Kendrick Lamar is a man with many faces, including some very famous ones, which he presents in his new music video … focusing on the most scandalous moments of the last few years.
KL released a song on Sunday called “The Heart Part 5”, where he talks about culture at lightning speed, reviewing various scenarios and using celebrity nicknames to express his opinion – including Will Smith, Kanye West and Jesse Smolet.
That’s right … the video shows Kendrick’s face changing towards all these men at different points in the song, using some fantastic technology that we think you could equate to a deep forgery.
He also briefly introduces OJ Simpson as he mentions the “armored rover,” seemingly referring to the Ford Bronco from time immemorial. He then turns to Ye’s face, mentioning “bipolar friends,” and finally to Jussie when he says, “The streets fucked me.”

In the end, his face becomes like Will’s as he raps this … “In a country where injured people hurt more people // F *** callin ‘it culture.” Of course, he turns to the Oscars slap there.
There are two other stars in which he becomes … the late Kobe Bryant and Nipsy Hassel. In both cases, he means death and reflects on the legacy he leaves behind … praying that it is worthy.
We are waiting for your permission to load Instagram Media.
Nipsey’s line is particularly telling … Kendrick raps: “For my brother, for my children, I’m in heaven // For my mother, for my sister, I’m in heaven // For my father, for my wife, serious I am, this is paradise “… he continues to say that he forgives the killer who hastened his death.
In this case, he looks like a rapper like Nipsie … and turns to Nipsy’s alleged killer, Eric Holder. Lots of food for thought in this – K.Dot’s new album comes out on Friday.
