It showed me that no matter where you start in life, hard work and dedication will put you where you hope and dream to be,” says Tim Hinshaw, Head of R&B and Hip-Hop for Amazon Music.

Inside Kendrick Lamar’s ‘The Big Steppers Tour’ Amazon livestream: “He is a global superstar”

The Compton rapper celebrated the 10th anniversary of 'good kid, m.A.A.d city' in Paris last weekend with a special Prime Video livestream of his 'Big Steppers Tour'

Everything has slotted smoothly into place for the 10th anniversary of Kendrick Lamar ‘s 2012 breakout album ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’. As its creator pulled into Paris on Saturday (October 22) for the latest date of his ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ tour, there were also celebrations required for his cousin, fellow Californian rapper and ‘Big Steppers Tour’ support act Baby Keem , who turned 22 on the day.

Amazon Music’s decision, then, to livestream last weekend’s momentous Accor Arena show to the world seemed like the obvious choice. Under the creative guidance of Lamar’s team, the livestream, which was broadcast on Prime Video and Twitch, was meticulously planned: shots were choreographed in detail and captured across 18 cameras, while Lamar’s recent shows in LA and Scandinavia were analysed to help shape plans for Paris. And it all paid off: Kendrick Lamar’s five-star show was a stunning audio-visual display from a true rap great.

Before Lamar’s Paris gig, NME sat down with Amazon Music’s Timothy Hinshaw (Head of Hip-Hop and Rap), Kirdis Postelle (Global Head of Artist Marketing) and Sean McMullan (Director of Artist Products and Services) to discuss their vision for Prime Video’s Kendrick Lamar Live: The Big Steppers Tour .

• READ MORE: Kendrick Lamar live in Paris: a dramatic display from a true great

NME : October 22, 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’. What is the lasting legacy of Kendrick Lamar’s second album? 

Timothy Hinshaw: “It was the first record that captured what it was really like to grow up in Compton. Before that album, it was like everybody in Compton had these glasses on, we wore baggy jeans… and everybody had a lowrider, right? Then that album came out and it was like, ‘This is an actual depiction of life in Compton’. It was a very honest body of work, and I think that’s why it still holds true to this day.”

As someone who’s also from Compton, what does it feel like watching Lamar’s phenomenal rise?

TH : “There’s videos of Kendrick in the projects rapping. To see him go from that, where everyone in his neighbourhood knows this kid and the songs he’s singing, to being in Paris and seeing this full-to-capacity arena sing every word… That ignited a fire in me when I was trying to break into this business, like, ‘If he can do it, I can accomplish my dreams’. He is a global superstar, but he’ll also show up in Compton and give back to the neighbourhood.”

What was behind the decision to livestream the Paris show instead of one of Lamar’s recent North American live dates?

TH : “It was just the story around it, the 10-year anniversary [of ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’]. The timing is always important for Kendrick and [his creative collective] pgLang: October 22 kinda lined up perfectly, and it’s also Baby Keem’s birthday. The story there, you can’t beat it… very romantic vibes.”

How did the preparations for the Paris livestream pan out?

Sean McMullan: “We’ve worked really closely with the pgLang team to make sure that we’re bringing this production to life in the right way, all the way down to the font size on the marketing. We also have exclusive merch that comes with it, so we’re trying to take a 360-view on every event we do.”

What has the response to ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ been like on Amazon Music?

TH : “When Kendrick first dropped [the album], he broke records on Amazon Music. It was really inspiring for us to see, just from a growth standpoint as a service… a lot of the other [streaming services] crashed that night, and everybody was coming to Amazon Music. We were the ones that championed and saved the night. So that was a really great thing for us.”

SM : “We’re just getting started. The livestreaming, the merch business, they’re all still really new for us – so tonight’s a really important moment. But there’s a lot more to come.”

How do you go about selecting artists for Amazon Music’s livestreams?

TH : “It’s mainly about building organic relationships between Amazon Music, Rotation [Amazon Music’s hip-hop and R&B brand] and artists. We never want to stand next to anything that feels forced, mainly just out of respect for the artist. We wanted to collectively build this from the ground floor in an organic way; to be able to stand next to a Kendrick Lamar, a Tyler, the Creator , or a J. Cole authentically.”

How important are accessibility and community focus to Amazon Music?

TH : “We do a lot of community work. We have a partnership with 21 Savage and his financial literacy programme, which sits kids from the inner city down and talks them through the dos and don’ts of finances. Being able to be a part of those conversations is top of my focus.”

Kirdis Postelle: “For our livestream series Hello, My Name Is , we partnered with a business [in Leimert Park, LA]. We shoot our show out of a local coffee shop there which is Black-owned, we hire a Black production company in a Black-owned business from a Black neighbourhood. It’s important for Amazon Music and Rotation specifically to show up in communities and be a part of the culture in a real, true and honest way.”

Amazon Music recently announced a new post- Thursday Night Football livestream series. How does the vision for that series align with that of the individual live shows?

KP: “For us, it’s all about building and delivering an audience to artists that wouldn’t ordinarily have access to that audience. So when Prime Video got the deal for Thursday Night Football , we were kind of like, ‘Huh, I bet that’s an audience we could deliver to artists, too: we could probably create the biggest promotional opportunity for artists ever  if we can bring some of those viewers from Thursday Night Football along’. We know how big it is and what the opportunity is, but the artists don’t… they wanna be on Saturday Night Live ! So this is some of the hardest work I’ve ever done, but I think it’s gonna be some of the most rewarding.”

Streamers are finally realizing the power of providing a platform for some of the world's biggest artists . Some of the best-loved performers in the world have now worked or will soon work alongside major streaming services, with Amazon Prime, in particular, a go-to place for the championing of the best in music . From Ed Sheeran to Lil Durk and even Green Day , Amazon Music Live offers fans a chance to see their favorite artists from their homes.

One such artist who has already found Prime to be the perfect home for their music is Kendrick Lamar , with the rapper and songwriter previously having his 2022 live concert, Kendrick Lamar Live: The Big Steppers Tour , streamed across the world. Now, the two are combining again for Kendrick's next project, The Pop Out – Ken & Friends . Since 2009, he's had the world jumping to his incredible music. So, with that in mind, here is a breakdown of exactly how you can watch and stream Kendrick's concert.

The Pop Out - Ken & Friends live concert officially begins at 4 p.m. PT/ 7 p.m. ET . For K-Dot lovers in the UK, of which there are many, this means the concert will begin at midnight. On the night before the concert, it was revealed via social media that DJ Hed and Mustard would be the show's opening act .

Officially, The Pop Out - Ken & Friends will be available to stream on Prime Video , adding it to the mouth-watering list of other content available on the platform . If you're someone without a Prime subscription who needs one in time for the concert, a Prime Video subscription is $8.99 per month or can come as part of the greater Prime package, which costs $14.99 per month. Alternatively, an annual subscription is available for $139.

Watch on Prime

The short answer is, yes! If you don't have access to Prime and still want to watch The Pop Out - Ken & Friends , streaming will also be available via Amazon Music's Twitch Channel .

Unfortunately, this special concert was promoted as a one-off event, meaning that no other performances have been scheduled . This is in line with the Juneteenth celebrations and is part of Amazon's Black Music Month celebration, championing the very best of the artists who have pioneered Black music, from producers to songwriters and performers.

The chance to see one of the greatest rappers and performers of all time was met with high demand, with tickets for the concert selling out instantly . Some even took to social media to claim that they were in an online queue of over 100,000 people, such as Kendrick's worldwide appeal. However, the allure of this show is also thanks in some small part to the battle Kendrick has recently had with Canadian rapper Drake , with this Kendrick's first major live performance since the debacle reignited. With their decade-long public clash taking somewhat of a hiatus in recent times, March saw Kendrick revisit the dispute in an appearance on Future and Metro Boomin 's single "Like That", in which he took the opportunity to call out both Drake and J. Cole for their 2023 single "First Person Shooter."

The response to the recent beef has been mixed, with many taking to various online platforms to express their frustrations that an old fire has been relit , all whilst Drake and Kendrick exchange diss tracks. Their claims against each other continued to grow in severity, with the two eventually pulling no punches and proving their disdain for each other is visceral . Some claim that this is part of the reason Kendrick is holding this concert, with the official announcement made just two weeks before its release on June 5.

If you're one of the many who will be tuning in for the live Kendrick concert, you're likely a fan of music in general, with plenty of eye-opening music-based movies waiting to stream online. Here are two such suggestions.

'Quincy' (2018)

Intricate personal documentaries are at their best when conducted with a clear passion for the subject, with Quincy being one of the best examples of this on Netflix. For over 70 years, Quincy Jones was one of the most influential men in music. Not just incredibly popular and even more talented, Quincy was also a pioneer for breaking down the barriers that created racial inequality within the music industry, proving once and for all that music was meant to be appreciated no matter its origin. Even earning a Primetime Emmy , this doc makes for fascinating viewing, as well as a pivotal watch for anyone who considers themselves a fan of modern music, seeing as much of it was influenced by Quincy himself.

Kendrick lamar takes the west coast off standby, the rapper's blowout juneteenth concert planted a flag for regional music, and a fresh dagger in a certain rival's heart.

When Kendrick Lamar released Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, he was jittery with agitation. There were many reasons within the songs for him to be anxious, which spend hard-earned therapy hours working through trauma, but he seemed most perplexed by those outside of his process seeking his voice in their struggles. His perceived silence during the dog days of activism in the early pandemic was met with questions and criticism, and in the face of those broader discussions, he made clear he would not be goaded into action. On “ Savior ,” he responded: “The cat is out the bag, I am not your savior,” later adding, “I rubbed elbows with people that was for the people / They all greedy, I don’t care for no public speaking / And they like to wonder where I’ve been / Protecting my soul in the valley of silence.” He did not want the burden of speaking for the culture, and felt it wasn’t in his job description.

We as listeners are not entitled to any artist sounding off, especially when they are protecting their souls, and while it is fair to ask a socially aware rapper to use his platform as a megaphone for the issues bearing down on his community, I think often of the 2004 Dave Chappelle joke about Ja Rule and 9/11: We don’t need everyone to talk about everything; sometimes they aren’t equipped. Everything is political, but music is not politics. Songs are just songs unless actively weaponized. Kendrick was right in the sense that his raps, while galvanizing, could not save the people moved by them. And yet, the sharpness of his rebuttal felt nearly antagonistic coming from the rapper who talked about a trip to South Africa giving him awareness and pride, who stared down Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera and who made “ Alright .”

Tellingly, Kendrick did not perform a single song off of Mr. Morale at “The Pop Out,” his Juneteenth event last night at the Forum in Los Angeles, live-streamed by Amazon Music. The energy wouldn’t have fit the experience, which was not about avoiding the onus but sharing the platform. The significance of the occasion brought certain expectations: the Compton rapper embracing the moment in a way that he had not previously, speaking more directly to and for the “we” of “Alright” and “ Not Like Us .” But in a grander sense, he seemed to be after a different kind of community organizing. The show quickly began to feel like a cookout he was sponsoring, where names like Remble and G Perico were familiar and welcome. Several generations of LA rappers made guest appearances, and Kendrick repeatedly talked about cultivating the new generation, hoping to sustain West Coast hip-hop across the next two decades. In his time of ascension, the most fearsome rapper working made a coalition of his crusade.

American Anthem

Both party and protest, 'alright' is the sound of black life's duality.

Whither the West Coast gangsta?

The event was broken up into three “& Friends” sets that seemed to build upon one another. After a DJ Hed set that brought out a colorful cast of lesser-known LA fixtures (Remble, Westside Boogie, RJMrLA, BlueBucksClan, Ohgeesy), “Not Like Us” architect Mustard, a pivotal West Coast player in his own right, set the tone for the rest of the night, the crowd reacting gleefully as the producer escorted noted locals through a handful of hits apiece. Some of those guests came with personal history: Mustard pointed out that Ty Dolla $ign taught him how to make beats before they launched into a song built on one of the first beats Mustard ever made, “ Paranoid .” Later, before leaping through a mini-set with longtime partner in crime YG , he waxed nostalgic about living across from the Forum long before they got on, working on the album that would break things open for both of them, My Krazy Life . Blog-era staples (Dom Kennedy) rubbed shoulders with chart-topping anomalies ( Roddy Ricch ), and there were particularly grand receptions for two artists on the outer edges of the LA hip-hop scene: the guitarist turned surprise sensation Steve Lacy and the Odd Future auteur Tyler, the Creator .

The “friends” Kendrick had in mind for his own circling of the bases seemed to consider the team-building that made his run possible. Mid-set he reunited the original TDE foursome Black Hippy — Jay Rock , Ab-Soul , ScHoolBoy Q and himself — by bringing each rapper up individually to receive a well-earned salute from the crowd. The gesture was cathartic for a certain kind of rap fan. Kendrick cut ties with TDE in 2020 to start pgLang with former label co-president Dave Free; he hasn’t made a song with another Black Hippy member in years. But rounding up the gang and taking a little tour of a few songs from the glory days seemed to bring an almost childlike delight out of him — playing hype man for Jay Rock during “ Win ,” which is like stadium catnip, and the freaky Mike WiLL joint “ King’s Dead ,” and teaming up with Q for the hard-bopping “ Collard Greens .” (The reunion’s deep sense of camaraderie could have only been improved by an impromptu run-through of the “Black Lip Bastard” remix.) When Kendrick rocked “ King Kunta ,” the others danced around the stage like no one was watching, with the that’s my jam! Enthusiasm of a favorite song suddenly spilling out of a boombox.

This symbolic act, gathering the pillars of one of rap’s most important indie movements of the last 25 years, was clearly a microcosm of the evening’s larger theme of cross-color solidarity: coming together in awe of what was built collectively, and looking to its foundations as evidence of a monument whose peaks could reach even higher. “This is unity at its finest,” Kendrick said at one point, having brought dozens of Los Angeles figures onto the stage for a group photo that called to mind 2005’s “ Great Day ” shoot in Atlanta and the 1958 Harlem jazz roundup that inspired it. “For all of us to be together onstage, that s*** is special. Everybody on this stage got fallen soldiers.” But it was hard to overlook the fact that the thing unifying the coast in this moment was not love but hate, and Kendrick, the self-proclaimed biggest Drake hater , was primarily operating in his capacity as speaker for the culture in his personal war with the Toronto high roller. If the matter wasn’t settled before, then it certainly is now.

In that light, it was striking how many lines from old Kendrick songs now read like disses, in the context of a show that often played like a block party interrupting a wake. As Kendrick paraded the audience through hallmarks of his career — his first hit (“ Swimming Pools ”), his first No. 1 (“ HUMBLE. ”), his blockbuster soundtrack (“King’s Dead”), his American anthem (“Alright”) — he was also taking them on a guided tour past a corpse, and so every time a lyric rang off that matched the tenor of his animosity, the words felt retroactively prescient. “Most of y’all throw rocks and try to hide your hand / Just say his name and I promise that you’ll see Candyman.” “I can dig rappin’, but a rapper with a ghostwriter, what the f*** happened?” “You ain’t really wild, you a tourist.” “I don’t do it for the ‘Gram, I do it for Compton." I kept seeing Drake’s face in so many of the verses. Of course, the targeted diss tracks were right there in the rotation, in conversation with Kendrick’s rise to top dawg. Choosing violence, he opened with “ Euphoria ” and performed every Drake diss except “Meet the Grahams.” Each one punctuated an otherwise raucous set full of crowd pleasers that crescendoed into a performance of “California Love” with Dr. Dre . When Dre paused his exit from the stage to utter the words “I see dead people,” it felt like the spark setting off a powder keg that had been waiting to blow all night long. Kendrick, sensing the moment, did not let it slip past him.

“Not Like Us” commanded its own portion of the show, where it rang out like a clarion call. He played the song five times in a row, each rendition more jubilant than the last. When he ran it back the first time, after holding onto the “A minor” line for dear life, he let the crowd rap the verse word-for-word as he bobbed around the stage, encouraging them to shout “Certified Lover Boy, certified pedophile” and drag that vowel to the moon and back. By the fourth run, Mustard had led a convoy of people onto the stage. As they came streaming to Kendrick’s side, the camera caught several of their faces: many of the performers from across the day, the NBA stars DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook, the radio host Big Boy. The effect was the sensation that all Los Angeles was on stage with him — “Bloods, Crips, Pirus,” as he put it. “Show the world this.” By the time they took that group photo, it seemed as if they had.

When “The Pop Out” was all over, “Win” felt like the most fitting summation of the night. The song’s battle cry — “You either with me or against me, ho!” — rang true for a rapper who had seemingly rallied the entire world, its ultimatum answered in the overwhelming support shown for his cause on this day. It was a resounding win for him, of course, but the night also felt like a win for regional music, its distinct style and sound and swagger, a win for an unscalable kind of hip-hop that is supposedly being blotted out by more centrist hip-pop, and a win for the culture, which Kendrick is so adamant about speaking for now. Sometimes it just takes the right opportunity.
