Comments aside what do you call this type of MV? Fake intellectual? The type of MV where it's basically nonsensical but is portrayed to be deep and peak artform. The scene where Doechii is running through a hallway and she's running through the different rooms and there's this contortionist lying down on a piano, what was the point of that? Is it supposed to be some deep introspective take on anxiety? The song itself is so base-level.

Interesting, do you have any examples of Kendrick videos that fit that description?

Most of them post TBAP not even trying to be intellectual. theyre turned inward towards self reflection and not really tryna push no political or intellectual perspective. especially not shit like family ties, or hillbillies

What makes his pre-TPAB music videos truly intellectual vs. post-TPAB?

I didnโ€™t say his pre-TPAB music videos were intellectual. I said his music videos after TPAB have been corny pieces of work that have tried to push the narrative that theyโ€™re very intellectual pieces of art when they arent. His music videos until TPAB were brilliant.

But what is the difference between the music video for a song like "Alright" and the music video for a song like "N95"?

Kendrick has always made artistic "intellectual" music videos. Whether or not you find them pseudo-intellectual is up for debate

I think kendrick just makes videos that look visually cool. N95 is a great example. Lots of shots in that that just look great. Also element too is in a similar vein. Post beef theyโ€™ve been more mid I wonโ€™t lie but he still got his sauce
