It's a rap tune putting down a pop star not a political/sociological/economic statement about the greater good relax. lol

Ehhhh his last verse is literally breaking down how Aubrey and those of his ilk pander to the black community through attaching themselves to authentic black artists for the purpose of exploiting the culture for their own benefit without giving anything back. The song DEFINITELY has a sociological slant to it as did Kendrick’s entire strategy throughout the battle. His main goal was systemically break down the character of Drake and expose the man behind him, Aubrey Graham, as a colonizing vulture who infiltrated American Black culture to make himself rich and famous without having to enrich the culture in any way. The exclamation point that is Not Like Us is that Aubrey is another white man in a long history of white men who have pimped the black community and gotten away with zero consequences.


It’d be interesting to see all of Asian/White/Indian fans who blast the song at their weddings/Bar Mitzvahs/cookouts if they know that third verse or even dare to recite it.

Why wouldn't they? It's fairly esoteric to them unless they to are trying to make it professionally in a Black art form.

in summary.

they can vulture, mimic, dance, whatever.

but at the end of the day......


...they not like us.

thats why that chorus hits hard. and we can say it loud and proud. kendrick has always done this tho. "we gon be alright' comes to mind. they can keep being racist, killing us, etc, but we are still here. we arent a weak people. we will continue to chip away. we gon be alright.

fresh air from the c00ns that do the opposite and keep going on and on about being doomed. when those with pride know better.
