Girl passing the Bible to Dot. Rocking the blue & Red flag, tied together was hella symbolic

[@t-and-p]

I noticed that almost all of the dancers in that part had the tied flags around the waist. Plus, the letters making up "Not Like Us" on their outfits were half red and half blue. The symbolism of what Tommy the Clown (& the song itself) represents - unity in LA - is really powerful.

[@themissededucation]

He also filmed the crowd that specific way because Drake did something very similar in God’s Plan and made it seem like he was really giving back to the community. So he filmed the same way to expose him and all his pretending. “God plan is to show ya the liar.” Genius Kendrick, genius.

[@mariemiel]

My favourite symbolism from the video is how the dancers at the beginning were all wearing belts made up of red and blue bandanas tied together. It's such a big indicator of the impact both Kendrick's side of the beef and specifically the Pop Out concert have had.

[@RemusHolt]

12:46 also, Whitney is wearing a wife beater. If this was anyone else’s music video I would call it a coincidence but it’s Kendricks so it’s definitely not a coincidence

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

The containers are a reference to “The Wire” scene that had the girls in the container … crazy

He also featured a lot of clothing from local designers. The white outfit is made by a Latino man who lives in between Los Angeles and Oakland, and then there’s a distressed black hat that he wears as he’s walking back-and-forth with a crowd behind him a small business, Latino family in LA gave him that hat and they could not believe that he was wearing it in the video*

@@MichaelRosasco Yes, I'm sure. I've worked in costuming in the past. This is a massive thing in regards to brand names and trademarks. Take a look at any movie antagonist and ask yourself if you see any logos or brands, vs the protagonists. You likely won't see any on the villain because they have to be pre-approved, and most brands don't want to be associated with negative connotations. Given all the allegations back and forth between Kendrick and Drake, regardless of if they are true, Kendrick/the production could have had legal trouble if the Blue Jays hadn't approved it.

I don't know what it is, but Kendrick looks really good in this. He looks really healthy...I don't know why that stood out to me so much.

[@MsSandyAGo]

We noticed it at the pop out! We spoke about it again after watching the video. Dot looks amazing!! Victory is good for the skin, apparently.

@@MsSandyAGo He lives a low-key and healthy lifestyle. He's been working out a lot and eating nutritiously.

[@MsSandyAGo]

@@buddhaparadox I figured as much. He truly is looking quite beautiful these days. It's great to see him look so well.

[@nikkoa.3639]

Compare that to Drake's pic in the "All-White" party. Man looked like he aged 20 years

[@MaishaOnTop]

​@@nikkoa.3639 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Drake is AGING, you can see it all in his face, skin getting loose around the jaw. If he didn't have the cornrows, you'd think the man is 10 years older.

[@db56]

"Atomic Dog" (Parliament Funkadelic) reference with the dog breathing at the beginning of the video. Parliament Funkadelic is one of the 4 fathers of West Coast Music as whole. Kendrick is getting to the true foundation...to the roots! Good to see and hear. This is where I think Detroit (the origin of Parliament) and West Coast Music are intertwined.

[@ricajaneadelante8036]

The juxtaposition of all these west coast moves and the Drake-imitating dance moves that Kendrick did when he was wearing the gray suit is mindblowing. Such a huge contrast in terms of style and another way that Kendrick shows that he's "not like us".

1. Owls are predators. (We hate predators) - 17 pushups - girls under 18 years old, Drake's prey. 2. Owls are nocturnal. Believe it or not 69% are active at night out of 250 species. (69 God, prey at night percentage) 3. Owls will feed on each other. (Ovo people have given KDot info) 4. Owls attack prey mostly at night when prey are at their weakest. (Ovo preying on young guys like Diddy and RKelly+ more) 5. The Northern Sotted Owl is endangered in British Columbia. (KDot is showing how Drake is fading away) 6. Owls caught in the daytime are easy to tame. (KDot brought things to light for us) The last shot of the owl reminds me of Taylor Swift's video "Look What You Made Me Do" when he stole the keys to her castle and locked her out. Is this a shout out to TSwift? Pac's ring! Predators need to caged/jailed/tamed. Kendrick Lamar in that last frame shot of that owl in a cage is an entire essay on how to bury your enemy within seconds.

Never had a diss track gotten much radio play let alone played everywhere just to shit on a rapper. It is the best diss track ever made, because it is loaded with things you still catch after watching again and again, but it also sounds amazing. The best Drake ever did was get people to boo Meek Mill songs when played in the club for a few months. This song will be played til Drake dies, I almost feel sorry for him. Then I remember, He Not Like Us DESERVED!

[@aatiti2011]

Interesting how the owl doesn't see the cage but see Kendrick. Then from Kendrick 's perspective, the owl is caged 😂

The biggest Drake Stan argument was that Kendrick wasn't addressing the shots at him. This was the big reveal that the hero was bullet proof all along. And pulling the slide at the start to show he was still loaded. Drake threatened a nuclear power with a box cutter.

I noticed a few things I haven't heard people mention with Kendrick trolling is Canadians do say "Ay" at the end of a their sentences and he has a few bars in there where he says that at end of his bars. Also during the push-up cell block 1 portion when he puts his fingers up and does that little L finger dance that's a troll from Drake and a young girl doing a dance like that. Also when Kendrick is around all the shipping boxes and he takes his hand by his eye and does that little dance move that's a Drake troll as well cuz Drake did that too. The subtle trolls are amazing as well as the screaming ones.. It's so meticulous and so wild how he just put everything into this song made it a hit it's a summer hit the video is amazing and just the details I mean it's crazy... and the song doesn't get old even if you're like no I don't feel like hearing that again the minute you hear it you're back in it sucks you're back in it's so good.
