Earlier this week, “Austin City Limits” shared web-exclusive clips of Kendrick Lamar performing “Wesley’s Theory” and “Hood Politics,” ahead of his debut appearance on the show. Tonight, he made his scheduled “ACL” debut. He played tracks from his latest album To Pimp a Butterfly, as well as 2012’s good kid, m.A.A.d city. Watch the full performance and check out his “ACL” setlist below. 

“ACL” was not Kendrick’s first late night appearance of the week. He was on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday night, where he debuted “Untitled 2.” Also this week, Kanye West shared a snippet of a new song with Kendrick called “No More Parties in LA.” And just today, he made a cameo in a promo for ABC’s sitcom “Black-ish.”
