Kendrick Lamar Takes Aim at Discrimination in New "Alright" Video

FUSE TV - Kendrick Lamar Takes Aim at Discrimination in New "Alright" Video

On Kendrick Lamar's "Alright"—a standout cut on his wonderful To Pimp a Butterfly album—the rapper details post-depression moments along with his disdain for the po-po. The accompanying, cinematic video is a dramatic, black-and-white visual that makes a few pointed statements against discrimination.

Watch above as the MC drops bars while riding with his crew that includes ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock—at one point flipping the script, having four white cops carry their car thorough the street. There are other pointed statements towards the police like when three young dancers break it down on top of a cop car or when Kendrick himself is struck down from a light pole by a cop where, despite him falling and hitting the ground, he's still got a smile on his face.
