Kendrick Lamar Drops The "Not Like Us" Video | Joe Budden Reacts 

Kendrick could've been soo much more disrespectful wit this video, instead he made it a celebration of life, culture and art ❤🐐 Goated

Lol Ish gotta meet Mal & AK at Starbucks for every Kendrick segment from now on

Whitney dancing in a wife beater is too perfect 😂😂😂

Ish gotta weird vibe…..”Why is he around?”

'Ken & Friends Pop-Out' on Juneteenth: you not Black 'Not Like Us' video on 4th of July: you not American

Kendrick dancing with Whitney and their kids is my favorite part and a perfect touch to the “The Family Matters and the truth of the matter…” part. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Ish sitting on the couch like the owl in the cage lol

In the video: • The hopscotch scene: You got that-A minor reference and the child’s game. • The piñata: Another child’s game, and no Ovho’s were harmed. • He did 17 pushups, referencing his 17 Grammys and the PDF allegations. • In the room with speakers and the picture turned backwards: A jab at Drake’s “I know my picture on the wall when y’all cook up.” • The container scene: When he says “Devil is a lie, he a 69 God,” he’s dapping up Dave Free to call out Drake on the Dave Free baby allegations. Plus, Melyssa’s take on the containers I believe was spot on. • Yall got the significance of 4th of July. •. Whitney in a wife beater, addressing the DV allegations. • At the end, Kdot in all white, waving to Drake (who was at an all-white party when the video dropped). Lastly, the owl in the cage bowing to Kendrick: He put him back in the cage, referencing “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou-Kendrick likes Drake with the melodies. That’s all the stuff I caught. Hope this helps!

OVHOE ISH lookin compromiiiiiissseeedddd

That snippet was 🔥🔥🔥

Bakka case is human trafficking so what you think them containers symbolize?

She knows her shit respect damn everyone she is a made woman!🔥

Okay Mel… with the white containers meaning exportation of black culture…

That broccoli/stargazing snippet at the beginning sampled "When I Hear Music" by Debbie Deb, now that's some REAL LA culture right there. We need that single Kendrick!

Mel had a great take on this one I can’t lie

I smiled so hard when they dapped Mel up lol that was a great interpretation

Every time the podcast brings up Kendrick Lamar, it looks like Ish starts thinking about the specials going on at Home Depot and Lowe’s.

“New flow coming, be patient brother”

Turn out DJ AK lied about the fake streams people at Spotify came out and said Kendrick stuff real

The video was a trial of Drake. It started outside Compton Courthouse. Kenny and 11 others were the jury (sitting in the room… the courthouse basically). The knock at the door was a sign from an old song “shave and a haircut”. It was used when slaves would have dance contests. That’s the point of the dancing. At the end, Drake was imprisoned for his crimes against Black culture (owl in the cage). When it shows the crowds, that’s the “people” celebrating the “verdict”. Mellow Tonin’ Music - go look it up.

He did 17 Push-ups. . . probably A MINOOORRRRR 😂

You need to understand the setting at the beginning: you are late and then he sit down; there are 12 seats like a jury; its the courthouse at the beginning and it is judgement day where the jury is there to pass a sentence an rhe ending is putting the predator under bars; and in between it is all the evidence the plea given to then sentence the predator, after the owl in cage scene, the next scene is the crowd cheering outside the courthouse happy with the judgement.

Ish not like us 😂😂😂😂

Helllooo. Melissa ford was a video model. Of course she would know and understand the concepts of music videos. This was her bag. She graced many music video sets.

They not like us.

Yo did Ish say anything during this clip? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That had to be a hologram of Ish….he there but he not there lmao

The family image during the Family Matters bar was so on point

How can someone be such a clown that they sit through that whole conversation like a little kid who got their ball stolen?

He might not have mouthed the name, but he looked dead into the camera for the “other vaginal option part” lol

Hopefully that snippet is coming soon unlike that snippet in the Alright video

Ish awfully quiet on this segment lmaoooooo

The mel badgering is getting uncomfortable

Tam’s is not a “chicken spot”. It’s a hamburger joint that sells other fast food

The visuals are a masterpiece. The many nuances have so many people studying. Because even if you think it's a reach it might not be.

Ish be very quiet when Kendrick Lamar's name gets mentioned 😂

This is OUR (meaning us Californians) new-aged California Love! PERIOD! Argue with ya mamma!

I believe the family photo pose with Kendrick, Whitney and kids was a homage to the "American Gothic" painting

Did ya'll hear about the "Shave and a haircut, two bits" knock on the door rhythm at the beginning of the video? Look up the real definition of "Cake Walk" and where it comes from. Kendrick was diabolical in this video from top to bottom.

They do Canada shit on on Canada Day. Eat Canadian Bacon, drink Canada dry,make maple syrup.. you know canada shit 😭😭😭

First time i ever agreed with her. Quinton tarantino has said this. He knows everything thats going down in his movies. But intenionally leaves questions unanswered for the audience so they can decide what it is for them. He feels like that it makes it "their" movie or experience and more personal to them.

Kendrick is the best artist of this generation, this was never a battle, Goated Artistry by K-Dot

IM SORRY, KENDRICK PICKING SAMPLES FROM TEDDY PENDERGRASS IN “EUPHORIA” AND AL GREEN IN “6:16 in L.A.” …..knowing they had an album called “BACK TO BACK HITS” is WILD! KENDRICK HIT DRAKE WITH THAT MULTI LAYERED BACK TO BACK….

4:39 joe clownin mustard meanwhile mustard dancing all the way 2 the bank❤

Ish could’ve went to the bodega on this segment 😂 He had absolutely nothing to say

Even Ak gave Kendrick for the music video. Ish is competing for that #1 Drake glazer.

Human trafficking and Drake friend is back from jail with those charges! Those other guys have similar cases so why is Drake and Nicki Minaj surrounded by ppl who have that particular background.

Drake hasn’t responded yet because his ghostwriters are shook right now…. The whole Ovhoe camp is emotionally drained because they didn’t see this type of lyrical lashing coming. Oh, and per google: “Generally, white containers signify perishable cargo that requires special handling, such as refrigeration.” So this basically means human trafficking.

Joe was uncomfortable with Melissa clarifying things when he sounded oblivious...

0:28 She's completely right

Ish hating every second of this 😂😂😂😂

The fact that Dot was wearing white on white in the video assuming Drake would be at Michael Rubins all white party on the 4th is hilarious & genius at the same time.

To Mr. Joe Buddens remarks at 0:14 sir, if you were to listen to the album Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, there is a track on there called 'Savior' which Mr. Lamar states, "Tupacs dead, gotta think for yourself" which is what he is doing with scenes with 'the containers' is to make the listener/viewer think for himself/themselves..

Ish inability to comment because he’s so upset for Drake is so bizarre do he know Drake personally?

I'd seen the entire segment, which was pretty entertaining, although the way that Joe goes at Mel made me very uncomfortable. He angrily snaps at her and often times "jokes" with her in a very demeaning manner. And when the guys gang up on her it's difficult to watch because it's extremely degrading. They occasionally give her some shady dap or credit but most often they use her as their punching bag. Very disturbing.

I wish Emanny was there for this portion of the pod...his insights be on point 💯 Ish gotta leave the room for every Kendrick segment because he messes up the energy...idk why he dislikes Kendrick but it seems like more than just him beating his favorite rapper in a battle...weird

him caging the owl at the end sent chills 😂

His body language was crazy….no emotion really like it was no pressure or he ain’t even trying

I think Kendrick the type to drop an album same day as Drake

When Noe said “ go to Michael Rubin party” I just busted out laughing

9:24 “nigga dont like the westcoast im fine with it.. I push the line with it” he definitely bout have a westcoast vibes!!!

Mel cooked in this episode. she was spot on about the shipping containers representing the exportation of black culture

Hopscotch 2:59 traditionally has 12 squares, and yes, he skipped over the 6. Kdot, i bow to you my lyrical Sr.

Mel, on her Davinci Code ish today! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing her decode the video 👏🏿 👏🏿

Walkin’ is the culture of cali. Babies come out the wound c and B walkin

Also why does nobody mention how Kendrick almost never looked indirectly at the camera? Like he was always looking off into the distance or looking to the side

Kendrick was dancing in the hopscotch squares because it's a kids game. (A Minoorrrrr)

Ish too OVO for me 😂 dude looking like a can of morton's salt while they talk about kendrick

By farrrr my favorite Kendrick music video since King Kunta

Sitting in the hospital making funeral arrangements for a beloved family member. In a time of sorrow what do I hear?The nurses station listening tothe JBP. You guys truly are entertaining and bring joy to a lot of people.

Euphoria,,,, predicted this ALL, mite be the hardest of the lot

I hope Kendrick seats down with Joe Budden when he does a media run. I need Joe to document a big hip hop moment.. he deserves it and artists should give him a chance.

I hate that Joe Budden didn't make money in hip hop because his catalog is impeccable. One of my top fives, and he quit rap for real. I know he found the bag was in podcasting Because no one really knows about his catalog. When I tell people Joe Budden is in my top 5 I got to start explaining **** And I tell them let me guess you never actually heard a Joe Budden album and I'm usually right. His last three songs going in on Drake are crazy, but Kendrick is a different type of beast I can't stop Rocking with it they not like us! Wap wap wap i'ma do my stuff

Kendrick pop out concert and music video was some of the greatest moments to be apart of in our current era of hip hop

The jacket says S/S for Spring/Summer, not 8/8. and it’s by Martine Rose (if I recall correctly)

Maybe because im from LA and been to alot of parties growing up where tommy the clown showed up but Mel sayin them havin their faces painted white as symbolism when its just the Tommy the clown dancers uniform is hilarious to me😂😂😂

@0:23 Unc getting old . Lol he needs a tutorial 😂😂

Joe. It gives a lot of Creators CONTENT and makes the people money. Having intricate things to find is perfect for todays media. The more, the better.

0:50 yes Kendrick is intentional, but art is absolutely subjective as well and Kendrick knows this. So I think there is truth to what Melyssa was saying before Joe so rudely cut her off

Undisputed winner is Kendrick !! there's no questioning that! and I loved all his diss tracks but am i wrong for hoping there's no remix, even though I know it'd fire, I just want the battle to end as 1v1 and not feel like more people jumped on to diss... 🤔🤔 maybe... unless it's Future, Asap Rocky, Rick Ross and any other rapper that got dissed by Drake

He does 17 push-ups because that's all he has to "drop" and give drake to be the winner. 17 grammys, more than drake. He then does a half push-up(17&a half) and scene cuts before he finishes it. He is saying his 18th Grammy is coming. Still loading...

The HBCU bands are what's next (during football season)

I wanna see yall do this with all media. Including movies. Y’all dissecting stuff is fascinating like what’s it like when you all link to see a movie or step out your comfort zone and watch an anime as you discuss. Like what is that shit like. I can only imagine the conversations.

Ish still salty

Drake should retire now

Mel thinks all west coast dances = Crip Walk 😂😂😂

The family scene was a webcam.... Kendrick saying how you know my business 💯💪👍🏾

2:33 Mel ok I hear you

I think ppl are overlooking the importance of the family part n the song playing. It was a complete full circle of him saying drake is a master manipulator n how he played right into kendricks hands. Like he knew it would play out like this n everything was prepared n well process thought. N the owls head looking coward n scared. Truly a masterpiece. Most ppl doing reviews didnt even see dave free in the video.

Ish is such a sucka 😂! Ish Drake is never going to let you around him man damn, it’s ok 😂

The sybolism in Kendricks video is crazy. 🎯💯

8/8 Emancipation Day. The first recorded celebration of the Eighth of August as Emancipation Day was in Greeneville, Tennessee in 1871.

What I love about the "FAMILY MATTERS" scene is that Drake is a baby daddy, Kendrick is a Father.

Ish silence speaks volumes 😂 sook

I took the containers differently. If you’re from LA those containers are everywhere. Specifically when you go over the bridge that faces both the ports of Long Beach and LA you see massive ships bringing thousands of those containers in at a time. I don’t think it’s represents exports (what’s going out). It represents imports (what’s coming in). Those containers bring in all the cheap Chinese made junk that we buy in this country. Maybe what Dot is saying is Hip Hop was given away and now we’re importing a junk, watered down version of it back.

I don’t believe there will be subs from drake. All Kendrick need is a reason. I do agree this next album will have a lot mustard tracks. He has 45-50 mustard beats.

2:33 - 2:54 the vibe of that whole lil sequence was HILARIOUS😂😂

Not Canada Day anymore ! For my family at least , it’s indigenous day 🧡

His pop out performance he said his nam 1 2 3 4 5+5 times lol

This is a REAL question. How old is the light skinned guy on the couch? Is his name Ish? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out why a grown man would be in his feelings so much about another grown man. Like this dude is really uptight. He shouldnt even be a part of a panel discussion or podcast because he cant even contain emotions to contribute to the conversation. He's clearly bothered that Kendrick got the victory👑👑Is he kin to Drake? His energy is very childlike. He's sitting there pouting like my 9 year old... DAMN!!! MAN UP!!! Great podcast tho!!!
