Kendrick Lamar performed a beautifully crafted medley of tracks from To Pimp a Butterfly on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday night, intricately stitching together renditions of "Wesley's Theory," "Momma," "King Kunta" and "u."
Both "Wesley's Theory" and "Momma" were marked by a purposefully disjointed interplay between Lamar and his band: Lines and phrases were delivered and immediately followed by sharp pauses as if each was testing the other's timing and rhythm.
