The Hidden Meaning's In Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us Music Video

The date on the jacket Easter egg is wrong, says “S/S season”. Jacket from martine rose collection, look it up

If he was referencing Maya Angelou’s Caged Bird Poem - then it sounds like he’s saying Drake is going to sing on everybody involved in the trafficking once it all comes to light.

Hey Jeremy 👋 if you do sum more research, there's a video going around of drake with a young girl doing the exactly same hands movements that kendricks is doing on that push ups scene

why do you have an apostrophe in meanings

The photo / painting / portrait being flipped to the wall in the cell scene has a meaning also.

It's crazy that Kawhi brought the raptors to winning their first chip, he came home too lol

Whitney🩸Walking

You nailed it ....It's important to know the difference between C walking and B walking (Whitney) if you wanna know

You missed the hand signs Kendrick was making during the cell block shot. The heart and 2 Ls with both hands while saying the verse "hide your little sister from him". There's a viral tiktok video of drake dancing with a young girl while making the same L signs

The shipping containers painted White is also a metaphor for our culture being whitewashed! Hence the dancers dancing in them and around them. And the tightrope woman scene was a connection to the early scenes from Tommy and his crew, prison, shipping containers to the Block party and his family, I could be off but that's how I took that! The hop scotch scene was also a reference to being with minors because you only see kids playing that game. The tight rope scene was a visual representation of Drake's album cover of him in the sky

This was one of the best breakdowns I've heard yet! 👍🏾💯❤️

The jacket def says S/S 2024

U never watched the wire???????????

Hip hop is crazy! you got to love it wat other genre of music would have the infrastructure for this- 2 of the biggest names in hip hop going all out- and it’s an all or nothing for the direction off hip hop you got to love it-

The Wire is the greatest TV show ever made. No cap. Definitely watch it. No Spoilers:
The shipping containers and the port were central to the whole of the second season for many reasons.

The jacket says s/s/2024 -spring/summer/2024

Funny how kawhi got Toronto a ring and he from Compton as well

The 17 push-ups is a reach though

During the shipping container scene in the video, he clearly says “your homeboy need subpoenaed, them predators move in flocks…” making it clear the shipment containers is a reference to human trafficking.

Think j cole was the next person in the back while drake attack kendriick big 3 1 step up and got blasted

Unfortunately the 8/8 2024 is actually S/S 2024. Meaning spring/summer collection from the designer of that jacket.

And you forgot he’s wearing all white because he dropped it for of July because he knew that Drake would be at that Fourth of July party so he’s waving at Drake😂

Kendrick is still 10 steps ahead .😂

You forgot the picture being turned around on the cell while he was doing push ups. Drake said he knows his picture on the wall when he cook up

Kendrick asked if he ever walked your enemy down with a poker face. That’s what he did to the owl

owl is Goku killing all these androids

Why the caged bird sings ... Welcome to the culture

I didn’t notice the 8/8/2024 but could that be a thing where he’s doing it for LA and paying homage to Kobe? He did wear 8 and 24…just a thought

I wonder if Kendrick watch these reactors dissecting his music and laugh. Kendrick saying “I just like the jacket”. 😂😂

Correction: Whitney was nt crip walking, she was B (blood) walking. Which is significant because Kendrick is associated with the Pirus (the bloods) and this shiws that she's in full support of Kendrick

I also feel the shipping containers refer to black American culture as an exported commodity

Lol season 2 of the wire, the one with human trafficking in shipping containers is considered the white season of a show that is predominantly black and about black culture. Idk about you but Ive never seen a white shipping container... Seems like that would get damaged immediately.

Why y’all keep messing up the amount of diss records left. It’s actually 6 more diss records left. Only 4 dropped. I’m very sure Like that don’t count.

Shipping containers is a double entandra, shipping containers are used for trafficking, and LA has a big port for international shipping. As a rule for gangsters is if you control the shipping yard, you are controlling what happens in your city. The US government famously asked the mob to control the NY port authority during WWII.

The correct poem title by Dr. Maya Angelou is "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings".

They’re piru/blood affiliated, they don’t Cwalk…

The wife beater thing, flew by me.

Shes bloodwalking but the dj quick version where he took elements of the mexican hat dance its funny that those who know know

Love your enthusiasm and aura.

I have a question can u like give alot of details on bith of these questions im about to day? Ok so 1 wy did he say the code is i see desd people? And 2: why was his album a photo photo of were drake lived🤨

Now, i understand..!! Thank YOU❤❤❤❤.

So you made a compilation of what others saw and analyzed about the video 😢

How can Kdot be a reincarnation of 2pac when Dot was already 9 years old when Pac died in '96?

8th of august is mums bday and unfortunately is widely known as nazis celebration day

Godfrey's podcast said Kendrick posted the video on July 4th because he knew Drake would be at an all-white party that day.

just realized the meaning of the tight rope scene that no one has realized . Also in the hopscotch scene he has on a shirt with a one legged man hanging from a rope. he is referencing a man called the "rope walker" he was a man that was hiding his true identity. He was really a jew pretending to be like the people he was around. just research "the rope walker of Corsicana"

The mmm mmm before he a fan he a fan is ancestral humming and means of communication and survival during slavery —
NOT LIKE US

Containers don't contain prostitutes in real life like you said... they contain innocent minors victims of human trafficking... we gotta have situational awareness and sensitivity

What do you think? Which are true and which aren't? Some people saying the jacket is just ss not 8/8. What about the others?
