Kendrick Lamar has been prominently noted for his Gnostic representations. For instance, in his music videos, he adopts symbols typically associated with Christ. In "HUMBLE," he wears a crown of thorns, a striking image drawn from the Passion of Christ. Furthermore, in the video for "All of the Stars," he positions himself as an object of worship, being carried by fans, while in "Family Ties," he claims to be the sole path to enlightenment, saying, "Before you get to the father, you got to holler at me first."
