Kendrick Lamar has taken crowd interaction to a whole new level with the stunt he is now doing. The "To Pimp A Butterfly" rapper is now bringing fans onstage to rap some of his tracks with him and some obviously do it better than others. This weekend during Sweetlife Festival at the Merriweather Pavilion just outside of Washington, DC, Kendrick Lamar brought a fan onstage to rap his tune "m.A.A.d City' with him.
Standing onstage with his band at the food and music two-day festival, K.Dot asked the simple, yet very important question: "Do anybody wanna come up here and rap 'm.A.A.d City?' I'm just asking..."
This elicited cheers and hands flying to the sky as super fans begged to be brought on stage by Kendrick.
"For some reason I feel the energy up in here," the Compton rapper declared. "For some reason, I think y'all have been rocking with me long enough for one of y'all to come up on this stage, under one condition: you gotta know every single motherf*ckin' word to 'm.A.A.d City' if I bring you on stage."
He walked around stage for a little bit, picking out a girl for later, who jumped on stage despite not being officially chosen, before picking a dude in all white. He completely fumbled the opportunity, making up words on the fly and after a few seconds was sent back into the crowd.
Kendrick was prepared for this situation and almost expected it, remarking that the ladies seem to do it better than the men when he does this. So he brought up a woman who got on stage and crushed "m.A.A.D City" in a duet with Lamar.
