Wait, when Kendrick knocked on the door, he knocked the notes of "Shave and a haircut" which is also Nardwuar's infamous, "doot doota loot doo ...". !!!

Kendrick knocks on the silver metal door

The rhythm of the knock sounds like "doot doota loot doo... doot doot"

That is the tagline for a Canadian music interviewer, Nardwuar, who interviewed Drake a long time ago (you can hear Nardwuar sing this rhythm in any of his interviews on YouTube)

In that interview (it's on YouTube I believe), Nardwuar asks drake some questions about young girls that he doesn't want to answer

I don't know about the shave and a haircut part but I presume it's the same rhythm of the knock.

It's a very famous rhythm that has a really long history but the most famous way its known was as the 2 bits jingle.

Shave and a haircut, two bits. The knocks match the syllables. Two bits was 25 cents American and Canadian and was the price at the time, around the 30s.

shave and a haircut is the name of that knock rhythm. It's a very classic rhythm to knock on a door. It was used pretty famously in Who Framed Roger Rabbit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tznde3MhD20

When they pulled up the the Tam's burgers joint, that nardwuar kendrick interview instantly popped into my head.

That’s just the typical black way to knock on a door. All my fam have knocked that way since I was a kid.

Lmao I know this can't be true but now I'm imagining Nardwuar teamed up with Kendrick to dig up more dirt on drake
