In the latest addition to the intense rap battles, Kendrick Lamar has dropped a new track “Not Like Us,” targeting none other than Drake. The song is loaded with intricate lyrics and scathing remarks..
The song begins with an aggressive tone, as Kendrick sets the stage with a series of metaphorical punches: “Psst, I see dead people / Muzza on the beat, ho.” The introduction with “I see dead people” could be interpreted as Kendrick seeing his competitors as no threat.
Kendrick does not shy away from direct name-drops and accusations. He refers to Drake in several lines, critiquing his authenticity and behavior. The lyrics “Certified lover boy, certified pedophiles” and “Drake, I hear you like I’m young” are particularly harsh, implying serious character flaws and questionable actions by Drake.
Throughout the track, Kendrick weaves in cultural references, comparing the situation to historical and contemporary contexts, asserting his superiority not just in music but in a broader cultural sense. The mention of “The family matter and the truth for the matter / Here’s what God’s plan to show y’all the liar” twists Drake’s own song titles and public persona against him.
