Kendrick Lamar Takes Over Arsenio Hall’s New Show

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

 

Arsenio Hall’s new show debuted last week to great ratings, and like most late night talk shows, he attracts top notch talent.

The most talked-about artist in rap, Kendrick Lamar,  joined the show on Tuesday night, performed “M.A.A.D. City” and then sat down with Arsenio for an interview.

After his remarks, Kendrick went back to the stage joining his fellow TDE Music rapper Schoolboy Q to close out the show with a performance of their hit single “Collard Greens.”

According to rolling stone.com:

“Lamar took the stage to perform ‘Collard Greens’ with Schoolboy Q. The Compton MC hung back near the drums, dancing and mouthing along to the words while Schoolboy opened the song off his upcoming album Oxymoron. When Lamar’s turn came, he commanded the stage with his rapid-fire verses while Schoolboy looked on, moving to the beat.”

Kendrick and Schoolboy have been promoting the single heavily this week. Just a day before The Arsenio Hall Show, the TDE duo performed “Collard Greens” in from of a New York City crowd.  Schoolboy Q’s new album Oxymoron is set to be released sometime later this year, but there’s currently no official date.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
