How do you top a music video with Don Cheadle?

You can't, if we're being honest, but that doesn't mean Kendrick Lamar's latest offering isn't fantastic.

The Compton rapper dropped the music video for his track "Element" Tuesday afternoon in a cinematically gorgeous portrait that brings the DAMN. track to life.

In the video, directed by Jonas Lindstroem and The Little Homies, Kendrick appears in a white blood-spattered tee, followed by a series of moving images depicting everything from bloody punches, bloodier faces, children, and more. It's beautiful, moving and, well, takes you out of your element.
