The video directed by Jonas Lindstroem and The Little Homies (aka Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free), contains powerful imagery and references the work of photojournalist, writer, musician, and director Gordon Parks.
Parks use to give photo essays to LIFE magazine from the 1940s to the 1970s and is known as the creator of the "blaxploitation" film genre and the director of 1971's Shaft. Gordon Parks Foundation made a public statement about the video.
“The Gordon Parks Foundation is pleased to see Kendrick Lamar recognize Gordon Parks’ important photography while working at life magazine and honoring his legacy,” Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr., the Executive Director of the Gordon Parks Foundation, said. “The Gordon Parks Foundation uses Gordon’s creative work to educate and inspire young artists.”
