Watch Kendrick Lamar and SZA in the video for “luther.” The rapper and singer pay tribute to Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s “If This World Were Mine” by holding their partners close. Director Karena Evans made sure to convey the feeling of two lovers so deep into each other that no one else in the world exists. Their collaboration has become the contemporary version of Nas and Lauryn Hill’s “If I Ruled The World.” Lamar’s song and a documentary that came out earlier this year have put Luther Vandross back into the spotlight 20 years after his passing. Lamar and SZA are co-headlining the Grand National Tour that kicks off this weekend (April 19) in Minneapolis.
