Kendrick Lamar – “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” (Explicit)

“Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” may have been the most instantly iconic song on the young rap god Kendrick Lamar’s masterful 2012 album Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City, but it’s only now getting a video. The first time you see it, the clip is both beautiful and confounding — Kendrick and his associates, dressed all in white, attending a funeral that doubles as a raucous party. As it turns out, though, there’s a punchline, one I won’t give away. I laughed. You might, too. Kendrick’s Black Hippy confederates make cameos, as do Juicy J and the comedian Mike Epps.
