The internet is buzzing with the latest development in the ongoing hip-hop feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. It all started when a Kendrick Lamar fan created a video game called "Not Like Us" as a response to Drake's diss track, "Family Matters". But now, the tables have turned as a video game inspired by the same song has been released, aptly titled "Family Matters: The Game".
Featuring an owl insignia, the game was launched on the X platform on July 22 to much excitement and anticipation. Upon clicking the link, players are greeted with a close-up of Kendrick Lamar's face, his mouth open in a wide scream. The aim of the game is to feed Kendrick a Grammy by clicking on the award as it moves in a half-circular motion under his head. The catch? You only get three chances, and if you miss, Kendrick's mouth closes and a tear rolls down his face as he sadly closes his eyes.
For those who may not be familiar with the song, the game's instructions make a reference to Drake's lyrics, "Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go feed him a Grammy right now." It's a clever nod to the ongoing rivalry between the two artists.
"Family Matters" made a huge splash upon its release, debuting at number one on the Billboard 100 chart. It garnered over 70 million streams, 5 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 15,000 sales in just five days. And now, with the release of "Family Matters: The Game", the song has broken records once again, becoming the most-streamed song in a seven-day period with over 96 million streams. It has even surpassed "Fortnite" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone, which was released earlier this year.
The creator of the game, who goes by the Twitter handle @familymattersgame, wasted no time in letting Drake and his team know about their latest project. In a tweet, they tagged Drake's attorney and manager, saying "Someone tell @aubreysattorney and @certifiedjared we're live with a 'Family Matters' game!" It's safe to say that this game has taken the hip-hop world by storm and added a new twist to the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
It's incredible to see the impact that music can have on other forms of art and entertainment. This game is a testament to the creativity and talent of black game developers, and how they can draw inspiration from their favorite artists to create something truly unique and captivating. Who knows what other amazing creations will come out of this hip-hop battle? Only time will tell.
