The Truth Behind Kendrick's 'Not Like Us' Video

Kendrick Lamar just dropped the music video to his #1 hit record that is also a Drake diss record 'Not Like Us'.
In the video, we see appearances from none other than the producer of the record DJ Mustard, Ab Soul, Jay Rock, all the Top Dawg Entertainment members (TDE), Kendrick's manager Dave Free, Kendrick's fiancée Whitney, Demar Derozan, amongst many other significant cameos, which put the nail in the coffin for Drake and all the rumours he created within his beef with Kendrick.
In this video, we'll break down every scene from the video and explain the significance behind every visual, reference, appearance, and more, as well as the snippet of new music that Kendrick premiered within this video.

1st. Calling Drake A colonizer on the 4th of July is Iconic 2nd. Whitney dancing while saying Family matters is diabolical 3rd. "No OVHOES were harmed in the making of this video" is crazy 4th. If you tired of this song just know you're not like us

Thank you. I missed it 1st time. That'd the thing about kendrick, he just gets deeper and more layered the more you think about and talk about it. I'd love Drake fans to tell me about the times they suddenly got new insight into a Drake & Co lyrical product. "She made me beg for it 'Til she give it up And I say the same thing every single time: you the fucken best (x19)" see, repeating the "fucken best" line over and over and over is meant to express that the singer is so obsessed that he's lost the power of rational thought and meaningful expression, and so just like a computer in 60s TV after being fed a logical fallacy like Drake saying "Everything I say is a lie" (which is obviously true, except he only lies, so it HAS to be false? Which means he's telling the truth about being a liar...true...lie.true.lies does not compute does not compute... bang!"

Everyone's missing that Drake is locked into a 20-album contract with UMG. Rolling this video out on Independence Day and ending it with an owl in a cage is pointed trolling.

[@aj_nav]

Kendrick is goated for his many entendres. Note how the owl doesn’t see it’s caged which is symbolizing drake and his groupies not seeing they’ve lost to Kendrick. Another commenter pointed out that it could mean Drake and his OvO getting locked up in the future…for obvious reasons

[@Dougie19xx]

20 ALBUMS? Like 19+1?? Oh they OWN his ass! 😱

[@pjp171]

I think that last scene with Kendrick, staring at the owl in a cage, had two meanings. 1: he’s saying that the bars he dropped against Drake locked up his career 2: he saying Drake and OVO will soon be behind bars.

[@lauren8152]

I agree, i also noticed that in the clips with the owl as Kendrick is walking away, the owl is in a defensive/fearful position with its feathers fluffed up in the back and its head low. It could be unintentional and the owl is just spooked from the filming, but i think its pretty cool that they chose a shot that may represent Drake being scared of what this might do to him.

[@SolarVixen]

@@lauren8152interesting insight 🧐 love that knowledgeable fact

[@dgk6661]

The, "man down, call the amberlamps" line doesn't get enough respect. It's in reference to that viral video, where that guy with the braids tries to start some shit with another bus passenger. The guy goes on and on about how he's a gangster and about that life. He then gets a beat down and someone asks him if he's okay, we see him sitting there all bloody and broken, and he says, "No, call the amberlamps". The guy wore braids similar to Drake's and professed to be something he's not. Which ended up in him being bloody and beaten, just like Drake the Fake. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just my opinion: The opening line doesn't say "broccoli." It's "Woke up looking for the Barclay...IP ownership the Blueprint is by me...,"all referencing The Barclay Center, IP ownership and working with JayZ bringing the coasts together. So, Jay is by KDot at the Barclay which Jay was a huge part of re-opening and Kendrick owns his IP like Jay did once he bought his masters, including the Blueprint album. The Kamasi part refers to the famous saxophonist Kamasi Washington who is the founding member of the collective West Coast Get Down. Double, triple entendres and more. 🔥🔥🔥

A few more other things: 1.) He does 17 push ups in jail. Cell block one and PDF file reference. 2.) When doing hopscotch, his outfit references the guy in the hater meme, which is also referenced in a previous diss track. 3.) Whitney is wearing a white tank top… aka a wife beater. ☠️

[@jscott179]

The owl at the end… 1. An owl is a predator 2. A predator preys on others to survive (hence why Drake is a colonizer) 3. A predator belongs in jail (hence the cage) 4. Kendrick puts Drake in a cage and he’s the only one that can unlock it 5. This video was released on Independence Day in which we celebrate our freedom. Drake is not free, he is a prisoner to his label. 6. Kendrick is looking down at the owl all while the owl does not move when Kendrick is present. When Kendrick puts it in the cage and moves away, the owl then starts leer. 7. The owl is white and brown just like Drake being biracial 8. Owls are creepy just like Drake 9. When do you ever see owls??? Rarely. Owls hide and we rarely can ever spot them, just like a PDFile. We dont know who's a PDFile because they too are in hiding.

Someone finally got it right about DJ Mustard, wearing the Toronto Blue Jays Hat, I have watched so many breakdowns of the music video, and you are the only people who got that part right.

[@DionnaHayden]

Someone pointed out that Whitney is wearing a “wife beater” shirt. Nicely done.

[@ravensmood]

June 16th is also 2pac's bday

[@TBH_KHMSS]

Yall realised when kendrick said "hide your little sister from him" he did the hand thing drake did with a little girl

[@uselessinkk]

it looks like that was YG in one of those cuts dancing

[@gullycreepa]

Yup! That was YG B-walking in the dark besides Kendrick in that shot at 3:59

[@efiisee]

The whole damn video is just diabolical 💀😂

[@kjmartin815]

dot may be paying for views, but i was at the bar when it dropped and i clicked it right away and as soon as everybody around me saw what i was looking at they all looked it up and watched it too. this song really does have the world in its grasp

[@greekfreak384]

The owl 🦉 is also in reference to “ i know why the caged bird sings”😂 Kendrick is different different

[@Neoculus]

ima tell my future kids about dis whole thing one day

[@alishadaniels4815]

I explain it 2 my 4 year old now..😂😂😂😝

[@StanRoyal-777]

She’s actually blood walking cause Kendrick is Piru. He just doesn’t explode it for fame.

[@Broadkill54]

With college football coming up and the students going back to school, I can see the song gaining new steam in the fall.

[@alishadaniels4815]

Yes the battle of the bands is gonna be crazy.. 😜

[@madikako7053]

the effort to upload this in 6 hours im so impressed

[@G-MoneyBags]

Fabricating stories on the family front cause you heard Mr. Morale.

[@tanyaeubanks556]

This video is the BEST Trolling I have ever seen. I screamed with the crip walk over the hop scotch, wopping the owl and THE BEST----THE Owl in the CAGE!!!! Loved it

[@kelleycarterwilliams739]

Blood walk

[@DillardBCommons]

Stock 5 + 5 = STOCKTON.

[@jlonglastname1804]

A possible meaning about that Stockton reference - is that John Stockton is forver linked to Karl Malone who got a 13 yr old girl pregnant when he was like 20. It's a reach, but when I first heard that line I thought - eww Stockton and Malone. Gross.

[@AdamWentz-qs5qc]

Man if i was drake id just say yea dude got me on this one. You win some you lose some. And move on go back to making song that are his bread and butter. But if he keeps engaging in beef with kendrick his career is most likely over.

[@dgaldón]

drake watching this to understand how he got ducked up

[@UKLeonie]

Whitney is his wife and actually blood dancing not Walking, and we love it 😘🥰😘♥️♥️♥️

[@The_eviLegend]

well coming to the hopscotch part...did anyone noticed that kendrick hopped exactly 18 times and then the clip cuts this might indicate how drake is interested until the age is below 18. When talking about Kendrick this surely is a possibility

[@emmanuelmondesir8677]

DAILY REMINDER THAT A DEAL WITH A 50% SPLIT IS A DEAL THAT MOST ARTISTS WOULD KILL FOR

[@thereal3682]

Drake ahould quit the beef, i hope he doesnt qnd hes stupid enough to continue want to hear the other five ...

[@ThePilleroflightning]

He’s going to keep sneak dissing on socials. Typical

[@v.oppenheimer1530]

B Walking and C Walking are two different dances. Just putting that out there.

[@alishadaniels4815]

Both were illustrated in the video though!

[@ZURIRecords5517]

When Kendrick said "he a FA.N." they were dancing under the ceiling fan lol 😂😂😂

[@aramatjackson3630]

*K. dot did 17 push-ups cause Drake don’t want nothing after 18. *Doing Hop-Scotch while singing out the A-minor cause that’s a game little girls play… *That figure that got blown back is wearing the face mask Drake had on only to get blown away by the boogie man.. *When he said, “what’s OVO?” Then the girl had her hands on her 🐱 *Have his entire family not only in the video but sis had on a “wife-beater.” *Having a real owl..putting him back in the cage…have said owl watching him walk away and leaving in darkness.. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@Mrebosie]

I think drake should just go ahead and drop the video of "wah gwan delilah" in response

[@songbird9444]

Lmao

[@emeryjones8050]

“on the hopscotch, there were the letters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10” 😂 did he mean numbers?

[@justdepressed4645]

"Can't tootsie slide out of this one it's just gon' resurface"

[@funckypickle77]

Not like Us video has 153,000 comments. No way it's viewed by bots.

[@rogerabbit_420]

Only correction I have is , Whitney is Blood walking not Crip Walking.

[@PirateNikki]

Thank you for this! I completely missed some of these and wasn’t caught up on the whole thing. This explained the video so well.

[@jeritheweirdchild]

Kdot went so hard i actually screamed seeing the notification

[@MamaJayde]

“Younger women” - as in girls? 😅

[@kristineilochi4615]

Yeah, I didn't get that either. He was implying that he likes girls--not younger. women. Being into younger women as a grown man is okay. Being into girls as a grown man--not at all okay.

[@Dougie19xx]

It ain't nuthin like a crispy pair of brand new, white Chucks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joewizuber270]

Yea theres nothing drake can do to stop the momentum. If anything he should get into some movies. But for now take a year off let it dry up and allow Kendrick to get the peace cemented out west. Amazing how a beef feud can create some peace i know bloods and crips arent the only gangs in America but pertaining to black folks these are the top concerned. Good breakdown of the video when i first watched it I was also blown away by all the subliminals. But most importantly the caged owl at the end

[@preciousone9377]

Kendrick don’t have to pay for views, this song and video is LIKE DAT!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@simmienyathi3746]

Forgot the honestly nevermind ref,the art n style of the words "not like us"

[@silentd_6]

The only thing that would have made not like us video better….at the very end have it say directed by Dave Freeeeeeeeeeee 😂

[@alishadaniels4815]

😂😂😂😂😂 Facts!!!
