Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap feud has escalated to new heights with the release of Lamar’s latest diss track, ‘Not Like Us.’ The track, which dropped on Saturday evening, marks the third installment in just 36 hours, intensifying the already heated exchange between the two hip-hop heavyweights.
In the song, which can be found on Lamar’s official YouTube channel, he takes direct aim at Drake with provocative lyrics and imagery. The track features an aerial view of Drake’s mansion outside Toronto adorned with “sex-offender” map symbols, as Lamar launches into a barrage of personal attacks, including references to Drake’s controversial comments about dating younger women.
With lines like “Certified paedophile” delivered in a comically exaggerated Southern accent, Lamar doesn’t hold back in his criticisms of Drake. The track also touches on sensitive topics such as Drake’s collaborations with Atlanta-based artists, portraying him as a “colonizer” and a “liar.”
As the song concludes, Lamar leads a female chorus in chanting “O-vee-ho,” poking fun at Drake’s company, OVO, and his hit track ‘Toosie Slide.’ The rapid succession of diss tracks has kept fans on edge, with the feud involving other prominent figures in the rap industry.
With tensions at an all-time high, fans eagerly anticipate the next move in this rap saga as Kendrick Lamar and Drake continue to spar lyrically in their quest for supremacy in the hip-hop arena.
