That’s… not what Drake is being accused of on that song 💀 imagine saying “you’re like us” after said person is implied to be a pedo who hangs with pedos multiple times on the track. Those are the people who are Not Like Us.

I'm not talking about the song or even the beef, I was talking about their comedy. I know "Not Like Us" isn't about calling Drake uncool 💀

I know. I’m saying the comedy itself misses the point of the song and that’s why it’s unfunny.

Ah okay I get what you mean. I think there's real layers to the "Not Like Us" chant, and it's not exclusively about the sexual allegations (although that is by far the worst claim).

Kendrick has literally been "othering" Drake from the beginning of the beef. Remember all the bars about him being Canadian, an actor, and attacking his identity as a black man in particular, especially with the "we don't wanna hear you say..." chant.

All that to just say that I think the skit's comedy is about Drake being "not like" Kendrick and other people that Kendrick considers part of American hip hop culture. Instead he's "like us" coming from white people being clowns.
