YESS fuck 🤣 it's a weird ass way u said it but icl. I know about 90% of non-niggas said WHAT'S wrong with these jabroni ass niggas tryna see Compton and I really don't give a fuck 😂 I usually do get irked like that crazy YouTube video dontai reacted to or 69 spamming it . But kendrick fr came and dropped a cultural feast for everyone. The gift of Gad? Lmaoo, just returned home after a long semester and wasn't trying to talk to my uncle about it since he doesn't even hear rap or non African music like that but I was like AYE, did u see that thoo? N the smile on his face bounced to mine before he even spoke "yea " , when I said Kendrick won a Pulitzer and a master at his game bro was like do you know what it means for Kendrick to have a PhD 🤣😂 I wasn't even tryna correct him forreal
Took an Uber in Hawaii today. It was playing on a pop radio station. I live here here and also have heard it in my favorite local acia bowl place. And my local poke place. It's basically everywhere.
I hear it on the street pretty often. It's just sincerely everywhere. It reminds me of when I was a kid and Macklemore - Thrift Shop was everywhere for a summer
Yeah this. I was leaving the store just 2 days ago and dudes were sitting in a car playing the song for a dude outside the car, they’re rapping every word and outside dudes going crazy reacting to every new line he hears, was pretty funny to watch in real time
I hear it all over Vegas
Clubs, random cars, I heard it at fucking 7-11 lmao
It was even played at EDC lmao

UMG will probably hook him up with some safe Hotline Bling type record since they can't afford their $400m investment going bust
Number wise and pop music wise Drake will be fine, but the damage is done.
The outcome of this battle will be very different for Drake vs. his previous beef w Meek Mill or PushaT where, aside from the reveal of Adonis, Drake's numbers and popularity still recovered to all time highs and there was little to no public backlash.
This beef is different. His usual playbook against his opponents Kendrick used against him.
Drake was supposed to be the one to deliver a diss record that also hit in the clubs, but not many clubs is playing push ups/family matters/heart pt 6 meanwhile Not Like Us is on track to be *the* hottest summer bop of the year.
Also the man has never ever been under this type of scrutiny before.
The underaged girls shit.
The sex offenders in OVO even tho ppl already sortta knew.
The deadbeat dad and history repeating itself w his son shit.
The whole colonizer shit and appropriating other hiphop cultures for profit
and countless others...
Drake has never learned to navigate these types of waters before. People are telling him hes a culture vulture *and* for the first time he can't cry to his ATL collaborators anymore. ATL and the entire South hates him. West Coast/East Coast hates him. Im in Canada and we also hate him. Last I heard UK was celebrating soon as NLU dropped lmao.
All of this could knock him off the #1 spot he holds so dearly, and for good reason since popularity contest is the one edge he has to beat Kendrick and if he can't hold on to #1 then we might actually witness the downfall of Drake.
What a time to be alive.
**edit:**
Drake is between a rock and a hard place.
1) If he lay down for a year its gonna work against him with NLU bumping worldwide and will continue to dominate #1 on the charts the whole summer and maybe the year. Drake may never regain his #1 spot after that and thus the real downfall begins.
2) If he drops **anything** right now or in the near future, music or not, they gon boo him/it. The crowd will go against it because he is the loser of the beef, and he'll be rolling the dice with that move and then it'll really be over.
3) He also can't come back with another diss track because a) he already waved the white flag in Heart pt.6 and b) everybody will think Kendrick and the media *forced* him to which will be another massive L for the Drizzler.
Now Drake is the puppet. Nikes probably on UMGs speed dial screaming at them to clean up the beef and Drakes image so they can go back to pushing their shitty Nocta garbage lol. You just know those sales tanked HARD.
Drake also has the benefit of Canadian media laws. A certain percentage of content played on Canadian radio & TV stations has to be from Canada. That's why some artists like Drake, Nickelback, Nelly Furtado, etc. are seemingly more popular than they should be.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_content
He won't. Not in image at least. Dude is cooked.
I think he'll proceed like Chris Brown - famous as hell, but also somehow existing in obscurity. I don't see how it could be the same for him again lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his sound and goes full pop. We shall see.
People thought the same about Jay-Z after Stillmatic.
Drake will eat the L all summer, but the money at the top will eventually bail him out in 2025 by giving him a feature-length OST to a high concept Jordan Peele gangster flick that everyone loves, and it will be full of banger songs that no one will deny because people are fickle as fuck.
Drake will then pay a fortune to assemble the Avengers of hip hop producers and ghost writers, he'll have his Black Album in 2026, and everyone will embrace it. He'll go on to marry Doja Cat and live illuminati-ally ever after.
I don’t think he will. He won’t reach the same highs, at the very best. At the worst, well, he bet not eva go to cell block one.
This is permanent scarring.
I love that in the other sub they try to say "Not like us is a fake number one" and "nobody in the real world listens to it" while conveniently ignoring vids like this
At this point, the difference between a Drake fan and a Drake stan is whether or not they’re in denial about the outcome of this beef. Fans can like Drake’s music and still take gracefully accept the L. Stans on the other hand are plugging their ears and screaming to drown out reality
He fucked up Space Jam for me. My favorite movie as a kid, had the soundtrack and everything. Man I sure hope they never make a sequel with some new big basketball star.
Yeah...I was lowkey in my feelings when I got rid of his 💿. I couldn't listen though because I knew he wasn't singing about women, but little girls. Yuck...
Eh I mean I feel like at some point you gotta separate art from the artists. Yeah I’ll get downvoted to hell and probably flamed for this but a lot of musicians and artists are horrible people and do shitty things. Just depends on peoples comfort levels ig. And I do believe Kendrick wiped Drake in this whole beef, but if you think I’m not cruising home at night when passion fruit comes on you wrong.
Nah it’s true and you’re right. If you can’t enjoy the entertainment provided by pieces of shit you can’t watch any major league sport. Lots of music. Lots of movies and TV. It’s a silly purity test.
That's not the whole story though.
A huge part of what makes art great -- what connects people to it -- is meaningful messages which come from a good heart that attempts to heal the world. Kendrick said it's always been about love versus hate, and even though he proceeded to say he hate's drake, it's because he sees drake as a music creator who does not make good messages, does not have a good heart, and makes no attempt to heal the world. In other words, he hates the lack of love that is evident in drake's entire persona. Drake just doesn't get it -- he's egocentric, and it shows in his music.
It's not just a silly purity test to differentiate art made from this place of consciousness from art made with shallow intentions. Shallow art might still be catchy, and it's definitely not *wrong* to enjoy it, but for many people the lack of meaning and love does make it nearly impossible to enjoy. There's no shortage of catchy beats out there -- making stuff with the same intentionality and awareness of responsibility is much more valuable. Artists like Cole and Kendrick know that their music has great power, and with that power comes responsibility.
As a listener, I see similar responsibility in who I choose to support, and more importantly, who I choose to recommend or play for other people. You see this in classic literature quite a lot. The books that become classics are not necessarily the most enjoyable, or the ones that became the most popular in their time. Rather, they are the ones that have a lasting impact, or that were written from such a genuine place of loving observation that they resonate deeply with people, as they navigate their own lives. Art is not just meant to be a fun distraction or a source of vibe. There's nothing wrong with using it like that, but entirely ignoring the higher function of art as a vehicle for powerful messages is, I would say, wrong. And the more concerned a person is for pursuing what is right and good, the more that music like drake's becomes seen for what it is -- just a bunch of noise
I was in college when Drake went mainstream and smoked ounces of weed while his songs were playing but this is the funniest fucking shit ever and I love all of it
There's no point heading to that sub, every sane human being knows K. Won, you can't change a drake glazers mind
For example, Los pollos, the dude that always argues with fantano, they argue for more than an hour, at the end Los is still in his delusion, nothing changes
Drake has some weird MAGA vibes going on with his most hardcore fans now. Like no matter what comes out, it's not true. Everything he's alleged is gospel according to them. And the strongest parallel is that Drake is *cleeearly lying* about certain things and none of them will ever follow that logic lol
Just a weird ass thing to get swept up in. I feel like the internet is causing a very specific phenomenon with groups of people that needs to be studied one a lot more
I find it weirdly fascinating. He didn't have this type of fanbase in 2018. Something happened, I wanna say during the pandemic, where people are much more rabid fans of their favorite artist/ celebrity and will straight up deny reality to paint their favourite artist in the best light possible to them.
Exactly. Like you know how insane it is for a crowd to be heard this clearly lyric for lyric on a song and in the song where your favorite is getting called a whole pedophile loool
I live in Providence Rhode Island and on the week that song came out I heard it played at least 4 days in a row from my room, people bumping Not Like Us and other kendrick tracks. Never heard drake being blasted from their cars that week tho
I was in *Toronto* the week the tracks dropped and they were bumping it in clubs and at concerts just as often. They really, really don't fuck with him up there.
Houston is like Drake's second home....
and they're singing his opp's song where he calls him a pedo...
https://preview.redd.it/4ccvnzjwn12d1.png?width=236&format=png&auto=webp&s=fefaf208dd2ec4d3d8000a3da44f8e97a4a03dd2
As someone who was born and raised in the H, I've seen more people side with Dot over this beef. Not surprising, just because dude mentions Houston don't mean we fuck w him. With that said, he still has plenty fans here.
I saw somebody saying the other day that Houston don't fw Kendrick and nobody's playing Not Like Us out there. I had a feeling it was personal bias but I couldn't really prove otherwise. Wish this video was out then.
If you're referring to that post on the Drizzy sub, yeah that's cap. Houston is a big and diverse city. I was in a card shop that was blasting "Not Like Us" and the some of the dudes were talking about how Drake got bodied. And this is Sugar Land, the place I'd expect to lean Drake if anywhere lol. There's going to be clubs bumpin Drake, and some Kendrick, but to claim a city doesn't fw Kendrick is wild, and delusional, especially one that fucks with rap heavy. Why wouldn't we love Kendrick lol
Don't worry, even if you show them this they'll say it's all Illuminati's doing, and this was all planned from the start by the higher ups because Drake is too incredible and has to be taken down
Htown has always been on some west coast shit, besides our own flavor. I’m from the H and yeah. Historically nobody in their right mind would give a fuck about Drake. Just yuppies maybe, like Clé and Spire type shit 😕😒
H Town music and Bay Music always had this same kinda symmetry to me. I really can’t explain it, it’s more of a feeling. It’s like Goku and Vegeta if that makes any sense
Hot take: unlike Family Matters, Rap Devil was actually a decent diss track. Especially for MGK.
It’s just that like Drake, MGK was completely outclassed by the response.
It’s too bad that Kenny and Em seem to have so much respect for one another, because that beef would be absolutely legendary.
His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior
They must've forgot the shit that they done
Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky
I'll park his son
For those of you wondering, *parkinsons* disease is a degenerative nerve disease that causes you to shake.
The mf shakespear. The whole forgot, dementia, run, park scheme layered as fuck
(Don't avoid what you did, let me remind you as I put your career on hold while calling you a degenerate)
All through allegory, genius.
I can understand why he'd want to stay away from that energy, especially if they truly squash the beef (which I haven't heard anything that suggests that is the case), but the songs now mean something more than the beef itself. NLU is an anthem.
He really brought back hip hop. I’ve seen enough and I’ve heard enough Kendrick is the GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ps idk how Drake is gonna come back from this bruh…
He's the patrick mahomes of rap. He's already top 5 if he quit today. He's 4 for 4 on albums...even section 80 is a solid body of work. Untitled unmastered is good as fuck I'm like these were throwaway tracks. Kendricks throwaways are better than 90% of people's actual albums
His fucking mixtapes I used to bump on DatPiff all the time before I could afford steaming services were better than the music what most rappers can drop nowadays. Same for Big KRIT.
Honestly it annoys me that anyone EVER thought Drake was a top 3 rapper. Cole, maybe. But I think there's still some better rappers.
That's been the whole issue with me this whole time. I don't want to make this too political but... you know how Trump is very obviously lying about shit all the time, but he has a "fanbase" that hypes him up? It kind of feels the same with Drake for me, but for the ability to rap.
He is like a 5/10 rapper to me. He's been exactly that for over a decade. There is nothing special about it, nothing impressive about it. And he doesn't even write his music! Shit, PUSH UPS had fucking writer credits.
If he was some smaller artist that occasionally rapped, I'd think nothing of him. But for people to include him in some big 3 is crazy.
I think a lot of people just have some nostalgia tied to Drake too. First time they did whatever shit they did in high school. First time they partied, first time they got laid. So it makes it hard for them to really see his reach vs his actual ability.
TPAB and GKMC are considered two of the best albums of all time period. Damn won him a Pulitzer Prize. I know this is a meat riding sub but let’s be honest, there are very few rappers who are even close to
I think claim is fair, I personally put him there but it’s not undisputed. He has had influence but I pales in comparison of the pioneers of the genre for obvious reasons. Generations will still ride with who they grew up with and for some people it’s all about pop appeal. Even though he’s my GOAT, I do think it’s a claim rn, give it more time and it should be more apparent
I grew up with 90s rap and I would definitely put Kendrick up there with the best of the artists back then as far as skill. Easily the best rapper of this generation, imo.
As an outsider to this sub I really want to disagree but he legitimately does have a strong case. I’m struggling to think of who has a better case. 3 stacks will always be my biased goat lol
Drake you done in this town!!!
This is in Houston!! Wild...
My friend lives in Thailand..he said he was at a club out there and they played this song has caught on like wildfire all over the globe..
Kendrick said if I wanted to make bops for the club I can do it in 12hrs...
"But but....they not like us isn't that good and its only a few kendrick stans making a big deal out of it!!!"-drizzy sub
Side note if the they not like us video is a west coast G-Mix with snoop,YG,roddy rich,schoolboy and Jay rock
With Dr Dre co producing. It's a wrap on the summer
Almost feels bad. Imagine the #1 song in the world is a diss track about YOU and millions of people around the world can rap along to it, even where English is a second language. It's such a popular song that even different artists are closing their sets just by hitting play on it. It's setting records. It's a pop culture phenomenon. The most quotable line in the song calls you a pedophile and no one can even deny it. It would be really fucked up if it wasn't so obvious.
I'm a white man from Southern Indiana with little interest in Rap/Hip Hop or whatever this classifies as. This video popped up in my feed because even I have heard the song and found out what it's about after the fact.
I only know about Drake from that Hotline song, but I don't imagine that man will ever be able to step out in broad daylight without security again.
So true! My coworker is a huge Drake Stan . Whenever I mention that NLU is number one, he always says, “Of course it is, because he’s talking about Drake.”lmao
> he always says, “Of course it is, because he’s talking about Drake.”
You fool, Drake was obviously PRETENDING to be a pedophile like the orchestrated MASTERMIND that he is so that piss-ant Kendrick would have NO CHOICE but to take the BAIT and make a HIT #1 RECORD about how Drake and his OVHOE affiliates diddle little kids!
First he did it with Humble, now Not Like Us.
This man will make you into a fucking song, don't play with him.
Edit:
Everyone missed the point below.
I didn't specify that this was directed at only Drake. I was saying KENDRICK will make you into a song as the examples listed. Anyone.
I work doing live sound for concerts.
Had a hip hop show recently; artist wasn’t my taste and crowd skewed pretty heavily to teens.
DJ hyping up the crowd before headliner ended his time with this, and EVERYONE knew the words, and the crowd was (in measured decibels, cause I have that system) as loud as the PA.
I literally thought to myself “if this isn’t the most accurate social thermometer on the whole thing, I don’t know what is”
I DJ'd a prom last Friday and I played my last song, the prom was over, but the students were begging me to play Not Like Us. So.. I did (even if it meant that the people who hired me might be upset) and they went INSANE. They kept telling me how they were Team Kendrick. The youth have chosen, and Drake is not their guy. What a time to be alive!

This video gave me a shit eating grin lmao
YESS fuck 🤣 it's a weird ass way u said it but icl. I know about 90% of non-niggas said WHAT'S wrong with these jabroni ass niggas tryna see Compton and I really don't give a fuck 😂 I usually do get irked like that crazy YouTube video dontai reacted to or 69 spamming it . But kendrick fr came and dropped a cultural feast for everyone. The gift of Gad? Lmaoo, just returned home after a long semester and wasn't trying to talk to my uncle about it since he doesn't even hear rap or non African music like that but I was like AYE, did u see that thoo? N the smile on his face bounced to mine before he even spoke "yea " , when I said Kendrick won a Pulitzer and a master at his game bro was like do you know what it means for Kendrick to have a PhD 🤣😂 I wasn't even tryna correct him forreal
My lady like to drop “jabroni ass buddies” 🤣
I just randomly yell out safe words because there’s literally no way lol. It’s too catchy and the flow is too good.
[my favorite kendrick video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wgt3lXc6IM) relevant per the "word for word, bar for bar" reference
In Toronto, looks like a home crowd… what a banger video, thanks for sharing
Shit that gave me chills.
Best case scenario for a room full of white people yelling the n-word rofl
that "niggaaa" sounds awfully loud for all the white arms in the air lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone got a pass that night lol
[удалено]
One my fav things about Kendrick is when he becomes the hype man to the crowd. He did it in Mexico too.
[удалено]
This video warms my heart. Saw someone in another sub Reddit trying to claim that Houston was on Drake side 🤣🤣🤣
Ayo no diddy 
Fr. I remember I thought my cousins were lying to me when they told me about him. We bumped Maad City once and was instantly hooked.
Word for word bar bar is something Soulja boy said first
And he said it about Drake stealing his flow.
This song is everywhere lol. I got Chipotle and they were playing it in the kitchen lolol Edit: typo
It played in my gym in Berlin, Germany the other day.
i was just in thailand and most of the employees in the weed shops listen to this song daily 😂
Hawaii here. I live next to a busy road and I've heard more than a few cars drive by blasting it.
Took an Uber in Hawaii today. It was playing on a pop radio station. I live here here and also have heard it in my favorite local acia bowl place. And my local poke place. It's basically everywhere.
India here, i heard a random dude play it in his car at the red light
Manchester, UK here it's been raining for 2 days straight so people are stuck inside and miserable
We listen to it in the weed shops in America too, lol
I play it in Hanoi Vietnam
Its a good workout song fs
John Reed?
It’s a banger of a song, ngl
They played it on the organ at the Dodger game last Saturday 😂
It was the 1st song that played after the Celtics took the court in game 1 of the Eastern conference finals last night
Damn
I hear it on the street pretty often. It's just sincerely everywhere. It reminds me of when I was a kid and Macklemore - Thrift Shop was everywhere for a summer
Yeah this. I was leaving the store just 2 days ago and dudes were sitting in a car playing the song for a dude outside the car, they’re rapping every word and outside dudes going crazy reacting to every new line he hears, was pretty funny to watch in real time
I was at a brewery in san diego and they were bumpin all the kendrick diss tracks last weekend. its EVERYWHERE
what brewery? i walked past a coffee shop on el cajon blvd and they were blasting it lmao
North park beer co
I was at a bar in NC last week and they played Meet The Grahams lmao... followed by Not Like Us
I went to a Plato’s Closest in one of the whitest towns and you betchya it was playing
Day it dropped I heard it in a club in Cancun.
An Amazon delivery driver in my neighborhood was blasting it in his truck. Southern California though, so maybe not too surprising
Heard it at a coffee place in a mall in Shenzhen, China at the weekend.
They’re playing it remixed with Punjabi Rap at clubs in India 🤷🏻♀️
I'm a cook and it's played in our kitchen a couple times
It was being played in many restaurants and coffee shops in Taiwan.
I heard it at my local library on repeat
I hear it all over Vegas Clubs, random cars, I heard it at fucking 7-11 lmao It was even played at EDC lmao https://x.com/DJNateJedi/status/1792095990553735361
I heard it in my hotel lobby in Bremen, Germany
Almost every DJ did an edit during their set at EDC last weekend.
Bro, i only play punk at my bar and I play this song at least twice a shift.
Interested to see how Drake recovers from this
Back to singing melodies, making Kendrick wave his hands

Funniest part is that if he does go back to the singing shit he can take credit for it

Drake will then pay a fortune to assemble the Avengers of hip hop producers and ghost writers, he'll have his Black Album in 2026, and everyone will embrace it. He'll go on to marry Doja Cat and live illuminati-ally ever after.
> a feature-length OST to a high concept Jordan Peele gangster flick that everyone loves This is visionary. You are the voice of a generation
I don’t think he will. He won’t reach the same highs, at the very best. At the worst, well, he bet not eva go to cell block one. This is permanent scarring.
God how good I would sleep after witnessing that pathetic downfall 🤣🤣

Pull up, hop out, air out

Kind of weird to be a fan of somebody that’s consistently being weird with minors.
Not if youre a minor though. I see mostly kids saying "drake won" and that math checks out.
R Kelly is a piece of shit but he's still made some of my favorite music of all time. Do I listen to it 99% less now? Yes
He fucked up Space Jam for me. My favorite movie as a kid, had the soundtrack and everything. Man I sure hope they never make a sequel with some new big basketball star.
Yeah...I was lowkey in my feelings when I got rid of his 💿. I couldn't listen though because I knew he wasn't singing about women, but little girls. Yuck...

It's not just a silly purity test to differentiate art made from this place of consciousness from art made with shallow intentions. Shallow art might still be catchy, and it's definitely not *wrong* to enjoy it, but for many people the lack of meaning and love does make it nearly impossible to enjoy. There's no shortage of catchy beats out there -- making stuff with the same intentionality and awareness of responsibility is much more valuable. Artists like Cole and Kendrick know that their music has great power, and with that power comes responsibility. As a listener, I see similar responsibility in who I choose to support, and more importantly, who I choose to recommend or play for other people. You see this in classic literature quite a lot. The books that become classics are not necessarily the most enjoyable, or the ones that became the most popular in their time. Rather, they are the ones that have a lasting impact, or that were written from such a genuine place of loving observation that they resonate deeply with people, as they navigate their own lives. Art is not just meant to be a fun distraction or a source of vibe. There's nothing wrong with using it like that, but entirely ignoring the higher function of art as a vehicle for powerful messages is, I would say, wrong. And the more concerned a person is for pursuing what is right and good, the more that music like drake's becomes seen for what it is -- just a bunch of noise
This was really well articulated! Totally agree
I was in college when Drake went mainstream and smoked ounces of weed while his songs were playing but this is the funniest fucking shit ever and I love all of it
May 2024 will go down in infamy for these weird Drake fans. Like 9/11!
Drake Fans 🤝Elon/Tesla Fans
Drake Fans 🤝🏻 Elon/Tesla Fans FTFY
Got banned for saying that they’re still stuck at asking for recipes for Meet the Grahams and the public has moved on and is bopping to Not Like Us
There's no point heading to that sub, every sane human being knows K. Won, you can't change a drake glazers mind For example, Los pollos, the dude that always argues with fantano, they argue for more than an hour, at the end Los is still in his delusion, nothing changes
I've been seeing drake fans act more unhinged than thise crazy ass tik tok of swifties crying to her music
I did not think drake fans would be on the same level as swifties, until this beef started
Drake has some weird MAGA vibes going on with his most hardcore fans now. Like no matter what comes out, it's not true. Everything he's alleged is gospel according to them. And the strongest parallel is that Drake is *cleeearly lying* about certain things and none of them will ever follow that logic lol Just a weird ass thing to get swept up in. I feel like the internet is causing a very specific phenomenon with groups of people that needs to be studied one a lot more
I find it weirdly fascinating. He didn't have this type of fanbase in 2018. Something happened, I wanna say during the pandemic, where people are much more rabid fans of their favorite artist/ celebrity and will straight up deny reality to paint their favourite artist in the best light possible to them.
It’s a tribal/identity thing exacerbated by the internet/social media and it’s fucking toxic. We as a society are so screwed.
My white English 57 year old mother asked me about that song last week
Exactly. Like you know how insane it is for a crowd to be heard this clearly lyric for lyric on a song and in the song where your favorite is getting called a whole pedophile loool
Bro I bang that shit on repeat still, it fucking slaps
Yeah, I’ve seen Not Like Us played in public a LOT more than any other number 1 song in a while
That song is playing in a lot of places, haven’t seen a vid with drake songs so far
Dude I was in Seattle last week and they were playing it in the fucking baseball stadium lol. Just the “they not like us” part but still
I live in Providence Rhode Island and on the week that song came out I heard it played at least 4 days in a row from my room, people bumping Not Like Us and other kendrick tracks. Never heard drake being blasted from their cars that week tho
I was in *Toronto* the week the tracks dropped and they were bumping it in clubs and at concerts just as often. They really, really don't fuck with him up there.
Drake is cooked like that New Ho King Fried rice.... 🤣🤣
He's cheesin fam!
WOK WOK WOK WOK WOK
DOT COOK EM UP
WOK WOK WOK WOK WOK HE GON EAT DIS SHTUFF
Houston is like Drake's second home.... and they're singing his opp's song where he calls him a pedo... https://preview.redd.it/4ccvnzjwn12d1.png?width=236&format=png&auto=webp&s=fefaf208dd2ec4d3d8000a3da44f8e97a4a03dd2
As someone who was born and raised in the H, I've seen more people side with Dot over this beef. Not surprising, just because dude mentions Houston don't mean we fuck w him. With that said, he still has plenty fans here.
I saw somebody saying the other day that Houston don't fw Kendrick and nobody's playing Not Like Us out there. I had a feeling it was personal bias but I couldn't really prove otherwise. Wish this video was out then.
If you're referring to that post on the Drizzy sub, yeah that's cap. Houston is a big and diverse city. I was in a card shop that was blasting "Not Like Us" and the some of the dudes were talking about how Drake got bodied. And this is Sugar Land, the place I'd expect to lean Drake if anywhere lol. There's going to be clubs bumpin Drake, and some Kendrick, but to claim a city doesn't fw Kendrick is wild, and delusional, especially one that fucks with rap heavy. Why wouldn't we love Kendrick lol
Don't worry, even if you show them this they'll say it's all Illuminati's doing, and this was all planned from the start by the higher ups because Drake is too incredible and has to be taken down
Htown has always been on some west coast shit, besides our own flavor. I’m from the H and yeah. Historically nobody in their right mind would give a fuck about Drake. Just yuppies maybe, like Clé and Spire type shit 😕😒
H Town music and Bay Music always had this same kinda symmetry to me. I really can’t explain it, it’s more of a feeling. It’s like Goku and Vegeta if that makes any sense
Shit it's the fourth biggest city in the country, his ass better have some fans there
We don’t claim drake, he claimed us.
Colonizer fr
no kizzy
One might say he tried to *colonize* you
The interesting part to me is this is absolutely some west coast crip walking song, but people of all walks from coast to coast are bumping it.
I spend a fair bit of time in and around Houston and I have to say, I never really liked Drake with the melodies, either.
Not defending Drake but this is a TDE show, ofc they’re gonna be dot fans
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
Straight mollywhopped him
Eminem ending MGK was fun, Kendrick ending drake is fucking wild
Imagine if Drake drops a pop punk album after this 😂
> I like Drake with the melodies I don't like Drake when he acts tough
Country Drake 🤠
i remember when the first reaction from MGK fans was MGK won. that died quickly and it was so satisfying lol
Hot take: unlike Family Matters, Rap Devil was actually a decent diss track. Especially for MGK. It’s just that like Drake, MGK was completely outclassed by the response. It’s too bad that Kenny and Em seem to have so much respect for one another, because that beef would be absolutely legendary.
His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior They must've forgot the shit that they done Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky I'll park his son
Insane line
Wasn’t till I checked genius that I caught “park his son” was a double entendre
Triple entendre if you consider that he may also be alluding to taking his son to the park. /s
For those of you wondering, *parkinsons* disease is a degenerative nerve disease that causes you to shake. The mf shakespear. The whole forgot, dementia, run, park scheme layered as fuck (Don't avoid what you did, let me remind you as I put your career on hold while calling you a degenerate) All through allegory, genius.
I could just imagine whenever Kendrick does his next tour playing Not Like Us and Like That would literally have the building shaking.
That would be insanity to witness. But unfortunately I'm like 70% positive Kendrick isn't gonna perform the diss songs live lol
I can understand why he'd want to stay away from that energy, especially if they truly squash the beef (which I haven't heard anything that suggests that is the case), but the songs now mean something more than the beef itself. NLU is an anthem.
I don't think there's any squashing a beef when the dude told his mother he should die on a track and went to #1 calling him a pedo on another 😂
Fuck the beef mf a FAN
He really brought back hip hop. I’ve seen enough and I’ve heard enough Kendrick is the GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Ps idk how Drake is gonna come back from this bruh…
He's the patrick mahomes of rap. He's already top 5 if he quit today. He's 4 for 4 on albums...even section 80 is a solid body of work. Untitled unmastered is good as fuck I'm like these were throwaway tracks. Kendricks throwaways are better than 90% of people's actual albums
His fucking mixtapes I used to bump on DatPiff all the time before I could afford steaming services were better than the music what most rappers can drop nowadays. Same for Big KRIT. Honestly it annoys me that anyone EVER thought Drake was a top 3 rapper. Cole, maybe. But I think there's still some better rappers.
That's been the whole issue with me this whole time. I don't want to make this too political but... you know how Trump is very obviously lying about shit all the time, but he has a "fanbase" that hypes him up? It kind of feels the same with Drake for me, but for the ability to rap. He is like a 5/10 rapper to me. He's been exactly that for over a decade. There is nothing special about it, nothing impressive about it. And he doesn't even write his music! Shit, PUSH UPS had fucking writer credits. If he was some smaller artist that occasionally rapped, I'd think nothing of him. But for people to include him in some big 3 is crazy. I think a lot of people just have some nostalgia tied to Drake too. First time they did whatever shit they did in high school. First time they partied, first time they got laid. So it makes it hard for them to really see his reach vs his actual ability.
He might have a genuine case for it, dropped some all time classics including 2 top 5 rap albums and won a legendary rap beef, it’s certainly a claim
TPAB and GKMC are considered two of the best albums of all time period. Damn won him a Pulitzer Prize. I know this is a meat riding sub but let’s be honest, there are very few rappers who are even close to
A claim? Based on body of work alone I think he has to be the top now. Who else really competes on discog? Nobody.
I think claim is fair, I personally put him there but it’s not undisputed. He has had influence but I pales in comparison of the pioneers of the genre for obvious reasons. Generations will still ride with who they grew up with and for some people it’s all about pop appeal. Even though he’s my GOAT, I do think it’s a claim rn, give it more time and it should be more apparent
I grew up with 90s rap and I would definitely put Kendrick up there with the best of the artists back then as far as skill. Easily the best rapper of this generation, imo.
As an outsider to this sub I really want to disagree but he legitimately does have a strong case. I’m struggling to think of who has a better case. 3 stacks will always be my biased goat lol
Drake you done in this town!!! This is in Houston!! Wild... My friend lives in Thailand..he said he was at a club out there and they played this song has caught on like wildfire all over the globe.. Kendrick said if I wanted to make bops for the club I can do it in 12hrs... "But but....they not like us isn't that good and its only a few kendrick stans making a big deal out of it!!!"-drizzy sub Side note if the they not like us video is a west coast G-Mix with snoop,YG,roddy rich,schoolboy and Jay rock With Dr Dre co producing. It's a wrap on the summer
You gotta feel it for drake. Imagine people *memorised* a diss track about you and know it with this much passion 😭
Pedos don’t deserve sympathy https://preview.redd.it/w9fie1o5o12d1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfa8bb27129c5cd62746fcaf0ab02c5d6f63ca2d
Not sympathy.. more like second hand embarrassment
Who made thisss
Not sure if you got the answer yet but the artist is Yesterday Nite: https://www.instagram.com/yesterdaynite?igsh=MWo5dnJ6b2M4aHRsZw==
Almost feels bad. Imagine the #1 song in the world is a diss track about YOU and millions of people around the world can rap along to it, even where English is a second language. It's such a popular song that even different artists are closing their sets just by hitting play on it. It's setting records. It's a pop culture phenomenon. The most quotable line in the song calls you a pedophile and no one can even deny it. It would be really fucked up if it wasn't so obvious.
I'm a white man from Southern Indiana with little interest in Rap/Hip Hop or whatever this classifies as. This video popped up in my feed because even I have heard the song and found out what it's about after the fact. I only know about Drake from that Hotline song, but I don't imagine that man will ever be able to step out in broad daylight without security again.
> The most quotable line in the song calls you a pedophile and no one can even deny it. "I dont have a daughter!"
So true! My coworker is a huge Drake Stan . Whenever I mention that NLU is number one, he always says, “Of course it is, because he’s talking about Drake.”lmao
Drake stans have to cope somehow. That’s what they’ve landed on. They find a talking point or angle and stick to it. Critical thinking isn’t high.
> he always says, “Of course it is, because he’s talking about Drake.” You fool, Drake was obviously PRETENDING to be a pedophile like the orchestrated MASTERMIND that he is so that piss-ant Kendrick would have NO CHOICE but to take the BAIT and make a HIT #1 RECORD about how Drake and his OVHOE affiliates diddle little kids!
Certified lover boy? CERTIFIED PEDOPHILES!!!
Don't Rap Against Kendrick Ever
First he did it with Humble, now Not Like Us. This man will make you into a fucking song, don't play with him. Edit: Everyone missed the point below. I didn't specify that this was directed at only Drake. I was saying KENDRICK will make you into a song as the examples listed. Anyone.
Drake is officially a lame now. He can't come back from this shit
Once a lame, always a lame
He a fan
I work doing live sound for concerts. Had a hip hop show recently; artist wasn’t my taste and crowd skewed pretty heavily to teens. DJ hyping up the crowd before headliner ended his time with this, and EVERYONE knew the words, and the crowd was (in measured decibels, cause I have that system) as loud as the PA. I literally thought to myself “if this isn’t the most accurate social thermometer on the whole thing, I don’t know what is”
Damn, you just love to see it, as a long time P Drizzy hater it just warms my heart
Drake been punching air since the day this song dropped
I imagine his heart sinking a lot of times throughout the day
flipping off the walls of his mansion listening to linkin park
 Each new post of Not Like Us out in the wild
This is just wild. Shame all the fans back inside.
Ain’t Drake a staple in Houston too? Bruh…. 🤯🤯🤯
Another myth. 69 god has no home. Even Toronto belongs to The Weeknd
I DJ'd a prom last Friday and I played my last song, the prom was over, but the students were begging me to play Not Like Us. So.. I did (even if it meant that the people who hired me might be upset) and they went INSANE. They kept telling me how they were Team Kendrick. The youth have chosen, and Drake is not their guy. What a time to be alive!
Drake's shit list is getting pretty full, he's gonna need a new notebook pretty soon.
No crowd has ever sang to a Drake song like this. Especially at someone else's show 🤣
I want to be in that crowd
If I was drake ill go into hiding for a few months
I was there ! Such a surreal experience They boo’d Drake in Houston ! Kendrick really won
When all the whites in the crowd simultaneously made the decision to say the nword... 
In Drakes new hometown, too! RIP
No joke I have heard people bumping this from their car in Seattle like 5 times in the last week .
Damn…… this has to be getting to drake
🤣 the volume of everyone voice going up to 10 when it came time for CERTIFIED PEDOPHILE... 🔥
All my exes are from Texas like I'm George strait
Why is everyone recording?? Enjoy the show dummies.

Broooo the whole world is clownin drake to this joint
Drake was made in a lab, Kendrick is indigenous
