"You not black on Juneteenth and you not American on July 4th" 💀💀💀
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Basically 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Juneteenth is for Black Americans not just any black group
@@shotzrangout Thank you for your input. I will reflect on this moment and strive to do better in the future.

Mustard grew up in the Jungles known as the Jays (Traing Day) and they wear bluejay hats drake being from Toronto was just the cherry on top
I was just about to say that... I don't even wear sports hats any more, because it means something everywhere out here
Facts. It hits harder as a diss because it's almost like saying "after you lost, our culture means more than your city or any of its symbols"
It's referred to as the village now not the jungle. FYI☮️
Mustard said in an interview that he just wore it because it was the only hat he didn’t sweat out. It just happened to be a blue jays hat LOL. So NO, it wasn’t that.
@@ceejay5588 we had an apartment complex called towngate racquet club... We called it the Ratchets. The name has been changed 3 times... People still call it the Ratchets.... But thanks for the info
Drake post beef has 3 flop singles. Drakes catalog will still be listened to but his new stuff isnt hitting. That new kdot snippet sounds fiiiire🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think drake wave is winding down of course his core fans will always like drake but his music doesn't sound like he's hungry no more when was the last time drake dropped bars . Kendrick refreshing Everytime because he takes so many brakes
@@marcusthegreat8710 Drake has 17 albums and endless features. I think Drake should retire😐
@@ENT8801 wont be allowed to
@@ENT8801he’s time isn’t his 😂 it’s umg time
@@marcusthegreat8710 yall dont even listen to drake to say wether he dropping bars or not lol
The video was a trial of Aubrey & his atrocities against hip hop .
Started outside the Compton courthouse & inside there where 11 jurors (clown dancers) + Kendrick = 12 Jurors
Ending the video an owl in a cage locked up. The cage bird sings.
Not only was Aubrey found guilty we only want him to sing moving forward.
wow 👌
“Making the video”was the best!
MTV news back in the day when it was actually respected
Kendrick is very intentional...nothing is by coincidence...
People brought up that Whitney was wearing a "wife beater" tanktop which I do think was a legitimate coincidence. If you google her name she seems to wear a lot of tank tops and it's a very west coast kind of style she was rocking. I think that theory is a huge reach tbh but I could be wrong. 🤷♂
Dj Mustard’s hat says Faith of a Mustard seed that’s his new album.
What’s your point? lol
@@justinwest317he said in an interview it was the only hat he had left at the time with “faith of a mustard seed” written on it. The statement has a lot of meaning to him since Nipsey came up with it and had asked Mustard to name an album that. He said in an interview he didn’t wear it intentionally and honestly the thought never crossed his mind. He just wanted to wear stuff that was special to him.
@@derpenaz5895right, some things are literally kismet… just lined up… cause God and good vs evil… 🤷🏽♀️
@@derpenaz5895 ty for making my point for me! Some ppl I just don’t get it.
It’s so good to see Meg getting her flowers. She’s been working!
Everyone's assuming Dot's new music opening at the start of the Not Like Us video is a sneak peek at a new album. But it could very well be a snippet of one of the five other disses he has in stock anytime OVHO wanna try him again😆
THANK YOUUUUU. Surprised more ain’t saying this
Yea but he’s coming with a new album though! This was a smart move on promoting his album. He has a Pulitzer award for a reason
"universal, please don't pay possum" -Kendrick mfkn Lamar, America has a problem. Beyonce remix.
19:08 For the shipping containers, it's also possibly reference to shipping/exporting black culture (shipping containers are white, the dancers are black) and it's definitely an aim at all the culture vultures
Came here to say the same but couldn’t have done it better. Agree 💯
The shipping containers are all white with black dudes dancing in and around them. Like how tiktok allowd white people to steal dances from brown creators and then makes them go viral?
All the serial numbers on those containers start with cb1...but your idea makes sense as well
He & Dave Free are wearing business suits in front of shipping containers - it’s clearly portraying an import/export business. The product sold - either black culture bc all white containers & all black people dancing inside. Or/and humans. Kendrick is of course very very intentional & meticulous. No coincidence with the containers & business suits!!!
He definitely intentional with those double/triple entendres even in his visuals.... Every time I've re watched it, I swear I notice something new 🤔🤔
Ain’t no way Apple Music out here dissing drake too 😭
Duh. This show is a Kendrick Fan show with Eddie leading the way.
Dr Dre is an Apple partner. Drake may have connections, Kendrick being connected to Dre puts Dot at that level.
Dissing? I thought they were just talking factoids, they seem like truth seekers to me
They’re just talking. Dis is short for disrespect - where’s the disrespect? It’s a mainstream rap news show. What else is happening in rap that is bigger than this right now?
Discussing the filming of "Why Can't Drake Get Up" isnt a diss
Please Lord! Let Kendrick Drop soooon!
Drake fans need all August to recover I think he drops in September
🗣️WOKE UP LOOKING FOR THE BROCCOLI 🔥🔥🔥
Ah man i can't wait😭☄️
Pg Lang for life
💯🔥
The knock comes from a menstrel show... Everything about K Dot is intentional. Even when he leaves things ambiguous, its intended to make you think about things differently.
Mustard said it in Big Boy interview he sweated his other two hats off, only had the blue jays hat 😂
I hope ya'll see this post. If Kendrick drops in August. For people that don't know in California and the California penal system it's call Black August. In 1970 a bay area court was raided by the BPP. Jonathan Jackson and several others were killed if George Jackson wasn't freed. Angela Davis was involved. Kendrick is culture and that month means
something. If this album drops bring this comment up. Peace and Blessings
Yup! The knock was 'Shave and a haircut two bits' from At a Darktown Cakewalk. Hella racist in origin and yet so ubiquitous =|
Drake started with Megan to be clear.
Every shipping container said CB1 on them for cell block 1 haha it was all on purpose
I really hope there’s a Megan X Kendrick song on Kendrick’s next album
😂😂😂😂NEVER
I hope so too!!! I can feel it 😅
No fcking wayyy
August 8th is a holiday our people have celebrated sense 1863 do your research family. Salute 💪🏿✊🏿 much love
Kendrick himself has said there have been fans that specualte things right on the money (to his shock) some that over reach and add new bigger meanings than he had even anticipated. Not trying to discredit him by any means as he truly proved to the world he is an artistic genius but having said that, there are sometimes some things that are not 100% planned as deep as some speculate. Personally ithink thats powerful in itself others can gleam so much and thus make his art bigger than himself. Its as this whole conversation has been the culture IS a part of Kendrick and he it.
I agree on a Megan & Kendrick collaboration..I would love to see those two great creative’s work & put something different out here for the streets..💯✌🏾
Thought about that ❤❤❤
TWO GREAT CREATIVES😂😂 KENDRICK YEA MEG NAW. SHE ONLY HAS ONE FLOW GET REAL 😂
@@MrSjd1967 who asked u…I said what I said & go play in grass 😒🙄
It escalated not because Drake is a big star. It escalated because Drake’s ego couldn’t handle KDot’s greatness, he didn’t understand the bars and he acted like a child and a bully, egging KDot on to drop drop drop. If he hadn’t done that it might have been a case of “Ether” which dropped 3-4 months after “Takeover”. We might’ve had to wait for the album to get a response (potentially to August 8th)
Jacket had nothing to do with a release date. SS/24 represents Martine’s Spring/Summer ‘24 line.
Big ups to Meg. She is underrated as an MC. Also, she represents the complexity of artists.
I had many friends who lived in the Jungles and they called it the "Jays"
Many won't get it....
Lokey use to be on IG live with the quickness when a Drake leak would surface with Rory talking about "I Got Them Exclusive Drake Joints That Nobody Has Pull Up." Man switched up like a Transformer 😂😂😂😂
Y’all remember “Making the video”? Good times
Throwback
Classic
The song is deeper than the surface!!! It is a wake up call to unity and knowing truth!!!! It is magnetic to many that never met Kendrick the vessel!!!!
I agree. I also feel like it’s a reminder to NOT treat guest/outsiders like family members. Everyone has their place and WE as ADOS are THE MOST loving, forgiving, and welcoming to the everyone, which has continued to work against us….
Shout out to all of you guys man, always super entertaining
Mark my words the Kobe Bryant X Kendrick Lamar interview will 100% be used as a interlude on Dot next album. Won’t be surprised if he intros the album with it 🤲🏿
People forget Drake and Meek beef and Drake going at him for well over 3 months shit it was damn near 2 years 😂ago
that was a martine rose jacket from the spring summer 24 collection
really great episode!!!
Why does everyone ignore the fact that Drake has always been a groomer. Why? That is a real question.
Real question!
‘ Stop asking question man you must think you nadeska’ 21 savage slapping
“By muhfuka I mean black queen” what a line lol
As a Drake fan, Not Like Us may be the nail in the coffin to an era that has already been in decline. It seems that many of Drake’s professional relationships appear to have soured for one reason or another. Also, the quality of his music and the maturity of the subject matter haven’t evolved much in the last 5 years. 2009 - 2024 is a respectable run, and Drake deserves flowers for all of the hits in his discography but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on The Masked Singer in another year or two.
The Masked Singer is a little early no?? 😮
Kendrick turned Drake into R Kelly 😂😂😂
Nadeska is so beautiful 😍 Grenadian beauty ❤🔥
N.W.A’s “Straight Outta Compton” also dropped on August 8th, so maybe somethin might be cookin around 8.8.24 👀
S/S is Spring/Summer 2024 collection by Martine Rose you dripless oldheads 15:44 lmfao
HOW DOES S S = 88 ?? THATS the wildest reach i've heard about any of these songs i swear hahahah
@@AaronLaZox Yeah its definitely a reach, but its been known Kendrick is a huge Kobe fan... Aug, 24 (8-24). With not like us being so west coast heavy, and feeling like that the direction he going with the album (possibly). So I wouldnt be surprise if he drops around that time.
pglang fooo
Kendrick’s isn’t collaborating with Meg anytime soon
I agree, there is no lyrical or energy connection with them at all, in my opinion.. lol
@@daphnethekool7115 Kendrick has jumped on tracks with Maroon 5, Robin Thicke and Imagine Dragons it's not that far out of the picture. Now none of them were particularly very good but he did them lol
Got featured on apple music 🤭
Love y'all
Finally letting Nadeska talk ... it's about damn time @AppleMusic
She needs to run the show tbh Ebro don’t be letting her talk 💀
She should def be the moderator of the convos. Otherwise she never gonna get her point out
@@jaleelthompson927 That's Facts!!!
Aug 8 is emancipation day it’s big in the south
👀‼️🫨🤯
Appreciate you guys❤🎉
J.Cole and Kendrick would have been more on the same level.
nah not close cole is lyrical but surface level lyrical his bars are easy to dissect Kendrick gives you layered lyrics even music videos Jcole has simple story videos Kdot has videos like rich spirit that can be broken down , No jcole album has ever been studied in Varsities
The vibes were immaculate today 😂😂😂 yall were so happy to see each other
So glad Ebro wasnt on this one! Was finally able to watch this vid all the way through
The jacket Kendrick wore doesn’t say 8/8 2024, it says S/S 2024 (spring / summer ) and if you look up SHRUNKEN TRACK JACKET in BLACK MULTI you’ll see it…. so no steak dinner for Lowkey 😂
13:19 Low was wildin 😂🤣
Yo, I was at Jhene Aiko's concert in south florida (it was great) and lemmie tell ya'll...the DJ put Not Like Us on and one of the loudest moments of the night was when it got to A MINORRRR. It was a roar. Keep in mind, that was Drake's core audience: under 30 girls and women. They were ONE in their singing of Not Like Us. That man is losing his core audience, and fast. Nevah have I evah seen someone as cooked as Drake is right now. His lyrics aged like milk and his whole brand smells funny.
16:07 - S/S 2024 is the season of the collection. It’s how they name their seasonal collections within the fashion industry. The designer is Martine Rose, who is a black female designer I believe in the UK. Her and Kendrick have a great relationship. He wears her clothes often.
Kung fu Kenny is so diabolical and I’m here for it 🤣😍
Nadeska trying to keep the peace with Drizzy 😂
Kendrick was wearing All White, Drake was at the All White Party on July 4th 😂😂😂😂😂
That's SS 2024 means Spring/Summer 2024 from the fashion designers line this year!!
Better find out what that blue jays hat mean in la .. 😂😂
26:06 you a fan you a fan you a fan F.A.N you a 69 God 😂
“Dry ahh potato salad” 😂😂😂
MGK is not Hip-Hop. We don't care about whatever genre he's doing nowadays
lol Nadeska knows she wants to say Big Sean 😂🤞🏾
the jacket kendrick wore was just a brand, but jt could allude to an album release cause he wore the shirt with “DAMN” on it in the humble video and nobody caught on until it got announced
Black August coming up IYKYK
Nadeska 🥺
We good on the Meg track, keep that
Bro really don't get why he wore the blue jays hat? I watched the intro and typed this, but that's like wearing you ops ish after they been handled. The ultimate diss.
where is the nadeska led radio show/podcast already??
7:37 shiiiiit 😂😂😂 Glorilla
I love how Low-key said "It's getting dark quick." The man said it like 3 or 4 times. 😂😏😜🤪
Soo still nobody knows the name of this big book opened up on the table???
Okay respect. Some good dude needs to show Glorilla some love!
The Toronto Blue Jay cap represents a wetside Blood hood in LA called "The Jungle" where Mustard grew up. Got three Blood sets rep'd by main players in video, uniting all sets.
Lamar - westside Piru
Top Dawg - Bounty Hunter Blood.
Mustard - Black P Stone Blood.
Didn’t hotel diablo come out like not anytime this year or last?
3:41 YES!! She went off on drake on HISS
Nadeska always killing Low 😂
Kendrick and Meagan would be great!!
lmao @20:05 Can't believe there's ppl out there that thought Drake was gonna win this, Insane 🤣
Congratulations to Kendrick for the W🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations Kendrick!🎉🎉🎉
U don’t have to call by childish gambino is an old mixtape track. And it’s fire 🔥
I heard the tight rope scene was in reference to Drake’s “Things Will Never be the Same” Album cover.
yall gotta do yall hw gambino did his version of U Don’t Have To Call he got a cover on STN/MTN
I had to change my view. I think Kendrick definitely wasn't gonna drop so soon but then he decided to go at Drake and he planned that all out before even dropping Like That with Future and Metro. He obviously planned the beef out so that must mean he planned the aftermath. And any smart artist would know to use this momentum to release new music. He isn't a normal artist which is why I thought he wouldn't. But.... That video makes me think otherwise
Crazy 2 dudes pullin up to a function bumpin Meg the stallion 😂
I legit laughed at this. Good one
Nadeska, is so fine! Also good points all y'all.
"Absent father kids turn out great." Drake didn't. 🤣🤣🤣
The NFL has been begging Taylor for years. She has said no.
August 8th is Emancipation day right?
0:41 hasn’t this album been out for like 4+ years?
How could you not highlight Lauryn Hill!!! REAL TALENT-CLASS-ICON
What with her one album? 🤣
Keep holding it down
That would be sick if cash money would perform on the next Super Bowl half time show. But something that would be better Nadeska would be Outkast and UGK
The serial numbers on the shipping containers all begin with "CB 1"... cell block one!
One thing I know about kendrick is that we will be getting his album in 2026 he moves on his own lane.
Before even watching, I bet they will protect their bosses asset by not bringing up credible allegations of predatory behavior over the course of years. Why inform the public about dangers to them? Cowards for a check
