Kendrick Lamar: Alright
Titled Behind The Walls, the video is labeled as a black comedy. It tells the story of a burly black man, played by Corey Holcomb who ends up in jail after a wild night out with Kendrick. The man recounts his tale to three other prisoners who express their skepticism that this man could have spent the night three women and two bottles deep with Kendrick.
The video starts out with Kendrick Lamar in some run down motel filled with some guys gambling, drinking and hitting on a multitude of strippers that outnumber the guys at least 4 to 1. Kendrick has some chick twerking on him for quite a while as two other girls film it. Eventually he links up with Terry Crews to go and “get their money,” but end up crashing a talent show and the pair do a hilarious “Hit The Quan” dance.
The story continues as Holcomb recounts how he ends up at the party, driving clearly drunk and love taps two cops sitting out front. This awakes them from their apparent slumber to head into the party and arrest Holcomb, while leaving everything else as is.
The partying continues as Holcomb is back in jail and tries to call Kendrick in a final scene. The video is “to be continued” so expect the story to forge on with kingpin Kendrick. The visuals was directed by Colin Tilley once again who did the "Alright" video.
“These Walls” appears on Kendrick Lamar’s seminal album To Pimp A Butterfly. It has features from Bilal, Thundercat and Anna Wise.
