Kendrick Lamar's diss track against Drake Not Like Us came out a month ago to widespread fan appreciation and critical acclaim. The track became so popular that it debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and is now getting a music video.

Last week, Lamar arrived back in his hometown of Compton to shoot the video for his track alongside a massive crowd. The music video saw plenty of cameos from some of Lamar's famous friends, including record producer DJ Mustard, who danced to the track along with Lamar and even snapped a few photographs with enthusiastic fans.

Mustard was the primary producer for Not Like Us. He is a frequent collaborator of YG and TY Dolla $ign and has featured on a few singles like Ballin and High Fashion alongside Roddy Ricch, and Or Nah alongside TY Dolla $ign and Wiz Khalifa. Mustard's third studio album Perfect Ten went Platinum in the United States.
