This starts with appearance. Paying homage to the late Tupac Shakur, K-Dot wore an outfit similar to the one ‘Pac wore when he performed “Out on Bail” at the 1994 Source Awards. K-Dot wears a red hat, a red hoodie, a white T-shirt and baggy jeans. The only difference is that Parker walked out wearing a Georgia jersey. Both rappers wore diamond crosses, with Kendrick’s fancy $600,000 cross made by Ben Baller.
