In the music video for “Not Like Us”, there is a brief scene where Kendrick and DJ Mustard grab a bite to eat at Tam’s Burgers while a dancer performs in the background.
TMZ reports that Tam’s Burgers has stated that its business has increased by 30% to 40% since Kendrick Lamar dropped the visual for “Not Like Us.” Tam’s manager Lauro Hernandez and his son Bryan Noe told TMZ Hip Hop that customers have been flocking to their Rosecrans Avenue location in Compton since the July 4 launch.
Both Lauro and Bryan told the outlet that most visitors mentioned “Not Like Us” as a reason for stopping by. However, the restaurant continues to receive strong support from longtime locals.
