Kendrick Lamar’s Outfit from “Not Like Us” ACTUALLY EXPLAINED

#notlikeus #kendricklamar #mensfashion

[@fastguna650]

The designer choice was absolutely not an accident nor a coincidence

[@Blessed-cz4sw]

I’m in Fresno too. I wonder if our brown brothers and sisters recognize they are part of the culture too

[@truthtorpedo4068]

​@@Blessed-cz4sw They really aren't.

[@mk33mathis]

You said that like you’re willing to bet the house on it 😂

[@skholiwezondi986]

I love how Kendrick is giving all the creatives something to breakdown everytime he puts something out. From the Lyrics, to Beats, Production, Visuals, Fashion... man is an artist.

[@BXdemonmode89]

U love him because u r 🌈

[@LilBoma-pt8yg]

​@abrahamconcepcion787 u hate him because u r 🌈

[@C_The_Guy]

“i calculate youre not as calculated”

[@Numb00]

​@abrahamconcepcion787 right, right. Stop projecting.

[@Dude-1689]

​@@BXdemonmode89😂 😂 😂 😂 Okay!

[@Metronomeer]

Kendrick always has the best fits ever!!! He been using some underrated artists caps and other pieces that have helped a lot of cali artists grow! GOAT 🐐

[@StandUpGill]

It’s so easy to not argue this. It should also be a heads up dat ol heads don’t hate bron, they just prefer MJ and Kobe. Bron also a great. But when a 🐐 shows up we notice that too. Kdot is easily 🐐1000%

[@Bnsfz382]

Correct 💯🔥💥👈🏿💪🏿🤟🏿🙌🏿👍🏿👌🏿

[@f0x845]

EVERYWHERE you look there's another layer. Kendrick a goat

[@BossTweed1]

I mean Drake did tell him “it better have a quintuple entendre some sh!t I don’t understand”. Kendrick just followed through 😂😂😂.

[@johnnydigital2349]

Ogers are like Kendrick

[@Arc-Obsidian]

Man k dot loves California he been doin right by us.

[@Bnsfz382]

I can't agree with you more...👈🏿💯🔥💥🤷🏿‍♂️💪🏿🤟🏿🙌🏿👍🏿👌🏿

[@calisoul1326]

Yes he has been doing right by us❤ #kendrickthepoet

[@EuphAsta]

Ong, didn't expect Fresno to get some love too

[@chrisperkins6286]

Kendrick loves COMPTON...LA....INGLEWOOD...

[@EHCBunny4real]

I love Kendrick's blue cap and scarf used with the white outfit.

[@YeahOk8]

That was crazy

[@deusvult6900]

Crip??

[@sfiso4114]

Isn't he a blood? That blue hat says something as well.

[@user-qx5nk6qg2b]

He’s dressed like a 12 year old soccer fan. Wild how all these rappers dress like women or teenage skateboarders from the 90s these days.

[@ricardoeugenecampher2248]

​@@user-qx5nk6qg2bjust say you don't have style

[@patdanamartinez9416]

I honestly think Kendrick Lamar is a absolute creative genius!! He’s in the realm of There Greats I think when people look back at his work he will be remembered as a genius.

[@KingKalack]

Love how kendrick lamar been pushing the culture out there. Man, taking rap back in the right direction. Man is a true artist!

[@richardmccall7479]

Kendrick Lamar been playing chess the whole time never go up against a master when you just a Jedi 😜

[@kristineilochi4615]

Drake is still an initiate at this point. His ghostwriters are knights at best!🤣

[@gamewatch2658]

​​​@@kristineilochi4615 Kendrick simply makes all his listeners his deciples by teaching bout hiphop culture, techniqes, storytelling(decision making) etc, i make music to electrify them

[@chosenelite762]

Drake not even a padawan learner

[@astralmindny9055]

He's bugging with this one.

[@nanonano.beepbeep]

You mean just a padawan. Jedi's are the masters. But, I get your drift.

[@discocarol3348]

I love this on every level… Kendrick is a true artist

[@cherylmosley797]

Absolutely he is rocking that style.

[@deckofcards10]

Everything has a purpose in this video and I love artists like Kendrick who put work out to make the audience go beyond what they hear and see. So good!

[@curiousgem610]

This man needs a Nobel Prize!!! 🏅🏆 amazing historian🙏🏽 💪🏽🎤💪🏽

[@deidraleitner5787]

He is the only hip hop artist to have a Pulitzer. Highest honor to ever receive in writing.

[@d.fera13]

he also dropped it in the middle of the all white party, that’s why he was wearing all white and waved

[@lohkampsrazor1889]

​@@braydensanchez-nl4hsnah he definitely right about the party (Drake was there)

[@ejmakibelo3224]

​@@braydensanchez-nl4hs proof? art is open for interpretation it doesnt really matter if he meant it or not

[@Itsunclegabby]

​@@braydensanchez-nl4hsIf you had 2 braincells to rub together, sir, you'd know that EVERYONE, including EVERYONE at that white party was waiting for the video to drop. You know people snuck away to watch it. Maybe you have no cultural knowledge, like Drake.

[@Jojo-dm6uv]

Yea he definitely crashed the white party!That's also why all the containers were white. And they had ventilation inside suggesting they're being used for trafficking, Kendrick is a lunatic lol. And all his outfits were by Cali natives. Look it up

[@brooklynqueen7089]

Yep, “f…k the industry too!” He’s letting Michael Rubin, Drake (who looked defeated) & others know. He is happiest in his community. He’s not trying to be “Diddied😂” That wave and smile was for them.

[@latoyabrookshire1958]

I’ve been waiting for a Video on this outfit 🤷🏽‍♀️… Thank you!!!

[@kingsqueen1]

This also makes me think about the Latino man who went viral because he said that Kendrick didn’t include any Latinos and the pop out show. Well, here you have it. This is a huge plug for this designer!

[@Itsunclegabby]

The JUNETEENTH Pop Out; even when something is supposed to be for US, folks even POC will try to shift the focus.

[@kimberlyporter9555]

He invests in Americans. From the extras to his clothes, Kendrick is about his community

[@scr3am273]

U mean Black Americans.

[@aintthatlonelyyet]

For prez

[@lulubelle4850]

I think K is calling on the community to up their game, and is leading by example - he does want to be the best, but wants everyone else to be their best and express themselves.

[@doraleslie8518]

I believe it was a strategic move from Kendrick to recognize & showcase businesses on the West Coast.

[@khiddiri]

Wow… I didn’t know willy was from Fresno! When Kdot came to our City we showed him our upmost respect. #CaliforniaBears ☀️🌴🐻

[@Saundra-w9u]

Kendrick Lamar is definitely da goat ❤

[@terryllramsey8128]

He’s not the greatest of all time he’s good but not great .

[@terryllramsey8128]

Ll is the true g.a.o.t he created the term that’s being over used today

[@suzannechapman7559]

Kendrick look so good ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tonjastandley375]

Facts

[@christanzonio8977]

Kendrick's music is so mind bogglingly layered, even Devon is breaking it down

[@virgowoman73]

I think you’re accurate in everything you've said. Shout out to the bay. Town Bizness

[@kingsqueen1]

Thanks for this! I wasn’t aware. Now I’ll go find this designer and support. I loved this look!

[@tarra366]

Kendrick is for sure playing Chess, salute to the young king. It's his time.

[@shabbaranks0]

This style in the MV was so gooddddd loved every single outfit and the scarf on the hat 🙂‍↔️

[@LynnLee-fs3dp]

Those dancers were giggin!🔥🔥👏🏽

[@laurierosejones9531]

I love your take on this. Kendrick is a genius. I cant believe my kids didn't tell me about him. Might be a stylist or brainstorming with his friends, but he clearly could have figured it out.

[@MrChomcky]

It’s the nor cal that got me to love the song. We’re usually left out even though nor cal has done as much as so cal for the music

[@lovelyhart3864]

CA/Bay Area all day! #TownBizz💯🙌🏽

[@HarleyQuinn-mb2de]

OAKLAND CALI BABY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shellyscottsf]

He wore this outfit because he declined going to the All White Party, which was on the day he released this video. The invitation for this year was a painting, which is shown leaning against the wall during the pushups scene.

[@HaleemaSy]

Go head!!! Everything about Kendrick is excellence!!!

[@peterduddington4189]

Turf dancing is always amazing. If you’re into that, Land of 8 Million Dances by The Coup is pretty special

[@riotgear6182]

He made sure fans could remember every single thing 😂 I bet Drake won't ask an audience that question ever again.

[@kirklandnettles]

Kendrick's depth is the reason why he won a Pulitzer Prize for his album DAMN.

[@suzannechapman7559]

Yes I Love Kendricks Style ❤❤❤❤

[@mostly_incorrect]

Kunfu Kenny wit the fits! No chance this was a coincidence, mans made it a point to hit Drizzle from every angle.

[@thekessler251]

This whole process has been so well thought out that you can’t put anything past him. Bro killing it and bringing unity at the same time.

[@TARRS1]

Brooo... My hometown tho?!? Let's get it K Dot! Sheeeeesssshhh

[@ATLienBoxing]

Bro was dancin like that right after a car wreck too. That’s wild

[@BorklyBill]

Everything Kenny does is intentional

[@astralmindny9055]

A lot of shit is, but this dude us reaching.

[@dullless4116]

Good to see Kendrick popping out and representing Compton and my home city of SF

[@delmariohenry3751]

This is the explanation I’ve been waiting for since July 4th. Thank you!

[@curlychronicles]

Kendrick looks so good in this whole video, my goodness! But agree wholeheartedly, serving looks with the fashion.

[@RevengeOfThaNerd]

I'm from Oakland too. I feel like I'm a part of the movement lol. Explaining Tommy the Clown and so much more to people not familiar with West Coast hip hop after Pac era.

[@BigBoyRoma]

Oh my god the KZbin goat is back I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS 🙏🙏🙏

[@shellyburke7343]

I THINK YOU'RE CORRECT!!!💯🦋🌹🖤

[@foxlunacy]

The feeling I get when I suddenly learn that someone I've watched for a while is from my hometown ❤

[@MovieFreakNā]

Nailed it!! I totally absolutely agree. This body of work that Kendrick composed -- not just the song (obviously) but the video has so many easter eggs that he is really on some Stanley vibes. Kornroe Kenny. K Dot. And now Kubrick Kenny.

[@Aceburn5]

Kendrick is one of many reasons why I am proud to be a Californian

[@spheress]

WILLY WAS HIS STYLIST FOR THE MMATBS TOUR AND MUSIC VIDEO

[@aedhcnef6083]

I love the fit on that jacket.

[@victoriaprinceton6021]

True Visionary Artist He’s A Excellent Singer And PLANNER 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️😘😎

[@ItsMikael808]

God bless this man we need more content

[@IceeBree4292]

As a Fresno native You are correct

[@sonyalovest1016]

Kendrick playing chess for quite some time ⏲ Kendrick sealed our summer & we are eternally grateful love ❤ you Kendrick Lamar❤

[@squareoakystewart6870]

Fresno native here and love seeing the represent!!!!

[@kirklandnettles]

Kendrick is so layered. When you put this depth of thought and creativity into everything you do, you don't rush to put out music just to make a dollar. Kendrick is a true artist. He's not chasing a bag. Rappers be dropping trash with a fire beat and people be thinking that rapper is great. Nah, the producers are great.

[@simphiwejzwane4028]

Man is a Genuine Genius What a prestigious mf, the way his showcasing and promoting his LLC 👌👌♥️💯🍾

[@thekruolguy]

Dope breakdown!

[@medra3494]

😊yes Sir, this is why Mr Lamar is the person he is. It's time Cali is recognized for its cultures. 😊

[@lildeathbeam]

Most don't comprehend this man's artistic value

[@MalikHall]

This was an intentional choice by Kendrick for sure. He thought of everything

[@zeelive2411]

Dis just gets better & better 🍿🥤

[@Nishueandsheila222]

No lie, I’m Straight From NY living in SC, but this unity that’s taking place and will continue to take place in Cali makes me wanna move there. It’s real and powerful. Something great is happening.

[@ednashuler7447]

Clever with the hat the Toronto scarf pulled a hat trick on him

[@ceobossbailey80]

That Louisville hat fire cuz

[@GirlWhat74]

I believe that Kendrick is a real time study of the incredible book “The Art Of War”. Content creators for YEARS will be doing breakdowns of all the hidden messages in the song and corresponding video.

[@khalilah1160]

The outfit, hat and scarf was so 🔥

[@_labacanitaz]

It's literally fucking INSANE and ASTOUNDING just how DEEP everything kendrick has done in this "beef" is. Still , after MONTHS there are Easter eggs in EVERY. SINGLE. THING. he's released regarding it. Nothing but respect for him.

[@wallnuts22]

Kendrick for president

[@Newly.Balanced]

Sucka Free in the building & great call on the Bay sauce dripped all over this, great observations 🙏🫡🔥

[@mimib1583]

Straight jacket. It goes deeper.

[@Yit27]

Well, I’m from Fresno and on the 99 there’s a pine tree and a palm tree that represents SoCal and nor cal. And it slap dead in the middle of Cali. So my conclusion is Lamar is a walking da Vinci code !

[@yulifadida6661]

Its not that deep dawg 😭

[@Yit27]

@@yulifadida6661 it’s deeper then deep

[@ovenfreshhhhh]

a lot of work goes into a music video... i don't think outfit choice was a mere coincidence. :) it doesn't matter that kendrick is short, but he wears his clothes really well and nothing ever looks weird on him. he's got a really good understanding of what works and doesn't work for him.
