Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out Concert Features Hidden J. Cole Easter Egg
Kendrick Lamar’s recent Pop Out concert has sparked speculation about a potential reconciliation with J. Cole after a subtle nod to the Dreamville rapper during his performance of “Alright.” The backing track used by Kendrick was actually Cole’s remix of the song, with Cole’s ad-lib audible in the intro.
This gesture comes after J. Cole previously dissed Kendrick on “7 Minute Drill,” only to backtrack and apologize during his headlining performance at the Dreamville Festival. The two artists have a long history of friendship and collaboration, with rumors swirling for years about a joint album that never came to fruition.
In a recent interview, Cole discussed the close relationship he had with Kendrick and the potential for a collaborative project. He revealed that they had discussed doing an album together, but timing and the demands of their individual careers ultimately prevented it from happening.
While the joint album may never materialize, fans of both Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole can appreciate the mutual respect and admiration that exists between the two artists. The subtle nod during Kendrick’s concert may be a sign of a renewed friendship and potential future collaborations between the two hip-hop heavyweights.
