With a savvy a flow and solid beats, Aftermath star Kendrick Lamar has emerged as one of Rap’s most exciting prospects. And while many before him have been crowned with such status, few have been able to sustain it.
However, if the video for the 25 year old’s latest release ‘Poetic Justice (ft. Drake)’ is anything to go by, the Compton native has little to worry about.
For, the cinematic clip is – like Lamar’s rise – an engaging watch. What’s more, anything that samples Janet Jackson‘s classic Slow Jam ‘Anytime, Anyplace’ is right with us.
Check it out after the jump…
Lamar’s critically hailed debut ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ is in stores now.

one of the weaker tracks on the album.
This would sound SO MUCH better and classier without the cliche “if you a bad bitch put yo hands up high” at the start.
