\"kendrick-TCR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night Kendrick Lamar<\/strong><\/a> closed down The Colbert Report<\/strong> (as the last musical guest) by introducing a scintillating new, unnamed song.\u00a0 As usual, Lamar<\/strong> simply lit up the stage.\u00a0 The new song has it all.\u00a0 Riffing on the advice forced on him\/us by seemingly everyone on the planet (agents, Indians, neighbors, you name ’em), the song begins spoken-word and segues through jazz-inflected flourishes of flute and saxophone while accelerating to a stunning finish.\u00a0 Watch as Thundercat <\/strong>(Flying Lotus<\/strong>) supports on bass (with a crazy head-thingy), Bilal<\/strong> and Anna Wise<\/strong> backing on vocals and Terrence Martin<\/strong> delivers on sax, along with a cast of awesome.\u00a0 No one does it better.\u00a0 And of course Colbert<\/strong> opens with his usual hilarious interview\/speech of the artist.\u00a0 Now THAT’S entertainment!\u00a0 Watch the performance followed by the interview below.<\/p>\n
