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.

Count the push-ups he did 17 because Drake doesnt do over 18 😂😂😂

A minor - Music Note
A minor - Meet the Grahams entire nota
A minor - A child
A minor - All white keys
A minor - Nothing significant

There's more.. I'm just tired typing

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

Killed him in the scene with Whitney C-Walking with the kids…You know that hurt Drake’s heart… shut down all his disses…sure haven’t seen Sophie in any of his videos 😂

[Winteramen]

Hey hey hey to be fair to drake. Kendrick using owl imagery wasn't HIM suggesting drake's a predator. Drake did that all by himself

[kingjohn]

I kinda hope Drake tries to reignite the beef just so we can hear those other 5 diss songs

[aceofpops]

"i mean just look at the ears" is diabolical 😭

[Letmesharemythoughts]

Now Kendrick should name the album D.R.A.K.E
“Dont rap against Kendrick ever “

[VolusiaQ]

The fact that Whitney is wearing a wife beater is diabolical. 😂😂😂

And KDOT & Mustard was at a Compton staple, Tam's. 💯

He doesn't NEED to buy views.

I'm an older suburban white woman and I watched the music video no less than twelve times in a row starting 15 minutes after it dropped. I was 12 of those 1.5 million views, and If I'M watching, the whole planet is watching. "He buys views" - yeah that's pure copium.

"Stop playing with me before i turn you to a song"

The piñata is also culturally significant in LA. It doesn't matter your nationality as they can be found even in a basic chain grocery store any day of the week.

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.

[subtlefeatures]

Drake is finished. People bopping to this down under. It’s over

[pjp]

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.

Shooting the video in front of the Compton Courthouse is symbolic of putting Drake on trial. The hundreds of people seen in the courthouse scenes acts as witnesses to the charges against Drake.

[SasukeUchiha-qgnn]

Someone else pointed out that Kendrick did 17 push ups for Drake, one short of 18.

A MINOR

[MNNI]

His wife was dancing in a “wife beater” 😤

[vkwwwdb]

Funny how Drake taunting metro for beats and Kenny for quintuple entendres aged🤣

[MNNI]

I’ve never seen an owl look more shook 😳
