Kendrick Lamar Makes Surprise Speech at 2024 Compton College Graduation: ‘There’s No Place Like This One Right Here’


Kendrick Lamar made an inspiring, surprise speech at the 2024 Compton College graduation, telling students that their degree is something special.

Making his way to stage to a censored version of “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” a smiling Lamar stopped to take a few pics and dole out handshakes and hugs as he took out his own phone to grab a video of the happy scene. Wearing glasses, a purple ball cap and a black suit with a white t-shirt, the hometown MC told the graduates that he still believes in everything that the community is doing, but that it’s time to change the narrative. Lamar will be back on stage in Los Angeles on June 19 as the hots of The Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert at the Kia Forum for a special gig that will be streamed live on Prime Video.
