Nah, that's Diddy. Kendrick is misleading when Diddy has been the predator. Kendrick has been a jealous ass from Compton, and he can stay there with all those tents on the freeways. Canada never looked so good.
The song bopppppss but truthfully, this is the only hard bar and scathing punchline in this entire song as a diss record. It’s a good bop but he’s not saying much and def not good as a scathing diss track that hurts Drake by barring him to death but that A minor bar is genuinely genius… though I thought drake rebuttaled and flipped it perfectly which earns a lot of respect for me as a huge fan of battle rap, it is crucial that you rebuttal your opponent’s hardest hits and he did it masterfully 👏🏽 “Easy-Duz-It (reference for Like That) You mentioning A minor, But niggas gotta B sharp & tell fans “who was it?” You thought you left D flat but D major, I’ll slit your throat with the razor and do Rick Ross like the one flight from Malaysia”
@@nerakar6562it doesn’t much much effort to find many instances where Drake was weird with minors. It’s an open secret drake keeps the company of minors and communicates with many.
@@nerakar6562Drake’s rebuttal of the line was awful. B Sharp doesn’t exist, unless he’s intentionally referencing the Simpsons which would be kind of clown behavior and definitely not a great response to being called a groomer lol
He also had a picture posted on instagram with Millie Bobby brown which he deleted he also had a photo with Hailey Bieber which he deleted it’s on the internet for proof
A lover boy is a man who seduces young girls and women and tricks them in to sex trafficking. The guys from the first Taken movie at the airport are “lover boys”. Google the term. You’ll find federal documents talking about the term and its relation to trafficking.
I think the "I see dead people" line also is because in the sixth sense (sorry this is a spoiler to those who haven't seen the movie) the dude the kid is hanging out with ends up being dead the whole time but he isn't aware that he's dead, which could also mean that Drake is already "dead" due to one of the previous diss tracks (the kill shot was probably meet the grahams). This is also saying that any comeback Drake comes out with will be irrelevant because he's already "dead."
Ya know, i really think that this is amazing. The fact that Kendrick can make this many shots at him with everything intertwined, and don’t forget, STILL MAKING A BANGER, is just crazy.
And Drake said something about B Sharp in heart p6..there ain’t no b sharp it’s just C, and the key of C is the same notes as A Minor 🤣🤣 you can tell Drake wrote that one
The "I see dead people line" hit me mostly as a slam on Drake's multiple accusations of hiring ghost writers, stating that his diss tracks were likely written by them too. IMO
The John Stockton line does refer to Karl Malone and the fact that he is a paedophile, but also Drake is a friend of Karl Malone and they posted a pic together last year, so it cuts a lot deeper than a simple Malone reference.
That Terence Crawford line carries over into everything. Anyone who've seen TC box knows TC starts slow, downloads his opponent, figures him out and beat hisass for the rest of the fight. Kendrick started slow people thought he was losing then he started popping Drake then went in to combinations and finally knocked him out.
Not Like Us is on pace to debut at #1 with only 5 days of sales and streams, and it's not even close. Drake's entire thing is that he has the biggest numbers, and Kendrick still won.
@@user-rvhbd You can easily flip that and say First Person Shooter only hit #1 because he talked about Kendrick. It was in a pretty dead heat with the Yeat song.
5:44 the line "and I won't pass the Aux" is referring to the act of passing the Aux cord to someone else when you're in the car or otherwise playing your music on the speakers everyone is listening to. Meaning, he's not willing to give D. the chance to release a response record to his last song before releasing another diss track. And this time it's a Banger! Like 'Meet the Grahams was the left jab and this is the combo right cross to knock 'em all the way out! This is a Great video; I'm not trying to correct anything. You've done an amazing job; I couldn't have done this great of a job by half.
Apparently an "Ox" is also slang for a razorblade used as a knife in prison and the tradition of using one to mark a child sex offender so they will be identified as such by other prisoners. A reference to what Kendrick did to Drake in this song.
ive never listened to Kendrick or Drake before but i had to for the beef. Kendrick is actually really good, his lyrics are next level smart. I'll need to listen to some of his other stuff cz he might genuinely be up there as one of the best
Missed another layer of the sweetchin music won’t pass the aux/ox Ox is prison slang for a blade,they used to mark pdf with a scar to identify them,he saying I’m gonna mark this one and i won’t pass it off as well And to add on to the Brett hart aspect his nickname is the hitman drake is a hitmaker and Brett lost his belt to Shawn Michaels against his will in the Montreal screw job Next level rapping
Also Shawn Michaels was famous for using a drug beginning with ox but I can’t remember what its called 😂 could be wrong but I swear I heard this somewhere, my bad in advance if I’m talking outta my ass
@@airbornejay4962 that’s your opinion what makes his understanding more valid then mine? Just because you don’t have the knowledge to catch all the references of the bar doenst mean it’s not true..is Brett hart Canadian? Was his nickname the hit man?

@@greengomarx1248 1000% agree man.. airborne sounds like a massive drizzy fan.. so much shit went over my head and I’m a massive kdot fan, mainly bcos of his word play and lyrics.. but yeah.. I agree brother 🤙🏾
also Amber Lamps can also be play of word for Amber Alert which is an alert of child abduction - so this lyrics be saying that ( the part : call Amber Lamps) means that Drake is a child abductor in this lyrics also
OK, that just broke my brain. This song is a masterpiece, seriously. It has sent me down an entire genre of music that I've surface listened to over the years but never really gone down the rabbit hole with and I'm so invested now.
Best break down diss track ever with sources and pictures to back it up, wow! Kendrick Lamar should pay this guy for his contain to be used as his video!
When they come out with the Kdot class at the big universities perhaps they will invite the guy who made this content. IJS. If Beyoncé got a class Kdot’s class will be coming soon to a college in Cali near you…😂😂
Batshit crazy. Y'all are going to get Kendrick locked up. You can't incite violence and spread a rumor like that with no consequences. And y'all are egging it on with stupid conspiracy theories.
@@95szn It's true, Drake acts like he a street dude, we all know he a soft mamas boy that grew up in a rich jew area, never struggled a day in his life but acts like a thug. He fake as hell
The Oakland reference when he said “go” he was playin off the Tell Me When To Go record 40 and Keak Da Sneak had. Then he said “the audience not dumb” referencing the bay go dumb go stupid hyphy era but using it as a play on words. Very clever! They Not Like Us!
@kirbstomp96 I'll get very defensive if my kdot knowledge is tested, been a fan for 12 years now and autographed copy of damn vinyl is a prized possession of mine lol
This is also a direct reference to Euphoria Am I battlin' ghost or AI? N**** feelin' like Joel Osteen Funny, he was in a film called A.I. And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him
no wonder why he won a nobel prize this is insanely stacked poetry with literally layers of meaning attached to every single line, if i was drake and i heard this i would have been crushed because not one single beat or line in the song was missed to target at him. kendrick is crazy talented…
Also that "b##ch ain't you tired?" Line could refer to Alibeens dialogue in "The Help" when she confronted Mrs Hillys cruel deeds. Considering when Alibeen went off saying, "You only scare and lie just to get what you want"
At the end of the "Not Like Us" music video, the owl trapped in the cage means that Kendrick has authority over Drake. I also think that this is a symbolizes the poem "Caged Birds" by Maya Angelou because one verse of this poem says, "but a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing." In this case, Drake is the bird who is trapped in the cage, suffering, and can only sing. Kendrick walks away, while the owl stays caged. I know this isn't related to the lyrics, but I wanted to mention it, not only because I saw it on a Reddit post, but also the fact that I read the poem and got my personal take from this scene.
fast concise well underlined with pictures nice video, thanks man! (not at all into rap culture and all the songs and beefs and references, appreciate it!)

The "A Minor" line gets even funnier if you know music theory.

2:22 Fun fact! Drake had a picture on his instagram with himself and Karl Malone, which he deleted shortly after this song was released.

I always thought that certified lover boy album cover was weird…you not hiding kids but made a album cover with several pregnant emojis all over it
One of the many contradictions.
I remember pointing ts to someone on twitter.. they thought I was just being biased and finding a reason to hate on him. I wonder where that mf is now
yh but why would he do that
A lover boy is a man who seduces young girls and women and tricks them in to sex trafficking. The guys from the first Taken movie at the airport are “lover boys”. Google the term. You’ll find federal documents talking about the term and its relation to trafficking.
It’s also a reference to him being a pimp. A lover boy is a type of pimp, hence the cover.
