Kendrick Lamar videography
American rapper Kendrick Lamar has appeared in 74 music videos, 17 of which he directed with his creative partner Dave Free.[a] He was featured in several documentaries, helmed three short films, and released one concert film.
For his debut studio album, Section.80 (2011), Lamar worked with directors such as Vashtie Kola to release four music videos, including visuals for "HiiiPower" and "A.D.H.D".[2] His second album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012), was supported by music videos for "Swimming Pools (Drank)", "Backseat Freestyle" (Lamar's music video directorial debut), "Poetic Justice", "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe", and "Sing About Me". He also starred in and produced a companion short film, which was directed by Khalil Joseph.[3] Lamar and Free began receiving recognition for their directorial work with Lamar's third studio album, To Pimp a Butterfly (2015).[4][5] Among its six visual components, "Alright" won Best Direction at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[6] Lamar also won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration during the ceremony for his featured appearance on singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's music video for "Bad Blood".[7] Directed by Joseph Kahn, it additionally received the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2016.[8]
Lamar's fourth studio album, Damn (2017), was supported by music videos primarily directed by Lamar, Free and Dave Meyers.[9] The video for its lead single, "Humble", won six accolades at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Direction and Video of the Year. With his victory in the latter category, Lamar became the first artist to win Video of the Year for a video they co-directed.[10] "Humble" also received the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2018.[11] Lamar and Free directed the majority of the visuals for the former's fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022).[12]
