Possible Kendrick Lamar & Shia LaBeouf Collaboration coming soon?

It looks like Shia LaBeouf may be back to directing music videos as Kendrick Lamar recently revealed to Fuse that the two have had a meeting.

We actually had a meeting… Shia LaBeouf, he has a crazier career than mine, but once we really do sit down and lock in, it’s gonna be insane… He wanted to do a video, he had a few ideas… that was the time I was recording the album and going on the road so I couldn’t really sit down for a period of time.

Since the interview, the above photo of Kendrick and Shia has surfaced via Instagram, showing that this just may be happening sooner rather than later.
