“keep a horn on me, that KAMASI” is the lyric. KAMASI WASHINGTON played on TPAB. he grew up with TERRACE MARTIN
Ahhhhhh thank you 1000%%%%
Who is Terrace Martin?
and fun fact, kamasi washington gave terrace martin a selmer mark VI saxophone that once his grandparents played
@@dogu5483 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@PrincipalSkinner3190huge part of Kendrick career. He’s worked on most of his albums and is in the studio with him now for the next album
Whitney is MVP for eating that walk
Yeah. That was really a great part
she legit got the hardest walk i’ve seen since he dropped the track !!
Hit that joint clean as hell 😂
Whitney and the kids dancing was my favourite part❤❤
Yeah that was crazy.
That kills Family Matters’ narrative
Yes !
Kendrick doesn't do anything half-assed. Damn. That video was dope.
Facts
Love Kendrick but he does push ups half-assed! 😂
That video wasn’t DOPE.
Moment of silence for the owl at the end 🤣❤️
eeeek
That shit was sad bruh lol
@@RobMarkmanKendrick Lamar is the new Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦
The owl is locked up because it’s a predator and also because caged birds sing so there the snitch angle too.
It’ll take more than that for kendrick to end drake career, buddy
Whitney stole the show for everybody
Facts
he dropped it while friends and families are having cookouts, etc. An avalanche of videos of people dancing and shit is coming
Word lol
The family dancing scene with the kids tugged at my heartstrings for sure.
🥲
Why? 😂
@@TheDifferenceCHI Something about seeing a happy family together. Don't know what it is but it is a beautiful sight to behold.
@@mildmayheadless5217 do u have the same emotion for Drake in the 8am in Charolette video?.. that brought a tear to my eyes watching Drake n his kid in that powerful scene with the “hate survivor” message on the clothes… so powerful so impactful always ahead of the curve drake. Standing ovation
@@TheDifferenceCHI Definitely a sweet moment when Adonis writes 'Daddy Goat' at the beginning of the song and very cute when he's drawing.
I think Kendrick is fully aware he has the moment right now it has to be an album otw 🤞🏾
I hope an album is on the way. I’m not so sure
Yeah idk if an album is coming but if not, we have a small EP from the songs he dropped. Plus I’d rather dot take his time with an album than just drop something right after the beef
@@RobMarkmanKDot did 17 push ups
He did that for a reason I believe he symbolizing Drake and under 18 which is why he only did 17 push ups it was symbolic
@@hoc1992 I would accept that as well but i wouldn’t be mad if Dot was so inspired he said forget the deep concepts and just rapped lol never seen it before would be interesting
If an album comes he could very well drop it on August 5, 2024. The one year Anniversary of the Mississippi River Brawl with the chairs when Black people came together. If he is about black unity that could be a great POP OUT DATE to drop an EP or Album about unity. His current trajectory is on fire right now. Cease the moment because it's your worldwide Time. ❤
Bruh Kendrick really an example of “show don’t tell” when it came to discrediting Drake’s allegations. Signs of a true artist
Nah he’s fake
@@Foe_KREALOFFICAL Drake? Yes
@@Foe_KREALOFFICAL you think Whitney is faking it? Multiple people have confirmed they all still live together in the nyc apartment and she now confirmed it by being with him. They’ve also all been seen together and captured on camera. So no it’s not fake, the rumor was made up. Btw the kids look just like him lol those are his kids
@Frogee8495 🧢
They both tried to discredit any allegations they said. Don't necessarily make it true what they said or what they dispelled.
We don't know these ppl, so we gotta take it with a grain of salt. Of course we know certain things to be true, so it is what it is.
Shout out Dave Free and Kendrick on the visuals, they always give us dope videos!
True
This will win a Grammy for the best rap song. The Grammys love Kendrick and this song has motion.
All signs pointing that way
I hope he yawns as he walks to the stage to accept the award.
@@smilezuplame. Yeah cuz that’s what Drake did on heart part6 .. yall fanned it out … made it into some crazy allegation shit n how was Drake supposed to respond?.. shoot a video n have all the accusers who’ve already cleared up how Drake was nothing but polite them n yall running things way too overboard… bro I yawned at that concert n yawned at this regular ass video.
Kendrick doesn’t look natural gloating… he just doesn’t look like he’s pulling the strings but Compton out the battery in his back
@@TheDifferenceCHIWhy aren’t you streaming Camila or Heart Part 6? You don’t find Kendrick entertaining. That’s cool. Until now, I never found male rap entertaining. It became too much of them calling women out of their names and show casing video Hoes (not vixens). I haven’t checked out Drake, because I know I wouldn’t like his constant disrespect of women and female teens. So I don’t go on videos about him to tell his fans that they have no taste, morals, or respect for themselves or others. Why do you discount ppl who feel differently than you. You RedPill ppl are ass.
Most importantly, Rob, we are all proud of you. Not only because of the mature smart fair and real hip hop criticisms. This is what we supposed to do. Discuss debate respectfully. I've been following you for years, and this may be the perfect platform for you to connect with your audience. Today's hip hop journalism needed this cause it's been disheartening. Congrats, bro.
They not like YOU.
Wow. Thank you. For real.
Yeah it’s over but I need the Snippet at the start of the video IMMEDIATELY
right. drake gotta take one for the team and drop one more so we can get that jawn asap. that beat sounded crazy
@@butchske5471don’t think that track has anything to do with drake tbh. Sounds like a snippet from the next album
@@Jimmyjones151 i hope so honestly but i took it as a warning/proof theres more in stock. but i hope you're right and i am wrong truly.
FR. That shit was 🔥
@@butchske5471What that gotta do with Drake?? Kendrick got an album coming out.
I hope he drops “US.” as an EP, with hella LA artists.. then drops a full length concept album, like he normally do.. basically like how Drake did FATD then Scary Hours 3… album + EP combo would go craaaaazy 🔥🔥🔥 headshots for the year!
Not gonna lie is was getting tired of not like us…. And now I’m back…. Lmaoooo
Lmaooooo for real??
Same lol. Video is fire
The 🦉 in the cage. What a visual. Btw the timing of this vid- Rob quick on the upload! 🎥 📸
But drake shooting a video first with 3 separate tracks getting at 100 ppl … n symbolically crush GKMC Van means nothing huh?.. yall so quick to prop up someone else n discredit another persons run… bro this dude drake was going nuts … yall just certified haters waiting to see bro go down but been up 15years legacy cemented lol
@@TheDifferenceCHI the amount of male groupies on BOF sides is unbearable. 😑 😩 good day sir.
@@TheDifferenceCHI My guy... Is it possible that people who are commenting on this video about Kendrick's video just enjoyed the video and commentary.
Does it have to be assumed that we all hate Drake or didn't like his video, because we liked the Not Like Us video?
The Family Matters video was dope. I also said that when it dropped. I'm sure other people did as well. But it makes no sense to come on a totally different video a month later talking about how dope the Family Matters video was bro.
It's ok man. You're a Drake fan. We get it. Family Matters was a good song and had a good video bro.
@@Braillionaire 😂
Bro in the "certified boogieman" scene looks like he's wearing the Toosie Slide fit. He has the ski mask on and the dark tapes vibe fit.
Feels like a direct reference to not being able to "toosie slide your way out of this one."
Yall running wild with the speculations lol aye must be nicer when the fans get to play Batman n make up the story for u. I guess how legends are talked about. But yall just believe anything n got the confidence to regurgitate it back into the universe is wild 😂
@@TheDifferenceCHI Bro what? This is a diss song about Drake right? Wouldn't it make sense to have a character that looks like Drake getting snatched up? We saw the Drake video right? The guy in the video who gets snatched up looks like Drake did in the Toosie Slide video.
I mean, I didn't know this was some conspiracy level stuff to put someone who looks like the person you're dissing in the video for your diss song. Lol
I don't know if that was his intention, but I don't actually have another explanation for some random guy being snatched into thin air in the middle of the music video lol 😂
Kendrick's fanbase is called ken folks
lol. Thats fun
Fire... Kenfolks.
Crazy how one video dismantled all of Drake's biggest angles. Its like Dot said on Euphoria: "Fabricating stories on the family front cuz you heard Mr. Morale"
Bro the song is about a bunch of allegations as well but yall pick n choosing what u wanna believe.
U kno how embarrassing it would be for Kendrick his fiancee n Dave free n top nem to not look linked in. But in a world where an enemy of my enemy is my friend … they were never gonna not publicly stand next to Kendrick whether it was true or not.
@@TheDifferenceCHI Crazy we're still debating this under a Rob Markman video when my nigga doesn't partake in the gossip aspects of this beef but I'm gonna outline the difference for you: allegations from one party has a lot of circumstantial evidence at varying points in their career that lend credence to the angles, while the other party's does not. I fw both heavy and have listened to Drake more than I have Dot in my life, but he was grasping at straws. He should've stayed on his bully angle where he could've stated aside from numbers, the actual SOUND of hip-hop has been shaped by him and he's not only the more influential artist, but he put on artists who otherwise wouldn't have been successful without him. Instead, he decided to attack the man's wife and take talking points from Twitter being the chronically online person that he is. I still don't understand how someone as successful as him lost confidence in the initial stance he had taken at the start of the beef. In his own words, "A wise man once said nothing at all", yet he went on to defend such accusations. The Pusha beef really made him think that we care about gossip when in actuality, it was the start of a deconstruction of Drake's character which Dot ended up concluding.
Drake gon' be alright in the end though, (assuming there's no truth to Dot's allegations).
@@TheDifferenceCHI Exactly. Someone that uses their brain and common sense. Thank You!
@@TheDifferenceCHI homie the words of these men don't carry equal weight. One man is rooted in himself, his community, his art, and his healing while the other is a colonizer who uses Black culture for his own benefit and has a concerning, and lengthy history of grooming underaged girls.
So whose words should I take at face value? The words of a predator, or the words of a man who's done the work to heal his inner demons?
@@jayc5756 see my previous reply homie.
Your not reaching with the “are you my friend..are we locked in?” Kendrick did say in euphoria “I hate the way you sneak diss” Drake has been dissing Kendrick for years but in a way that only Kendrick will know.
Shouts to the stain on ur shirt from the BBQ lol🔥🇺🇲💯
Haha yall be noticing. I didn’t even notice lol
@@JOESPILLZ Hahaha you got sniper vision
2:10 the snippet is FIRE! I hope it's a full song!
Me too
I agree that having Whitney and the kids wasn’t necessarily NEEDED, but they’ve been included when it matters and makes sense (Whitney narrating on Mr Morale, the family on the cover of Mr Morale, Whitney cameo-ing in the Count Me Out video). It wasn’t needed, but it fits the purpose of the video and honestly, it was one of my favorite parts, along with seeing Dave Free pop out haha
For sure. I just hope, if it’s Whitney’s wish to go back to being out of the spotlight that she can do that.
@@RobMarkman Agreed.
@KidTeddi, me too! Absolutely one of my favorite parts. For me, one of the most important things about Whitney being there walking on Drake is that it’s HER chance to respond to him. Not only did he accuse her of having a child with her man’s best friend but she also may have been disgusted by Drake telling the world she’s being abused and then making fun of the abuse. He said her name in THREE of his songs. Because he treated “her abuse” like it was a joke, so did all of his obsessed fans. Drake made her public in a way she’s never been before. I would’ve wanted to walk him down too!!!
That’s why I loved that even though the whole family danced, Kendrick also sat on the couch for Whitney to have her own moment of retribution. Her own “keep MY name out your mouth” 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Rare modern moment where culture beats commercialism. Great reaction bro!
Love
@@RobMarkmanwhat? 😂 when has culture ever lost a battle lol ppl just be saying anything 😂
Man I appreciate you approaching this with an open mind and not being biased!
I appreciate you checking in. Peace!!’
Yesss good timing Rob! I see the grind. Always interested in your thoughts.
Love
Shoutout for the continued analysis!! One thing I haven’t seen people talk about, in the scene where Kendrick is doing push-ups in the jail cell, there’s a portrait that is turned towards the wall that we can only see the back of. I wonder what people think could be on the other side of that canvas or what that represents? Thanks again for your content Mark!
I don’t usually comment on YT vids but man you are killing it love your work for years man 💪🏼
The way you have covered this Rob has been phenomenal!
The fact that he dropped it on this day! 🤯 this guy puts so much thought into everything he does!
Great job with getting the video up so quickly! You didn’t have to but definitely appreciate the hard work!
I appreciate y’all watching and caring what i have to say.
No
I think it was a great video and glad to see his family. KDot really put thought into this video. My personal opinion is this beef is no where near the end between the two artists. My wish is it continues to stay on wax and does not spill into the streets.
Maybe I’ve watched too much of the show The Wire… but if Kendrick is the diabolical genius that I think he is, then those scenes with the shipping containers sent a HUGE message!! 👀👀
A hidden but not so hidden message… Shoutout to season 2 of The Wire 😐
thought the same thing
@@estherlael81 I’m surprised more people haven’t caught on to that!
No
My boy thought the same thing. He hit me and said Dot hit every season of the wire in the video!
explain!
I think the "Certified Boogeyman" scene was callback to middle section of Drake's Family Matters video.
Possible!
I thought the dude who got yoinked was supposed to look like Drake from Dark Lane Demo Tapes
That’s how Drake was dressed in the Tossie Slide video
@@roachdoggjr4648 This was my interpretation too. It's drake from Dark lane demo tapes
When Ken said that he learned that people don’t like the West Coast and when you hear West Coast people coming and saying certain things. It definitely has validity, especially when it’s coming from someone from California( WE KNOW). Our music does not get the same love that southern New York gets that’s a fact. Producers say the beats they sell the least are the West Coast ones. Our music is not highlighted in the same fashion. I travel all around the world I have to go and ask the DJ to play certain Cali songs. I always get the stink face. So we don’t literally mean people do not like us, but our sound is not received the way other sounds are received and that’s not a lie. That’s what they mean by that
Well certainly, Kendrick, Roddy, YG… damn near anything Mustard produces gets play in NY. It’s true more of the upcoming, or more local artists don’t, like Blue Bucks, Greedo- that hasn’t reached here yet. But it’s the same way; a lot of the local NY artists don’t get played in Cali or ATL (think groups like 41) … but that’s just my perspective
@@RobMarkman that’s definitely valid. Two things can always be true. 💯💪🏾 keep up the great work & open dialogue! We love it
Kendrick also mentioned Tam’s in an interview with Nardwuar when he was asked about it. Thought it was cool for him to include that in the video too.
Word!
Rob got that mustard stain on his shirt 😂 no pun intended
It’s BBQ sauce 😭😭😭😭
And the watermark ? lol
mustard on the tee ho!
@@RobMarkmanmy boy was eating good at the cookout lol
I think it's from the Control response when Kendrick said his friends/peers understood where he was coming from on that verse.
To think this all could have been prevented if Drake didn’t take Control personally 🤣
Lot of imagery in this video…well done
Yeah. They did their thing with the imagery
I think "Are you my friend, are we locked in. Then step this way" I feel that's a subtle nod to J. Cole.
I always love hearing your perspectives! Keep them coming! ❤
Much love.
Drake did a video for Family Matters. Tell those twitter people to hush!
boom
These are facts
If Drake won the battle and had #1 record from it, he would of milked the HELL out of it.
As he should if he did lol
*won
Yep
He never shot a video for back to back n he doesn’t even perform the song after the beef settled n I never listen to back to back … never saved it on a playlist on dsps.. it was a moment n he went on a run after his victory that cemented him at the top.
Drake never milked a diss song. He dropped it and kept it moving. He didnt even perfom back 2 back or any other record on stage nor made a video. He handed kendrick biggest moment after 15 years
“DIRECTED BY DAVE FREE AND KENDRICK LAMAR” all caps at the end Kendrick petty 😂
If that snippet is what the album will be like 💨💨💨 it’ll be something special. Him leaning into the west coast sound would shoot it into the national spotlight
Rob had me blinking and rubbing my eyes for two minutes, damn near calling my ophthalmologist before Is saw the comments about the watermark. I thought I was seeing a big ass eye floater. 😄Another awesome video.
Lmaooooooo my bad
First time viewer, I thought it was gonna be a watch, but I enjoyed your thoughts and commentary.
I never did a watch before. I gotta explore that. Do they demonetize you when you stream the video too? I wonder. I gotta investigate
Keep killin man 💯
Bro.. that scene with him and Whitney C Walking with the fam is haaaaaaaaard! I just know that scene made Drake throw a glass at the wall lol just makes that line about "we hate the b*these you f*ck" go even harder. And that's what makes Dot great. The lyrics age like a fine wine.
Great take 🎉
Love
K Dot just serving five star pettiness. Flipped the whole family matters videos and then elevated all the rebuttals. If this doesn’t cement his crown for this era alone…
Also note there’s two scenes with the owl: first owl doesn’t perceive a cage, second shot shows he’s been in a cage
Well, Drake kept telling Kendrick “drop, drop, drop, drop” and Kendrick dropped him. Ask and you shall receive😭.
For real lol
If you’re an American Drake fan at this point 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ reevaluate your life.
Drake got maaaaaaaaaad American fans. Thats not gonna change man
@@RobMarkman mad Americans need to reevaluate their lives.🤣
I be hangin out at Tams I be on Stockton ion do it for the gram I do it for Comptonnnnn
There you go. I was drawing a blank
Good content all around. Would be cool if you touched on that region topic and the history of it in a video from your perspective of where we are now and how regionalism is important
Haha don’t get me started. I have THOUGHTS on that. Maybe i will do that video soon
Kendrick hasn't done a teaser like that before. It's a song previewing the reincarnated version of Kendrick. It's going to be exciting to see how he grows after going through therapy.
That was FAST!
Working.
I NEED that new song. That shit went so hard.
They disrespectful fucking up Kamasi’s name . That boy got grammy’s with that sax
Nah i missed that. Definitely know of Kamasi Washington. Just heard it different
@@RobMarkman Good news .
Yes, it's definitely over. Props to them for saving hip hop.
That Black & white scene with Kendrick standing there was a reference to the scene from matters when Drake started rapping on the Drill beat. And the guy that ran up behind Kendrick was dressed exactly how Drake was dressed on the cover of Dark Lane Demo Tapes
Ppl don’t even realize. That font is from HONESTLY NEVER MIND ALBUM
Crazy
That scene from the guy sneaking on him. Looks like a scene from family matters.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Good catch
I’m not sure how people were getting tired of not like us. We move on too fast and never really digest the bodies of art anymore. We used to have video premiers months after the singles have come out. I’m really still on euphoria. Watching tons of reactions to it. I loved when vh1 had a show giving facts and Easter eggs to videos this beef has excited me back to UA-cam and long form content with watching breakdowns etc.
Vh1 pop up video was fire
I didn’t even get the friends part at the end. Knowing how deep of artist he is I would not be surprised if there is any significance.
I’m sure there is. Just can’t put my finger on it
I don’t think the beef is over at all. I’ll wait to see what the fallout is first.
We’ll see!
Blurry nose and sauce on the white Sox logo . This lets you know how RAW Rob is when he speaks his mind . We need this 🙏🏽💜🔥
You don’t know how much those lil mistakes are killing me right now 😫😫😫
@@RobMarkman humanizes you bro . Perfection ain’t a thing anymore . Just appreciating the content and the honesty in your points .
@@iSoo0Hidda respect
I think you were referring to Element for the Tams reference
Yup. I drew a blank. Thanks!!!!
Just cause ppl showed up to his video don't mean they picking sides bro. Cmon now.
Rob working OT lol
Feel me?! lol
Interesting theory on the line "Are you my friend? Are we locked in?"
Always thought there was some missing context to that part
“Mr. Get Off, I get off and mop feet” is the lyric 1:24
Word!!
I counted 17 push-ups, he tryna say drake can't go beyond 18 being a pedo😂
now i want the REMIX!!!
Watching Drake fans go delusional has been the BEST part of this beer 😂
We gotta cut the reverb in your sound man. Youre going in and out hard to change the volume to keep up. But i love you content and perspective
I’ll see what i can do there. Much love
I wonder why there's a blur moving around Rob's face lol..
Messed up in the edit
Anyone catch the Dark Lane Demo Tapes reference?? That person that got yoinked had the same outfit Drake had on the cover
Hmmmmmmmmm 🤔
The owl the cage it all has a deeper meaning to it Dave free and Kendrick creativity is crazy
What’s your read on it?
Cage birds can only sing 👀
I’m glad Kendrick dropped a calculated artistic gem because even I was getting a little tired of the song (which I’m a huge fan of) and the pop out show was more than enough. But the video takes it over the edge
If I’m not mistaken, that first joint samples When I Hear Music by Debbie Deb🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ima go back and see. Nice catch
Rob, DeMar DeRozan is from Compton. So of course he rode with the "home team"
Yeah for sure. But showing up in the video was really a choice morseo than popping out on stage. Lol
Awesome content! What type of camera do you use btw?
Sony A7s ii
The boogeyman line scene reminded me of the bet cypher with tde when he said “tuck the sensitive rapper in with pajamas clothes” background like they did that on purpose
They saying the boogey man scene with dude in the ski mask is Drake from his dark lane demos cover lol
That font looked like a play on the don't Drake used for honestly nevermind. Dave free did send that tweet about Drake dropping that album on Kendrick's birthday.
The more I think about it, the more it looks like Dot was trolling Drake knowing he would be at the Mike Rubin White party.He says "The industry can hate me, f----em all and they mama" Its a double entendre looking like a straight jacket, but also having a password to get in and Tommy the clown at the dj booth like its a party full of clowns. Saying Drake rather be famous than being of the culture. Dot and Dave Free are Diabolical together.
I don’t know if Dot was specifically thinking about the white party, but overall that’s just who Drake is. Hes the guy that’s outside at all the parties. Around mad celebrities.
Dot isn’t like that. Doesn’t seem to value that. So it’s more of a character call than specifically talking about a specific party
3:31 They do that same airbrush T-shirt style in the hoods of Chicago
Rob out here with his figer to the pulse. Quick with the upload.
Too quick. But i love the way yall show up for me.
@RobMarkman we love showing up man. Always worth the watch.
The 4th only made sense, I knew it had to be today, I was getting a little nervous though I stayed up till 12 tryna see😭 I should have known he would have waited till the middle of the day
I hope this isnt a rerun of the Alright video and that we actually get to hear the entire song that was previewed 😂
I also read (on Genius annotation) that his upcoming album will be called Mr. Get Off, but I’m not sure if there’s any confirmation to that alleged title
I feel like you might be onto something with the "friend" lyric. When I first heard it on Not Like Us, it stood out as weird for sure. I would've expected him to do more bars of OV HOE chant there. The friend lyric feels significant
Deep cut reference, notice how in the cell where Kendrick is doing push ups he has a picture off the wall on the floor, in Push Ups Drake claims they have his picture on the wall while they cook up music, Kendrick dismisses this with an unseen canvas on turned around, ignored lol
Rob you the 🐐
We! It’s a we thing. I’m only as good as the community around me.
Kendrick strategy genius needs to be studied. Video powerful, fun and well constructed. This is Kendrick's year for sure!
People don’t realize that drakes label probably came to him and told him not to push it any further. They own his music and just invested 400m into him and he has huge Nike deals and stuff, I genuinely don’t think Drake is allowed to respond in this beef anymore😂
I don’t necessarily believe that
Stop the cap
@@RobMarkman I believe the caged owl at the end says a lot. That’s just my takeaway from it though
🔥✨️
I think it's "high key keep a horn on me, that Kamasi" as in Kamasi Washington, the LA based saxophonist.
Why is it a blur over my man’s nose 😂😂😂
I goofed in the edit
He daps up Dave Free in the video also
Yeah. Right after the Demar scene.
It's a good vid
Yeah it was funn
