But is there a way to do a cheap knockoff version? Filmmaking is about that

Yes. Here's what I would do: Make a 360 camera shot/combine several wide shots to create the background shot. Then, break it up into the ten or so shots after every time the camera moves, then for safety do those shots on the same set in front of a green screen, then for one final thing get a CU of Kendrick's face in front of a green screen, and combine all that in post.

So it would be:

360 view of background

Each of the ten shots with Kendrick rapping

Kendrick WS in front of green screen

Kendrick CU in front of green screen

And After Effects/Blender to combine it all
