let me know if you caught anything else down below, love making these and finding new shit with y'all in the comments. feel like we'll be going back to this video and finding things we missed for years to come. hope y'all had a good 4th of July, and thanks for watching

The piñata looked like it had receipts in it.

It’s like this is america if gambino actually followed through with making it a drake diss track

Not like us is literally the most calculated, well addressed, most thoughtful and planned out song in music history and will never EVER be replicated. Kendrick Lamar will go down in history as literally THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Kendrick Lamar thoroughly secured his spot as the king of rap.

K Dot with the quintuple entendres both in audio and video

This isnt even a diss track anymore it's a victory lap

Shipping yard: weird cases. How many stocks he has in stock. Ready to be shipped out. The open container- the rabbit hole. Trafficking. There's layers

He dropped the video at 7pm eastern time/ 4pm pacific time. 7/4 = July 4th

The facts you made this vid only 4 min and not 15 is much appreciated. Thank you! Better than most channels, keep it up

Kendrick dropping the video on the fourth and the Pop Out concert on Juneteenth is nasty work.

Kendrick Lamar is a genuis of black art, phenomenal

Bro…you missed the shipping containers being a reference to human trafficking. Kendrick staring down the owl & then the owl being locked behind black bars, meaning the predator (which an owl is) locked in a cage (prison & Kendrick cahing the predator)

You forgot the start where Tommy the clown ask for the password to enter the classroom. It’s referencing gate keeping the 5 elements of hiphop so that they never get culture vultures like the owl dude. In the class room you have representation of DJ when Tommy goes to start the music at the turntable , representation of dance, representation of graffiti art work , representation of spirituality when the bible is being passed around and representation of mc’ing. Basically hiphop should not make it easy for people to come in and traffic out the culture.

Kendrick Lamar had the Pop Out concert on Juneteenth where they danced on his grave. He drops the “Not Like Us” video on Independence Day. Drake will never know freedom.

As someone in my 50s just learning about this beef, Kendrick Lamar is the real deal, and Drake is an industry plant for the mindless masses that aimless follow the herd.

drake was ready for the fight, but Kendrick has already strategized the war

My mom has literally been rapping this song. No way some people think Drake wom

its now, 7/5/2024 and it has 20 Million in a day.... bout 3 million come from me... it's DOPE!

Everyone is missing the best hidden gem of this song, Dot starts by saying “Reincarnated….”, that’s after he said he’d “died” on Mr Morale. So Mr Morale is dead, and there’s a new reincarnated version of him🫵😮‍💨 I can’t wait 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

This might be a reach but the way the dude flies away when trying to attack Kendrick looks a lot like Elevens powers from stranger things, which is another tie to Milley Bobby Brown
