No way. The beat is incredibly catchy, the lyrics are sharp, witty, and unique, and it's the epitome of a diss track.

You just simply can't understand the song if you weren't raised in America, especially Black America.
by corwinraymond2 months ago
Y'all are just mad a biracial Canadian (of partial Black American lineage btw) outdid (and continues to outdo) the full Black American rappers. That's what this whole "beef" was about. Drake will always have a bigger global impact and better numbers than little Kenny, and boy does that make the "culture" seethe. LMAO
by Anonymous2 months ago
for American hip hop and the American music scene, yes it absolutely does matter. you're calling them ego centric yet i think that describes you.

This point is pretty stupid, the dude who the dis-track is about isn't even American.

i forgot hip hop started in canada.
by Krista102 months ago
That's kinda the point of some of the disses Kendrick sent. He a middle to upper class Canadian dude that's pretending to be a gangster from the hood black American in a lot of his songs. Culture vulture was the rhyme. Not saying you can't make gangster rap as a middle class dude, just don't pretend you weren't in real life.
by Jaydongorczany2 months ago
Sometimes there are nuances that you just can't understand without being there. You don't understand the cultural impact because you cannot see it.

Yeah, no, not many hip-hop beefs reach that point. Let's remember we've seen more than enough to know that Tupac and Biggies death were to do with Suge and Diddy. The few that reach that far, it's usually their friends that end up getting shot.

I do not disagree at all, never ever stood a chance, what I said is he made a better effort than Kendrick and Drake. Then look at Killshot. That's a diss track, made a man switch genres and become a fashion accessory.

by Hattie872 months ago
When I say better, I mean, firstly not better than Em. That was never happening. I mean, with his lack of any discernible talent put up a better fight against Eminem someone who was always going to destroy him, than Kendrick an incredibly talented artist did against an easy listening artist like Drake.

Euphoria >>> Not Like Us. Fact.
by Anonymous2 months ago
Euphoria doesn't get enough attention because Not Like Us is so popular. 6min+ songs are difficult to get people to listen to repeatedly though.
by Anonymous2 months ago
Euphoria is for sure better, but the brilliance of NLU is how catchy and commercial it was. Kendrick intended for NLU to be the song everyone was going to sing and it succeeded.
by Anonymous2 months ago
Same. I heard so much hype but when I finally listened to it for the 1st time: straight garbage.
by Anonymous2 months ago
Song was made for white people to feel more allied to "real" black people and reject adjacent black culture (Drake). You see how white people get super excited about it? They want to feel "in the know of the real culture".

Weak ass boomer style opinion. There's so much good hip-hop that clears 90s stuff, which was obviously a special era. Honestly don't think anybody with real familiarity to the genre can say this

Kendrick Lamar is the type of rapper white people need to like to feel good about being white and an ally. From a political perspective that's the play here. Drake is Vanilla Ice compared to KL in today's money.

Kendrick went for the trendy/catchy with this song specifically to show, among other things, that he COULD be like Drake - the nr. 1 generic hip-hop artist - if he wanted to. He just doesn't. Listen to Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers (the album) and tell me if that is meant to be trendy/catchy.

I agree I've never understood the hype I can't stand Kendricks voice. But I do recognize that he's talented, just not for me.
by Anonymous2 months ago
The number 1 priority of the Grammys is highlighting popular songs and artists. Doesn't mean a good song, album, or artist can't win, but popularity is the number 1 criteria. Not Like Us was the most popular diss track to come out last year so it makes sense that it gets the rewards even though Euphoria is a better diss track to me overall. Not Like Us isn't a bad song though imo.
by Ckub2 months ago
I agree. I love Kendrick too and he destroyed Drake but it's just not what I listen to when I want to listen to rap or even Kendrick. I think people just have like a hate boner for calling out pedos which is a great mindset but that does not make the music GOOD imo.
by Anonymous2 months ago
I actually agree with this, it's kind of a meh song especially for Kendrick. The drama around the beef is what's driving its popularity imo

by Rutherfordkrist2 months ago
It's not beyond belief. The song being overplayed doesn't make it bad. It's an amazing song, and it wasn't meant to be the big diss. It was meant to be a "dancing on your grave" type song. It hit #1 in many categories, have longevity, and was the biggest song in 2024. It deserved those Grammys
by Anonymous2 months ago
That might be but culturally that song was an insane event. And a significant part of pop music in general is about cultural significance, and a part is musical virtuosity. Not Like Us spiked on the first one.

by Mammoth-Ad4422 months ago

Great music can't be popular as its released. People don't "get" great music instantly. Popular music takes a bunch of elements of great older music and meshes them together. Then people find some part of the song catchy. Not Like Us is no different. But, it went a step further. Not Like Us got people in a frenzy and excited to call this man's sworn enemy a pdf file in unison. Over and over again. In terms of pop music thats brilliant. People still play the song out of sheer spite. I don't think Ive ever heard a grammys crowd shout in unison during a walk up while a song plays in the background. This song was catchy enough and struck a common nerve. It also carries a big regional significance that I can observe but can't understand since Im not from there.

Of course he didn't. The argument for Kendrick's track being good is that you must love Drake and be a paedophile if you disagree, really highlights what's good about the song. If that's your argument that's not even shaky ground that's cracking ice.
