NOT LIKE US
by KENDRICK LAMAR
The diss track that started a thousand think-pieces and ended one of the most captivating rap beefs of the 21st century. Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us is an incendiary sniper shot at long-time rival Drake, a scathing attack that salts the earth so nothing else can grow.
Not Like Us was the 10th track released amongst Kendrick and Drake's very public wrangling, released just one day after Kendrick's own Meet The Grahams, which had been a direct response to Drake's Family Matters.
Produced by Kendrick's regular collaborators DJ Mustard and Sounwave, Not Like Us contains a sample of Ray Charles's I Believe To My Soul, which was covered by Monk Higgings in 1968, which is where the track takes direct inspiration.
One of the most acclaimed tracks of 2024 (and seen by many as the release that officially called Kendrick the 'winner' of the public feud), Not Like Us experienced a massive resurgence in popularity following Kendrick's performance of the track at his Super Bowl LIX half-time show (the conceit of which being the entire performance was hinged around Kendrick teasing his performance of the track), following his wins of both Record and Song of the year the 2025 Grammy Awards, a notable recognition for the both the popularity and cultural impact of the song.
