He wasn’t done talking! Kendrick Lamar just dropped another track aimed at Drake called “Not Like Us”.
Listen below:
This is Kendrick’s third song in 24 hours and according to Variety features an aerial view of Drake‘s mansion outside Toronto.
Based around a simple keyboard loop, “Not Like Us” features Lamar rapping in a comically exaggerated Southern accent and opens with him whispering “Pssst: I see dead people” before he launches into another long series of personal attacks on Drake, starting off with the Canadian rapper’s controversial comments about dating younger women.
“Say Drake, I hear you like ‘em young / You better not have to go to Cell Block One,” he begins before a dig at the title of Drake’s 2021 album — “ ‘Certified Lover Boy’? Certified pedophile” — and concluding that segment with a musical pun: “Why you trolllin’ like a bitch, ain’t you tired? Trying to strike a chord, and it’s probably a-minor.”
As usual, there are so many lyrics that we’ll leave the deep analysis to the experts, but there’s not much mystery about the Atlanta-themed lines that close the song (among other connections to the city, Drake was the subject of a 2018 episode of Donald Glover’s popular TV series), which finishes with a dig at another song, “God’s Plan.”
“You run to Atlanta where you need a few dollars/ You not a colleague, you a fuckin’ colonizer/ The family matter and the truth of the matter/ It was God’s Plan to show you’re a liar.”
The song fades out with Lamar leading a female chorus chanting “O-vee-ho” — a play on Drake’s company, OVO — and making fun of his hit “Toosie Slide” again.
Kendrick dropped again.. WTF…
