This video covers Kendrick Lamar's very complex song entitled "Reincarnated" off of Kendrick's GNX album. Kendrick gave us a wide array of fire tracks but this song may go overlooked although this can be considered one Kendrick Lamar's most creative songs. It's deep, and thought provoking. He uses 2pac's sample, spirit and cadence as he raps but puts together a complex story, a woven tapestry of trauma, tragedy and enlightenment all told through his sub-conscious thoughts through hypnosis.
