The idea for"We Cry Together," according to Lamar, “started with the film first, and the music came after.”

He described the production process as exhilarating, and added that “the whole idea of the single take in this case is that it’s not to show off a camera move, or for you to notice that. If the dialogue in the film sounds different from what’s on the album, it’s because the short features Lamar and Paige performing it live, within one take. “The idea was always ‘Let’s capture this writing,’ not no song — the writing, and the film, and the texture, and the cinematography of it, in order to get the full experience out,” he said. Free added: “Music basically came in as a way to tell the tale — a thicker and longer story — in a smaller, more digestible time period.” “So then, by the time we were filming, it was really just the blocking, the rehearsal, the physicality.

REVIEW: Rapper Kendrick Lamar's Big Steppers Tour came to a head at Spark Arena in Auckland on Friday night, with Kiwis lucky enough to see the final stop.

He's joined by his openers and dancers, the whole team seeming to stare out to the crowd in amazement, every single person in the arena hyper aware of the incredible circumstances of life. As the show wraps up, fans are treated to a rarely-seen side of Lamar – he breaks away from his stage character, speaking earnestly of the gratitude he feels for the fans who have waited five years to see him again. For the majority of the show, every single person in the arena is on their feet – in the stalls, the movement and noise is so strong the wood almost seems to crack. After releasing his first album over a decade ago, Lamar has one of the greatest catalogues, not only in rap, but in music as a whole. The Los Angeles native commands the attention of the arena immediately, drawing in roars from the crowd that would make a politician drool, an especially incredible feat for an artist with only a single album to his name.
