Kendrick Lamar's Epic VMAs Performance Was Pure Flames -- No, Seriously

Kendrick Lamar opened the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards and his performance was flames... no, we're dead serious. 

Kung Fu Kenny kicked things off by first rapping one of his many hits from DAMN., "DNA." Though all of the songs on his latest album are hot, "DNA." is one of the standout tracks that every last one of Lamar's fans fell in love with from the first time they listened to it. 

After that, the Cali MC went into his other classic hit "HUMBLE." MTV made a great decision to call on Lamar to open the show because as soon as he began performing, every single person in the audience instantly woke up and started to vibe with excitement during his set. After all, K. Dot on any stage always makes for an epic experience. The artist wanted to put on a hot show and he did just that. 

There was fire being blasted from the stage and Lamar even had a fire dancer, while he was rapping! To continue with his Kung Fu Kenny persona, there were dancers who performed martial arts moves as part of their choreography. These dancing ninjas were even climbing a fire-filled wall onstage. That's what we call a lit show!

If this performance doesn't have K. Dot's haters sit down, be humble and respect his gangsta, nothing else will. Shoutout to Lamar for starting the VMAs on the right kung fu-kicking foot. He did that.
