For the past few months, we've all had some fun talking about Taylor Swift. Implying she was a lonely Confederate ghost stalking teenagers while waiting for her husband to return from The War; suggesting she was raised by chickens with country manners; alluding to the fact that through Taylor Swift's eyes, the world is a Lisa Frank-style Technicolor dreamscape where growing up means driving to the store to pick up your own candy for dinner.

Billed on its cover as "A Short Film by Kendrick Lamar," it's actually a feature-length narrative through his youth in Compton.
