Cut from the critically acclaimed To Pimp A Butterfly, we have the video for “You Ain’t Gotta Lie”. Kendrick Lamar takes a pointed stance on those embracing societal norms for cool, basically reforming the cliche statement of “be yourself” into a dope track.
This video is put together by “vigilante filmmakers” aiP & Chimp:
“aiP & Chimp’s visual for Kendrick Lamar’s track entitled “You Aint Gotta Lie” from his latest album “To Pimp A Butterfly”
The video depicts a teenager losing himself to be a part of the in crowd. In the end it costs him big time.
Dir. By aiP & Chimp”
