Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us music video featured a snippet from Squabble Up
Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping diss track Not Like Us featured a 20-second snippet of a then-unreleased track in the beginning. The monochrome snippet had Kendrick Lamar in a narrow passageway with flickering lights adding to the eerie undertone. The Compton rapper fashioned a white tracksuit paired with a black-and-white bandana. The lines included in the snippet were:
"God knows, I am reincarnated/ I was stargazin'/ Life goes on, I need all my babies (Gyah, gyah)/ Woke up lookin' for the broccoli/ High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi/ IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me/ Mr. Get Off, I get off at my feet"
The Not Like Us went on to amass over 180 million views with five million likes on YouTube.
Four months later, fans realized that the snippet belonged to K Dot's newly released Squabble Up. The song samples Debbie Deb's When I Hear Music and the rapper pays homage to late hip-hop icons like Mac Dre and Nate Dog, the movie Menace II Society as well as the TV show Soul Train.
The Squabble Up music video has already passed over nine million views and over half a million likes in three days. It remains to be seen how it performs in the Billboard charts as it garners more popularity and streaming numbers.
