The rapper closed his gig with a plea for womens rights.

Kendrick added: "I wear this crown.They judged Christ.They judge you, they judged Christ.

We gonna continue to walk in his image."The Alright singer was backed by dancers throughout his set, with the men echoing his own outfit of black trousers and white shirt, and the women in flowing red dresses.

Rapper AJ Tracey hailed Kendrick as one of the most important rappers of a generation.He told BBC News: "He works very hard but hes also unwavering in his message.Theres a meaning behind everything he does.

""He always stands up for black people, for impoverished people, people who are unfairly treated, and that means a lot to people," AJ Tracey added."When youre already a good rapper, its easy to be on autopilot, but when you stand for something and you push a message, thats what makes people love you."dc/kr #Kendrick #Lamar #Glastonbury #permance #Godspeed #womens #Los Angeles .
