- HERE is the scoop
In a world where celebrity feuds can be as captivating as their art, Kendrick Lamar (33, rapper) has just escalated his legendary spat with Drake to cinematic levels. The release of his music video for "Not Like Us" isn't just a new chapter in their beef; it's a full-blown victory lap.
This visual masterpiece, laden with Easter eggs taunting Drake and his OVO crew, has fans and foes alike buzzing with excitement.
The Beef That Shook Pop Culture
Remember the beef that had everyone talking? Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake wasn't just a spat; it was a saga. With each artist dropping diss tracks that were clever, cutting, and undeniably catchy, the rap world was riveted.
But it's Kendrick's "Not Like Us" that's taken the crown, skyrocketing to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. And now, the music video has landed, serving as the mic drop in this high-profile feud.
Directed by Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free, the video is a treasure trove of references that fans of the feud will relish. There are shots of an owl resting on Lamar’s arm, shots of an owl in a cage, as well as a scene of Lamar smashing an owl piñata, while a disclaimer flashes across the screen reading, "no OVHoes were harmed during the making of this video."
There are several location references in the video, too, including Tam’s Burgers and the Compton courthouse.
The video even kicks off with Lamar doing push-ups on cinder blocks, a nod to Drake's "Push Ups" and the infamous photo of Lamar.
Cameos from West Coast icons like Mustard, Tommy the Clown, and NBA star DeMar DeRozan (a nod to Drake's Toronto roots) pepper the video, adding layers of local loyalty and star power.
Even Kendrick's partner, Whitney Alford, and their children make an appearance, dancing joyously, in what seems to be a direct clapback to Drake's "Family Matters" allegations. "Not Like Us" is more than just a diss track; it's a cultural moment. With its clever visuals and lyrical prowess, Kendrick Lamar has not only declared victory over Drake but has also cemented his place in the pantheon of rap legends
