In a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, Polo G was asked about the highly publicized feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
This battle, which officially ended in May, continues to ignite passionate debates among fans of both artists.
The track “Not Like Us” emerged as a standout moment, cementing Kendrick Lamar’s dominance in the eyes of many.
When pressed to choose a side, Polo G opted to remain neutral, avoiding naming a clear winner between the two rap giants.
However, when Akademiks shifted the conversation to ask about his favorite track from the feud, Polo G didn’t hesitate to name “Not Like Us” as his top pick.
“I don’t wanna pick a side man… but Not Like Us is my favorite song”
Polo G Declares “Not Like Us” as the Best Song in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake Feud
This choice aligns him with a growing number of rappers who have praised the track for its impact.
Even Akademiks, known for his critical stance on Kendrick Lamar’s work, couldn’t help but acknowledge the track’s success, calling it a “bop”—a rare compliment from him.
“Not Like Us” has undeniably been a monumental success for Kendrick Lamar. The track, which marked his first number-one single since “HUMBLE.” in 2017, quickly became a cultural phenomenon.
With over 650 million streams on Spotify, it now holds the title of the most-streamed diss track on the platform.
The song’s popularity has not gone unnoticed in the industry, earning a nomination for Song of the Year at the upcoming VMAs, a sign of its widespread acclaim.
The influence of “Not Like Us” extends beyond the music charts. Its impact was so significant that it even caused a stir at Michael Rubin’s exclusive Fourth of July party, where the track was reportedly banned due to Drake’s presence.
This level of influence underscores how deeply the track has resonated with listeners and further solidifies Kendrick Lamar’s position as one of the most formidable forces in rap today.
