What has Pitchfork, Billboard, and almost every news outlet buzzing right now? The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick has been active on social media releasing several tracks in response to Drake’s public call out on his track, “Family Matters” and “Push Ups.” Today, Kendrick Lamar has given us yet another diss track titled, “Not Like Us.”
The feud has involved producer Metro Boomin, Future, and now DJ Mustard hops in on the track. Each track from Kendrick has very distinct personalities, and “Not Like Us” follows suit. The horn samples and snaps on the beat are reminiscent of the early 2010s YMCMB roster vibe. Kendrick holds no punches as he calls out Drake’s character, associates and reception by the general public.
“Not Like Us” follows Lamar’s other Drake diss tracks “6:16 In LA,” “Meet The Grahams” and “Euphoria.” J. Cole had previously released Kendrick Lamar diss track called “7 Minute Drill” but he ended up removing it from streaming services and apologizing, stating, “That’s the lamest shit I ever did.” Lamar had also guested on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” from their album WE DON’T TRUST YOU.
