On Thursday, June 20, the iconic figure from the Bay Area expressed his gratitude for K.Dot&#8217;s amazing &#8220;Pop Out&#8221; event on Instagram.
He shared a carousel of photos alongside a caption that paid tribute to Kendrick Lamar for selecting him to narrate the show.
“From the beginning I knew @kendricklamar was gonna be special,” he wrote. “He’s always shown me the utmost love and respect, and I had to do the same when I got the call to help narrate one of the biggest nights in Hip-Hop history ‘The Pop Out.’
“After landing in Washington DC from Aspen, I rushed to the hotel to answer the call and contribute some authentic game to what I knew was going to be a monumental night for The West Coast.
“I feel honored to be considered for moments like this, as sometimes The West Coast is overlooked. But not tonight. I’m glad I was able to play my part and Sprinkle a little Game on this historical moment.”

Kendrick Lamar’s respect for E-40 goes back over a decade ago, having previously called him “the most hood/street artist” ever in a 2010 tweet.
“@E40 is the most hood/street artist of all time,” he wrote at the time. ‘I’m talkn ‘dept’. Concepts. Everything is realistic &amp; relatable.”

The pair previously collaborated on “Catch a Fade” for E-40’s The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 3 album in 2012.
E-40’s inclusion was far from the only significant moment during Kendrick Lamar’s concert.
K.Dot turned his concert into a family affair by inviting ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Ab-Soul onstage for a Black Hippy reunion.
During the show, the “Money Trees” rapper and his former Top Dawg Entertainment crew stood on stage for a rendition of ScHoolboy Q’s 2014 cut “Collard Greens.”
After running through the Oxymoron track, the Compton rapper ceded the stage to the “Man of the Year” MC, who performed 2016’s “THat Part.”
Prior to that, Kendrick Lamar welcomed Jay Rock for “Money Trees,” “Win” and “King’s Dead,” with Ab-Soul also there for “6:16 in LA.”

Kendrick Lamar receives praise from E-40 for “one of the biggest nights in Hip Hop history.”

Ariana Madix’s past interview in which she berated her castmates for choosing to “walk away” from “conflict” and said that doing so was “unfair to everybody else” drew criticism from Vanderpump Rules fans.
