Phenomenal show.
I don't even like very much rap but I've been energized ever since, can only imagine how the people in the audience felt.

People were saying how he might not even do any of the beef songs... and he did various versions of Not Like Us *six* times... and the crowd still wanted more. It was great seeing him do Still DRE and California Love too.

That video was AWESOME! To give some knowledge about the dancers: the guy in the clown outfit is the originator of a dance style called Clowning (or Clownin') which is kinda related to Krumping ... Both West Coast dances that REQUIRE a lot of athleticism to do. Dance crews like Jabbawockeez and others incorporate Clownin' and Krumping (both came from breakdancing and pop-locking which both originated with Hip Hop).

Just wanted to share in case anyone didn't understand why the guy was in a clown outfit and the other dancers were wearing face paint. They're all a part of the Clownin' culture.

I just don't get Not Like Us. it's a basic low effort, repetitive mustard beat. And the rhymes are awful. it's like Kendrick's not even trying to rhyme. It's maybe the worst song to come out of this beef.

The whole point of Not Like Us was to make a simple, dance-able song that everyone can sing along to. That's its power. Yes, it's dumbed down for the masses compared to his other songs in this beef, but that's why he's got the whole hood singing and dancing behind him.

We all know Kendrick can rap, that he can tell stories, that he can switch up his flows 20 times in a song, all of that. But when your opponent is Drake, you might just have to make 'em dance.

Drake has exactly one tactic in all of his beefs. Flaunt his money and success; tease playfully, and attack you and your girl. Especially that last part, because he equates attacking your girl with attacking your manhood. He does this every beef he's in, and is never equipped to handle the heat that comes as a result of this approach.

Now Kenny has flipped it completely on its head, flaunting a happy and healthy family unit that drake has never had but always feels the need to try and undermine.

Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

In a filing Monday (Nov. 25) in Manhattan court, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accuses UMG of launching an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.

I have zero clue about modern hip hop. Has it dropped its ''Attitude Era'' and gone all safe and politically correct?

I bet neither can fight and are likely Shakespearean actors. Lamo's

Reminds me of the Shapiro video getting hip and down with the kids. This guy is a lawyer. Wack as fuck.

Kendrick is more conscious hip hop than attitude but he's in no way politically correct... I'd suggest listening the his Drake dis track from last year that had most people doing the crip walk... "Not Like Us" ... There's some context you might not get and will probably need some explanation but ... Just on its own, it's a bop!

Anyway, that video of Drake getting told her age, acknowledging he might catch heat for it, and then still saying what he says lends credibility to Kendrick's claim, in my opinion. I mean, that's a minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
 
Watching the show Lamar is like 5’ tall
Yeah when that little gremlin was on stage I decided it was a good time to get up and move around and refresh my adult beverage because not interested in his music at all then one song I was like wtf I know this song and why do I know it

Turns out one of my most played NBA 2k games is 2018 (just seeing how high I can push the career scoring record) and one of his tracks is in that game

I was in the kitchen and heard that song come on and I was like
