And I think the energy that we bring, and the groundwork that we put forth brought us individuals like Taylour [Paige] and Jake [Schreier] to come and say, \u2018OK, this is a collective I want to be a part of and not be blocked in by the margins of what people perceive is OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The director, Jake Schreier, has previously collaborated with the likes of Kanye West and Chance The Rapper, while also directing Kendrick\u2019s cousin Baby Keem\u2018s \u201cIssues\u201d music video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u201cWe Cry Together\u201d - A Short Film (Uncensored)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eAR2V7PZiIQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The tone of \u201cWe Cry Together\u201d was inspired by Hype Williams\u2019 <em>Belly<\/em> and scenes from Quentin Tarantino <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, while the intent behind the video was to address topics that \u201cwe as a society kind of shy away from,\u201d according to Dave Free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, the main thing is, [we wanted to show] people that we can actually identify with, not only from our culture but from cultures all around the world,\u201d Kendrick Lamar added. \u201cI think we all have individuals out there that feel like they can\u2019t find an agreement \u2014 whether it\u2019s their surroundings, or whether it\u2019s their psyche that puts them in that environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the environment played a huge role, that\u2019s something we definitely wanted to bring to life along with the script. It was just as important as the individuals that were actually spewing out the insults.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The track itself was produced by The Alchemist and samples Florence + The Machine\u2019s 2018 song \u201cJune.\u201d Kendrick Lamar broke down how the lyrics, which play out as a heated argument between two lovers, were a reflection of global disharmony over the past half-decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main trigger for writing the dialogue was basically the state of the world within the last five years for me and seeing my frustrations about how nobody, and none of our cultures or belief systems, can ever come to an agreement,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, in writing that I say, \u2018OK, how can I make this feel personal but also holding up a mirror as a collective concept, rather than just a personal concept?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobile outerAdHatch\">\n<div class=\"ad-border\">\n<div class=\"innerAdHatch\">\n<div id=\"contentUnit400\" class=\"adUnits\" inserted=\"shortcode\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He added: \u201cI wanted to do that with all the emotions involved \u2026 I wanted to bring that drama, because at the end of the day, whether we like it or not, the good, bad and the ugly, the pros and cons, that\u2019s what makes everything evolve. Being able to put that in our face allows us to accept that, in order for us to evolve as humanity.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Joe Walker\">by Joe Walker<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
