\n\tThe most anticipated video <\/a>of the year so far has finally dropped. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cNot Like Us,\u201d <\/a>Kendrick Lamar\u2019s jubilant Drake diss track <\/a>that topped the Billboard Hot 100 and has stayed on the chart for eight weeks, has enjoyed a legendary run. It\u2019s been played in clubs and sports arenas, soundtracked children\u2019s birthday parties, and inspired an\u2026interesting opening number at this year\u2019s BET Awards. <\/p>\n \n\tBut, despite the song dominating airwaves for two months and Kendrick performing it multiple times at the end of his Juneteenth Concert, \u201cThe Pop Out,\u201d<\/a> fans still hoped the Pg. Lang captain would drop an official visual. Confirmation that a video was on the way came not long after the Amazon Prime-streamed show when Kendrick took to his hometown of Compton and brought the entire city out to be a part of the production. <\/p>\n \n\tAnd, after a series of a stills from the video leaked <\/a>last night, Kendrick and Pg. Lang delivered the official video this evening. Directed by Kendrick and Dave Free (who also makes a quick cameo), the video matches the energy of the fun but blistering diss track with a number of Lamar\u2019s lyrics brought to life. For example, there\u2019s a scene where he beats an owl-shaped pi\u00f1ata with a stick and another one where he gets slipped a bible that he tucks into his jacket. <\/p>\n \n\tHowever, the highlight of the video comes towards the end of the nearly six-minute clip when Kendrick poses with his fianc\u00e9 Whitney Alford and their two kids before all of them break into dance. It\u2019s a clear refutation to the allegations made by Drake in his song \u201cFamily Matters\u201d <\/a>where he claimed, among other things, that Alford and Lamar were separated and that he did not regularly see his children. <\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s hard to imagine the song getting a second wind as it\u2019s still dominating the cultural conversation, but this video may just extend its runway. <\/p>\n \n\tWatch the video below. <\/p>\n
