The Isaac Hayes estate is celebrating Kendrick Lamar’s “squabble up” video for its tribute to the legend dressed as Black Moses.
“Isaac Hayes as Black Moses stands as a powerful symbol of liberation, leadership, and cultural pride,” the Hayes estate wrote online. “Thank you, @kendricklamar, for honoring Isaac and his legacy, reminding the world of the everlasting power of Blackness.”
Kendrick Lamar dropped off the “squabble up” video on Monday, which featured a nod to Ice-T’s second album, Power. In case you need a Hip-Hop history lesson, the cover had a woman in a while thoung swimsuit and red heels holding a shotgun, which was also recreated in the video.
Seeing the moment, Ice-T showed love, writing “Respect!” on X. You can see the connection and the video below.
