    I usually don't see artists performing without earpieces, this is actually the first time I notice someone doing it. Either way, this is such a good performance and daaamn that sax... In my opinion, Kendrick is one of the best today.

      i mean... it is a song written to justify the inexcusable, hence:

      'Less I write it down for real, P.S"
      just wanted to add this bcuz it felt necessary, but what aidan said was enough.

    Yeah I wasn't trying to hate on Em or anything. That's just what came to mind first for me as I actually remember seeing that on SNL and being a bit disappointed. I imagine for television they might have made some adjustments that he normally wouldnt do for a live performance. And I havent seen him live so I'm sure you're right on. What I think make's Kendrick's performance stand out so much is because he is on such a big stage, he just did it all himself, no hype man, just live instruments
