One of Kendrick Lamar’s most compelling tracks from good kid m.A.A.d city is the touching story he tells on “Sing About Me.” He tells it from two different perspectives. One, from the point of view of one of his homies who’s brother got shot on the first verse, and the other from the perspective of Keisha’s younger sister (from “Keisha’s Song” on Section 80) on the second verse. Both as if they were talking to Kendrick about their story.
In this clip with MTV, he says the two stories are completely real and explains some of the thought that went into writing that particular song. All from the heart.
