The single “B_ch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” also serves as sort of an introduction and is more about the state of hip-hop. A picture of this van is also featured on the deluxe version of the record. The skit after “Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter’s Daughter” has Kendrick’s mother and father wanting him to bring her van back to the house. They’re what pull the story completely together. The skits following the songs are concise but actually feature Kendrick’s friends and mother and father. It’s filled with fits and starts, twists and turns. K-Dot, is meeting with a girl named “Sherane” and much like in a Tarantino film, the story doesn’t exactly follow one thread. In this song, you step into the mindset of Lamar’s persona, K Dot, who’s the protagonist of the story. They don’t necessarily push the story forward but they create the world that you’re about to step into. Picture the beginning of Reservoir Dogs and the now infamous Madonna and “No Tipping” monologues. The first track, “Sherane aka Master Splinter’s Daughter” isn’t really the beginning of the story but rather sets the stage.
