Kendrick Lamar ft. Future – Mask Off (Kendrick Lamar Remix)

Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, known professionally as Future, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer

After bringing Future out to perform “Mask Off” at Coachella, Kendrick Lamar jumps on the flute-filled banger’s remix.

While Pluto’s first verse remains intact, Kung Fu Kenny comes out kickin’ on the second verse. “Platinum, platinum, platinum,” he raps. “Gotta look at self and ask what happened / How y’all let a conscious ni**a go commercial, while only makin’ conscious albums?”

Wide-ranging and free-flowing, the verse contains religious references (“I got a halo / I level up every time God say so”) and slights to doubters (“Everybody who didn’t pay respect / Gotta fess up now and pay your debt”). It even has a tribute to Prince followed by a “Mask Off” call to action.

“She said she broke down when Prince died,” he raps. “It’s alright / Bitch my hair down, Prince live through me / I am Prince / Get your ass up and be inspired / You know how many bodies in the street? Take the mask off so you can see.”
