[@rm3diasports710]

In the video: • The hopscotch scene: You got that-A minor reference and the child’s game. • The piñata: Another child’s game, and no Ovho’s were harmed. • He did 17 pushups, referencing his 17 Grammys and the PDF allegations. • In the room with speakers and the picture turned backwards: A jab at Drake’s “I know my picture on the wall when y’all cook up.” • The container scene: When he says “Devil is a lie, he a 69 God,” he’s dapping up Dave Free to call out Drake on the Dave Free baby allegations. Plus, Melyssa’s take on the containers I believe was spot on. • Yall got the significance of 4th of July. •. Whitney in a wife beater, addressing the DV allegations. • At the end, Kdot in all white, waving to Drake (who was at an all-white party when the video dropped). Lastly, the owl in the cage bowing to Kendrick: He put him back in the cage, referencing “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou-Kendrick likes Drake with the melodies. That’s all the stuff I caught. Hope this helps!

Drake borrows/steals from the culture to make a check. Cole is bi-racial but not a single person questions his place or his representation. Eminem is one of Kendrick's fav rappers.

[@RonnellBrown-sd3ku]

The video was a trial of Drake. It started outside Compton Courthouse. Kenny and 11 others were the jury (sitting in the room… the courthouse basically). The knock at the door was a sign from an old song “shave and a haircut”. It was used when slaves would have dance contests. That’s the point of the dancing. At the end, Drake was imprisoned for his crimes against Black culture (owl in the cage). When it shows the crowds, that’s the “people” celebrating the “verdict”. Mellow Tonin’ Music - go look it up.

I hate that Joe Budden didn't make money in hip hop because his catalog is impeccable. One of my top fives, and he quit rap for real. I know he found the bag was in podcasting Because no one really knows about his catalog. When I tell people Joe Budden is in my top 5 I got to start explaining **** And I tell them let me guess you never actually heard a Joe Budden album and I'm usually right. His last three songs going in on Drake are crazy, but Kendrick is a different type of beast I can't stop Rocking with it they not like us! Wap wap wap i'ma do my stuff

The jacket says S/S for Spring/Summer, not 8/8. and it’s by Martine Rose (if I recall correctly)

[@dulcieo6250]

Exactly! So much misinformation about it going around 😅

[@Bbyluv702]

8/8 Emancipation Day. The first recorded celebration of the Eighth of August as Emancipation Day was in Greeneville, Tennessee in 1871.

[@ArmLegLegArmHead47]

Album on 8/8 will go crazy

[@Amaterasu_Rivers]

By farrrr my favorite Kendrick music video since King Kunta

[@btoneymmc]

When Noe said “ go to Michael Rubin party” I just busted out laughing

[@dudettevlogs4257]

I hope Kendrick seats down with Joe Budden when he does a media run. I need Joe to document a big hip hop moment.. he deserves it and artists should give him a chance.

[@EmmaEffa]

If Joe can get his misogynistic undertones under control, yeah.

[@KXNGBIRD]

Kendrick pop out concert and music video was some of the greatest moments to be apart of in our current era of hip hop

[@simplefit7647]

Kendrick was dancing in the hopscotch squares because it's a kids game. (A Minoorrrrr)

[@NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

Also why does nobody mention how Kendrick almost never looked indirectly at the camera? Like he was always looking off into the distance or looking to the side

[@TheLillink]

2:33 Mel ok I hear you

[@Pratapana]

I wanna see yall do this with all media. Including movies. Y’all dissecting stuff is fascinating like what’s it like when you all link to see a movie or step out your comfort zone and watch an anime as you discuss. Like what is that shit like. I can only imagine the conversations.

[@rahul2283]

Drake should retire now

[@TechJay86]

Ty exactly it’s done!!!

[@thirtythird985]

His music sound different now fasho. Kendrick did drake dirtier than pusha did. I never expected that tbh

[@GH-vz3wd]

Yall lame asl..retire!!!!?? He'll be fine in a couple of months yall so ready to get rid of him 😂😂

[@MrJayfreeable]

Realistically, before this beef even started he should have Took a 2-3 years off.

[@keyshawnstewart1920]

Nah bro Drizzy still a legend bro Dot won this all the way but we want that 2009 drake dem fire verses 😂😂

[@LILWILANDFRIENDS]

Walkin’ is the culture of cali. Babies come out the wound c and B walkin

[@TheTopStarz]

Undisputed winner is Kendrick !! there's no questioning that! and I loved all his diss tracks but am i wrong for hoping there's no remix, even though I know it'd fire, I just want the battle to end as 1v1 and not feel like more people jumped on to diss... 🤔🤔 maybe... unless it's Future, Asap Rocky, Rick Ross and any other rapper that got dissed by Drake

[@mkinfinity2424]

Joe. It gives a lot of Creators CONTENT and makes the people money. Having intricate things to find is perfect for todays media. The more, the better.

[@da9564]

I think ppl are overlooking the importance of the family part n the song playing. It was a complete full circle of him saying drake is a master manipulator n how he played right into kendricks hands. Like he knew it would play out like this n everything was prepared n well process thought. N the owls head looking coward n scared. Truly a masterpiece. Most ppl doing reviews didnt even see dave free in the video.

[@CocoQTpie4u]

The way Kendrick uses symbolisms and metaphors in this video is him flexing his intellectual capabilities on that ass.

[@mical2great]

Maybe because im from LA and been to alot of parties growing up where tommy the clown showed up but Mel sayin them havin their faces painted white as symbolism when its just the Tommy the clown dancers uniform is hilarious to me😂😂😂

[@maiyapaiya]

She meant the containers painted white

[@Nico-yr8gp]

Yo that snippet had the Look Out Weekend - Debbie Deb sample…hella creative…never would have thought.

[@jasonbt1]

The sybolism in Kendricks video is crazy. 🎯💯

[@Deezy415]

You gotta look into the door knock at the beginning.. “shave and a haircut.. two bits” and the origin of the “cakewalk” 🔥🔥🔥

[@jessbracken8943]

Euphoria,,,, predicted this ALL, mite be the hardest of the lot

[@digi_beatz]

What I love about the "FAMILY MATTERS" scene is that Drake is a baby daddy, Kendrick is a Father.

[@chosenelite762]

Ish too OVO for me 😂 dude looking like a can of morton's salt while they talk about kendrick

[@litzf02]

Melissa, your insight was great. Saw the boys quite down

[@Ieshagd23]

Not Canada Day anymore ! For my family at least , it’s indigenous day 🧡

[@justgoddessesonly]

The engagement and vibe was about him and his ppl's in Compton. He made this video spending time with them, not really thinking about what everybody else wants. It's the same energy as Dre's Nuthin' But A G Thang video.

[@boppinboyz]

@0:23 Unc getting old . Lol he needs a tutorial 😂😂

[@WavyKid13]

Y'all aren't also tying in that "Compton State of Mind" Music Video (one of Kendrick's first MV's) was shot right at the Compton Court House, where this video's thumbnail and where it started/ended, tying it all together for an even bigger victory lap ("My pep talk turn into a pep rally")

[@MandosCulture]

Mel thinks all west coast dances = Crip Walk 😂😂😂

[@khalilarashid]

The HBCU bands are what's next (during football season)

[@bomaye312]

2:33 - 2:54 the vibe of that whole lil sequence was HILARIOUS😂😂

[@TheRealLLC]

It’s crazy how no one really talks about Whitney in a BEATER dancing… that’s the BIGGEST W 🤣

[@bluewave3417]

I took the containers differently. If you’re from LA those containers are everywhere. Specifically when you go over the bridge that faces both the ports of Long Beach and LA you see massive ships bringing thousands of those containers in at a time. I don’t think it’s represents exports (what’s going out). It represents imports (what’s coming in). Those containers bring in all the cheap Chinese made junk that we buy in this country. Maybe what Dot is saying is Hip Hop was given away and now we’re importing a junk, watered down version of it back.

[@spencerbishop8724]

Ish is such a sucka 😂! Ish Drake is never going to let you around him man damn, it’s ok 😂
