Is Not Like Us better than Euphoria? I'm not here to slander Not Like Us. I don't appreciate some of the slander I see about Not Like Us. As of recently Kanye said, he hated the song, which lends to the idea that we don't embrace West Coast-sounding music, which isn't true.
I'm not saying that. Not Like Us's biggest record of 2024. Probably one of the biggest records of 2025, right? Grammy’s, Super Bowl. People think it's the best hip-hop, this track of all time, but I'm here to say that maybe it's the second best, this track of all time.
Euphoria is incredible. When Euphoria dropped, it was nothing but six minutes of straight bars that you just had to run back and re-listen to. I still re-listen to it. On the contrary, Not Like Us is a great record, too.
Can't take away from it. Has an amazing hook. Has great, memorable lines, but doesn't have more memorable lines than Euphoria. Must think about it. Euphoria has two B-switches, maybe three B-switches on it.
Still playing it, does not have a hook. I think it should have gotten a little bit more credit for what it did to the culture. It was the first diss track that we heard from Kendrick out of a period. Nobody knew what was going to happen.
And I think he met all expectations. When we look back at some of the quotables, the two girls kissing on stage, the sexy red line, I think there were a lot of them. impactful. I think it's a better display of lyricism than not like us.
Not by a lot, though. Just a little bit better. And I think that it should have been Grammy-nominated and I think it should have gotten more perfect. But you guys tell me if I'm wrong.
