Kendrick Lamar previews “Not Like Us” video
In the past two months, Kendrick Lamar has wielded his lyrical prowess to captivate the music industry with his latest single, “Not Like Us.” Initially released as a pointed diss track aimed at Drake, the song quickly ascended to the top of the charts, debuting triumphantly on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving double platinum status within a mere fortnight.
The anticipation surrounding “Not Like Us” reached fever pitch when Kendrick Lamar chose his Los Angeles concert in Inglewood as the venue for its live debut just two weeks ago. What ensued was nothing short of electric—Kendrick took to the stage and performed the track not once, but five consecutive times, igniting social media platforms with fervent discussion and acclaim.
Building on this momentum, Kendrick Lamar recently teased the imminent release of the official music video for “Not Like Us,” filmed against the gritty backdrop of Compton alongside acclaimed producer Mustard. Fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting its unveiling, which promises to elevate the song’s narrative with visually compelling storytelling.
In a bold preview shared last Wednesday, Kendrick Lamar offered glimpses into the upcoming video, showcasing provocative imagery that includes playful jabs at Drake’s iconic OVO owl symbol. This strategic move not only stirs the pot of rivalry but also enhances the song’s thematic depth, ensuring that “Not Like Us” remains a focal point of cultural conversation.
