Kendrick Lamar’s music video for “squabble up,” released on November 25, 2024, showcases his deep connection to Compton and West Coast culture.
Directed by Calmatic, the video features vibrant scenes in a nearly empty ballroom where dancers celebrate through various styles, including Crip-walking.
Notable visuals include a giant Nate Dogg CD and an old Buick GNX bouncing on hydraulics, symbolizing the album’s title, GNX.
Lamar’s playful elements, like reading from How To Be Like Kendrick For Dummies and a sign stating “Jesus Saves Gangsters Too,” add layers of cultural commentary and humor.
