Kendrick was NOT playing when he said “head shots for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk!” 😂

Kendrick walked his enemy down with a poker face🔥

Kendrick said on "Meet the Grahams" "You fuk'd up the moment you called out my family's name."...... I felt that!😂😂😂

That owl was acting it's ass off give that lil dude an oscar

If J Cole ends up on the remix Kendrick might get arrested for messing with a gravesite,

The Industry: Kenny, he's down. You can stop now. For real. He's not getting back up. Kendrick: He's still breathing though.

Yo Stevie that shipping container scene is deeper than that you caught the surface meaning. Now as you can see Kendrick is wearing a investigator suit. That is referencing the show “The Wire” because right after it cuts to the girl dancing on the telephone line. On that show they had a entire season dedicated to human trafficking using those containers. This video is way more detailed than it seems. I’ve seen no breakdown channels or reactors truly understand that connection. They think it’s just a girl dancing on a telephone line.

Peep how when Kendrick is shown from the owl's perspective, there aren't any bars, but when we see from Kendrick's perspective, the cage is visible. Drake is caged in by that deal he took with UMG. He's the slave, and doesn't even know it!

At the very end of the video. Kendrick is blending in with the hood in the crowd. That's also a statement.

Kendrick conducting a year long wake, funeral, and burial for Drake. And we are here for every minute of it. Salute & Peace.

"Have you ever, walked yo enemy down like with a poker face"

Anybody that can rap swimming pool and make me feel like I’m falling in a swimming pool full of liquor need not be messed with.

Kendrick really adding the salt to the wounds😂

Double triple entendre with the push-ups he got 17 Grammys and the camera stopped short of him getting his 18th. I wouldn’t be surprised if he won his 18th Grammy with this record.

Whitney in a wife beater is a classic troll move and I believe they planned it from before Kendrick dropped Euphoria

Kdot is a creative monster

Kendrick saved hip hop idc what no one says…and we here in Cali here for it all!!

If K Dot comes back on any track, and use Boyz N Da Hood ,"Yall wanna see a dead body" as an intro, would be a Flawless Victory. 🔥🔥🔥

The owl being an actual PREDATOR is what is CRAZY!!

As someone who has been a fan of hip-hop since the 1980s, I absolutely adore Kendrick Lamar not just for his artistry, but for also his social commentary and personal introspection. Kendrick not lying when he says he’s the blueprint.

They're turning on him for a reason, we just don't know. If EVERYONE has a problem with YOU , YOU are the problem!

Who else noticed only Trash came out of the pinyara instead of sweets or something..🤣🤣

Seen this on Reddit too. “Opening picture was of the courthouse, the next scene was of 12 chairs in two row with only 11 seats filled. It seems like you only have 12 jurors if it's for a felony trial. We as the audience could be the 12th juror. Later on in the video, there is a segment alluding to human trafficking via containers (AC visible inside the containers). This is followed by a celebration in front of the court house, and closed out with the imagery of an owl in a cage. This makes me think that the whole thing is meant to be about putting Drake on trial. Thoughts on whether my interpretation makes sense”?

Was I the only one that noticed Whitney wearing the WIFE BEATER shirt!!!

You missed an important. Using the challenge password thing would imply that you have to have some knowledge of what is going on in the place you are trying to enter. Or being apart of the culture of the people you are attempting to associate with

This the Kendrick I been waiting for . That’s the thing about humble ppl . They’re really off their rocker . Simply because when I flip the switch I may not ever turn it off 😂

Kendrick out here like the Zodiac killer, he really despises this dude😂

He once said stop playing with me before I turn you to a song

He actually kept it light but it's still NASTY WORK!😂😂😂

Kendrick seems actually very relaxed and was laughing a lot at the pop out when he invited everybody on stage and also in all the videos people shared when he was with all Compton making the music video. I really enjoy him smiling & laughing - it’s such a great smile. He seems like s.o. who is funny and enjoyable in his private life. His interviews give me those vibes. 😊

Hey watch that hopscotch scene again. Notice he didn’t step on the 6. He’s not acknowledging 6. 6 God . He saying Drake is irrelevant.

The opening with Tommy an the dancers sitting like jurors. There are 12 seats with 1 empty. Are we the 12th in the court of public opinion??? Hmm

Dot doing 17 push ups is crazy

He shocked the industry and woke up Cali

At the beginning when he knocked on the door with the universal “black knock” and then needing a password means we gotta gatekeep our culture, and K. Dot knows the password!😂

Someone else pointed out that all the shipping containers start with CB1-Cell Block 1

You mentioned Kendrick only did 17 1/2 push-ups. We know Drake likes them 17 and younger. K-dot needs to be a course in college. There are so many layers to his brilliance!

"You think Oakland gone let you disrespect Pac, nicca?" With that laughing smirk 😊 LOVE IT 🌊🌊🌊

Kendrick is the Anti-hero everyone should hate, but the audience can't hate him, because everything he is saying is the truth and makes sense. He straight went the Thanos route on Drake.

Peep Kendrick's demeanour in this music video, he is like "Bro, this too easy". The cold and clam stares while rapping, graceful smiles, relaxed dance moves, hands in the pocket and waving and smiling at the "Are we locked in?" line is villainous 😂!

Wow! “Why does the caged bird sings!” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kendrick is surgical. Everything is intentional.

D-Rozen from Compton. It would be more foul for him to back Drake in this beef against the home team. There was no neutral in this situation. You see how it's turning out for Game

Also the Tightrope scene i think has another meaning, or at least how I took it..Drake warning him to keep it friendly and dont wake the demon up, walking a fine line messing with a giant like me. And him responding Bitch imma C walk on that line.

The 17 push-ups stand up and then start over 😂😂😂 keeping it under 18... killed me....

I just found out that Drake was at Michael Rubins All-White party when the music video dropped, i don't think its a coincidence that Kenny's wearing that white outfit 😂😂

Stevie, when I heard you call the video “mid” I knew you were not watching carefully. 😂

Great explanation of the caged bird. The youth need to know about Maya Angelo. 🙏🏽

YG said it best - Drake is WEIRD and people don't want to stand next to that.

Kendrick dressed like a detective while he’s uncovering the containers

At 2:28 the way kendrick looks at the camera while saying "the other vaginal option"....nah that has to mean something.🤔🧐

Yo, also all 3 highlighted dancers are well-known choreographers in Cali. The young lady at the beginning, I can't remember her name but she's one. Then the girl in Tam's is Storm Debarge, and the the guy at the shipping containers is Kida the Great. Look up their names! Dot was intentional about highlighting Cali representatives. Even being at Nickerson projects

I KNEW u were coming back for another bite of this apple. U missed so much stuff bcuz u were lit, having a kickback w/the family & friends. 100% understood & I appreciated that u at least gave a reaction in real-time & came back w/this. I was literally refreshing every couple minutes on ur page until u dropped the 1st video. U, Shaq, Knox, Scru & LawTwinz are the top 5 in these reaction videos, so I know I wasn't the ONLY one waiting on ur video, lol! I didn't think u were that lit 🔥 either until u said Kendrick looked "high", had no emotion & didn't smile the whole video. It's all good though SK, u been working OVERTIME on this channel & in your REAL personal life so it's ALL LOVE. 💯👑💪🏾🔥🐐❤️

Dots wife wearing a wife beater is beyond crazy

Mustard said in an interview that hat wasn't intentional..it just happen to be the one he had not sweated through that he had left..it just happen to be a Bluejays hat..

Just my opinion: The opening lines, "Woke up looking for the Barclay...IP ownership the Blueprint is by me...all referencing JayZ. So, KDot working with Jay at the Barclay which Jay was a huge part of re-opening and owning his IP like Jay did when he bought his masters, including the Blueprint album. The Kamasi part refers to the famous saxophonist Kamasi Washington who is the founding member of the collective West Coast Get Down. Double, triple entendres and more)

Stevie waving the pen at us the says “let’s proceed” lol love him 😂

Special when you can bring people together especially enemies ❤

Just in case if you haven’t heard this before. When Kendrick says “Hey hey hey run for your life” is a reference to the Fat Albert cartoon show created by Bill Cosby. Also when Kendrick says “Step this way…. step this way” is a reference to R Kelly’s step in the name of love song.

I was completely shocked when you said in your last review that the video was mid. 😮. I'm like what video did he watch? That's why you have to sit with something before reacting. I'm glad you went back and watched.

Remember when THEY all kept saying Dot played NLU 5 times in the Kendrick and Friends Concert... cause he needed the footage for the MV?? And we kept telln THEM, no dummies... he did it because that's what the crowd/Culture wanted, and needed ... and he listened and delivered 💯 ... Dot does not act or react for material gains💯 .... And Drake and all his FANs, did you see Withney crip walking on your grave... with her family??? If you dont publicly apologize for coming for an innocent's man's credibility and family... Even the universe wont forgive you💯

I’m East coast all day but 2-PAC was always my fave and Kendrick been my favorite rapper since he came out….PERIOD‼️

Something else with the tight rope shot that I was thinking about; at the beginning of the beef when drake dropped push ups and then Taylor made and Kendrick was taking his time and crafting his diss records, many people in the industry thought that Kendrick had “met his match” or thought there was a possibility he could lose it. At the beginning of the shot she’s lookin like she might fall but then ended up stomping on that rope and owned it, much like Kendrick did through the whole beef once he started dropping bombs on drake.

Them owls is predators lock that predator behind bars

😂 I knew you'd be back with hidden meanings. Because there was so much you missed first time round...no Diddy

Kenny treating it like its war he demolishing him in every way 😂

In my opinion,(as a rap listener on the west coast), folks that AREN'T Drake stans, should simply address him as Aubrey.

This is why I LOVED the video. It was extra disrespect but only if you knew what to look for or turned the words into a visual/a visual etaphir. I often struggle to get some things into my imagination due to mild autism spectrum disorder. That area sometimes does me dirty and is like…”yeah, you’re gonna have to wait to have some reference. Till then it’ll be this nebulous, abstract thing in your head” This video brought a perfect combination of storytelling mostly via the song but then punches, jabs, jokes, and also…proof that Drake lost and lied (hi, Whitney, I’m looking at you, wonderful lady!) And you know, sometimes on videos you can tell..it’s just acting. No, this was something else. I could just. FEEL that energy coming through my screen. 4:51 yes! Again, Drake isn’t like him. Kendrick is competitive, but is generous. He gives back. Drake is way too ego filled to care if he stomps on others careers, divides people, etc. maybe I’m being harsh, maybe it’s my female spidey senses…but just. No. I don’t like him. I think he has talent, sure. But I don’t think it’s as much as he thinks he has and all. I think he got too arrogant and likely stopped truly trying to evolve in SOME areas .

Idc what anyone says, if this beef never happened, Hot Uptown would be doing numbers. Not because its a good song, its not, but because its typical Drake shit that people used to eat up. Kendrick has permanently damaged his career and brand.

ken addressed everything drake said ...in visual form lol

The first time i was aware of the boxes was season 2 of The Wire

DeMar DeRozan is from Compton. Also Drake is 2 faced so it’s not hard to figure out why a lot of people that worked with him turn their backs on him. Look at the history of people that work with Drake as long as they are popping he is out there being best friends with them but soon as their hype dies down, Drake moves on to the next one.

I hate attending funerals 😂

Thank you! I wasn't getting all the references and I especially appreciate the tightrope walking explanation.

the font used for the title and the "directed by" at the end is also the font from Drake's album Honestly Nevermind

People finally seein Drake for what he truly is!💯💯

The owls perspective doesn't show bars.. the owl/OVO can't see the bars/cage. ANOTHER important angle! Is CRAAZY🔥🔥

Love from Africa, your channel is fire 🔥

We don't blame you with your initial reaction. Trying to be a good host for us and your boys will make you miss quite a bit

Bruh, That owl in the cage breakdown is AWESOME!!!! You are the only one that I have seen that took it to Dr. Maya Angelou meaning of that poem. Good stuff

Ak the only person willing to still ride Drake😂😂

Don’t nobody think the first part of the video was one of the 5 stocks he was on about? The whole video was shot after shot, why would the beginning be any different.

Kendrick is GOATED! 🐐

The truck crates have a double meaning. 1) sex trafficking. 2) the exportation of black culture. The hopskotch seen also has double meaning. 1) A play on Drake's grooming allegations. 2) The numbers on the boxes go up to 10. Signifying the number of diss tracks Kendrick still has left if Drake continues.

Stevie if you can't talk about it I will. For Demar to switch like that, he knows something based on the Meet the Grahams song. He isn't posing there behind shipping containers for no damn reason. Keep the family away! 😂

So glad you came back with an update 😊

Nah bruh we haven’t seen this kinda execution since “hit em up”. High key still waiting for those other 5 songs to come out. We gonna get one on Columbus Day, Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. We all Foreal were saying it’s gonna be a long as summer. Nah we all waiting on the death penalty the end of this year. This is crazy.

Another theory is the scene with KDot and Mustard. Kendrick is wearing a jacket with the date "8/8/24". This might mean and album, song, or video that will drop on that date.

ken dropped this on 4 of july and the colors of they shirts in the begining are red white and blue

I was waiting for your reaction. Didn't disappoint

Kendrick not smiling is him walking Drake down with his "poker face." Also u missed the dancer Kida the Great (hip hop dancer) who is from Sacramento, California.

Video is a masterpiece, this is why AI should not be allowed to step over the arts, if this wasn't made by human beings it wouldn't be half as powerful. 💯

So much ish going on in the video. I had to watch it a few times, too. It was the smirk for me😂

Yep. Them visual bars were hitting hard. Him and Dave Free dapping up at that container section when the song says "the devil is a lie" 👌🏿😭

This lady said on Joe Button podcast that it was black guys dancing in white boxes as Wheelchair Jimmy trying 2 export black culture.

Y’all didn’t see the rat coming out of the peineta?

West coast getting revived musically by Dot

Even the owl in the cage felt his energy...homie was looking 😦

Bro yesterday when I watched your reaction and you said the video was "mid" I was really confused and disappointed that you would say that because you seem like an intelligent brother but I'm glad today you clarified that basically you wasn't paying attention to all the details.👍🏿

Thank you for breaking this down the way you did. Much love ❤❤❤
