By performing Juneteenth’s “Pop Out” for his hometown, Kendrick Lamar did more than just entertain; he also made a significant charitable contribution to Los Angeles.

In a $200,000 donation to 20 organizations and city community activities in Los Angeles, K.dot, his company pgLang, Tim Hinshaw’s Free Lunch, and the special guests he brought out at the performance were reported by Billboard.

The West hasn’t witnessed this level of unity since we lost our brother Nipsey Hussle, according to Hinshaw. This was more than just a back-and-forth, as Dot stated on stage; it was an opportunity to show the world that we could stand united in the face of adversity. We hope that everyone will keep supporting these groups because of the important roles they play in our community’s growth.

One of the 20 groups that received funding was the Compton G.irls Club. In a statement, the group expressed their gratitude to pgLang and Free Lunch for acknowledging their origins and providing support to g.irls from the ghetto. It’s encouraging to see that Kendrick is committed to giving back to the community and helping the youth of today.

It seems like there was a subtle but potentially telling allusion to J. Cole during Kendrick Lamar’s historic Pop Out event, but nobody caught it at the time.

Kendrick played his 2015 single “Alright” at last week’s event at Inglewood’s Kia Forum. However, it was only recently that some attentive listeners noticed that the backing track was actually Cole’s remix, since the start included the Dreamville rapper’s ad-lib.

After Cole, a native of North Carolina, trashed Kendrick on “7 Minute Drill” in reaction to the scathing verse he dropped on “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin, this could have been an attempt at reconciliation with the North Carolina native.Cole promptly removed “7 Minute Drill” from streaming sites and apologized to Kendrick during his Dreamville Festival headline performance a few days later.

The two had been friends for a long time and had worked together on occasion before their short feud. Cole released a remix of his song “Alright” around the same time that Kendrick released “A Tale of Two Citiez” from his 2014 album Forest Hills Drive.

In 2011, Cole produced Kendrick’s single “HiiiPoWeR,” and for a long time, speculations circulated that the two would release an album together.
