Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video is on the way.

Kendrick Lamar was on a bit of a victory lap last week. Overall, it all started with "The Pop Out." It was here where Kendrick brought out numerous West Coast artists in an effort to unify Los Angeles. Moreover, it was an opportunity for him to perform his Drake diss tracks for the first time. In fact, he ended up delivering five-straight performances of "Not Like Us" which was the equivalent of twisting the knife in a stab wound.

Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar kept up the momentum as he was in Compton to film the "Not Like Us" music video. Fans are anticipating the video to come out this week, although there is no exact timeline for its release. Clips from the video shoot are going viral, including one in which Kendrick is walking by a crowd. As he makes his way through, a hand reaches over and pinches him on the cheek. Lamar subsequently looks up and delivers a bright smile before heading on his way.
