In an MTV News interview, Lamar explained that the text was meant as a criticism of lyrical promotion of the drug MDMA-popularly known as "Molly"-in hip hop music, saying: "When everybody consciously now uses this term or this phrase and putting it in lyrics, it waters the culture down. The video ends with a hard cutoff of the string ensemble to a black screen with white text reading "Death to Molly". American comedian Mike Epps makes appearances throughout the video. The same day, the director's cut of the video was released, featuring cameo appearances from Juicy J and Jay Rock and a bonus clip of a song by Schoolboy Q, titled " Man of the Year". The music video for "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe", directed by The Lil Homie and OG Mike Mihail, was released on May 13, 2013. Lamar has performed "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" at every show on the Damn tour. Further, a Lady Gaga solo version of their song "Partynauseous" was part of Gaga's ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour, but the audio was never officially released. Lamar expressed his surprise and approval of her releasing the song, as he felt it showed confidence in their work together. On November 8, 2012, Lady Gaga released the original version of the song featuring her vocals, in which she performs the chorus and a verse. I'm not really too tight about it because I know we have something special." That's just the business side coming through and messing things up. We had a date, but we had to meet the deadline for the pre-order date.
None of Gaga's contributions were ultimately featured on the album due to timing issues and creative differences, with Lamar stating: Eight days later, she announced that the song would no longer be released on the announced date and apologized to fans for the delay. On August 15, 2012, Gaga announced that she had collaborated with Lamar on another song recorded for Good Kid, M.A.A.D City entitled "Partynauseous", and that it would be released on September 6. Recorded for Lamar's second studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012), "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" originally featured vocals from American pop musician Lady Gaga. "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" peaked at number 32 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, also reaching the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. The song's music video, directed by The Lil Homie and OG Mike Mihail, notably ends with an abrupt cut to a black title screen reading "Death to Molly", intended to be a criticism by Lamar of glorification of the drug MDMA in contemporary hip hop music. A remix of "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" featuring American rapper Jay-Z was sent to radio as the album's fifth single on March 21, 2013, with the original version and another remix featuring British singer Emeli Sandé later being released. It was originally intended to be a collaboration with American singer Lady Gaga, but her contributions were ultimately excluded from the final recording due to timing issues. The song, produced by frequent collaborator Sounwave of Top Dawg Entertainment in-house production team Digi+Phonics, heavily samples "Tiden Flyver", by Danish electronic group Boom Clap Bachelors. " Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" ( edited for radio as " Trick, Don't Kill My Vibe" or simply " Don't Kill My Vibe"), is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, from his major-label debut studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012).
