Fans of Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City know that "Backseat Freestyle" is a vicious highlight of the album—a boastful banger that seems incongruous with the rest of the more thoughtful tracks until you realize that it's supposed to be teenage Kendrick bragging about his conquests to his friends. This is a track that seemingly every reviewer has highlighted (mainly because of the line "pray my dick gets big like the Eiffel Tower.")
It's also the first track that has a video. Set in Compton and Paris, and directed by Kendrick himself (with a little help from JeromeD and Dave Free), it features black and white visuals, Kendrick's dad giving that priceless monologue about Domino's, and album character Sherrane shaking her ass for waaay longer than your typical run-of-the-mill rap video ass jiggle. It's pretty damn impressive actually. A real workout.
