LL Cool J Shares His Thoughts On ‘Not Like Us’

Recently, LL Cool J spoke with ‘Ray Daniels Media’ and praised the new generation of artists, specifically Kendrick Lamar.

In the interview, the ‘Headsprung’ rapper also revealed that he found K.Dot’s cover for ‘Not Like Us’ hilarious.

“It just cracks me up that he put all those signs on homie’s house,” LL said of the red dots placed on the Drake’s home, meant to indicate the locations of alleged sex offenders. “This s**t is crazy. This ain’t got nothing to do with nothing but its the funniest s**t in the world. It’s bananas. That kinda thinking, you have to respect that.”

LL continued to credit today’s generation of artists for their strategic and creative thinking.

“This generation, they think much more multilayered. The thinking is far more layered. The thinking used to be kinda like– back in the days it was like, Okay, you do the song. That was it. Then it transitioned to, you do the song and you do the video. Now, it has transitioned to, you do the song, you do the video, you have a brand, you do a book, you have the movie, you have the music. You monetize it. You have a platform. The layering of the thought process is completely different,” LL explained.

This isn’t the first time that LL has discussed Drake and Kendrick’s rap beef.

VIBE reports that in July, LL criticized Drizzy for making a “bad choice” in feuding with K.Dot. His comments took place during his interview with HOT 97’s TT Torrez. The ‘NCIS’ actor also explained that he believed Kendrick won the battle.

“Kendrick won the battle. I mean, come on. That’s obvious. That’s a no-brainer. And listen, I like Drake. I love his music, he’s a cool dude. We don’t know each other but I like his music. I’m happy for him and everything. But, you know, Kendrick… that might have been a bad choice.”

Michael Rubin Discusses Decision To Avoid Playing ‘Not Like Us’

LL Cool J wasn’t the only one to recently share his thoughts on Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us.’ Michael Rubin also revealed why he prevented the record and all Lamar songs from playing at his All-White party in July.

As The Shade Room previously reported, Michael Rubin held his annual All-White party on the 4th of July, the same day Kendrick released the visuals for his diss track to Drake, ‘Not Like Us.’

Several stars popped out for Rubin’s event, including Drizzy. While on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Michael Rubin addressed rumors about stopping ‘Not Like Us’ from being played at his party. The Fanatics CEO admitted he skipped the track out of respect for his friend Drake.

“Drake’s my friend for a long time. I’m not gonna invite him…have him come there…I just didn’t think it was appropriate. So I just said hey, let’s not play anyone’s music that’s feuding with anyone that’s there.”

Additionally, Rubin mentioned a slip-up at a BBQ he hosted the night before the All-White party. The businessman stated that when the music was turned on in his house, ‘Not Like Us’ blasted through the speakers just as Drake was pulling up.

Michael held his friend down and made sure the song was turned off before he made his way to the party.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Takeover

Kendrick Lamar took over the innanet when he dropped his fourth diss track aimed at Drake, ‘Not Like Us’ in May.

Since then, the record has remained the unofficial summer 2024 anthem and the soundtrack to several social media videos.

K. Dot really took things up a notch after he dropped the visuals for the chart-topping track on July 4.

Per TSR, ‘Not Like Us’ includes several standout moments and appearances from famous faces like DJ Mustard and Tommy the Clown . The nearly 6-minute video shows Kendrick’s longtime partner, Whitney Alford , and their two children playing in a living room.
