culture-shifting final death blow of a diss track "Not Like Us". We break down the lyrics line by line to search for any hidden meanings, entendres, metaphors, or just petty lines that we may have missed or ignored when the song was first released.

    The “pop out” bar is a callback to the lyrics in ‘Element’ too, in my opinion- “If I gotta check a (fake one)*, I'ma make it look sexy If I gotta go hard on a b-, I'ma make it look sexy I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy” Also, “jabroni’s” is what Drake called Joe Budden and his crew in the angry DM’s he sent complaining about them talking about his affinity for younger women on their podcast. *(a clean interpretation for the comments section)

    Migos were headed up before Drake. I know about them because of Donald Glover and Atlanta, not Drake. Won’t deny he helped boost them, but it was mutually beneficial. There are so many Drake features that I really can’t distinguish between who he helped and who helped him, with very few exceptions.

    John stockton line has another layer. Kendrick laying it out in hidden that he has 10 stocks early Stockton (Stock ten). Also, the 10 wops is a hidden message with 10 stocks. And of course, how many stocks do i really have in stock? 1,2,3,4,5+5=10 (Stockton, stocks ten). This dude writing is incredible Edit: Him hopscotching in the music video too can also be anoter layer saying he still has 10 stocks in the chamber due he wrote to 10 on the pavement 😂

    Mustard didn't sample Ether. He sampled _Monk Higgins's 1968 rendition of "I Believe to My Soul."_ Mustard was interviewed, and he said being from Cali, he wanted Kendrick to use a beat of his. He said he was sending Kendrick five beats/texting him daily so that he could stay on Kendrick's mind. He did this for a few months and found out his beat got used when people started hitting him up as he was driving on the interstate, heading to a baby shower.

    You said kendrick had "not like us" already written and changed the family matters line and i agree. But i think he changed the whole verse. It's the part that has less double entendre, the most straight foward bars, he didn't have the time to write it that way. The whole theme shift on that verse. For me, he heard drakes family matters slaves lines and was like "oh i got to teach this man an ATL lesson".

    7:40 I don’t think we can just dismiss the nuggets when “deciphering” KDot’s lyrics… that’s the beauty of his intricacy. I see dead people? Yes… theres the initial understanding of the six sense reference and the ghost writer reference... BUT Kendrick is known for his entendres… so there is room for expansion. Not Like Us looks into the moral differences between himself and Drake… James 2:26… he literally see’s dead people… Drake lives the life of a spiritually dead individual.

    Like the breakdown, but some things get missed because it’s regional. For example, having a weird case is how you say a pdf or S*x offender on the west. It’s not saying it’s confusing or suspect. “We outside” is saying we active. It’s a flex. It’s saying we ain’t hard to find and you still won’t do nothing. We ready to bang on you. It’s like “whooping feet” is WC slang for beating the breaks off you.

    It’s worth repeating, for all of the Drake defenders who want to believe that Kendrick’s motivation was purely self-serving, using terms like ‘relevant’ and ‘clout-chaser’ to malign his intentions… go watch the 2017 DNA/Humble performance at the VMA’s. Kendrick changed the chorus to “Drake, be humble”, not just once, but throughout the song. This wasn’t about a rap battle, relevance, or who the GOAT is, we might not ever learn all the reasons why, but Kendrick clearly felt disarming Drake of his influence was a necessity.

    i feel like even if Cole goes scorched earth on the next rapper that tries to go at him, it would still be a net loss, or at least a win with a huge asterisk -- you won, but not against Kendrick -- you did well, but you ducked Kendrick -- that will always follow him now. i think the monk route is the more agreeable option. try to spin it like youre on some Andre 3k typa energy instead

    36:23 was also a reference to Drake being a groupie for players & his weirdness w/ basketball. Remember when he randomly suited up in Uni. Of Kentucky warm-up suits, sat in their pre-game meeting and shot around w/ them?? When pics circulated of that along with him going to those sorority houses at 2a.... 😬 ALSO Drake had a photo w/ Karl Malone which made the Stockton line a bit more scathing. Karl was/is apparently his neighbor and people (once they figured out the Stockton/Malone correlation) dug up the picture Karl & Drake have together on their social medias; Drake has since apparently deleted the pic from his IG I think Karl still has his up.😂😂

    The fact that Toronto (and probably Canada as a whole) doesn't have a unique rap/hip-hop culture is probably another Drake crime. For 12 years, almost every up-and-coming Canadian rapper was manipulated and swallowed into the OVO sweatshop. Xevi covered several stories on his channel on the Drake Stim Package. One of the reasons his so bitter at The Weeknd and Kendrick is not because of their talent, but because he now has to share the spotlight.

    Drake has always come off as someone acting like a rapper. The ghostwriters add to it. Kendrick is a pure artist. People love to make it seem like it’s so bad Kendrick took so long to drop Mr Morale. Well if you’re a real artist and you have writers block or you feel musically uninspired then yea, you wait until you feel it. But Drake just needs someone to bring him a hot song and do it. (I’m not saying, oh it’s so easy to just make hits for as long as Drake has been doing. That’s not just something anyone can do. Drake has had a run that is no joke. But it’s a different thing.)

    Drake got in trouble for moving his plane 3 times in 6 weeks. 3 short flights of an "empty plane" to Hamilton (port city in Ontario), now go look at Drake's plane, the skin on the plane is the same as the background in the tightrope scene...those shipping containers looking real symbolic.

    Another music theory note: B# is a note. It’s the same as C. But its very rare to ever call it B# because it makes the music difficult to read and why say all that when you can just say C lol But also B#/C has A Minor as its relative scale. C Major is A Minor So Drake just walked back into A Minor by trying to be clever lol

    Correctomundo!! Bruce Willis is dead!! It is such an amazing understated intro but the whole reference to the films 6th Sense and AI show that Kung Fu Kenny is a lyrical GENIUS!! He doesn’t need ghostwriters cos not ONE of Fakes diss tracks has the passion and ENERGY of Kendrick.!! Fake has nursery rhymes but he is NOT A RAPPER!! Fake does hip-POP, that’s why the references to slaves went straight over his head!! Couldn’t see the cultural or historical legacy AT ALL😢.. Kendrick gave him and us all a history lesson on Atlanta and also big shout out to ATL and Killer Mike. In case Fake and his drones never heard of him ,,,, he won 3 Grammys last year,,, for RAP music!! As much as I love all of Kendricks diss tracks Killer Mike’s “Down by law” is still my record of the year. But Fake don’t know nuthin bout dat😅😅😅😅. This rap massacre has been beautiful and invigorating cos Kendrick brought the whole of the West Coast together and we saw nothing but love on the stage at the pop out!! I’m from the UK and I hope it lasts😅😅😅peace and love to Kendrick, Whitney and their lovely kids❤❤❤❤
