Kendrick Lamar is finally approaching its chart topping Drake diss “Not Like Us” – in true Gemini fashion… there is a time for peace and a time for fighting!!!
The future Super Bowl halftime performer was asked what “Not Like Us” meant to him by his longtime friend and “All The Stars” collaborator. SZA for your Harper’s Bazaar cover story Monday… he says “Not Like Us” embodies his personality!!!

“’Not Like Us’ is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent,” K. Dot told SZA with a laugh. “Now, if you identify with the man I represent… This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands for something.
Ironically, it was on Kendrick’s track “Euphoria” that he accused Drake of not having that ethos… “Not Like Us” virtually called out the OVO camp as cultural vultures and pedophiles for 4 minutes.
K. Dot elaborated further…”He is a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share them and can delve into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he is less of a man.
“If I’m thinking about ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking about myself and whoever identifies with it.”
Tensions have risen amid the Rap Wars of 2024 and Kendrick’s lyrics have become especially bloodthirsty, as heard on tracks like “Meet The Grahams”… but the pgLang rapper claims the source of his ether is balance.

“I don’t believe he’s an angry person,” Kendrick explained. “But I believe in love and war, and I believe both need to exist. And my awareness of this allows me to react to things but not identify with them as who I am. through me. That’s what I believe.”
