If you wanted to see Kendrick Lamar play his first live show since the release of To Pimp A Butterfly, you had to run to catch it. Literally. Last night, Kendrick tweeted a location in L.A. and said to meet him there. When people got there, they were greeted with the sight of Kendrick, with his band, on the back of a Reebok-sponsored flatbed truck. (Kendrick did a commercial for the shoe company last year.) As he performed, the truck drove slowly, and fans ran for 5K to keep up with him. Reebok's cameras filmed the whole thing, naturally. Ab-Soul guested. Check out some video evidence below.

According to Twitter reports, L.A. cops shut the show down shortly after Kendrick said, "Fuck the police."
