Kendrick Lamar – Closing His Glastonbury Set With His Song ‘Savior’

As the only rapper to ever receive a Pulitzer Prize and be deemed as a savior by the black community, Kendrick Lamar is seen as one of the most influential artists in the game.

But in the song “Savior,” Lamar reveals that he doesn’t want to be a savior to black people, or even be their role model. Instead, he wants to heal himself.

1. The Crown Of Thorns

In an end-of-show chant, rapper Kendrick Lamar ended his Glastonbury headline set with a powerful protest against the roll-back of abortion rights in the US. Closing his song ‘Savior’ from his latest album Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, the rapper chanted “they judge you; they judge Christ” as blood trickled down his face from a crown of thorns he had been wearing on the stage.

The performance – which was filmed live from the Pyramid stage – is a starkly political one, examining a variety of themes including guilt, loyalty, power and prejudice. The rapper also reflected on his own flaws and self-awareness.

2. The Lambo Body

the aforementioned cypher neo is tamer on the ghetto fused to the sexies and the unflappable genus sexies. Its deigned occupants are as naughty as they are nice. The good times trumps the bad ones aplenty. Its afghani mates are aplenty as well. Keeping the aforementioned aforementioned occupants nippleless isn’t the easiest task in the world. The unflappable occupants are as hard as the aforementioned thugs and their ilk if you can’t be bothered to put them in lockdown mode.

3. The Lambo Body Interlude

Using an eye catching design paired with a hefty dose of imagination, The Lambo Body Interlude (aka the big kahuna) has been on my list of must sees for some time now. It is the most enlightening of all the foibles and if you are the type that likes to make your own stuff, this could be your lucky day. The best part about this gimmick is that it is all about you and not the other person in the room! If you can get past the gimmick, it is quite the delight for the whole family.

4. The Crown Of Thorns

In his closing act at the Glastonbury Festival last night, American rapper Kendrick Lamar made a bold statement in support of women’s rights. Wearing a crown of thorns, fake blood ran down his face as he repeatedly chanted “Godspeed for women’s rights,” before storming off stage.

The rapper’s performance was a response to the Supreme Court’s recent decision to upturn Roe v. Wade, which ended almost 50 years of constitutionally protected abortion rights in the US.

His rap performance drew attention for its dramatic aesthetic, combining a frenzied performance with an intensely personal theological message. At the heart of his lyrics is a contrast between the flawlessness of celebrity figures and his own flaws, in the song Saviour, on his latest album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, which is his first full-length release in five years.

The crown of thorns that he was wearing at the festival, is a custom-made piece of jewellery, designed by Kendrick’s creative collaborator Dave Free and jeweller Tiffany & Co. It contains 8000 diamonds and took 10 months to design.
