"Poetic Justice" is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, from his major-label debut studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012).
[1] In an interview, DeVille recalled several artists wanting the song, including American rapper 50 Cent, before he ended up giving it to Lamar.
The video features cameo appearances by Lamar's fellow West Coast rappers Jay Rock, YG and Glasses Malone.
[8] While one source has identified "Poetic Justice" as a "false empowerment anthem" for East African girls due to a line in Drake's feature,[9] Lamar has stated in an interview how aesthetic choices for the music video's production involved recognizing the "diversity of beauty" in casting.
[10] A freestyle over the song's instrumental was recorded and released by American rappers Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip on December 21, 2012, where the two pay homage to Janet Jackson.
