Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Game Is a Hit on the Internet

Written by on July 16, 2024

“Not Like Us” is gaining traction. Online discussions have been debating whether the song is overplayed, but the results indicate otherwise.

Kendrick Lamar’s diss has risen to the top of the Billboard charts again following the release of its iconic music video.

Even better, the video inspired graphic designer Richard Branson to create a video game based on its most viral moments. Now, you can smash Drake’s OVO owls with a stick.

Branson shared a link to the “Not Like Us” video game on July 15, and it’s free to play. He made it clear he wasn’t aiming to profit from the song.

“This game is a free tribute to video games and hip-hop,” Branson wrote in the game’s credits. The goal is to hit as many owls as possible with a piñata stick, inspired by a scene in the “Not Like Us” video where Kendrick Lamar takes down an owl parodying Drake’s logo.

While the game does not include the text “No OVHoes were harmed in the making of this video,” it maintains the same sense of fun.

The “Not Like Us” game quickly gained popularity online. Fans shared their scores on social media, some even discussing which levels were the toughest.

The release timing was perfect— “Not Like Us” topped the Billboard Hot 100 upon its May release. It fluctuated between spots 2 and 6 over the next eight weeks before settling at number 3.

Impressively, the song shot back up to number one over the Fourth of July. This marks Kendrick Lamar’s first time securing a multi-week number one as a solo artist.

The song is so connected to its target that attempts to reinterpret it have failed. Recently, Lil Wayne tried to change the song’s meaning during a Las Vegas performance.

It didn’t go well. Fans were puzzled by Weezy F. Baby playing a Kendrick Lamar song. Many criticized the rapper for siding with Lamar over Drake, which was contrary to his intention. Lamar continues to win, while Drake, well, isn’t.
