[Watch] Kendrick Lamar Performs "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Poetic Justice" on SNL

Saturday Night Live is a proving ground for late-night television, serving as a reminder for the mainstream of who's got it and who doesn't. Kendrick Lamar proved that last night when he performed on the long-running sketch comedy show. As if his amazing studio debut good kid m.A.A.d. city didn't display his talent enough, Lamar's confident live renditions of both "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Poetic Justice" surely did. The Compton rapper went beyond that calm, collected demeanor, though, making an appearance in The Lonely Island's digital short for their Adam Levine-featuring single "Yolo". Check out all three videos below.

[Listen] Gym Class Heroes - "Stereo Hearts" Feat. Adam Levine (of Maroon 5)

Check out the first single from Gym Class' upcoming 5th album The Papercut Chronicles II titled "Stereo Hearts" which features Maroon 5 frontman/The Voice judge Adam Levine. After a couple of listens of the new tune I was left a bit disappointed as I expected a true follow up to Gym Class' classic album The Papercut Chronicles to feature nothing but live instrumentation and not over produced, radio tunes like their last two albums, As Cruel As School Children and The Quilt. "Stereo Hearts" definitely doesn't feel like much of a change from the previous 2 album's or Travie solo and is more reminescent of his last single "Billionaire" with Adam Levine taking the place of Bruno Mars.

The single is set to come out next week (Tuesday, June 14th) wherever you pick up digital music but you can check it out below courtesy of idolator.

I still have hope for the next GCH album especially after hearing this nice preview they posted on their site yesterday of an unfinished work in progress, which I can proudly say lives up to the original Papercut Chronicles album. Let's hope they don't add any extra production to the final product.
