RIP DRAKE! Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us VIDEO (DAD REACTION) 

Double symbolism. That too, but since the owl is a known representation of the label Ovo, Drakes label, it also means "you're in My cage. You might be the Colonizer, but I Own you, bish".

Yeahhhh no. It's the logo for OVO

@@niftymrmegaming8117 Duh everybody knows it the OVO logo..I am talking in regards to the meaning in the video

An Owl is a bird of prey or a raptor

FACTS😂😂😂

Yes he is. His entendres game is unmatched. Both lyrical and visual. The pushups ended on the count of 17 which is Drake's age limit and Kdot won 17 Grammys. the hopscotch dance right at the A minor verse. The shipping crates= trafficking but also shipping back to Canada. The red and blue outfits of the dancers represents unity in Cali. They even have the gang type scarfs on as a belt with the red & blue tied together in a knot. The video is 5:55 long. Drake wore triple 5s on his shirt through out his kid show Degrassi. It just goes on and on.

Another element to the caged bird symbolism is owls are predatory birds.

And the knight rider theme in beat at the start... didnt he release all his songs at night?

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is Maya Angelo’s book about a child being molested and made pregnant.

No Vaseline was a different time, era, and culture.. Not Like Us is the same thing different time, era and culture

@Canwekeepitreal40kendrick embarrassed one of the biggest artists of all time and has broken hip hop streaming records that drake previously had

It’s a bop for the entire USA maybe the world bro

"if you take it there, am takin' it further. That's something you don't wanna do"

Yeah but the internet and TikTok’s and Apple Music and Spotify made this fly so much farther. I get what he’s sayin when he said this song did more and went farther in a month than No Vaseline. Also gotta look at the streaming and videos we didn’t have back in the day.

I'm 46, and I agree. I have always been a big Kendrick fan, and I've been telling people for years he's the best out. He's just different

​@liathompson2332 he is 2pac n e40 mixed those r who looks up 2. He is complicated which us great

Especially the Education part of our History because believe it or not some people don't know about colonization...this is the reason why there are more YT people who control the majority of this country and others ...passed down wealth from their ancestors colonizing

Maybe that’s why Ice Cube randomly popped his head out recently saying “we all know no Vaseline is the best diss track, right?”. 😂 Even OG rappers need to understand that hip hop is a nonstop opportunity to yank the crown. Some rappers put out something insane and go “that’s all, nobody will top this, ever” as if they have any say in the matter. (Not that I don’t still like No Vaseline but…it ain’t untouchable and it certainly ain’t the best as of today)

Agreed

You can argue substance but impact, nothing comes close to Not Like Us. It has gone beyond just shutting down the beef, it's become an anthem.

Can we please put some respect on Story of Adidon? That was more like a therapy session than a song but it was the 1st domino

Absolutely

Add to that the internet range, im from Brazil and got the message

Totally went over their heads

Yeah cuz pops too busy reminiscing on novelty items 😂

And she wearing a wife beater

It shouldn’t really be irony since they was at the pop out. But Whitney walking was my favorite part so I get it 🤣

And the wife beater she wearing

Great way to put it (self-gratifying). I love Kendrick more for doing what needed to be done, and doing it well.

facts .. and Drake usually touches ppl between ages 14-17

Lol...the first I've seen of his dad more animated for a new school artist than his Son is. This was hilarious!

​@user-ki1vd3ti8j he loves yb too😅

That's his son?? Im new to this channel.. Just looking at how people react to the song.. All respect and ima sub💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

@@user-ki1vd3ti8jI don’t know if it’s just me but I wouldn’t classify Kendrick as new school, correct me if I’m wrong

Lmfao the emphasis on the ‘what ‘ was so funny

​@@pimpstick9988so HWHAT? 😂🤍

brought the whole world together lol. i was in bali, indonesia last week and they were playing not like us in the club there were people from the netherlands, france, the uk, ireland, brazil, spain, australia, and probably more. the ENTIRE club was singing it

Why?

Damn! I didn’t know Back to Back lost to Alright 😂😂

He’s 100% winning the Grammy for this song it broke lots of records

AMBURlance has a meaning. Might be put you age range smh. Do research

@@niecya9077Yeah as in Amber Alert that’s my guess 😭🤣

grammy isn't about the culture

A trash respond

It was a trash response all he did was say “no I didn’t” “it’s not true” 🤣☠️

What?? Where did he say that???

@@theheartpart5 play the vid again

@marjorienchanted I saw your question just as he said it at the 11:15 mark...

It's the impact Not Like Us has. This is still hitting throughout the entire world. It's an anthem for the people. This video is cinema. Every scene, every bar has so much meaning more than just what he's saying on the surface level. This was meant to bring people together, empower them, and put the bs, extremely questionable, industry Drake represents behind bars.

I think no vaseline are better as a disstrack, but this not like us is straight up pissin on your already knocked out opponent, even the beat + MV are as goofy as the lyrics, lol. Meet the graham already did the last blow

The old white dude didnt get beat down, He pieced the black guy up and left the black dudes nose leaking, Re watch the video

@@neverwintersbard751 ikr! Danny trejo has even been in a movie with characters based in this fight in particular: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Ass_(film)

amber lamps bro. not amber lance lmao

Yes, it went right over Pops head. 😂😂😂

I've been noticing that there's a divide in who thinks that is what he's saying. Those of us who grew up in and around the heart of Los Angeles tend to agree about the Amber Alert theory, everyone else thinks we're reaching. My husband and I both independently came to the same conclusion of Amber Alert despite an age gap and technically falling into separate generations (12 years, he's GenX and I'm a Millennial). Throughout this whole beef/rap battle there have been some really random things that have stood out to each of us that have meant the same thing. The most bizarre example was the very very end of Childish Gambino's song Yoshinoya that says "you've never heard of Chaka Khan?" I grew up listening to her music in the ghetto thrift stores but it would be a massive giveaway that someone is most definitely "not like us" like a middle class Canadian child actor like Drake... And being a child actor wouldn't be an excuse because I was one too lol. It's just that things like that can't be faked. I'm sure there's an arsenal of things he experienced in his childhood that would be confusing to both my husband and I, but it comes down to being true to yourself. Anyways TLDR: my husband and I agree it's to draw attention to Amber Alerts and I'm happy to hear out anyone who disagrees but the "lamps" as the second part of the word is not valid to me. I feel like that's hinting to us having to be home when the lamps outside came on and if we didn't then they might have to put out an Amber Alert to find us.

I counted three times and landed on 17 when I first saw the video but I did not make disconnection lol that's totally diabolical.

That's tuff

He got 17 grammys too. Kendrick always coming with those entendres 😉

Not allegedly its actually

Why does the caged bird sing? Cause birds can’t see BARS!

Glad he was offering some good commentary while his son was just playing with his phone.

I always want a popsicle after watching their reactions bc he makes me feel nostalgic 😂

boy he was snappin 🔥

I feel like he was saying his feat like his defeat Like him Whooping Drake

Mop feet* LA slang

​@@callendayo8930 and he said "I'm whooping feet" in Euphoria right.

what that even mean

Idk bro I like 6:16 in la

Euphoria for me 😅

There's an argument to be made for all four being the best lol. That's how you know he's the G.O.A.T. of his generation

​@@andreahailey7399such distinct sound and delivery for each. Masterfully done.

Euphoria hit him so hard but Meet the Grahams killed him. I really can't say which one was better because they both did what they were supposed to do. I also feel that both those songs were better than not like us but that mustard beat is undeniable.

Hahahaha this was ALMOST as funny as the 20th time I heard it 😊

@@MarauderM00giKendrick did 17 pushups cuz drake doesn’t like anyone over 18

@@cryezen made sure he heard it a 21st time thas diabolical

Fr

@@Soulstealermari might also have to do with winning 17 Grammy’s

Did everybody's grandma have that wooden fork and spoon on the wall 😂😂

That wooden spoon! That thing delivered its share of whoopings at my grandmas house.

@@NotSoFinalGirl 😂

No disrespect but is the real pp you very sexy ass fuck

Technically, Drake is african american (his father)/ Jew (his mother) and Canadian (where he was born), overall boy is a mutt, lol

Owls are also idiot birds...poor mascot choice...he fell for the american myth of owls being wise predators. 😂

Right!...They also have a massive owl statue in Bohemian Grove located in Monte Rio, California...The Grove set's inside of a restricted 2,700 acre area, and was founded in 1878; it belongs to a private gentlemen's club...In mid-July each year, the Bohemian Grove hosts a more than two-week encampment of some of the most (secret society) prominent men in the world...

“secret society” nah they just the J’s

You mean Kendrick

@@opinionladyy lmao i aint even see that

There's so many messages in video Kendrick IQ level have to be high

Hip Hop started as a revolution but those who dont respect it for what it truely is tainted it by watering it down to meaningless gain. Hip Hop has a voice and a soul but in the hand of some people they allowed other who dont understand it, take their voice and soul that was supposed to be used to uplift hearts minds soul and spirit from oppression especially for the black community. This is how you help the community elevate in togetherness❤Black and proud❤Black Pride❤Lift each other up❤

That’s what happen to u?

Obviously not but it definitely happened to drake but the point is imagine how you would feel you enjoying yourself and everyone flips and starts saying Kendrick dropped putting pressure on you to watch the video or respond and all you choose to do is sip your drink and think this lil dude is playing games with your ass

Lolololololol I love it!!!!!

I remember lol 😂

I am still traumatized and always wear slippers because of it.😂😂

Mannnnnn😂😂😂

That tomato thing was a pin cushion. I'll bet you have a grandma that used a Danish cookie tin for a sewing supply container. Cuz I did.

That part had me 💀💀

Cause they really hurt 😂

Forget Kendrick’s family. Does your grandma have a big wooden spoon on the wall too 😂😂

@@kendrataylor9867 🤣

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cuz I’m listening! 😂

Thank you.. someone finally understood lol

I’ve heard “ambalamps” used in hip hop as early as 2016 tho…..

Ambalamps is also old school AAVE, not necessarily play on Amber Alert. I’m shocked the Dad didn’t know that either

Its not a damn play on amber alert 🤣 stop reaching u look stupid

Amberlamps also references the meme "call an amberlamps"

Those were painful 15:36

❤

I’ve been saying that since i started watching them 🤔 this channel puts me in a good mood whenever i watch it because it’s like watching my family watching a video with me 🙂♥️🔥

Yeesss I hope they react to them

@@JessAnonymousthe son doesnt like Kendrick’s music so it will be a uphill battle

@@jaden5843 Let me guess, he´s a P Drizzy fan right?

Right I watched some of the other reactions but I was waiting on theirs 😭😭😭

Same here! Love love love your reactions!

Same

Ambalamps/Ambulamps/Amberlance are all indeed a word used interchangeably for "ambulance" within the language AAVE (AAE / AAL). African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is a variety of American English spoken by many African Americans. AAVE originated in the plantations of the American South, where African people were enslaved to work, and it shares a number of phonological and grammatical features with southern dialects of American English. Thus the reason ol'dude pops said ambulamps.

@bihsaidwhatnow2392 I don't know what you talking about😂

@@googlee8882 Simple: Big momma nem been saying ambulamps since 1865.

@bihsaidwhatnow2392 even so, I don't think Kendrick got it from big mama nem in 1865. It's most popular use of recent is the video I referred to
