Headliner Kendrick Lamar basically body-slammed the Sasquatch Music Festival this past Memorial Day weekend, in the best possible way, rapping hard in eastern Washington's beautiful Columbia River Gorge. He looked great in a Canadian tuxedo and rocked a crowd the size of a small city.

The setlist was hit after heavy hit from the Compton, CA, emcee extraordinaire. But we're beefing over here because he didn't perform "Complexion," our favorite track off his 2015 opus To Pimp a Butterfly.

Read more about "Complexion," which features the rapper Rapsody and pianist Robert Glasper, in our interview with Glasper.

We told you it was beautiful.
