When Kendrick Lamar was announced as the musical guest for tonight's episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, it was presumed that he would probably run through a cut from the still white-hot To Pimp a Butterfly, until Roots drummer Questlove let slip on Twitter that the song being performed was brand new. Below is video of Kendrick Lamar ripping through the as-yet-unreleased "Untitled 2," a blazing display of the Compton rapper's wit, depth, and technical excellence, backed by the Roots. He's like a man possessed. It's fucking bonkers.
UPDATE: The backing band is the one from Kendrick's Kunta's Groove tour, not the Roots.
UPDATE 2: Kendrick Lamar also sat down with Jimmy Fallon for an interview, in which they discussed his Grammy nominations—a record for a rapper and one shy of Michael Jackson's record of 12—and the fan-made "Swimming Pools" and Mario Kart mashup track Lamario Kart. Noisey.vice,youtube
