Dave Free has a cameo in the video. Shortly after he shakes DeRozan hand, he daps Dave Free and shakes hands with him also.

And it refers back to the pop out where the audience DID want to do it again, five more times
S.
love it when artists are intentional with every tiny detail
S.
like a Pokémon 🥴😂
Nick Fishburn
Can guys react to unreleased Mac in here? Crazy leaks over this past year came out
Ghas
Notice from the 🦉’s point of view it’s not caged..? But as an outsider looking at the 🦉 you can see it is caged..? - interesting 🧐
Darla
The thumbnail is the Compton courthouse
Darla
Yo, in that scene when a guy is running at him and gets swooped away, there is another guy who starts running at him and then stopped. I think that represents J cole
Darla
I want this so bad
The Garbage Man
"I be hangin out at Tam's I be on Stockton. I don't do it for the Gram, I do it for Compton..."
Sharon Nelson
MV is so artistically full of bars. 🔥
The Garbage Man
That's DJ Mustard and it says "Faith Of A Mustard Seed", which is his upcoming album that was named by Nipsey. It's not a subliminal or anything, I think it was the only one of three hats he had at the moment with his album title. Mustard talks about it in his most recent interview with Big Boy.
Sokboi
You guys should react to the What's the Dirt video on 6:16 in LA really good breakdown

Second this

" Kendrick doing to much" all bro did was drop his responses one concert no social media an one video. Drake has to respond to give his fans a narrative to stand behind or he'll lose em slowly through the silence
Dvd
Need the whole track for that snippet from the beginning.
Anna L.
I dont think he can EVER wear it out in public again. Maybe donating it to a museum or something would allow him a little forgiveness
PA
Note also the scene with Whitney was actually security camera footage (fisheye, monochrome, looks automated to follow motion) which is a response to Drake saying he’s got Kendrick’s lines tapped.
Anna L.
Love this point

I do think Drake is up against all of TDE, and Dave Free. All of these me are very interesting. None of them are to be toyed with, all of them are smart and committed and exceptionally clever. I saw an interview with a radio DJ that had a show in the mid 2010s. He said this whole thing started then, over an interview he did with Drake at the time. He said Drake was talking crazy about Kendrick and all of TDE. So much so, they couldn’t air the interview. TDE was there later and saw the tape. He asked them if they wanted to address it on air. They declined said “Now isn’t the time, but we’ll get him”. I am sorry I don’t know the name of the DJ. But he fully believes that it started that day. It makes a lot of sense to me. Biggest difference between Kendrick and Drake is Kendrick’s team is full of people as clever and exceptional as he is.

Some people saying the tightrope scene was a nod to the Nothing Was the Same album cover with the blue sky… alluding to nothing being the same for Drake after this battle and him having to walk on a tightrope from now on in the public eye. Makes sense since Kendrick called out that album on his BET freestyle diss.
Germaine
Also that tight rope line where Cole says: "Focusin' like bifocals while I'm walkin' on tightropes from a height You folks'll only get this scope from a flight" And shorty is dancing up there like it's nothing in this video lol
PA
It’s where Kendrick shot the Compton State of Mind video like 14 years ago.
Germaine
Homie in the car is wearing a Toronto Blue Jays hat. Can anyone make out the rest of the text? It says "Faith of a...." I feel like it's gotta say "Faith of a child" like the bible verse (crazy) but I can't really see the rest.
PA
No that was wrong just watch the video in the highest resolution. It’s a S/S 2024 collection Martine Rose jacket. Although since there was a shot at Honestly Nevermind with the end credits font (which Drake dropped after Mr. Morale on Kendrick’s birthday), we could speculate Kendrick dropping on Drake’s birthday in October. I’m also counting on Drake to drop on the same day as Kendrick either way.
Redibelle
Speaking from a woman’s point of view, every male reactor I have seen refers to Whitney dancing as “he got his wife up there” just want to offer a better perspective. No matter the situation between Kendrick and his wife, Drake spoke directly to her in “Family Matters” before Kendrick released the Grahams. After he called her a slut. Imagine being accused of that from a man who is famous for sleeping with half of North America. Whitney is from Compton. I doubt Kendrick could have stopped her.

The sea containers, portraits child trafficking , also Dave free in that scene w the beater n fitted
Ashley
You guys basically echoed my thoughts - this video is like a whole separate diss with the visuals. And something I didn’t catch until this rewatch/listen - the outro is 100% Drake bait… the DJ says “yall wanna do this again?” *crowd cheers* “ok, ya just gotta do one thing… back up” — like, that audio outro is 💯 deliberate - subtle but intentional. I think if Drake so much as throws a subliminal Kendrick is coming back at him.
Ashley
I just caught this on this listen but the follow up lines reinforce it’s a message to Drake “yall wanna do this again?” *crowd cheers* “ok, ya just gotta do one thing… back up” — like, that audio outro is 💯 deliberate. Subtle but intentional.
Leanna Reddick
The opening of the NLU video with the new music clip was a nod to the Boogeyman movies. So, I suspect he will be leaning into the Boogeyman era with the new album. Also, as the other person stated the owl is considered a predator but to add to that predators should be locked up. Also, from the predator's view he is not locked up but once the camera cuts to Kendrick's view he is locked up in a cage. Which is truly symbolic because like Drake he is not reading the room and the more action he takes he is actually caging himself. Drake needs to sit back and reflect and even delve into mental health if these allegations are true. That's it sorry for the long response.

So they're at a Shipping Dock.. and shipping containers are used for human trafficking. Not to mention KIDa the great is dancing INSIDE them doubles down on that while DRoze is sitting there as the member he is like he just dropped a dime; cut next scene KDot (in a suit) is shaking up Dave free who's acting "blind to the bs like steve"; it is all reminiscent of hood cult classic The Wire (its followed by homegirl BWalking on a "Wire" as if, instead of the feds, the hood tappin Drakes line) and kdot is basically setting up plays to bust negus in the act. This also goes back yo the "Don't tell a lie bout me and I won't tell truths bout you" where him and Dave shaking up is confirming that Drake lied while humans (dancing) are in the Shipping containers while shaking up DRoze as if, in some omniscient kinda way, Roze is privy to some truths bout drake given his prior proximity to Drake, from playing IN Canada for the Toronto raptors. I've seen countless videos about how it's common knowledge in Toronto (esp. Amongst teenage girls) how Drake has teenage girls at his "Diddy-esque" parties. If I heard bout it of course somebody who played countless seasons for them has heard the whispers as well; unfortunately this person jus so happen to be locked in with Compton i.e. KDot. I mean as a Gemini ik Dot meant it when he said the rabbit hole is still deep ik that wasn't a joke/ exaggerating but it's still gloriously beautiful to see kendricks mastermind unfold. Thank you for your reaction i JUST came looking for it and yall dropped immediately after.
Mo
“Caged…CAGED!!” Lmaoo loved this reaction
Juan Ramirez
Yoo someone zoomed in to the blue/black jacket when he's in Tamy's. And on his jacket shows the date 8/8/24. Maybe a song or album release date?
SAM-WISE GAMGEE
20,000 kis under the Compton court building. Hope the dogs don’t smell it
FigLeaf Bicarbonate
Owl is locked up because owls are predators 😬💀
Lauren Dutton
The building in the thumbnail/beginning of the video is the compton courthouse
DMV Doll
The owl looks likes it's saying "help me" and begging for forgiveness at the same time.
Joseph Nell
I think the place everyone was gathered in front of was the Compton community courthouse lmao
DMV Doll
Ur right and the headlights were from the hearse scene in Family Matters
mimi
I Hope so too!! I rly want a new entry
Kostia
Every time you’ll hear a Drake track by now, you will think about that video. Drake could be done with rap.
Aaron
That picture that was truned around because Drake said that they got his picture on his wall when they cook up
Kreative
I think we're still going to get a Heart Part 6
mimi
I have a theory that the reason why Kendrick has the snippet of the song in the beginning of the video because Drake used ‘heart pt 6’ title. So this is Kendrick’s way of using his own diss track as his ‘heart pt 6’. Idk just food for thought 🤷🏽♂️
Sophie James
SAME! Just finished watching and they understand the Ortho’s of the video once again.
Alwande🇿🇦

Jose Duarte
Prince caught it, but didn't speak on it. At the end, you have the director asking the crowd if they want to go again. That's a question and bait for Drake.
Jaz
I second this!
Kostia
You guys should watch the insane breakdown of 6:16 in LA by What’s The Dirt on Youtube. This diss is way more effective than you thought. https://youtu.be/UBcUehFjV3s?si=WqRMcK7iZzq5OkSV
Trent
He gotta melt the ring is crazy 😂😭
Arie
The faces y’all made when you first saw the owl!!! 😂😂😂
Eashan Patel

FigLeaf Bicarbonate

Eashan Patel

Joey Geraci
Whitney dancing in a wifebeater had me rolling 😂😂 RIP Drake
FigLeaf Bicarbonate

Myra George
Yall late. Been waiting for 24 hrs
FigLeaf Bicarbonate

Eashan Patel
