Probably my favorite song on the album. Beautifully shot, but boring video. Not sure if I need to see it again.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
K Dot got the best videos in it :wow:
YES!!

when "old heads" talk about how all these videos shytty and look the same... this is the difference that we talking about. it's ok to have a video with some artistic vision in it. quit with the money stacks, ig hoes, your nikkas looking tough with big guns, and the fly cars

make something that sets you apart.. sonically and visually

Still don't see what is the big deal about this dude. A lot of his songs and beats sound similar. Never heard a Compton cat sound like him.:patrice: Reminds of them Souls of Mischief nikkas back in the day. They were from Cali, but was wack.

Yes I called them one hit wonders wack. Part of the reason that song popped off cuz everybody thought they were from NY.

Even some cali cats thought they were from NY. LOL

It's an artistic video but this would have been a perfect time to go "really abstract" and re-frame the nikka word into something more universal than just the literal meaning of slapping a p*ssy ass "nikka". Since everybody says the word from little mexicans to HBO talk show hosts why not show nikkas of all sizes shapes and colors gettin smacced up?

I feel like he missed a golden opportunity to get people really talking again like he did with the Humble video.:patrice:

Just my two cents. :manny:

It's recreating a lot of pictures that Gordon Parks made back in the day. He was a photographer that took beautiful pictures of black people, including gritty scenes that echo images that are in the video. I think Kendrick is presenting himself as a rap analog to go.
