I still clicked on this video even though i have watched 100s of these already 😂

The empty chair in the dance class scene could mean that Drake didn’t attend “black culture school” 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

The dancing is called a cakewalk, which is something that slaves did to mock their masters at parties, and then it became something that the masters had them go to other plantations to do, and the prize would be a piece of cake. which is a double entendre because Kendrick going up against Drake was a piece of cake!😊

Kendrick has people thinking about words and visuals. He's bringing back what rap and hip hop are about lyrics, not just a good beat.

In addition to being a classroom, the room may also represent a court room, which would be in a court house in the previous shot. Since you have to be selected to be in a jury you have to know the password. Tommy the Clown is like the judge with the DJ booth being his bench. One of the 12 chairs is empty because we, the culture, are the final juror. The dancing back and forth in the colonizer/Atlanta part are the deliberations of the jurors going over the evidence. Then at the end the owl is in the cage because Drake's been found guilty on all charges.

Awesome breakdown! The biggest chess move for me, was Kendrick releasing the video while Drake and the industry were at Michael Rubin's annual White Party. While wearing all-white in the classroom and waving to the camera. 🐐 move 😂

The ripple effect of this song is crazy. This song actually has everybody using something no song made people use until July 4 2024, and that's thing is there brain. I hope people also notice how this song has brought so many people together in a odd way being that everybody is seeking the truth about Kendrick and Drake, and this video does just that. All of the subliminal messages has got the world trying to decode the meaning, nobody has ever done this and I'm surprised people actually took to net to try and understand the meaning of the song, because things have bee so dumbed down that people refuse to use that sponge between there ears. Not Like Us is that song that has the people thinking again and we want more. Real Hip-Hop is alive!

Dave free and Kendrick are also dressed similar to future and metro on the cover of we don’t trust you as well

The jacket really reads spring/summer collection. Everyone thinks the s's are 8's but they are not. That's the designers collection

Also I’ve seen someone else point out that each of the containers start with CB1 = Cell Block 1

He skipped over the 6 and 9 on the hopscotch grid 😂

That last comment about the owl bowing could also be an i guess triple entendre because drake also "bowed out" of the beef and didnt want to continue

That song is a wake up call to all!!! It is deeper that the opposition!!! He is speaking from a way deeper place!!!

I also heard the shipping containera are a reference to white gate keepers keeping us boxed in.

Drake compares himself to Michael Jackson. In the Not Like Us video, the painting is “off the wall” which is also the name of an MJ album. Plus, K Dot does not have Drake’s photo on the wall 😂

Someone suggested; 1) the building showed in the beginning was actually a courthouse, & 2) what appeared to have been a classroom was actually a 12 seat juror as that during a trial.

555 Is Also The Clothing Line That Drake Use To Wear On The Show Degrassi ...Kendrick Lamar Was Like A Surgeon With The Visual Points Made. 💯

555 is also chaotic and troublesome, the first number to hold both even and odd numbers , I was suprised to see 5 used

Kendrick driving a black Ferrari with red seats means more too (1) from Ransom - "Me and Weezy are like a mouth full of hot peppers. Black Ferrari with the red seats, I call it "playing checkers". I'm never doing verses, I'm forever giving lectures." Also, this is saying something like Drake may be first with it, but Kendrick is quality with it (2) The SF90 Stradale, which K Dot is riding, is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle that's the current flagship of Ferrari. The first flagship hybrid model for Ferrari was the LaFerrari, which Drake drives. While the LaFerrari is more expensive ($1.5 Million), the SF90 Ferrari ($700k) trumps the LaFerrari in performance. The LaFerrari tops out at 950 hp while the SF90 tops out at 986 hp, so the SF90 is faster than the LaFerrari. Also, while the LaFerrari came first and the SF90's technology came from the LaFerrari, the SF90 Stradale perfected the tech and ended up performing better for less.

The hey hey hey hey = fat Albert reference and the step this way step that way = R.Kelly

I would never get sick of this song

Hey Lexx! Lots of “REACHING” like it’s some dope on the top shelf 😆. The Whitney “wife-beater” shirt is understandable though 👍🏾.

Im sorry if someone already posted this. I heard the entire video is a court hearing of Drake's trial that begins in court and ends with him in jail.

One last thing. Drake said on push ups, you got my picture on the wall while you cook up. In the split screen with Kendrick doing push ups and rapping, the picture is turned around.

The jacket actually shows S/S 2024. I think Kdot in the suit looks more like the suite worn by R Kelly in his infamous interview

Good evening. I heard Kendrick and Dave were dressed like Metro and Future from their latest album.

Also when kendrick is woth kids they are learning and uplifted Drake just wants to lift them

Two other observations I have not heard mentioned yet🧐. 1. When Whitney dances to Drakes’ utter humiliation in this video it’s a reference to when Drake, speaking directly to Whitney (who, IMO, is the person that got dragged THE most in Family Matters) says “shake that ass, bitch, hands on your knees. Hands on your knees, hands on your knees. Shake that ass for Drake…” 2. In the final crowd shot when the camera starts to zoom in Kendrick is in the middle of the crowd 😍. He is surrounded by respect, acceptance, love, community, culture and heritage. That’s him figuratively saying, Drake you “know nothin' 'bout that”! 😂😂😂

Perhaps the black woman on a tightrope is homage to his wife and the role that black women play in maintaining culture --- it is a balancing act that we do well.

Great breakdown my guy 🫡🏁

They were dressed like future and metro 😅 It makes sense simply. They took a photo wearing clothes like that for “we don’t trust you” Which like that was on. Which kicked off the summer beef.

It is not about race but culture!! If you were not born in it you cannot truly speak on it!! Have to know your history to understand the deeper message!!!!

The Certified boogie clip of the Drake look a like being snatched up was a representation of God chosen one who is protected by God and who is also a L.A.👑 native too. Ask God.

The blue suit maybe for the suit HW wore to court idk . And the white suit and KDot waving because drake was at an all white party for the 4th of July .

When has there EVER been a Drake brake down of ANY of his songs🧐, I'll wait.😂😂😂

Informative video... appreciate the breakdown!! I finished this video at 411 and my like made 511!!

Also the owl’s wing is for sure broken. So it’s caged and useless…😂

Damn seriously kno body out there fcking with this dude he to deep n well versed n structured solid,he not allowing nothing or anyone to knock him off his square

Look up the definition of "Loverboy". When I found this out. It lowered my opinion of Drake even more (I didn't think this was possible).

The push up scene has a picture on the ground facing away from us. This is a response to Drakes line “I know my picture on the wall when y'all cook up.”

The structure that they are in at the video shoot is dedicated to Martin Luther King jr and it was made by Harold Williams an African American architect that has been in business for over 50 years. More Atlanta references for our culture

Great breakdown. These comments 🔥 especially the start to finish court/trial comment!!!

I change my mind about drake’s mistake: making the music video for family matters

Love your commentary.

I'M A OG AND JUST NOW WAKING UP TO HIM AND THE BEEF!!! SHIIIIIT!!! I'M JUST LOVING IT... MY FAM? TUPAC WOULD SAY!!!!! JOB WELL DONE...MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE BLESS....THE NEW BLACK AMERICAN AMTHEM!!!!!

That was REALLY well done! Definitely following you now!

ok. i had no idea who larry jackson was. this might be a stretch, but remember 'before you figure that you're not alone, ask what mike would do?' michael jackson was betrayed by his manager, dieter wiesner to the tune of several million euros. if larry jackson handles drake's money, it might be a connection.

Overlooked references: (1) after being granted access to the room, the room is set up classroom style which could be a reminder that Drake dropped out of high school and despite obtaining a GED his education was deficient in many areas. (2) from the angle of the camera the dancer appears to rise from a wheelchair which could be a hint to Drake being a child actor and reminding him once again his education is lacking so he should go back to acting.

The reason behind mustard sayin he didn't mean to wear the hat bc it's opposite of his...lets say "set" that he's affiliated with.

There are Soooooo many double/triple entendres in this video This man (to me) is a master of visuals! Got the people out here (including me) opening up conversations and having fun with it! AND he has a Pulitzer Prize ❤ look up the interview where PAC said, " I might not change the world, but I guarantee I'll spark the brain that will" Let's go KDOT!! 🔥🔥

Yes the song has spiritual under tones!!!

Awesome breakdown, bro

Also look at the history behind the knock itself. It’s referencing an old song from the 1800s about black neighborhoods that were deemed as dangerous to walk through.

I thought Dot said “I Mop Feet” meaning kicking A$$!

Actually, I think the beginning is a list the titles of songs that Drake stole lyrics from. Look them up individually and they are all songs from Rap artists.

Some great points

The 8/8/2024 on the jacket could refer to the Lions Gate Portal opening on August 8th. This is one of the biggest manifesting days in spirituality.

I think from the Owl's POV and the cage isn't visible, Drake is free but from Dot's POV (cage visible) Drake should be locked up!

They are actually in a room learning history, which is something that teaching to write and read with something that African-Americans were not able to do but they did it in secret

Also the two finger Ls dance kendrick did while singing about the little sister drake did that dance with a young girl no older than 16 looks even younger

I've pointed out on multiple channels that its the B Walk not the C Walk. LA gang culture where crips and bloods came to Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. I'm from Okc and it's been crip and blood sets out her since the early 80's. A lot of them started by OGs from California becoming outlaws in LA and had to escape and rebuild somewhere else. You can even google what states have the most crip sets outside of LA and Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas

I think you missed the picture off the wall while he was doing pushups a play on Drake line where he raps “ You got my picture on the wall while y’all cook up” on his pushup verse. Also Off the Wall is a classic Micheal Jackson album which Drake likes to reference. The picture is off the wall turned around in a corner with speakers pointing towards Kendrick displaying how Drake has been muted as Kendrick voice has been amplified.

Also, Tommy the clown saying 'you late' could be about Kendrick getting pressured to drop quickly and he didn't, he dropped on his own time...late

Juneteenth was the 🖤 not like us and 4th of July was the 🇺🇲 not like us

The Owl is a predatory bird/ animal that should be locked up. It means wisdom the more it sees the quieter it is.. but to Africans it means evil or death

The shipping containers are coded CB1 CELL BLOCK 1

The letter d is the 4th letter in the alphabet which the girl that passed him the bible had as a tattoo. The owl is also illegal to own in usa so it being in cage could mean we dont want u cuz u are not permitted ????

The TDE part is also mocking drake and games 100 video. The video Drake looked out of place trying to fit in when he doesn’t belong but with Kenny it’s natural he is at home with his family.

The picture turned around in the room is in reference to Drake saying his picture hanging on they wall when they cook up on "Push ups"

Whitney dancing for drake and Dave free like drake said

Probably mentioned before but the title Not Like Us could also mean Not Like U.S. You're not like America.

Looks like he knocked on the KZfaq Award

The G (gangsta walk) walk is recognized by the affiliation by theone who’s doing it. The Hoovers have a stomp to separate how theirs is done. Westbrook was doing the Hoover Stomp on stage as he was around a lot at the high school he went to.

13:30 I wonder why one seat was left empty. Of course K Dot seat but the seat in the back had to be intentionally left empty Also with K dancing in the corner. Going and standing in the corner is like a kids punishment

Kendrick beat that owl it look scared

The writing on the jacket is apparently S/S/24.

Woke up looking for (broccoli) weed bro, keep a (horn) gun on me 😂😂😂😂😂

KENDRICK SKIP OVER 6 DURING THE HOPSCOTCH

For all these drake riders, HOW as a DJ NOT KNOW MUSIC. DJ's spins the music right. So how a dj not see or hear a rapper repeating what other artists did years ago. And damn near if not every song drake put out. Dj.a

The family scene is house is referenced to Latoya Ruby Frazier “Fint is family part II Phone series the house is in Newton Mississippi . The part where drake was trying to sneak up on Kendrick n it pushed back Millie Bobby brown has those powers n stranger things

Dave free got at least 1B in the oven!!! These mfs together are GENIUESES!!!

in the hopscotch scene he skips the 6.. I mean y'all knwo why

Wop =10 wop is a dance and the fan on the ceiling

Woke up looking for the Broccoli 🥦...because there's no more beef left 😅 another interpretation perhaps

That intro is past records

At the shipping yard, I think KDOT is portraying a detective, he's on the phone while shaking hands with Dave Free who is in a " wife beater" also another angle, when Dot says how many stocks and 5+5 = 10 right? STOCK- TEN, It could be a reference back to John Stockton and the correlation to that is John's teammate use to be (I believe) was Karl Malone who impregnated a 13 year old girl (allegedly) when he was 20 😮

Rabbits do not lay eggs!! Chickens do!! See the fable??

Mustard is from a westside Blood hood called "The Jungles" - they wear the Toronto Blue Jay cap. In LA- sets wear different caps reppin what neighborhood they come from. The whole thing was a Blood affair Lamar - Westside piru compton. Top Dawg - Bounty Hunter Blood Watts Mustard - Black P Stone Blood LA.

seen a video where they broke down the whole intro and all those words are actually the names of albums Drake stole songs from .. another was when he did the hopscotch he skips 6

I haven't heard anyone talk about how 444 is known as "divine protection" in angel numbers, and it's as they're passing the Bible, so I think he's saying if God is watching he's protected.. something like that. I hadn't heard the one about Cancer season tho, but I love it, as a Cancer myself 😌🦀

On the A-MINOR lyric Kendrick is wearing a tshirt with an ape hanging from a tightrope. Later there is a woman dancing on the tight rope. Any ideas about the meaning???

Idk if anyone mentioned it already, but a rat falls out of the stomach of the owl after he beats it open lol

For the snippet, keep a “horn” on me means he keeps a loaded weapon on him (not a phone)

the compton courthouse was also in the real muthaphukkin gs music video as well seeing that this video was shot in compton and surrounding areas. also the blacked out face with the compton hat in the part where "drake" gets blown back may be a homage to easy-e....maybe a reach but this is kendrick everything is over analyzed more than a new trailer for a movie or a AAA video game

I’d like to know if anyone spotted the empty seat at the back & if you might know what it means

The jacket does not have a date it has two S/S for summer season for the brand martine rose which he wore multiple pieces from in the video

Idc what anyone says… he skipped over that 6 during hopscotch 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Drake has bought a house in Texas, do you think that he is going for his citizenship because it would be easier for him to get it there with the help JPrince who has friends and the government? He says that he is not going to do anything else for six months, which would be about the amount of time left. This is why I think that he is being so quiet because he cannot afford to have an investigation right now. What do you think?

Why are all containers white?

Horn could be a pistol…..”blower”
