Kendrick Lamar has explained his notion of “not like us,” the dismissive chorus from his popular Drake diss track that has dominated much of 2024.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first interview since overcoming Drizzy in their long-running battle that exploded this summer, Kendrick chatted with buddy and former TDE labelmate SZA for Harper’s Bazaar magazine, whose November edition he covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the talk was more about spirituality and vulnerability than rap warfare, the SOS singer did ask the Compton native what “Not Like Us” meant to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[Laughs] Not like us? Not like us is the essence of who I am and the sort of guy I represent. Kendrick said, “Now, if you identify with the man I represent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This guy has morals and values, he believes in something, and he stands for something. He isn’t pandering. He’s a guy who can identify his faults and isn’t scared to discuss them, and he can go deep into fear-based philosophies or experiences to express them without feeling like a lesser man.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He went further: “If I’m thinking of ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SZA then questioned Kendrick how he creates such aggressive songs when he is not an angry guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t think I’m an angry person. But I believe in both love and war, and I think they must coexist,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And my knowledge of this enables me to respond to situations without identifying with them as who I am. Simply letting things to exist and flow through me. That is what I believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the conversation, Kendrick Lamar also discussed his connection with God and his love of jogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s no crap. This ain’t no clich\u00e9. “But I literally talk to God,” he said. “It’s reaching the point that I’ll start to worry I’m going insane. But He has to remind me, ‘No, this is actually me.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My morning routine includes running. When I started running, I began to comprehend. There was a pain barrier in spirituality for me. I recall my shins throbbing and thinking, “I’ve only got one mile to go.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Then I get whispers and downloads and start talking about something I want to know about. And the next thing I know, I’m three or four miles in. “I wake up every day and do that shit.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Pulitzer Prize winner, who is presently making his first feature alongside the co-creators of South Park, has also hinted at expanding into other creative industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I believe that my work in music is just the beginning. I don’t believe that is my ultimate objective. I realize it isn’t my ultimate objective. “Music is just a vessel to get me there,” he joked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He went on to say, “I’m not sure what that looks like.” My curiosity fuels my motivation. I’ll let God mold it. I like the mystery of it. I need to have that. I have to. “The chase of it all.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
