The fact that people are saying they’ll never listen to it again is exactly why hip hop is in the state it’s in. Not everything needs to be a head bopping party jam. This Kendrick song is prime hip hop, a poetic form of music.
It might be a easy song/ beat to dance to, but it’s not a easy song to “like” fr don’t get me wrong his message was recieved but I’m still not listening to that again… Kendrick did make “they not like us” to be a dance record/ bop record he a billion% did… to be fair we still don’t like that one , though it may be easy to dance to.

*Kendrick is trying to prepare everyone for a "shift" in the culture that is NEEDED. There is no "timing" that he needs to abide by. We are still listening.*
@@theo6298casual take. Kendrick was a year removed from the highest grossing album tour of all time prior to the beef. Just say you only like club music.
They Dumbed down the music too much it made people actually Dumb. So the hope used to be spread to our people using rap is no more. but it time to watch the party die. Kendrick is a messenger, rap is just a way to spread the message.
I don’t get why people are saying the timing is off. This is the perfect time to release a message song! EVERYONE went and listened to this song right when it came out because of the beef and I think it was a perfect time to give this message when all ears were on him.
He always releases a song before he releases an album. They’re usually called the heart part but due to Drake he called this one “untitled” they say it goes off the first song on his “untitled & unmastered” album. Joe saying this is way bigger than Drake is the truth.
@@mafamac4069clearly not if the message is trying to get everyone on to the right path Kendrick was lost too everyone has been lost at one point in life
@@newwave258 Yeah, and he hasn't tried to do any revisionist history about it either. We'll see what comes out, but he def chilled with/at Diddy's before.
Because they didn't expect this type of song with the spotlight being on kdot, if it was another bop like not like us they would say it's perfect timing
Why you guys always go straight to insult when someone disagrees with you. Why do you act like that’s can’t be a normal take. Is this even A top hundred Kendrick song (including his features). I’m not exaggerating either he literally has that many songs that are better than this. Some of y’all that need to get off the Internet and touch grass
@@kintayatkinson3037people dying left and right. Children getting slaughtered on live stream for a whole year now. You must not know what's happening in the world
It's like saying you're not going back to scarface or goodfellas. The song was so thematic and captured vibe. Aura. Intensity. It's not for everyone, but many will play this for YEARS.
This song is fucking fire, the beat, the lyrics, the message, THIS IS A HIPHOP SONG in the purest sense. Where it stands currently, Kendrick IS hip hop.
And they can nvr say when was the right time is 😂 and this replay value thing too. I love Sing About Me and I hardly listen to it but it's always great when I listen to it
@@gvngbinoI hate that whole replay value thing. Ppl only use that to move the goal Post or to try and discredit something. Not a shot at you or anything, just piggy backing off a point you mentioned.
Ice and Ish love the party and are down with the circus 😂. This song was perfect to release considering the CIRCUS of back and forth after his super bowl announcement.
Dot only made, "Not Like Us" because Drake said he couldn't. So, in record time, he made the hottest banger in years! He is letting us know he didn't get high off the epic response. He's still a man of substance and his mission is to bring substance back to the culture as a WHOLE. Dot has a purpose. His purpose is clear to him. He's merely fulfilling his purpose. Everyone connected to that purpose hears the call to act. We ain't really worried about how the rest receive it. Medicine doesn't always taste good but it makes you better. Dot is a medicine for this sick ass culture.
The “no replay value” is meant as a slight towards Kendrick but also explains who Dot is talking about. If you (ICE, ISH, etc) were bothered then it did it’s job. The song allows for a line to be drawn and receipts to be taken.
These are industry people, the party purveyors, if you will. Stop confusing them with ”the people”. They don't represent us, if the party died they are afraid their windfall will dry up. Of course they don't love it. I love the record, and have been playing everyday. It made me feel like putting on my ones to fight the good fight, and that track is addictive. The fact that he dropped it on 9/11 was genius too. RIP to all those casualties, they were just regular people going to work, that have become immortalized as foot soldiers in the war. To me, it's like the recessional hymn leaving church, strengthened to go fight evil. A rap jihad, so to speak. I know this is all over the place place, but it can apply to simply Drake, hip hop, black struggle, and worldwide struggle. I heard a young woman explain how it even made her consider the struggle Hatians are facing in their own country, and against bigotry and xenophobia here in the US. This song will be relevant 30 years from now. It's true art.
He did. He said the street 🥷 s, corporate guys, the superficial, status obsessed, weak character and money obsessed, and all those that contribute to it being cool, or okay to be everything that hinders people’s progress as humans. Too many people to name, so if you identify or see somebody in those descriptions.. wear or present the shoe.
Nah, he's talking about the industrys impact on the environment. Look at Galaxy Gas? Designer pills, designer syrup, designer drugs, date rape cases, degeneratacy trickling down towards young kids.
This is my favorite Kendrick song in a while. As someone who has been thinking and reflecting. This song was amazing for hip hop. Man I miss this rap. Been listening to tribe & gang starr. Good lord do they message is what we a lot of us need to hear
he dropped it on the same night of the VMA’s cause the culture congratulates the party over real hip hop and we done with it. The party tracks used to be an interlude not a standard. Now if you don’t have at least 75% party songs on your album it’s not getting major play unless your name is Kendrick or Jermaine.
To be 100 percent fair to the whole "bigger than Drake" point of view. He DID live on stage at his Pop Out concert say, "This is bigger than me, this aint got shit to do with no motherfucken song or a diss". He's been talking about Unity in the West Coast and has always been a hip hop Purist. He seems genuinely fed up with how hip hop sounds today. I'd also like to point out how Kendrick has taken up for the West Coast while Eminem has taken up for East side and both are currently dominating the game right now. Two people who actually care about hip hop.
@@BharaDaFundraiserTheir recent album sales is not his responsibility. Mustard is a producer and YG is 10+ years into his career at this point. Kendrick has given both of them hits, and a chance to showcase at his recent concert TO PROMOTE their album as they both dropped after said concert.
Dude this is one thing I hate about you knew profound Kendrick lovers. Is that you never give criticism to him when he propped up people like Kodak Black and future. Future is one of my favorite artist but I could see that his music is mainly about bullshit. also if we keeping it real kendrick idols like Dr. Dre and snoop never been deep rappers. They rap about bullshit too and I’m saying that as someone who’s a fan of them Born and raised in California
@@Alwaysbelieve619 I have been listening to Kendrick for 7 years. I thought it was hypocritical for him to say “if I catch flight it’s gon be direct” while sneak dissing two people multiple times (Big Sean, Drake). I also did not like Kodak collabing with Kendrick. Just because I never said it in my original reply does not mean I never thought it. It was never brought up. Snoop and Dr Dre not being ‘deep’ rappers is your perspective. They are OGs in the game, respected for a reason you never bothered to figure out. The shit Dre has done alone is magnitudes higher than a lot of others.
@@sleepykami6566 hey I agree what you’re saying. But my point is for the perspective of dre and snoop is, you can bring up the same criticisms about Drake to those two guys to. I mean the fake wannabe thug and the constant misogyny was ramped between those snoop and Dre. Is this weird to me that Kendrick has a big problem with Drake but doesn’t call out Rick Ross Future and other rappers
These dues lack so much critical thought is crazy. He literally already equated Drake to the state of hip-hop, so this means that every criticism of the current state of hip-hop is going to feel like a criticism of Drake. Joe Buddens is the only one that has a balanced take. If someone is trying to destroy and then rebuild, then the rebuilding process at the start and calmness. He already set everyone’s attention on lyrics so now this track is asking people to listen.
The irony that them talking about the song so critically, creatively, and insightfully, is exactly why Kendrick is the GOAT he is. Had the whole pod thinkin' thinkin'
Kendrick released this at his time, which makes it the PERFECT TIMING!! yall gone learn that Kendrick is who he is because he moves on his own timing, NOT YA'LL SIMPLE @SS 🥷 TIMING!!! Some of y'all got pea for brains!!! Anyway, I love the record, and I go back on IG every day, and I listen to it!!! Great job, KDOT!! 👏🏾
People want all music to be pop ass music these days.. why? 😂.. even old people who were born in good music era want pop ass music.. sheeetts is crazy-
Call me conspiracy theorist but Dot drops "Watch the party die" and Diddy's indictment follows like 4 days after The "LOVE" line shall ring bells as well
Which is why Imma put this comment here as opposed to letting Joe find it easily. Dee-1 is all about removing violence from lyrics. The blank space in the track is Kdot honoring his cause because he just said his name. It honestly doesn't matter what the lyrics were - if they even exist.
But Drake represents "the industry" according to Kendrick (and a certain % of his fans). Which, I personally think is hilarious because Kendrick clearly, had "the industry" backing him during that beef. Fake shit. And I should say I love a lot of Kendrick's music, not all, but GKMC is a top 5 album in my book. Section.80 is one of, if not THE most underrated project ever and dude ran 2017. That music he was putting out during that time (DAMN, BP soundtrack, etc) was the soundtrack to my life for a good portion of almost 2 years.
@@drewlavayI don’t think Kendrick had the industry behind him. Everyone on drakes side was strangely quiet and all the spectators kinda had to acknowledge Kendrick killed him.
@@drewlavayand drake it seems had mad way more enemies in the industry. We’ve kinda heard rumors about that. So it’s kinda smoking mirrors but i wouldn’t say Kendrick had support, it’s just more drake seem to alienate himself
@@mocahmcgrady7530 that’s not true man Kendrick literally has Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on his side. Stop acting like Kendrick is not the industry he’s one of the biggest media darlings. He is the industry whether you want to admit it or not.
People have been whining and complaining for years about wanting REAL HIP HOP back, the kind of hip hop that is raw with bars. And here you have Kendrick providing you nothing but that and people are hating on it? Just goes to show that the culture itself doesn't know what it wants. Y'all just love to complain and hate. No wonder Kendrick is mad.
Everybody wants something to dance to when y'all don't even dance. Hip Hop delivers a message Rap is entertainment. Kendrick is Hip Hop Drake is a rapper.
I said this, Hip Hop v Rap, in college, in a Black Economics class, many, many years ago and they were ready to pitch fork me! It is not the same! Commercial appropriation, indeed!
All the dudes except Joe are drake fans it’s a real record the Super Bowl is 4 5 months from now it’s not a drake hit ….it’s true tho it’s common sense
Flow was laid back which was coo, the beat gave me the ending to Kill Bill vibes which was dope. Not a consistent play back but it will sit on my list of favs to listen to from time to time. 💯
The people downplaying/ignoring what Kendrick is saying are the same people complaining about how music isn't the same as it used to be. YOU are the problem
Kendrick is a prophet & a poet, period. he didn’t even release it on streaming, this ain’t for radio. he’s an artist who had a message to share so he shared it.
This is one of those roll your window down, light one up, sit on your left butt cheek, throw your right wrist over the wheel, get the 12s activated, and cruise 35 in a 45. And when you hit the light and the dood in the collard shirt in the tesla next to you is scared to look over u just give him the head nod and turn the volume up so the bass rattles the license plates in a 4 car radius!
U dont like this sonically?? I love this song for exactly that: super mellow, smoothe delivery, no shouting or crazy voice switches, plus super dope content. Maybe its cause i just turned 39 and i am much more calm nowadays and appreciate calm music..whatever the reason i really appreciate this joint❤️❤️❤️👌😌💯
I loved this song. Absolutely. I would listen to it again periodically, make it once a week if it were on my playlist and came up. Lyrically, fantastic. But the whole vibe is good.
I love it. I loved it. The track and delivery are stuck in my head on repeat. I love that the sheep don't love it. Makes me feel good inside. Years later they will revisit it and realize what they missed. This flew over their heads 100%.
The Drake glazers don't even bring a balance, they're just wild biased and have been giving garbage takes for months at this point. I'm so glad Kendrick got these clowns outing themselves everywhere.
I took it as an epilogue for the beef which was about more than just them-Explaining what led him to walk Drake (or anyone else) down, and why it was about much more than him vs. Drake or numbers or money or any of the other nonsense I’m seeing people say online. It felt like he was reflecting on why he felt he had to do it. Drake serves as an avatar for the sad state of the culture/soulless industry 🦉😈
This was the best move that Kendrick can do. If he tries to do a record that sound similar or try to chase "Not Like Us" is not gonna happen. So he does something completely different and keeps "Not Like Us" what it is..
Ppl really hate Kendrick for no reason I swear he has been the same artist since he started 😂😂😂😂😂
Aye not sayin I'm on that side of the fence but the same could be said for how ppl feel towards Cole.
Exactly lol
We are entitled to our opinions. The fck.
Yall some stans. Sht is spooky.

The fact that people are saying they’ll never listen to it again is exactly why hip hop is in the state it’s in. Not everything needs to be a head bopping party jam. This Kendrick song is prime hip hop, a poetic form of music.
And then say not like us is being played too much they don't know what not to like
It might be a easy song/ beat to dance to, but it’s not a easy song to “like” fr don’t get me wrong his message was recieved but I’m still not listening to that again… Kendrick did make “they not like us” to be a dance record/ bop record he a billion% did… to be fair we still don’t like that one , though it may be easy to dance to.

Wayne ain’t trash
Nigga Please! You Never Even Seen Wayne Live 😂 You Wouldn’t See Him Live At The Super Bowl Neither
@@cuzinclotty7052Wayne and all his crying, entitled fans.
@@cuzinclotty7052 yes he is..
@@cuzinclotty7052 his concerts are terrible
Flip so surface level he in space
Loved it and still playing it
This song sounds like it would be the REAL “The Heart Part 6”
These dues lack so much critical thought is crazy. He literally already equated Drake to the state of hip-hop, so this means that every criticism of the current state of hip-hop is going to feel like a criticism of Drake. Joe Buddens is the only one that has a balanced take. If someone is trying to destroy and then rebuild, then the rebuilding process at the start and calmness. He already set everyone’s attention on lyrics so now this track is asking people to listen.
This track is not meant to be replayed over and over it's too send a message.
The irony that them talking about the song so critically, creatively, and insightfully, is exactly why Kendrick is the GOAT he is. Had the whole pod thinkin' thinkin'
Kendrick released this at his time, which makes it the PERFECT TIMING!! yall gone learn that Kendrick is who he is because he moves on his own timing, NOT YA'LL SIMPLE @SS 🥷 TIMING!!! Some of y'all got pea for brains!!! Anyway, I love the record, and I go back on IG every day, and I listen to it!!! Great job, KDOT!! 👏🏾
He killed once again simple as that
People want all music to be pop ass music these days.. why? 😂.. even old people who were born in good music era want pop ass music.. sheeetts is crazy-
They don’t want the circus to go
You start eatin mcdonalds everyday even steak start tastin bad😒
Right! They want to be on party time 24/7
This song is DOPE, especially with what's happening with Puff. It's Time To Watch The Partt Die. I listen to it everyday 🔥
End of the Diddy Party
This got alot of replay value YTB yall just wona party all day.
2:07 wrong time? Tbh I don’t think there is any prefect time then now. Regardless of the Super Bowl or Wanye
Facts he knows everyone listening and he dropped the true message, but these people don’t like music that makes them think
Facts!!
Agreed! The timing was impeccable in hindsight of the Diddy arrest, the Drake demise and the lil Wayne rejection.
5:17 prelude to the 5:35 that’s a fine choice of words isn’t it 😂😂 6:10
Call me conspiracy theorist but Dot drops "Watch the party die" and Diddy's indictment follows like 4 days after
The "LOVE" line shall ring bells as well
This song is one i haven’t stoped playing back i love it … these fools been listening to future type as beats
Kendrick dropping gems and the TH-camrs continue their commenting. Whole point of the message in the first place!
Kendrick said there isn’t a round 2 ..he has moved on drake fans and media wont accept it lol
"Black Boy Fly"
Kendrick Lamar
Exactly
Lecrae and Dee-1 not mentioned here?
Yes
Which is why Imma put this comment here as opposed to letting Joe find it easily. Dee-1 is all about removing violence from lyrics. The blank space in the track is Kdot honoring his cause because he just said his name. It honestly doesn't matter what the lyrics were - if they even exist.
@@n8m837fantastic intro to this comment and point😂.
On purpose cause they're jealous
Between Kendrick and LaCrea this is all I’ve been listening to since it dropped.
Think it's about the entire industry but there's definitely jabs a drake specifically
But Drake represents "the industry" according to Kendrick (and a certain % of his fans).
Which, I personally think is hilarious because Kendrick clearly, had "the industry" backing him during that beef.
Fake shit.
And I should say I love a lot of Kendrick's music, not all, but GKMC is a top 5 album in my book. Section.80 is one of, if not THE most underrated project ever and dude ran 2017. That music he was putting out during that time (DAMN, BP soundtrack, etc) was the soundtrack to my life for a good portion of almost 2 years.
@@drewlavayI don’t think Kendrick had the industry behind him. Everyone on drakes side was strangely quiet and all the spectators kinda had to acknowledge Kendrick killed him.
@@drewlavayand drake it seems had mad way more enemies in the industry. We’ve kinda heard rumors about that. So it’s kinda smoking mirrors but i wouldn’t say Kendrick had support, it’s just more drake seem to alienate himself
It’s forsure one of the five stocks he teased. I think this was probably made in honor of Drake but it’s about the industry as a whole.
@@mocahmcgrady7530 that’s not true man Kendrick literally has Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on his side. Stop acting like Kendrick is not the industry he’s one of the biggest media darlings. He is the industry whether you want to admit it or not.
People have been whining and complaining for years about wanting REAL HIP HOP back, the kind of hip hop that is raw with bars. And here you have Kendrick providing you nothing but that and people are hating on it? Just goes to show that the culture itself doesn't know what it wants. Y'all just love to complain and hate. No wonder Kendrick is mad.
Ice wearing a proud black dad hat while saying he doesn’t care for the song is hilarious 🤣
All that blackity-black sh## is just surface level and a posuer costume, that's why
😂😂😂
😂😂💀🎯
Fùçkìng industry clown. Can't even hide his distress
THIS SONG IS ABOUT ALL YALL 😂 💯
To me this track is Kdot walking the battlefield looking for survivors.
Everybody wants something to dance to when y'all don't even dance. Hip Hop delivers a message Rap is entertainment. Kendrick is Hip Hop Drake is a rapper.
I said this, Hip Hop v Rap, in college, in a Black Economics class, many, many years ago and they were ready to pitch fork me! It is not the same! Commercial appropriation, indeed!
I feel like this song was meant to be the calm before the storm...
I love it I can play this over and over we preach about the state of hip hop this is hip hop no cap! 🧢 keep doing ya thing Kendrick
Kendrick hurting feeling out here
this is a freestyle beat, simple clean, nice sample, yes. THIS IS HIP HOP
All the dudes except Joe are drake fans it’s a real record the Super Bowl is 4 5 months from now it’s not a drake hit ….it’s true tho it’s common sense
What!? This track’s replay value is astronomical. 🔥
The song is phenomenal. I’ve listened to it so many times
Flow was laid back which was coo, the beat gave me the ending to Kill Bill vibes which was dope. Not a consistent play back but it will sit on my list of favs to listen to from time to time. 💯
It’s crazy Kendrick drop this and a week later puff gets locked up the party really died
I know what it sounds like when somebody act like they like somthing and they really dont...that song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Perfect timing for a vacation.
The people downplaying/ignoring what Kendrick is saying are the same people complaining about how music isn't the same as it used to be. YOU are the problem
this wasn't a song this was a message ! that's why it doesn't even have a title this wasn't made to entertain
Kendrick is a prophet & a poet, period.
he didn’t even release it on streaming, this ain’t for radio. he’s an artist who had a message to share so he shared it.
This is one of those roll your window down, light one up, sit on your left butt cheek, throw your right wrist over the wheel, get the 12s activated, and cruise 35 in a 45. And when you hit the light and the dood in the collard shirt in the tesla next to you is scared to look over u just give him the head nod and turn the volume up so the bass rattles the license plates in a 4 car radius!
Its never the wrong time to address bullshit when you have the power/platform.
U dont like this sonically?? I love this song for exactly that: super mellow, smoothe delivery, no shouting or crazy voice switches, plus super dope content. Maybe its cause i just turned 39 and i am much more calm nowadays and appreciate calm music..whatever the reason i really appreciate this joint❤️❤️❤️👌😌💯
I like Joe’s analogy😂
🤝🏾
JOE BUDDEN: I'll never go back to listen to it
ALSO JOE BUDDEN: I've been listening to it for the past four days
😅
I loved this song. Absolutely. I would listen to it again periodically, make it once a week if it were on my playlist and came up. Lyrically, fantastic. But the whole vibe is good.
I love it. I loved it. The track and delivery are stuck in my head on repeat. I love that the sheep don't love it. Makes me feel good inside. Years later they will revisit it and realize what they missed. This flew over their heads 100%.
The Drake glazers don't even bring a balance, they're just wild biased and have been giving garbage takes for months at this point. I'm so glad Kendrick got these clowns outing themselves everywhere.
I have played it several times everyday and I’m from Louisiana. We’re not mad, only people who don’t know for real are mad.
I took it as an epilogue for the beef which was about more than just them-Explaining what led him to walk Drake (or anyone else) down, and why it was about much more than him vs. Drake or numbers or money or any of the other nonsense I’m seeing people say online. It felt like he was reflecting on why he felt he had to do it. Drake serves as an avatar for the sad state of the culture/soulless industry 🦉😈
Joe, he also mentioned LeCrae and Dee-1 in the song. Kendrick gave them their flowers. You should do the same.
This was the best move that Kendrick can do. If he tries to do a record that sound similar or try to chase "Not Like Us" is not gonna happen. So he does something completely different and keeps "Not Like Us" what it is..
Having “Proud Black Dad” on your hat, and saying you won’t listen to a genuinely proud black father is wild work ion know
That sh## is performative, that's why. These folks don't really stand for anything when it all comes down to it.
Where literally watching the party die. Look at Diddy. It was perfect timing 💯
