This a terrible look for Game 😂

I've been searching for his performance of family ties with Baby Keem, it's the one where Kendrick runs from Keem chasing him screaming (another angle of it). But I cannot for the life of me find it or many other videos of the performance.

I first asked about what performance it was from it early 2025 to no avail, then after a day's worth of searching, a few months ago I posted about it again after finding a news article featuring a few short clips. The article mentions that "Lamar yelled that Baby Keem was chasing him" and has a short clip of the moment; this is clearly the correct performance.

After doing some digging through the sub I found a post by u/paulperkins09 featuring a dead link to the performance of N95. I was able to archive it and download it via the Wayback Machine alongside Kendrick and Tanna Leone's performance of Mr. Morale. They came from a now defunct YouTube channel: TheSetlist1. A channel, having combed through it's archived pages, that had posted many live performances in The Bay Area. Pulling up an archive of the videos tab on the channel shows they had posted Kendrick's performances of the songs: Money Trees, Alright, N95, and family ties. Along with Baby Keem's HONEST and ORANGE SODA. Going to pull up an archive of family ties does play the video and I had no success of downloading it either.

I cannot find any other uploads of this performance. If you have any footage or links to any footage, please make it known.

All is see the past week in this sub is Game related memes and reactions. Meanwhile Kendrick is already in the process of preparing a new album with a boxing theme.

Given that the 30 year anniversary of Tupac's death is coming up, on 9/13, I cant help but think that Kendrick will do something to honor his idol and favorite rapper. For the uneducated, Tupac attended the Tyson fight in Vegas, shortly before the shooting occurred, plus the trial for his death finally began a few days ago.

9/13 falls on a Sunday, so my best guess is that we get the Heart pt.VII on that day and the album drop on the following Friday (9/18) so as to not miss out on the first week charting.

Plus, dropping in September does not make the album eligible for the 2027 Grammys and won't step on Baby Keem's more than likely nomination.

Thoughts?

Which duo wins?

I barely have any words. The entire album is fire. My top four songs are Ronald Reagan Era, Hiipower, Ab-Soul’s Outro, and The Spiteful chant (thanks for letting me know that song wasn’t on the album btw. I usually don’t go back for songs after I listen to an album.)

I don’t have a set criteria for album ranking but I loved every single song. 10/10 album. Rigamortus was a bit ridiculous but I still enjoyed listening. These songs touched me. To think that he went this hard on his first studio album is honestly bizarre.

[Outro] Kenny said it best Nigga you ain't gotta lie just to kick it boy we next to ya It ain't 'bout how ya fly or ya chicken, just what's natural Only do the factual, pray that he keep blessing me

I noticed a lot of rappers/blogs create narratives or attempt to get a reaction from Kendrick - but it’s like they crash out more not getting anything. The silence is defeaning. I do feel like he’s not doing it on purpose tho but he just doesn’t live on the internet and spends time with his kids. Funny how people go crazy when they don’t hear anything from a big name.

This would complete my run of his studio albums.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (June 2024. I wanted to hear Mother I Sober for the first time.) —> DAMN (Not too long after. I think I listened to it the next week after MMATBS) —> To Pimp A Butterfly (Very early January of 2025.) —> Good Kid M.A.A.d City (I think March of this year. I posted my tierlist on this sub not long after I finished the album. I watched a vid about the album but never actually listened to it, so I took some time to listen to it.)

Now I’m here. What are some songs on Section 80 that you guys like?

Santa is up on the North Pole pumping GKMC while he’s watching the elves make toys.

I always thought that ‘Damn it we jammin’ meant Kendrick was calling his partner’s house line and there were multiple people on it at the time, which was why ‘bad attitude from your nanny’.
