Makes sense that Kendrick Lamar would sample Janet Jackson on his critically acclaimed debut. During his formative years in the 1990s, Janet's reign and influence were inescapable, so as the Compton MC readies his next good kid, m.A.A.d city single, the Drake-assisted "Poetic Justice" seems like a no-brainer.

Kendrick Lamar Asks Janet Jackson To Be In 'Poetic Justice' Video
The track borrows its title from Janet's 1993 film and lifts a vocal sampling from her hit record "Any Time, Any Place" from the same year. For the song's video, K-Dot figures that once he and Drizzy work out their schedules, getting the OVO MC on set will be no problem, but if Kendrick has his way he'll also have a cameo for Ms. Jackson as well. "That'll be a blessing," he told MTV News on Friday just moments before he took the stage to headline at Power 106's annual Cali Christmas concert.

Lamar even went as far to make a personal pitch to the icon, hoping to eliminate the difficult process that often comes with working with a star of Jackson's stature. "Janet, c'mon, Janet. No paperwork with the managers, contact the managers. This is artist to artist," he pleaded. "This is a young boy that looked up to you for years. Please, yeah, video, Janet Jackson 'Poetic Justice.' It'll only be right."

That's not the only visual element Kendrick has planned. Part of good kid's appeal are the cinematic skits that piece the album's music together, so to play off of the album's strengths the TDE crew are working on a film that will complement the LP as well. "We actually started the visuals for this whole project," he said. "I called it a short film before I even started the actual foundation of the music."




I hope she does it cause it could most def push Kendrick to Platinum

Lab Baby

Sheeeit, it's not like she's doing anything else at the moment. She can blow off whatever Tyler Perry movie she's filming right now to do this. And a possible remix.

CrookedLetter

That would be a good look for them both, like how Nas got Aaron Hall for Bye Baby

J-Breezy

They will probably make Kendrick take an hiv test first but after that it should be all good lol

All I have to say is that Kendrick needs Janet, Janet needs Kendrick. It's been ages since she had a hit.

Rick Ross fans never win

I hope she does it. If her paperwork matched up I'm sure she got some of the bread for the sample and/or ok'd the usage.

It would def combat that diva rep she has.

32DaysOfInfiniti

I dont know, their verses might not be pop enough for Janet, they'd have to do a serious remix

Its also one of the weaker songs on the album, so...

south4life

Her Boyfriend ain't gonna let her do shit, dude got Janet on lock got her wearing the garments Muslim women wear now, that's why she ain't been doing shit, he running her ass.
