Singles Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us (Drake Diss)

[Not Crodie]

Elliott says NLU moved from #3 to #1 on his list of best diss songs ever

100% correct, objectively

Hit Em Up would be INSANE!!! It's most about the fact checking. Dudes would be doing full blogs on days matching up and the pic and interviews. Rappers would be talking like "ahhhh man you know I was there that day when faith came through." The memes and shyt would be endless


Ether actually wouldn't have hit the same TODAY cause they would do that same fact checking on Nas lines and see most of it ain't true

Ether had more truths in it than Takeover did(as far as what was aimed at NaS)

I mean one was a full diss song dedicated to the other while Takeover was just a verse. I'd say Ether had more truths and lies just based off volume.

Can’t really think of nothing that was inaccurate besides the “Rockefeller died of AIDS”

 

[DaSk8D00D]

I mean the elevator pitch for Not Like Us being the GOAT diss song is pretty strong

“Dude made an international club banger about his opp being a pedo who would later go on to sue their own label”

Can't find a source rn but Nas clarified at some point he was referencing a NYC hustler called Rockefeller who did actually die of AIDS.

Don't know if Jay has ever copped to him being the inspiration for the label name, but that's who Nas meant.

yeah gotta agree with Elliot, no other diss I think really had the kind of impact of NLU outside of maybe No Vaseline? and even then, NLU was a fukking napalm. Numbers, clutural relevance, memes, quotables, the damage to Drake rep...yeah NLU gotta be the GOAT

I’ve said this… what Elliot is saying. That third verse is everything. My wife and I die because dude just breaks out a black history lesson in song form. Brilliance

Jaz spat some rhymes about a hustla named Rocafella that had the crown when he was a kid



I think this is why cats speculate Jay was getting at Jaz in Blueprint 2, cuz he was feeding shyt to Nas.

In '88 you was getting chased through your building
Calling my crib and I ain't even give you my numbers


Wearing Jaz chains, no TECs, no cash, no cars
No jail bars Jigga, no pies, no case
Just Hawaiian shirts, hanging with little Chase


I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
You Tae-bo hoe, trying to work it out, you tryna' get brolic?


Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?


Foxy got you hot 'cause you kept your face in her puss

Compared to Beans you wack

And your man stabbed Un and made you take the blame

The name "Roc-A-Fella" was conceived by rapper Tone Hooker as a double entendre for Rockefeller and a rapper dominating his opponent (“rocking a fella”).


He meant the Rockerfeller family

All of those were true though

He was Jaz’s underling

I thought the Rockefeller one was off but people are saying that was based on a drug dealer

Foxy, something weird there

There was an old MTV interview that showed Jay in a boxing class in one of the clips, I remember seeing that

Beans was better at the time

I’ve heard conflicting reports about Tata or someone else really doing that to Un

"Quit playing before I turn you into a song"

The prophecy was fulfilled

What you're saying is not what Nas said

He was not calling and getting chased
He was in the streets heavy so he wasn't broke and dusty
Karate is not boxing... Who is looking down on being in a boxing class?
They didn't name the company after that guy
Foxy said they ain't never do shyt and still says it
Beans might have been better... You WACK compared to him? Nah
Nobody else stabbed Un




It was jokes and lies.. Great song. But like the certified pedo shyt, it was just jokes and lies

 

[ba'al]

I lean on you nikkas like another line of Wock'
Yeah, it's all eyes on me, and I'ma send it up to Pac, aye
Put the wrong label on me, I'ma get 'em dropped, aye
Sweet Chin Music and I won't pass the aux, aye

Freaky ass nikkas need to stay they ass inside.

Just heard the song again off youtube. LOL
