On Thursday, Kendrick Lamar dropped a new song and video without any warning.
The song, “Humble,” is anything but.
Lamar starts out the video standing in a holy beam of light and wearing papal garb and at one point reenacts the famous painting of “The Last Supper,” starring himself in the role of Jesus Christ.
The video also sees an imagery of nooses on fires–a possible commentary on race and social justice.
This is the second track that Lamar has dropped recently, after “The Heart Part 4,” which seemed to suggest that something big is coming April 7. Many fans have speculated that means Lamar is going to drop an album on that date, and this latest song and video seem to jive with that conclusion.
