The visual finds Lamar standing arms folded as a woman dances along to the “When I Hear Music”-sampling beat.
Among them is a woman with her face to the wall holding a shotgun and wearing a revealing white swimsuit, a clear homage to Ice-T’s second studio album, 1988’s Power. The OG cover features Ice-T’s former partner Darlene Ortiz in a similar outfit holding the gun and standing next to Ice-T and DJ Evil E.
Some are likening this to Kanye West and his cover art for VULTURES 1. If you remember it’s Ye facing the camera while his wife Bianca Censori is practically nude facing the opposite direction. However, this is actually not correct. Instead, this is a callback to one the OGs, Ice T.
The Ice-T tweeted about the video but kept his comments to a minimum. “Respect,” he wrote above a screenshot of the video and Power cover.
