Not Like Us surged to legendary meme status following Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 diss track targeting Drake. The visual motifs—ranging from the owl logo under a map pinpoint to Kendrick's energetic dance moves—became instant symbols of authenticity versus performative culture. The phrase itself turned into a versatile anthem used to highlight cultural gatekeeping, personal superiority, or simply distinguishing one's group from 'the others.' Whether used in sports, gaming, or real-life beefs, the meme captures the spirit of collective identity and the ultimate lyrical checkmate in one of the biggest feuds in hip-hop history.
