    All of the videos from this album have been lackluster. That's par for the course with Dreamville. They need a creative director/team if they don't have one already. And if they didn't want to credit Kendrick on this song and then go on to not have him in the video, they could've let somebody else do a hook on it. It's so weird for them to just be standing there awkwardly while his part plays

    i dont think its that they didnt want to credit him, im sure kendrick gave them that hook free of charge. that probably explains why he aint get credited as a feature. Ib said kendrick came to the studio and he played him the album and kendrick blessed him with the hook. remember the song originallly aint have a hook, im sure thats what they was going to go with, no hook doing that lil bridge through ouut the track. and he probably aint in the video because he couldnt make the s---t lol, that happens a lot in the industry where certain artists cant make a video s---t so they do it without them, that's normal. idk why some people were expecting him anyway, shouldve known

    His voice is on the song, he provided the hook. He should be credited on the song whether they paid him or not. Rotd3 sessions had a lot of up and comers and nobodies who probably worked for free but were still credited on songs. They didn't put "featuring Kendrick Lamar" because 1. The shock value of people hearing him on the song unexpectedly and 2. Once they put the tracklist out, attention would've gone straight to Kendrick once people saw his name. They didn't want a Kendrick/Cole song to be the selling point for this album, in my opinion. Remember when they were recording you had everybody constantly asking Ibrahim if Kendrick was there. I didn't expect him to be in the video, it just looks stupid how they're basically waiting for the hook to end so they can rap

    How good is this production? Q-Tip killed it

    Danny seems to be going the more traditional hip hop route. Less manic and trippy and more of a smooth and easygoing tone. s----s dope

    I still don’t think that’s the reason.. i think it’s kinda like how ari ain’t get credited as a feature on change.. it’s some label s---. Like how jid is on oh wow swerve , but ain’t get credited as a feature on there or how 1/2 of earthgang can get credited as earthgang.

    the guy who did the artwork probably just added Kendrick in the artwork. so they had no other choice but to tag him lol.And even with him in the artwork, I still ain’t expect him to be in the video lol. Idk why, especially that he wasn’t in none of the shots they dropped before the vid released should’ve told people right there that he didn’t make the video s---t lol,

    "Change " should've said featuring Ari Lennox. She was in the documentary with him (on HBO) and she performed it with him on tour. They just wanted to continue the whole "no features" thing. There's no label conflict there; they signed her.

    I think Cole should go in his videos totally and fully in this goofy style
    And it's funny there is a filiation between Cole and DaBaby in this style

    It's just weird because the concept of the video is too simple

    A lot of songs have hooks from artists and the artist don’t get credited as a feature... that’s not the first time that ever happened.. hella pac songs had whole hooks from different women and they didnt get credited as a feature, but they get credited as additional vocals. Why?? Idk. That’s some behind the scenes label s---.. from what I see from ib and Cole I doubt they would do that just to continue a no features gimmick lol. If they did , that’s lame as h---.

    Lol yes, they did! Just like he trolled us with "k--- Edward". He's like "they're gonna think I got features this time around but its really me" *evil laugh* As soon as I saw "k--- Edward" I knew it was Cole. You can call them out on their bs and still be a fan you know.
