Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” a diss track of fellow rapper Drake, has already been declared the “song of the summer” by some listeners who have been playing it on repeat.
Lamar, apparently, really likes it too. The rap superstar performed the track not one, not two, not, three, not four but five times at his “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” show, a Juneteenth concert on Wednesday that was livestreamed on Twitch by Amazon Music. The song was released as part of a recent rap battle between Lamar and Drake that saw the two hip-hop artists releasing diss tracks at a frantic pace in April.
The Pulitzer Prize winning rapper is a native of Los Angeles and at one point in his performance asked the audience, “Y’all ain’t gonna let nobody disrespect the West Coast, huh?” His beef with Drake has been referenced by many as reminiscent of the historic East Coast versus West Coast battle from the 1990s that stemmed from tensions between the late rapper Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls .
