Kendrick Lamar performed a medley of tracks from his seminal new album on Colbert Report last night and it was a year-defining event.

Lamar served as the final musical guest of The Colbert Report last year performing an amazing and untitled track that was shamefully never put on record. 

Colbert obviously took a shining to the MC and invited him back for a second episode of The Late show, and it was a wise decision, since K.Dot's performance was possibly the best TV appearance of the year.

Performing a medley from his seminal album, To Pimp A Butterfly, Kendrick rapped reworked and dynamic versions of 'Wesley's Theory', 'Momma', 'King Kunta' and 'U', the latter of which featured a brand new verse. Lamar was backed by a full band that consisted of Thundercat and Bilal just to name a few.

Equally huge, Kendrick has reportedly filmed a video for 'Wesley's Theory' featuring Ice Cube and George Clinton according to a post on Instagram.

Kendrick Lamar recently put on a headline sized show at Reading and Leeds (Aug 28 - 30), read our full review here.
