Kendrick Lamar Returns To Saturday Night Live (Recap)


.
On Monday Kendrick Lamar Returns To Saturday Night Live was a top story. Here is the recap: (Radio.com) Kendrick Lamar returned to Saturday Night Live with a pair of rather creepy contacts, but unfortunately no brand new songs. With a band in tow, Lamar commanded the stage, giving a jittery take on his latest single, "i." And if it wasn't for those black contacts he was wearing, you might have been able to only focus on his technique.

Wearing those contacts, while standing under a purple light, made Lamar look rather possessed and had people on Twitter saying he looked like anything from an alien to Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Lamar rattled off lines about loving himself before pulling out some of the dance moves he performed in the song's video, ending the track with a little spoken word.

But, for his second song, Lamar pulled a fake out and didn't actually perform a new song of his own. Instead he played Jay Rock's track "Pay For It," giving his TDE associate the spotlight.

Chantal Kreviazuk-who should be familiar to anyone who listens to Drake-kicked things off before Rock joined in as Lamar sat in the background of the dark stage. Dressed all in white, Lamar did his one verse and spent the rest of the time dancing, barely making eye contact with the camera.

The show once again poked a little fun at Taylor Swift. This time it was Woody Harrelson singing about what he remembered about 1989 in his monologue. Turns out he was pretty high so his take on the year is probably not that accurate.

At least according to his Hunger Games co-stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence, or as Harrelson calls her "the real Taylor Swift," who came out to interrupt his monologue and help him sing his song.
