Everyone has a concert they regret missing.
Whether is was an intimate show with the XX at DC9, Odd Future’s Valentine’s Day massacre at U Hall, or one of Dave Nada's now mythical Moombahton Monday’s at Velvet Lounge, that feeling of disappointment never leaves you.
Kendrick Lamar’s DC debut will be no different.
I can't say enough good things about Kendrick Lamar. As a naturally gifted lyricist with a dynamic sound, Kendrick recently caught the eye of Dr. Dre and has quickly solidified his roll as pivotal player in the next generation of Hip-Hop. Plus, he's just an all around great dude. Born and raised in Compton, CA, Kendrick refused to partake in the gangs and drugs that bitterly divided his neighborhood. Being a self-described "Good Kid in a Mad City," Kendrick chose to focus on his passion for music to show others that hope can prevail in the most hopeless of circumstances—and it paid off.
But, wait! There is more. Kendrick Lamar will also share the stage with a handful 0f other phenomenal emerging artists from DC and beyond. Keep scrolling for a little preview of the line up and for how to win tickets to the show this Friday at 9:30 Club.
Phil Ade: Phil’s most recent mixtape, A Different World, is pure fucking gold. Tracks like “Second Chances” are a welcome glimpse into a unique sound he has worked hard to craft.
School Boy Q: What's not to like about School Boy Q's laid back but calculated style? Additionally, he has the baddest hoes and the finest weed.
Ashton Travis: I'm phyched t0 see this dude live. I'd also love to hear him do something with Tayyib Ali and Stalley.
Phuture Phil: Infectious hooks for days! Another great artist from the 368 Music Group. I need one of those shirts.

this isn't kendrick's debut in DC!

YES. this will be epic
Best historical wingman for me would be Deano, dude is coolest man in history. Just by hanging with him I would become cooler in everyone's eyes, also you know he is down to drink and party.
President James Buchanon aka Presidental Playah aka the only bachelor president ever aka best historical wingman
Shirley Chisholm and I just tryna politik on the balcony at the 9:30 club.
well...fictional, I would say, Dolemite. Because his long pimpish tirades would make me come off like the strong silent type.
Non-fictional, Historical...I would say Flavor Flav because he's the greatest hype man of all time. (he's not deceased I know but I am pretty sure he's diseased.)
Bill Clinton duh...what other president do you know of that has kept it so pimp??
Mick Jagger for sure.. chicks love Mick Jagger and going to a bar with him would be endless titties being shown. With all the influx of twat thrown his way, one word from the Mick would guarantee me some ass.
"'kick 'em to the curb unless they look like mick jagger'
LOL.

175513 @KSPP30: Bernie Mac would of been a great wing man. First he would be able to help break ice with the group of females, while I pick out the hot chick. He would be down to take one for the team because he's just trying to bust a nut. "If you don't bust a nut when I bust a nut... then you fresh outta fuckin' luck wit' me!"
Also, if Bernie saw some dudes or the girl's friend trying to cock block me.. he would be quick to the rescue.

RIP Bernie Mac.
- CHEA!
Nikola Tesla -- dude had absolutely no use for sex despite having lightning shows that would make panties drop, even by today's standards. How could we let that go to waste?
Jesus of Nazareth
He won't out out shine your swag
Instant liquor creation
He's always trying to save the sluttiest chicks
And how can you beat a pick up line like "Baby, I'd die for you. All you have to do is nail me."
Just emailed the winner!
