It's no secret that live performances from Kendrick Lamar occur few and far in-between.

As Kendrick has offered an array of stellar performances over the years, ranging from selections alongside the TDE crew to joining Erykah Badu on stage at the BET Awards, XXL thought 'why not craft up a list of some of his most memorable performances?' Check out the list of favorites below.
