K. Point recorded the music video in Compton over the weekend, and its release will inevitably breathe new life into the song – which, while extremely danceable, is still, crucially, a great chance of success. Drake.
HMJ says that at the end of the day it’s all about art and creativity, and “Not Like Us” is checking all the boxes right now.
Recording Academy voters will ultimately be the decision makers, but Harvey doesn’t think Kendrick’s angry lyrics will neither influence nor repel committee members.
He also notes that Kendrick is far from a stranger to the Grammys and their voters. In fact, his 17 wins place him among the greatest of all time.
A separate diss track category isn’t out of the question either. It’s been a tough year for beef, and HMJ recognizes that there have been some good ones recently.
The bottom line is…whatever the voters want, they will get!!!
