Watch Kendrick Lamar Talk Taylor Swift & Perform “These Walls” On ‘Ellen’
I don’t know when, exactly, it became the wave for rappers with tons of credibility to start gabbing it up on The Ellen Degeneres Show in between Sophie Grace & Rosie segments, but it will never not be odd to me. I suspect friend of the show Kanye West is largely to blame for it, but hey, if it gets the soccer mom set exposed to rappers not named “Iggy,” then more power to Ellen.
Kendrick Lamar today (May 27) was the latest hip-hop star to appear on the program. He performed To Pimp A Butterfly track “These Walls” alongside a dancing couple, as his face was projected onto the stage and a painter captured the scene. After the captivating performance, he stuck around to chat about being a positive influence and working with Taylor Swift for “Bad Blood.”
