Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Into “Not Like Us: The Game”

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" Becomes Summer Anthem, Spawns Hit Video Game "Not Like Us: The Game"
Words by Javier Santiago

The summer of 2024 has undoubtedly been dominated by Kendrick Lamar’s fiery diss track “Not Like Us,” a scathing musical salvo aimed directly at his longtime rival, Drake. But the song’s cultural impact has extended far beyond the charts, as the music video’s most iconic moment has now been transformed into a wildly entertaining video game.

“Not Like Us: The Game,” developed by renowned gaming creator Richie Branson, has taken the internet by storm, inviting fans to step into Kendrick’s shoes and unleash their own brand of retribution against the symbolic “owls” representing Drake’s OVO label.

The browser-based game’s simple yet addictive premise – tapping away at owl piñatas as Kendrick’s lyrics about “certified pedophiles” blare in the background – has struck a chord with listeners, who have flocked to the free-to-play experience in droves.


The game’s virality has only amplified the cultural conversation surrounding “Not Like Us,” with fans eagerly sharing their high scores and competitive strategies online. But beyond the leaderboards, the game has also served as a platform for Branson to solicit voluntary donations through his personal payment accounts, tapping into the fervent fanbase’s willingness to support the creative vision.

As the summer continues to sizzle, there’s no doubt that “Not Like Us” and its interactive counterpart will remain at the forefront of pop culture. Kendrick Lamar’s musical and artistic dominance shows no signs of slowing down – and with “Not Like Us: The Game,” fans have a new way to experience the fire.
