Kendrick Lamar's latest song, "Not Like Us," has been making waves on the internet and recently made an unexpected appearance at Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott's victory speech. As reported by Complex, the song serves as Lamar's response to Drake's diss track, "Family Matters," and was used to introduce Scott as the projected winner of the Democratic primary.
With the energetic crowd at the Rye Street Market Building already hyped up, Scott made his way to the podium to the sound of "Not Like Us," adding to the excitement in the room. He then addressed the crowd, expressing his gratitude for the potential second term in office and thanking them for choosing him over former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon.
Scott also touched on the challenges faced during his campaign, including a Republican super PAC's attempts to undermine his progress and spread false information about the city. However, the people of Baltimore proved that they will not be swayed by lies and reaffirmed the greatness of their city.
Interestingly, Lamar's music has also made an appearance in the political realm, as seen in the Biden/Harris campaign's video featuring the artist's song "Euphoria." The song's lyrics were cleverly altered to call out the current president, Donald J. Trump, for his actions and policies that go against love, equality, and basic human rights.
It's clear that Kendrick Lamar's music has transcended the realm of entertainment and has become a powerful tool for self-expression and social commentary. Whether it's through diss tracks or political campaigns, his music continues to impact and inspire people from all walks of life.
