K-Dot the collabo king.
Kendrick Lamar’s latest music video for his track “ELEMENT.” released last week and it supplemented Kendrick’s lyrics with some emotional scenes of life and brutality.

Since its release, the internet has recognized that the video pays tribute to the photography of Gordon Parks from the 1940s.
