Another win for Kendrick Lamar!
His hit diss record ‘Not Like Us’ could reportedly be eligible for a Grammy. During a recent interview with TMZ, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. discussed the record’s potential for a Grammy.
“Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” Mason Jr. expressed. “Great writing… Incredible.” He goes on to mention Lamar’s previous Grammy’s success. “You got an artist that’s been nominated before,” Mason Jr. noted. “He’s been successful with the organization… I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be.”
He continued: “It’s impactful on so many levels,” he explained. “I like to believe the Academy members recognize that.”
What started off as a diss record towards Drake– ultimately turned into a united force for all of California. We previously reported that Lamar’s “Pop Out” concert was a culture shift for L.A. artists.
The Ken & Friends: The Pop Out concert went down on Wednesday (June 19) at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The sold-out show took over social media as it trended at number one on X throughout the evening.
K. Dot opened his set with his diss track towards Drake, “Euphoria,” and was joined on stage by other L.A. artists includingJay Rock, Schoolboy Q, and Ab-Soul, and Dr. Dre. “You have to live here in LA to understand how HUGE this song is right now!” commented one fan following the event.
As the show wrapped up, Kendrick wow’d the crowd and performed “Not Like Us”… 6 times..yup.
If the hit song is nominated for a Grammy, this wouldn’t come as a surprise for Lamar’s fans. The Compton artist already has 50 Grammy nominations and 17 wins, including Best Rap Album, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance. His latest album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, won Best Rap Album.
