Kendrick Lamar is jumping into another round of the Drake diss battle.
A composite image, made from two photos, show musician Kendrick Lamar, left, Aug. 27, 2017, in Inglewood, Calif., and Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, at the premiere of the series"Euphoria," in Los Angeles on June 4, 2019. Lamar released the video for his hit Drake takedown track"Not Like Us," featuring imagery that references the Toronto rapper and his October's Very Own fashion brand.
One of the most prominent scenes features Lamar smashing a piñata shaped like an owl, and the video nears its close as Lamar lingers in front of a birdcage with a live owl locked inside.At one point, he raps in a dimly lit room that evokes a scene from Drake's "Family Matters" music video. An anonymous figure approaches from behind, dressed in a balaclava similar to how Drake looks in the "Toosie Slide" video.
Lamar's video also attempts to dispel some of the claims Drake piled into various diss tracks in the late spring. All of this comes after the long-simmering feud between the hip-hop superstars reached a boiling point this spring as the pair traded increasingly personal insults on a succession of diss tracks.
