Kendrick Lamar has finally released the highly anticipated video for “Not Like Us” that contains several nods to his past beef with Drake. This video is a treat for fans who have been closely following the saga between the two artists.
Directed by Kendrick and Dave Free, the “Not Like Us” video starts with a shot of the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Compton, Kendrick’s hometown. This setting sets the tone for the confrontational lyrics of the song aimed at Drake.
One of the most notable references to the feud is a scene reminiscent of Drake’s “Family Matters” music video, where a man resembling Drake from the cover of “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” approaches Kendrick. However, as he moves closer to Kendrick, he is abruptly pulled away, symbolizing Kendrick’s belief that he is immune to Drake’s attempts at dissing him.
Overall, the “Not Like Us” video is a visually compelling and thrilling watch, especially for fans who have been following the dynamics between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
