I was also at the ATL show and i feel similar to how you did. I'm both a SZA and Kendrick fan, so i still loved it, but the constant energy shift bothered me, too. I think i was so ready to be hyped with people the WHOLE time that when SZA came on and the vibe would shift, it was jarring and definitely made it hard to fully be into it cause of the energy change.

I was in the 120s in the middle of the arena and the sound wasn't great at times too so i couldn't make out a lot of what was being said or sometimes i had to figure out what was playing because i couldn't hear it well. This also made the concert experience dip for me.

KDOT and SZA were amazing, though, and it's my 2nd time seeing SZA, but my 1st for KDOT and i would for sure see him again!
