"WE ARE WAITING"- KENDRICK LAMAR’S ‘NOT LIKE US’ MUSIC VIDEO SNIPPETS HAVE FANS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATS

The diss war might be in the rearview mirror, but not the beef. Kendrick Lamar’s most destructive weapon in the entire rap battle with Drake was undoubtedly ‘Meet the Grahams’ and ‘Not Like Us’, released on consecutive days by the Pulitzer-winning rapper. Now days after winning the culture-consuming rap beef, Kendrick Lamar is celebrating his victory with a music video for the very same track that led Drake to back out with ‘The Heart Part 6’. 

Recently, some snippets of the upcoming 'Not Like US' music video surfaced on the web. In one of the snippets where Kendrick Lamar was seen smacking an owl piñata, a disclaimer said, ”NO OVH*ES WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO”. This was a direct diss for Drake and his independent record label, OVO. In another snippet, Lamar could be seen standing with his high school sweetheart and fiancé, Whitney Alford, and their two children.

The filming for this upcoming music video began last month in Lamar’s hometown Compton, California. He was seen moving around the town with Mustard, who produced the track. He was also spotted at locations like Compton City Hall, Tam’s Burgers, and the Nickerson Gardens projects, drawing hundreds of fans who crowded to catch a glimpse of K. Dot. And internet fans’ reactions were no different.

As soon as the 'Not Like Us' music video snippets surfaced on social media, fans flooded X with their enthusiastic reactions. 

Kendrick Lamar’s last music video was made in 2023, for the track 'The Hillbillies'. After a year of waiting, the rapper is finally going back to his Compton roots to bring back brotherhood and positivity to the Californian city. Going by the reactions, though fans assured with comments like “we are waiting”, they were also equally impatient, urging Lamar to drop the video this week itself!

There were, however, also fans who doubted the credibility of the snippets as it was not shared by the rapper himself. 

Kendrick Lamar has performed his diss tracks, on various live debuts lately. Especially for ‘Not Like Us’, Lamar blessed fans with five performances in a row alongside many other L.A. luminaries to throw shade on Drake like nobody’s business. And with this new music video coming, celebrating his ultimate win, who knows how else Lamar is going to keep poking Drake.
