Kendrick Lamar joined Prince on stage last night in Paisley Park to celebrate the release of the Purple one's two new albums ART OFFICIAL AGE and PLECTRUMELECTRUM. Watch the video below. 

As Stereogum reports, during the 90 minute Yahoo broadcast, that featured interviews with Gigwise favourites 3RDEYEGIRL, Prince performed three tracks. Lamar jumps on stage on 'What’s My Name,', a rarity from Prince’s 1998 box set Crystal Ball.

To mark the release of the album Prince also announced that he'd be holding a Q&A on Facebook. However, it took three hours before he answered the first and only question. 

"TRUTH," began Facebook user Dee J FoGee. "Greetings my dear Brother, please address the importance of ALL music being tuned to 432hz sound frequencies??? Thanks in advance!!! Warmest regards, Emanuel..."

To which, Prince politely repsonded with 'The Gold Standard', heading up a link explaining why music is better at 432hz
