Kendrick Lamar’s U.S. Tour Comes to a Cinematic Close with Fourth Straight Sold-Out Show at Crypto.com Arena

The hometown hero will continue his tour next month in Europe.

Outside of the Crypto.com Arena on Saturday (Sept. 17), Los Angeles was in a frenzy. Bacon-wrapped hot dogs sizzled on grease-spattered portable grills, while a handful of street vendors eagerly flashed colorful Kendrick Lamar-themed bucket hats and t-shirts to whoever was willing to steal an unintentional glance. Crosswalks were in disarray, an outpouring of fans more consumed by their swelling anticipation for seeing Compton’s beloved on the last U.S. stop of his The Big Steppers Tour than the flashing orange stop signal. 

Trending on Billboard

Kendrick lamar paints emotional picture of domestic life in ‘we cry together’ short film.

As the lights illuminating the arena extinguished abruptly, fans erupted into cheers as album opener “United in Grief” reverberated throughout the 20,000 bodies. The introductory track reiterates Lamar’s intention for his most revealing project to date: “I hope you find some peace of mind.” 

Once the suit-wearing dancers arrived to the main stage, a single spotlight came to life in the left corner of the stage, revealing a stern Lamar, seated earnestly at an upright piano alongside his tour companion: a ventriloquist dummy of himself. His outfit, a TI$A-branded white suit dripping in pinkish-red graffiti honoring his native Compton, differed from getups worn on other legs of the tour, but the shimmering silver glove (a la Michael Jackson) remained the same.

Although his entire set carried themes of relinquishing ego, Lamar nevertheless budgeted time to receive the crowd’s never-ending praise, as he slowly glided down the catwalk, dummy in hand, standing still as a statue at a lone mic stand amidst a cloud of smoke. His motionlessness somehow provoked the crowd into louder cheers, as a “Kendrick” chant began to swell across the massive room.

Completely still, save his mouth and the hand that moves that of his doll, the pgLang mastermind delivered the song’s opening lines, performing bar for bar without a vocal track. It was a testament to the rapper’s endurance, carrying 20,000 fans on the strength of his conviction alone, a theme throughout the Mr. Morale spectacular.

From there, Lamar went back and forth between new and old, breaking into the pulsating “Worldwide Steppers” before celebrating a decade of “Backseat Freestyle,” the crowd erupting in repetitions of “Martin had a dream” as lights strobed throughout. After “Rich Spirit,” the debated hip-hop messiah toweled off in the darkness. As the lights came up, he hopped across the stage like a child with each piano key played over the speakers. “Mr. Morale, you’ve once again let your ego get the best of you,” warned Helen Mirren, the concert’s narrator — making for the perfect transition into “HUMBLE.”

As dancers encircled Lamar, some of their moves resembling divine nine step shows, Lamar descended for his one and only barely-there break of the show, thirty-minutes in, with an hour to go. He returned with a string of crowd-pleasers, including a theatrical medley of “King Kunta,” “LOYALTY,” “Swimming Pools. (Drank)” and finally, “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” — as well as lyrically centered moments performing cuts like “LUST” and “Count Me Out,” complemented by shadow play and high-resolution visuals on screen.

Keem wasn’t the only musician to make a guest appearance, with Tanna Leone taking the stage behind Lamar soon after for “Mr. Morale,” the 24-year-old newcomer shirtless and surrounded with flames. Before bringing the show to a close, Lamar left no suspicions of an encore, with all of his hits being heavily concentrated in the first half of the show. He simply reminded us that he is not our savior, assured he won’t be gone for long, and then disappeared one final time into the darkness.

See Kendrick Lamar Debut ‘Mr. Morale’ Songs Live at Big Steppers Tour Kickoff

By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

Kendrick Lamar kicked off the North American leg of his Big Steppers Tour Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, where the rapper delivered the live debut of a handful of tracks from his latest LP.

While Lamar premiered a bunch of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers songs live at his recent Europe gigs — including his headlining set at Glastonbury — Tuesday’s show at the Paycom Center featured the first-ever performances of “Worldwide Steppers,” “Purple Hearts,” “Father Time,” “Die Hard,” “Crown” and “Mr. Morale,” the latter featuring guest Tanna Leone.

Their song spawned an internet mystery. now they’re ready to tell their story, kristi noem defends executing 14-month-old dog: ‘it was not a puppy’, kendrick did everything he needed to on ‘euphoria’.

Lamar’s tour-opening setlist also included five tracks from Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and Damn ., but his landmark To Pimp a Butterfly was nearly untouched: Only the hit “Alright” was performed from that album. Rounding out the concert was “Family Ties,” with Baby Keem appearing onstage for that collaborative track.

The rapper’s Big Steppers arena tour continues this week with three Texas concerts before Lamar’s headlining set Sunday at Rolling Loud Miami. After that, his trek continues on the road through the middle of September, when he’ll wrap up the North American leg with two hometown shows at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.

Kendrick lamar fires back at drake with vicious 'euphoria' diss track, kendrick lamar lays into drake with 6-minute diss ... you're not really black, a-hole.

• Breaking News

Kendrick Lamar took his time responding to Drake , but now he's finally dropped an explosive track aiming to discredit Drake's claim to everything he raps about in the Black community!!!

Kendrick's bombshell, entitled "Euphoria," is a 6-minute tongue-lashing that rips apart the Toronto rapper's "tough guy" image. Basically, Kendrick's calling BS on Drake's -- and his manager Chubbs ' -- connections to the underworld.

The song gets deep at times, Kendrick spits he knows some things about the OVO camp that will make "Gunna Wunna look like a Saint" and also threatens violence on Drake for referencing his wife in his "Push Ups" diss .

On the same note, Kendrick ripped Drake for never responding to Pusha T , and sending cease and desist letters over his "Like That" feature.

Of course, there were plenty of digs at Team OVO ... Kendrick slammed Drake's ghostwriters and said he got wind they were making calls hoping to get dirt on his name!!!

Kendrick also labeled Drake as a "scam artist" and took exception to Drake's dig at "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" with a gut shot of his own to those plastic surgery rumors ... " Yeah, my first one like my last one/It’s a classic/You don’t have one/Let your core audience stomach that/Then tell them where you get ya abs from.”

J. Cole apologized to Kendrick for his "7 Minute Drill" diss at his Dreamville Festival, and Kendrick seems to clear him here, but also reminds him and Drake he plays for keeps ... "Cole and Aubrey know/I’m selfish, The crown is heavy, I pray they my real friends/But if not, I’m YNW Melly.”

Drake pressured Kendrick to respond to his "Taylor Made Freestyle" -- before it got scrubbed off the internet , but promised he had more disses stacked in the chamber.

Yep, the 2024 Rap Wars are far from over!!!

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast , available on all podcast platforms.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

10 AAPI Music Executives Making an Impact in 2024

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and this year’s theme has been dubbed “Advancing Leaders Through Innovation” by the Federal Asian Pacific American Council. The organization not only works to support AAPI leaders in government, but to empower AAPI individuals all around the world to find success and growth in their careers in all fields.

Popular on Variety

Warda Baig  Live Nation Global tour promotion

Baig works with a diverse mix of artists and genres, including Daniel Caesar, Niall Horan, NF, TLC, and Shaggy. She also played a major role in promoting Kendrick Lamar’s “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers” tour in 2022, one of the top-grossing hip-hop tours of all time.

Warda’s current slate of tours includes Maggie Rogers, Tye Tribbett and Friends, and Daryl Hall and Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton. She works closely with Live Nation’s External Resource Group, Asian Nation, overseeing the production of events that aim to raise awareness, educate, and celebrate Asian culture.

Have you seen progress in the music industry as far as AAPI representation?

What do you think is the most pressing issue the AAPI community is facing?

We need to focus on continuing to develop AAPI leaders, particularly for positions in C-suites, boardrooms, and other leadership roles across the industry.

Nick Barr Pulse Senior vice president

Barr is currently works in A&R and leads digital marketing at the publishing and management outfit. Previously a VP of A&R and creative strategy at Island Records, at that company he played a key role in signing and developing new talent such as Charlieonnfriday and led campaigns for Sabrina Carpenter — whose song “Nonsense” garnered nearly a billion streams across all platforms — along with Shawn Mendes, Demi Lovato, Lauren Spencer-Smith and more.

Barr began his music career while attending college in Louisville, Kentucky, and worked with R&B stars Bryson Tiller and Khalid early in their careers. Barr has also been on Lil Tjay’s management team for the past five years, and works with 14-year-old country-pop artist Maddox Batson.

Yes, I definitely think so. It’s great to see executives like [Warner Records EVP] Karen Kwak and [Warner Chappell publishing VP] Jon Chen, and artists like Keshi, Joji, and newcomer Beabadoobee. However, I saw a recent study that 44% of U.S. citizens cannot name a single famous Asian-American, and that is a problem. 

The biggest issue is still an overall lack of community, support and representation. I had the privilege of sitting on the Universal Music Group AAPI executive committee with great UMG executives Barry Fernando and Raymond Mai, and that is a great start — but we all need to do better. 

In addition to increased visibility for AAPI execs and artists, I think more progress starts with empowering the next generation of young AAPI executives, artists, and creatives alike — while supporting their ambitions in letting them know that yes, it is possible to have a career and be successful as an Asian-American in the entertainment industry.

Have you seen progress in the music industry as far as AAPI representation? 

Yes – but it’s still early innings. Largely as a reaction to the rise in anti-Asian racism during the pandemic, the AAPI community over the last few years has galvanized like never before to change the cultural narrative surrounding us, on our terms and through our voices. This has led to a creative boom in distinctly Asian-led stories and casts attaining commercial success on a global basis in film and television. I truly believe that this groundswell will cross over to other cultural categories, including comedy and music — in fact, you’re starting to see this already. There’s pent-up demand for diversity on our screens and stages, which is being met by a growing pipeline of AAPI artists and creators who are inspired by increasingly more examples of success around them.  

Representation, however, is also critical behind the scenes. We need to continue cultivating the next generation of AAPI leaders and similarly show them that ceilings can be broken. I’m constantly inspired by AAPI leaders in our industry, like Christine Cao (of Live Nation Concerts) who are true change-makers that invest in Asian talent on and off our stages.

What do you think is the most pressing issue the AAPI community is facing? 

Asian leaders have a responsibility. While we’re starting to see more Asian executives in positions of influence, they’re still the ones who are “breaking through” against the statistics. Asians as a group see one of the biggest drop-offs in senior and executive management representation. It’s our job as leaders to reach back and pull our community up through guidance, coaching, and mentorship, so that representation becomes the norm and not the exception. Trailblazers need to show others the trail.

Janet Kim UTA Music agent

Kim represents a wide array of clients such as ABS-CBN, AleXa, BUSTED, eaJ, Gottmik, Joe Jonas, Johnny Orlando, KARD, Natalie Jane, Paris Hilton, Plastique, Violet Chachki, Zolita, Patrick Martin, and more.

Alongside global co-head of music David Zedeck, Kim works to expand the K-Pop roster for UTA, signing top names like PSYand KARD and working with upcoming acts like Billlie, LUCY and STAYC. 

Kim has also been working with Paris Hilton to continue to expand and develop her brand, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community. Kim helped secure Hilton’s Pride Month kickoff concert in June 2023, which took place at the Fonda Theatre with special guests Saweetie and Kim Petras. 

In the multi-hyphenate space, Kim represents Golden Globe winning and Emmy-nominated actress, singer and activist, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. She performed on the main stage at LA Pride last summer and the main stage at Nashville Pride, booked by Kim and her colleagues. 

AAPI is a very small label for a very diverse and complex group of people. Although there is a megaphone on certain genres of music coming out of Asia, there are still many AAPI artists and voices not being heard. The big business and pop culture penetration of certain Asian genres has benefitted AAPI artists here in the States by proving the viability of Asian talent. However, there is still so much more to discover and support. Also, when it feels like there is only room for a couple of AAPI artists to break through, it creates an environment of silos. The most pressing issue facing the AAPI music industry community is not having a community yet! There were too few AAPI artists to even be a “group,” and although it is slowly growing, we’re still too divided to be called a community.  

Zeena Koda Asian American Collective Co-founder

As the co-founder of this AAPI non-profit, Koda leads its focus on mentorship, community and raising awareness for the music and creative industries. Koda is also a board member of FACE, a non-profit aimed at amplifying Filipino creatives in media and bringing them to the forefront, as well as a Grammy Academy member helping launch the Grammy Gold Alliance this year.

A 15-year veteran of the music, brand, tech and entertainment industries, Koda led Urban Digital Marketing for Atlantic and Motown Records, working with Grammy-winning artists like Nipsey Hussle, Meek Mill, Hayley WIlliams and Lil Yachty. Previously, at Cornerstone Agency she served as a key strategist for lifestyle campaigns integrating artists for Converse and Vitaminwater, as well as digital campaigns for A24 and record labels. She’s also a former SiriusXM media personality and podcast host.

There has not only been incredible progress, but it feels like there finally is a seat at the table for us in the larger scheme of media. When you look at who is moving global music, acts like Seventeen and Stray Kids are dominating revenue-generation at the top. The Recording Academy has finally launched the Gold Alliance, aimed at giving more visibility to AAPI musicians and professionals across its network. 88rising has generated one of the biggest global festivals. Gold House has created a space for visibility at the highest tiers. Many community organizations like ours, Asian American Collective, have transformed what community looks like for API’s and connected creatives across interests. We’re seeing more and more organic and authentic representation across the industry because more of us are filling these seats. 

Nina Lee  Oriel Company VP of communications

With over a decade of PR experience, Lee spearheads campaigns and strategy for major artists like Maxwell, Daniel Caesar, No ID, Betty Who, Hannibal Buress and 88rising’s Joji and Rich Brian as well as up-and-comers like D4vd and UMI. A first-generation Korean American and New York University graduate, Lee began her career at Press Here Publicity before moving over to Shore Fire Media in 2015, and joined Oriel six years later.

Yes! There certainly has been progress in recent years. Asians and Asian-Americans are making strides and gaining visibility and recognition across multiple genres, from R&B and hip-hop to pop and alternative. I feel lucky to represent acts like Rich Brian, Joji, Audrey Nuna, and UMI, who are all making strides in an industry that does not have a long track record of making Asian artists into stars — not to mention working on massive live events like Head in the Clouds New York Music & Arts Festival, curated by 88rising. This is an event created by and catering to Asians and Asian-Americans — it’s not something I could have dreamed of when I was younger.

However, challenges and underrepresentation will of course continue to persist, and there’s still work to be done to ensure equitable opportunities and recognition for AAPI artists. Advocates and industry insiders need to continue to push for more diversity and inclusion in the music industry, both on and off the stage. 

The model minority myth is a harmful stereotype that suggests certain minority groups, particularly Asian-Americans, are inherently successful, hardworking and academically or economically high-achieving. 

In the context of the music industry, the model minority myth can manifest in various ways. For example, AAPI artists may be pressured to conform to certain stereotypes or expectations, limiting their creative expression and opportunities. The same goes for executives.

Addressing the model minority myth in the music industry requires challenging these ideas that have been baked into us while amplifying diverse voices and experiences and advocating for equitable opportunities and representation for all artists. It’s essential to recognize the complexity and diversity within AAPI communities and to create spaces that allow for authentic and inclusive storytelling in music.

Ellen Lu   Goldenvoice Vice president

Absolutely. Now more than ever, people’s palate for global entertainment has expanded, and we see that through the music, films, TV shows, books and more that people are consuming. Plus, there’s a new generation of homegrown Asian-American talent at the forefront of this movement, redefining the landscape of representation in music for our community. We’re also seeing a shift happening behind the scenes across all sectors of the music industry, and this shift is credited to those who paved the way before us: Instead of continuing to walk ahead without looking back, a lot of them have turned around to reach for us and pull us up.

In the same breath as my answer above, there’s still a lot of progress to be made when it comes to AAPI representation. There’s a disconnect when it comes to a more holistic representation of the AAPI community beyond East Asian representation (Korea, China, and Japan). Asia is vast and encompasses so many other countries, so when we speak of AAPI representation it needs to include South and South-East representation. Although many strides have been made (and we should be proud of it!), we need to strive for a more inclusive concept of true representation for our community.

Brittany Nguyen  Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records Director of marketing

A Los Angeles native, Nguyen oversees marketing strategy for such acts as Lana Del Rey, Imagine Dragons, Karol G, D4vd, Role Model, Cuco and more. Previously, Nguyen was a member of the marketing team at AWAL, where she worked on campaigns for Lauv, Girl in Red, Steve Lacy, Mxmtoon, Kim Petras and Snoh Aalegra, as well as the Asian-American-centric label and platform 88rising.

I feel very lucky that I’ve always had exceptional AAPI mentors in my life, but it’s much easier to connect with others across the community nowadays. When I first started in music, it was hard to find and connect with people who looked like me — I didn’t know there were so many AAPI in music. I joined 88rising because I was deeply drawn to work for my culture. When I left in 2021, I was scared I wouldn’t ever be able to find a community of incredible, smart, creative AAPI executives and work with them in the same way as I did at 88. 

There’s still a disconnect with AAPI coverage in media. I wish more people paid attention to AAPI stories – good or bad – and not just during APAHM. Within our own community, we’re often taught to respect hierarchy, to concede to authority, and to be grateful for what we already have. But it’s not enough to just be here. We also need to be talked about, celebrated, and seen. Visibility and recognition are outcomes we must keep pushing for.

Vivian Phan TikTok Senior manager of label & promotion partnerships

In her role managing relationships with major label partners and marketing initiatives, Phan’s recent campaigns for viral tracks include Thủy’s “Girls Like Me Don’t Cry” (sped up), Justine Skye’s “Collide” (sped up) and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.” 

A Vietnamese-American native of Orange County, Phan was a pre-med student before joining the Crowd Surf marketing agency in 2015. She eventually lauched her own digital marketing and social media business; over the years she has worked closely with artists such as Becky G and CNCO, spearheading their social media strategies. She is also a member of the Asian-American Collective, where she has served as a mentor.

There’s been a lot of progress since I started in music 10 years ago. I remember being the only AANHPI employee at one of my jobs – there wasn’t representation like there is now. Today, our brothers and sisters are in leadership roles, there are community groups like AAC and [the AAPI female-owned clothing brand] Asian-American Girl Club, and there are Vietnamese-American artists like Thủy and Tongan-American artists like Dinah Jane who are making an impact in music and throughout our communities. However, there will always be more work to be done. It’s important that our community continues to support and uplift one another because no one else is going to care as much as we do. That’s what my late dad taught me through his advocacy for our local Vietnamese community. He’s the reason for my passion and dedication to this.

Frankie Yaptinchay Amazon Music Senior industry relations lead

Yaptinchay has spearheaded the Amazon Music and Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective’s work to launch a HBCU Scholarship program called Your Future Is Now. This program offers HBCU students a $10,000 scholarship and a week-long immersive program to meet with Amazon Music department leads. This initiative has donated music equipment grants to five HBCUs and created 12 scholarships for students pursuing a career in the music business.

He is also a Recording Academy Governor and Co-Founder of the Gold Music Alliance (GMA). This new collective was launched during the 2024 Grammy week and is the first API focused initiative at the Recording Academy, amplifying Asian and Asian Americans in the music industry. He also spearheaded a collaboration with Asian American Girl Club.

Absolutely. There has always been AAPI representation in the music industry, the big difference now is that the contributions of Asian and Asian Americans are being recognized on a larger scale. And this isn’t just in music. Across fashion, film, TV, sports, and food, the AAPI community is driving the culture forward. We still have a long way to go, but in the past few years I’ve seen progress in the accessibility of AAPI professionals and creatives in the music industry.

Just look at the wide array of Asian and American talent featured at marquee festivals like Coachella this year. The prominent placement of 88Rising, Thuy, Ateez, the Rose, Yoasobi & Le Sserafim, Peggy Gou, and more at these events demonstrates the global impact these artists are making at the highest level. These artists are breaking down barriers and making history, and I couldn’t be prouder on the visibility they are providing for future generations. I also love seeing the community supporting one another in driving representation forward thanks to AAPI focused organizations like Goldhouse, Character Media, Asian American Collective to allies like the Recording Academy that have highlighted and celebrated Asian representation across diverse creator communities.

As strong as the AAPI community is, I still believe we can grow stronger together. We need more collaboration! There are so many amazing different groups doing incredible work in the industry, and I feel there are still dots to be connected to amplify their contributions on a global level (not to mention, finding one another). I think the AAPI community still faces issues accessing roles, networks, and resources. I also believe AAPI creators still are searching for community even amongst their own peer groups. I’d love to see the growth within the community internally to help grow the framework and build avenues for the next generation.

Your visit to the East Side Gallery

You can find all you need to know for your visit to the East Side Gallery on the Berlin Wall Foundation website.

Stiftung Berliner Mauer

Theodor Tezhik

The big kremlin’s wind.

Theodor Tezhik was born in Elektrostal (Russia) in 1946 and lives in Prague. In 1989 he was the first Russian to paint on the Berlin Wall. His painting “The Big Kremlin’s Wind” shows the soviet president Gorbachev flying into a crowd of people above the Kremlin in Moscow. The painting addresses the role the Kremlin played in the fall of the Wall.

The artist completed his colourful work “The Big Kremlin’s Wind” in only two days. It depicts a blustery storm whirling people into the air and causing the towers of the Kremlin in Moscow to bend. The later Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev is shown hanging upside down in the air. The phrase “Tempus fugit” (“Time flees”) along the upper edge is a reminder of the role the Kremlin played in the fall of the Wall and of how suddenly the political circumstances can change – as shown at the time in both East Germany and the then Soviet Union.

Tezhik graduated from the Moscow College of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1970 and worked as a set designer for theatre and film. He became known for his fantastical set sculptures and inventive use of visual metaphors. He has also produced music videos for bands and acclaimed stage productions as artist-in-chief of the International Theatre Olympics in Moscow as well as author and director of various plays for the festival.
