KENDRICK LAMAR SHOOTS ‘KING KUNTA’ VIDEO IN COMPTON

Kendrick Lamar went back to his ‘hood to shoot a video for “King Kunta” this week. With director X at the helm, the rap god took over the Compton Fashion Center indoor swap meet and performed atop the marquee as fans looked on below. Earlier in the day, the city came out to see K-Dot film scenes in front of lowriders in a parking lot while decked out in a Patriots varsity jacket and white Reebok sneakers.

K dot filmed the #KingKunta video last night at the Compton Swap Meet. As a black man born to a woman who was raised on the Westside of #Compton, #Fruittown to be exact, this makes me proud. #rap #hiphop #LA #tpab
