If you’ve tuned into any radio station or steaming service within the last couple of months, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard the hypnotic diss track by Kendrick Lamar called “Not Like Us.” Kendrick gave power to his message by performing a ritual on Juneteenth called “The Pop-Out” and releasing his video for “Not Like Us” on the 4th of July. The video is full of music, messages, and magic that we’ll decode on today’s show.
Kendrick was not the only one to use the magic of music to bring his village together. A similar ritual was performed in the movie “The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” by its hero, who goes by the name of Noa. This movie also uses a number of ancient sciences to get its point across. We’ll continue our series on the Ape Madness while also taking a look at the cross sections between the movie and the music; the monkey and the man.
So take a walk with us as we hop out towards the Kingdom while enjoying the movies, music, and magic of Not Like Apes.
