Kendrick Lamar Freestyles Over Tupac's 'Hit Em Up': Listen

Over the weekend, hip-hop celebrated the one-year anniversary of the release of Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning album DAMN.

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

For the occasion, West Coast radio mainstay Big Boy blessed Kung Fu Kenny fans with an unreleased freestyle from K. Dot over Tupac's famed 1996 "Hit Em Up" diss track.

The never-before-heard freestyle was posted to Big Boy's Neighborhood Instagram on Saturday (April 14) accompanied with a caption looking for 92.3 listeners to rate Kendrick's bars. We can assume the clip is from Lamar's last trip to "The Neighborhood" back in June 2017. That interview was in support of his latest LP, as the 30-year-old was sporting the same attire for the freestyle.

Big Boy would shout out various topics and the Compton native shrewdly turned them into bristling rhymes. "You see me undefeated/ I’m rocking off top, throw some words in the air/ Throw some birds in the air/ Big Boy in the morning all the time/ Been rocking since I was 9/ You know how we sign, you know how we live/ Chuck sizzle on my side/ Compton that’s my home since seeing Pac in videos," he raps.

Check out Kendrick Lamar's freestyle and the 2017 interview with Big Boy TV below.
