Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

“Swimming Pools (Drank)” is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kendrick Lamar, released on July 31, 2012 as the second single and lead single from his debut studio album good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012). The song, produced by T-Minus, was mixed by Dr. Dre and TDE’s Ali.

A remix featuring his Black Hippy cohorts - Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q - was included as a bonus track on the Spotify Deluxe edition of the album.

Music video

The music video premiered August 3, 2012 on 106 & Park. A review by the magazine Rolling Stone shared a summary of the video stating: “In his new video for “Swimming Pools (Drank),” Kendrick Lamar defies gravity, floating and tumbling in suspended space as liquor bottles fly upwards and smash into the ceiling. The rapper gets introspective on a woozy beat, considering the highs and lows of alcohol consumption and the sense of confidence it bestows the drinker. Lamar spends most of the video rapping alone, but color-filtered shots of a booze-soaked rager poke through the more contemplative scenes.”
