Watch Kendrick And The Rest Of TDE Hilariously Train For A Championship

The members of Top Dawg Entertainment are in training mode. While the NBA playoffs are underway Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, SiR and Lance Skiiiwalker are getting willing to chase a ring on The Championship Tour. In support of their next national excursion, the hip-hop label has released a training video directed by TDE president Dave Free and Jack Begert.


The various members of Top Dawg Entertainment can be seen during the video attempting to get into shape. Kendrick and Jay Rock's sport of choice is tennis. Schoolboy Q plays golf as SZA wanders around in the woods. It is a surreal adventure that proves the music collective is better served filling arenas, alternatively opposed to chasing careers in sports.


In a February interview with GQ, SZA described the real challenge of attempting to acclimate her body to the rigors of touring relentlessly.


as soon as I first began touring, initial for Jhené Aiko, I was really tired," SZA mentioned. "I was throwing up and I had pneumonia. My body just wasn’t used to working. Although then, the second tour, I ended up losing a gang of weight because I really think the lifestyle of moving, moving, moving really distracted me from consuming food. And I tend to eat as soon as I’m just bored or have shit on my mind. This time it was just like a whole new level of conditioning. I was like, No, you’re the headliner. You must give more energy in your show. So you can’t be tired and cranky. While I first began, I was really fucking cranky. That shit was hard."


Hopefully, each member of TDE is in fighting shape before their first show in May.
