Kendrick Lamar's piece titled "Alright" is a six minute video that is layered with question raising imagery and rich with symbolism. The work is a black and white blend of both being hopeful and sad from time to time. As the piece starts, Lamar is seen driving a car with his friends inside but as the camera zooms out, the viewer then realizes that it wasn't what it actually looked like. Lamar wasn't actually driving the car with his friends in the back, but the car was actually being carried by white police officers. Then over the next few minutes the viewer sees Lamar flying around towns. It's as if Lamar was trying to prove a point by defying gravity and standing out from the rest of the people by doing something unimaginable. Towards the end of the video the viewer sees Lamar dancing on a streetlight, this catches the eye of another white policeman. The officer gets out of his vehicle with a rifle, but oddly he doesn’t lift it. He seems to make a imitation of a gun with his fingers and takes down Lamar by shooting a bullet with his fake gun causing Lamar to fall off the streetlight. But the video shows Lamar leaving a trail of blood in the sky, as if the officer had shot him with a real bullet. This music video is very unique to where it can have much more than just a couple of interpretations.
