Kendrick Lamar released 'Not Like Us' in May 2024 during his high-profile rap feud with Drake, and the song quickly became a cultural phenomenon, topping the Billboard Hot 100. Its chant-like hook, 'They not like us,' was clipped and shared across TikTok, Instagram and X, where it soundtracked sports celebrations, dance videos and rivalry memes. The track won multiple Grammy Awards in 2025 and was performed at the Super Bowl halftime show that year, keeping the chant in constant circulation as shorthand for calling out an opponent.
