Kendrick Lamar drops ‘Not Like Us’ music video amid Drake feud

Kendrick Lamar turned the visual of his Drake diss track into a family affair. The prolific rapper dropped his "Not Like Us" music video on July 4 and it included some very important people to him. The song is part of what has become a very public feud between Lamar and Drake. Directed by the rapper along with Dave Free, it features cameos from several celebs associated with the West Coast, which is beloved by Lamar, a Compton native.

Watching an Actor play a Rapper was spot on

[@A_Bountiful_Soul]

Kendrick's video ..the knock on the door rhythmic (a shave and a haircut, two bits) is from a minstrel called A Darktown Cake walk...DARKTOWN was actually a town in Atlanta GA. A Cakewalk is when the enslaved, human trafficked victims would dance or mimic their traffickers for the reward of a piece of cake. This is why the first dance movement was a 'tootsie roll' again,mimicking a colonizer. The face makeup.. think ghost dance The Hop Scotch was tripled. He is still prepared for war...10 in the tuck.. A children game ...and skipping the 6 means that Drake was never a worthy opponent. The owl being bust open ..it wasn't money falling out , but documents. The containers harken back to ten ..=songs= trading humans internationally. He is dressed as the authorities in this scene....The rest, I think you all got.

Drake said he was bigger than Kendrick in his own city. That’s why Kendrick put the city on his back and centered the diss/video around a “L.A. love” vibe.

Some of the people mentioning that they don’t get the owl locked in a cage. That’s symbolism for Drakes isolation from the industry and hiphop culture.

[@justus9409]

What, isolated from the culture of death and destruction? Isolated from the gang culture that glorifies killing each other and the repeated objectification of black women embedded in rap. Is it really a bad thing that Drake didn’t come from the streets? I mean really is that a prerequisite to be a successful rap /hip hop artist? Big, Nipsey, 2Pac, and countless others paid the ultimate price being intertwined in the industry and gangster foolishness. Maybe we need more artist that are not influenced by the streets and hopefully, just maybe the message in the music will change.

[@vswayz490]

"No Vaseline" too.

[@redcarsoncomedy]

Here’s some more context and breakdown of the #NotLikeUs video: The opening knock scene was a riff from a song called “Shave And A Haircut Two Bits” Song originated from Charles Hales 1899 Minstrel Song “At A DarkTown CakeWalk” DarkTown was an African American neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia reflecting Kendrick’s final verse. The term CakeWalk is rooted in racism and refers to dance competitions enslaved Africans were forced to perform on plantations where “cake” was the prize. The CakeWalk became a way for slaves to mock and ridicule the mannerisms of their enslavers. Also there are LEVELS to PETTY, Kendrick dropped the NOT LIKE US video 2 hours into Michael Rubin’s white party that Drake was at on the 4th which explains the all white outfit at the end and the wave 👋🏽. - Comedian Red Carson

[@foodfashionindetroit3438]

Squirrels are so cool to watch

[@charlita25]

“They not like us “ I look at the chorus as not a divide of races but a unification of communities. Groups of a certain socioeconomic class that struggled and persevered not just blacks. But blacks and Latinos , people of mixed race too. Drake did not come from any struggle therefore he could never understand and comes off as a poser. Should just stick to N’sync rap.

[@sealedindictment]

that’s bs lol because he doesn’t come from struggle? his father is black so if he identifies as black meet him where he’s at “not like us” is horrid music…a song accusing another person of pdf file? putrid
