Watch Kendrick Lamar perform on SNL, joined by Sampha

Saturday Night Live Season 48 premiered last night. The musical guest was Kendrick, whose performance is as impressive and artistic as you would expect. First he did "Rich Spirit" and "N95" from his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, with Kendrick rapping in front of a blank wall, with a silhouette behind him not unlike the one he's been using during parts of The Big Steppers tour. He revealed that he was actually in "N95" and began flashing slogans on walls as he rapped.

He performed "Father Time" as his second performance. He also brought out Sampha, the song's guest. He used a bedroom set-up almost identical to the one that he uses on tour for that one. Sampha sat on a chair facing the audience and only awoke when his hook was in. Below are both performances.
