This is easily the most anticipated music video of the year.

Kendrick Lamar is on a high right now following his "Pop Out" show in Inglewood, California. Overall, it is clear that he is the biggest artist in hip-hop right now. Everyone was tuned in a couple of nights ago, and the show is still at the top of everyone's mind. Of course, many are still in awe of how Kendrick played "Not Like Us" five times in a row. It was an incredible celebration of West Coast hip-hop, and it seems like Kendrick is nowhere close to being done.

According to TMZ, Kendrick is filming a music video throughout Compton this weekend. In fact, to prepare for the occasion, he has enlisted the help of the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. The department will be sending some Sheriff's Deputies to help beef up the security. Overall, it's a necessary step to take considering Kendrick is in the midst of a beef right now. Law enforcement has had no indications that things could get out of hand, although their hiring serves as a precaution.
