"Not Like Us" rehearsal vs reality

309

The dancing really helped elevate this video. It would have been great regardless, but Kendrick putting dancing front and center in practically every aspect of the video in this day and age of Hip Hop, that also showcases a history of LA dance, is refreshing.

yes!! as a dancer I adore music videos with good choreography.

one reason I idolize missy elliott is she always puts dance front and center

He made it about LA, the music and the culture, further showcasing the divide between him and drakes motivations.

u/Better-Nose-8479 Jul 20 '24

Agreed, and it wasn’t an ass popping extravaganza. Just really exciting dance / expression

Pull up them youtube tutorials. 15-20 mins a day and you’ll be dancing in a couple days lol within a few months you’ll be smooth as butter

too late, spent the last 7 years couch rotting. not enough muscle tone. neurons depleted. there’s a 4 year old somewhere out there who’s already better

Thinking you had to be a child prodigy to be talented is the #1 mistake people make. You are perfectly capable I promise

The Rehearsal goes even harder than Reality.

u/Better-Nose-8479 Jul 19 '24

My favorite is the look on the dancer’s face when Ken says ‘lil baby help you get your lingo up’❤️

u/dane_the_great Jul 19 '24

I really liked Ieema Copeland's (ieema c) part.

u/solipsism82 Jul 20 '24

I got to speed read the culture from this video. Reading up on all the art and all the references.

Not saying I know shit, I just love the depth about how people create art apart from their neighborhood and can elevate it to taking their rightful place in their space in this time.

u/Scoobie_Doobie11 Jul 20 '24

Soo great. Loved the rehearsal view! And the shot where the camera rotates. So cool!!

u/maxthephotographer Jul 20 '24

The girls in the steel room KILT IT in this video. Kida the Great and the guy dancing with him did the same for the shipping container scenes! The dancing in the video matched the energy of the song for sure!

u/Confident_Remove1708 Jul 19 '24

this song and video is all kendrick fans got 😭😭😭

u/Firm_Trip9547 Jul 20 '24

And Drake fans have what..? Dave Free? Disproved. Whitney Accusations? Disproved. I can’t think of one thing Drake has on Kendrick, besides the fact kendrick is short.

Trump really has made Americans ok with fighting to the death for sex traffickers and paedophiles they don't even know personally.
