#Simbolism in alright by kendrick lamar full#
He’s like, ' That’s it.'"Ĭheck out the full episode of Spotify's The Big Hit Show below. And what does 'We are gonna be alright' represent? I'm glad that sparked the idea 'cause that song coulda went a thousand other ways… I remember hitting P on a text like, 'Man, I got the lyrics.' And typing the lyrics to him. “P had the 'alright.' That’s him on the hook. I mean, the beat sounds fun, but there’s something else inside of them chords that Pharrell put down that feels like - it can be more of a statement rather than a tune." "I knew it was a great record, I just was trying to find the space to approach it. This is finally it," Sounwave went on, adding that he was sitting on the song for "about six months." And I just remember him, his eyes lit up. He flies around, raps atop a traffic light, and ultimately, smiles as he meets his end. We came out, I said, 'I think we got something.' We played it for Kendrick. On Tuesday, Kendrick Lamar shared the black and white video for 'Alright'. "And I just remember about three hours, just me and Terrace locked in that room. "I literally have to go back in, last second of the album, like literally at the crunch time, I think we had one more day, and added drums to it."
"We loved that record so much that I said, ‘Ok, I’m not letting this record die,'" the 36-year-old told Spotify. Luckily, Sounwave was determined to make it work with the help of saxophonist Terrace Martin. While he may have fallen in love with the beat, Lamar felt that the heavy jazz and funk influences of To Pimp a Butterfly didn't vibe with Pharrell's bouncy production, and was tempted to disregard it.
And I immediately run, I was like, 'Dot, you have to come hear this.' He plays it for Dot, Dot stopped everything he was doing and starts to write to 'Alright.'" "It was literally just the 808s and the keys, and Pharrell had the melody of 'We gon' be alright.' And I was like, 'Bro, what is this?' Oh my goodness, I’m freaking out. "He plays me the skeleton of 'Alright' and I just remember my jaw drop," Sounwave shared.
