Interview with the director of the Alright video - http://www.mtv.com/news/2201127/kendrick-lamar-alright-video-colin-tilley/

MTV: At the start of the video, we see somebody – who’s not Kendrick – getting shot by a police officer. At the end of the video, we see Kendrick, who’s been floating in the sky like a superhero, get shot by a police officer. Can you talk about what that symbol represents, to see someone who’s successful, and obviously someone who’s a hero to a lot of people, get shot at the end of the video?

Tilley: It shows that, at the end of the day, we’re all human and that nobody’s untouchable.

MTV: How difficult was it to shoot that scene in particular? And I don’t necessarily mean logistically, but more so emotionally.

Tilley: Right, of course. Whenever anyone’s life is being played with – whether it’s on camera or in real life – it’s a touchy subject. So, that’s why we chose to make it more of a fantasy and make it more like a dream – not necessarily a good dream or a bad dream. In that particular scene, it’s definitely a bad dream. So, we didn’t want to use a real gun. I felt like the police with his fingers as a gun was much more powerful.

MTV: In what sense?

Tilley: I mean, it’s kind of like, that effect pretty much was able to bring him down.

MTV: Just the wave of a finger.

Tilley: Exactly.

MTV: Then, we see Kendrick smile at the very end. It’s a somber feeling to see Kendrick – who’s obviously so beloved – fall to the ground after he’s been shot by a police officer, even if it was just [the officer’s] finger. But then he smiles. What was that symbolic of?

Tilley: Well, you know, it’s all a dream world. So, he’s really saying, “Everything is still gonna be alright.” At the end, really, when he smiled, we were all playing around with the fact that we should just have the chorus come back like, “We gon’ be alright!” But then it would have just kept going. But like I said, it’s really all about the positivity. The video starts off so dark and it just progresses and gets lighter and lighter as it goes.

That intro song was

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Perfect video.

The song is powerful enough on its own. Glad the video took the message seriously.

[airjordan jb23]

great video

that unreleased track he previewed sounds amazing.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

That info from that interview where they were discussing the intro of the video with Black Hippy in the car and how Kendrick "heard something different" for that part and then recorded the song and came back with it two days later......

I love that Kendrick is truly an artist in all aspects of his work. I really hope he releases that song!!

Kendrick Lamar Aims To Unify Gangs With His Reebok Sneaker
View media item 1617909Kendrick Lamar used his first sneaker with Reebok to help bring unity between the two biggest gangs in his hometown of Compton: the Bloods and Crips. He took the classic Ventilator model and gave them a nice off-white suede base with a blue accent on one shoe and a red accent on the other.

The theme is “neutral” and K. dot aims to spread love amongst young gang members in his community and beyond. The TDE x Reebok collabs will drop on July 18 in the States.
