Kendrick Lamar has dropped the highly anticipated music video for his Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” reigniting their ongoing feud and captivating fans with its bold imagery and direct jabs.
“In his ongoing dispute with Drake, Kendrick Lamar unleashed the music video for his hit diss track “Not Like Us.” ”
The summer hit is now accompanied by a powerful video that directly targets the Canadian rapper.The video opens with an interesting piece of unreleased music, teasing fans about Lamar’s new album. Tommy the Clown, a dancer from Lamar’s Juneteenth “Pop Out” concert in Los Angeles, greets Lamar at a door. The password exchange opens “Not Like Us,” where Lamar says, “I see dead people,” alluding The Sixth Sense and Drake’s defeat in their fight.
The video’s visual narrative is symbolic. Owls, Drake’s OVO Sound label insignia, are a blatant dig at Drake. Lamar smashes an owl-shaped piñata, along with a funny statement: “Disclaimer: No OVHoes were harmed in the making of this video.” Lamar stands in front of a caged barn owl to strengthen his feud supremacy.
Drake’s former Toronto Raptors teammate DeMar DeRozan makes a cameo, adding interest. Drake, a diehard team fan, will feel this.
Drake’s accusations against Lamar are also addressed in the video. Drake stated on “Family Matters” that Lamar’s close friend and colleague Dave Free fathered one of his children. Lamar counters in the “Not Like Us” video by acknowledging Free as a co-director. This cooperation shows their longtime friendship and professional partnership.
“Family Matters” also implied Lamar physically abused his fiancée, Whitney Alford. Alford cheerfully dances with Lamar and their two children in the “Not Like Us” video, demonstrating family harmony and love.
In the video, Kendrick Lamar uses stunning visuals to strengthen his feud perspective. The release of “Not Like Us” follows many musical interactions between the rappers. J. Cole calling himself, Lamar, and Drake the “big three” of hip-hop exacerbated the issue. The March track “Like That” by Lamar included the daring line, “Motherf— the big three, n—a, it’s just me.” After releasing “The Heart Part 6” on May 5, Drake removed an Instagram post advertising it, which many fans saw as a capitulation.
Lamar performed “Not Like Us” five times at his Juneteenth event, reaffirming his authority and sending a forceful message to Drake and hip-hop.
A fan said, “Kendrick took this beef to another level with ‘Not Like Us.'” The video is a narrative and lyrical gem.”
Fans and reviewers are analysing every shot and phrase of this high-profile rap duel to decide who wins. Lamar’s artistic approach and strategic timing give him an edge, for now.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video is a powerful assertion of artistic superiority and personal vindication, not just a diss piece. Lamar is determined to solidify his rap legacy and will go to tremendous measures as the feud continues.
Kendrick Lamar’s YouTube page has the video, which is still trending on social media. Fans eagerly anticipate Drake’s response, if any, and the next chapter in this hip-hop-star feud.
