Background/composition sections seem redundant
[edit]Should the info in the latter half of the background section be reorganized in the composition section? The background should probably elaborate on the production as information comes out and summarize the feud up to this track. Echonioni (talk) 01:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Requested move 17 May 2024

The result of the move request was: Moved (non-admin closure) >>> Extorc.talk 17:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
– WP:PTOPIC. There is no page for the Brantley Gilbert song on Not Like Us, and Not Like Us (film) got a total of 1,533 pageviews last year (as well as being questionable in notability). Not Like Us (song) has received a quarter of a million views in its 11 day lifetime. Although it could lose some traction when the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud settles down in the future, it'd still be drastically primary for Not Like Us. Koopastar (talk) 03:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

- Support per nom - it is far more notable than the others; plus it peaked at the very top of the Billboard HOT 100. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 03:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

The song simply can't have a legacy now
[edit]A legacy is "something that is a part of history or that remains from an earlier time" according to Cambridge dictionary. The song came out 4 May. I don't think that now by the middle of May it would have a legacy. If anyone wants to argue that is cool but I'll keep removing it(with my reason given here being the talk page) since it clearly doesn't have a legacy YET. Words like "aftermath" or "impact" are better suiting. Here is the link and as you can see there are many different definitions but none suitable enough for it to have a "legacy" as each definition has to do with the past and not current events.Cambridge Dictionary 67.230.43.126 (talk) 21:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Copyright
[edit]"Both Lamar and Drake have reportedly released copyright claims on their diss tracks" This sounds like they've sent out (takedown) claims for their songs. Should be rephrased? --Gert7 (talk · contribs) 13:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Even if I don't think the sentence could be misinterpreted, I get that "released" may be sometimes defined as "give out." I replaced the word with "removed." How's that? Carlinal (talk) 14:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
Crip walk
[edit]As of now, the only mention of crip walking in this article is when Serena Williams crip walked to the song. In the music video, though, there are several notable examples of crip walking. Some I've seen described as such (on socials especially) are the crosswalk shot, the scene with Whitney, and the opening dance.
I looked among the existing references to see if this was mentioned and found the below.
Describing Whitney as crip walking:
GQ [1] And if their appearance, plus some strategic blocking, wasn't enough to get the point across, Whitney steps out and hits a mean cripwalk to Mustard's beat.
CBC [2] In the video, Lamar stands behind both his daughter, Uzi, and son, Enoch, in a black-and-white family album-type photo, before cutting to shots of Alford performing an impressive crip walk dance move alongside Lamar.
Other moments as crip walking:
NME [3] Along the way, Lamar works out in a sparse room populated by just speakers and canvases, performs alongside Crip-Walking dancers, visits Tam’s Burgers and brings out a massive crowd onto Compton’s streets to jam along to the track.
Complex [4] Looking at footage of herself on the tightrope, [Charm La'Donna] continues, “I'm trying to Crip walk on the damn rope, but it's hard, so I'm trying to do my best in the balance and still get the walk off.
It feels like it's justified to at least describe Whitney's dancing as crip walking. Thoughts welcome. ghostlight :^) (talk) 22:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
