Kendrick Lamar shared a music video for his new song The Heart Part 5 on Sunday. The five-minute-long clip showcased the entertainer rapping in a white t-shirt as his face morphed into Kanye West, Will Smith, OJ Simpson, and more.
The Los Angeles-raised rapper, 34, surprised fans with the fresh music, which he teased with a post that read, ‘I am. All of us.’ Eventually, his face becomes Will’s as he raps this … “In the land where hurt people hurt more people // F*** callin’ it culture.” Of course, he’s addressing the Oscars slap there.
There are two other stars he morphs into … the late Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle. In both instances, he’s referring to death and reflecting on the legacy he leaves behind … praying it’s a worthy one.

The Nipsey line is especially telling … Kendrick raps, “To my brother, to my kids, I’m in Heaven // To my mother, to my sis, I’m in Heaven// To my father, to my wife, I am serious, this is Heaven” … going on to say he forgives the killer who sped up his demise.
In this instance, he appears to be rapping as Nipsey … and addressing Nipsey’s alleged murderer, Eric Holder. Lots of food for thought in this one — K.Dot’s new album drops Friday.
