“Wop” Some Owls in This Kendrick Lamar-Inspired “Not Like Us” Video Game

At this point, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is pretty much unmissable; a precise jab at the supposed infallibility of pop rap that’s slowly being adopted as an anti-Canada anthem. Now, if you’ve worn it out on streaming platforms or watched its music video a few too many times, you can turn your attention to a video game inspired by Lamar’s track against Drake.

Not Like Us: The Game The game is online and was designed by game designer Richie Branson. Its gameplay was inspired by the moment in Lamar’s “Not Like Us” visual in which he smashes an owl-shaped piñata.

In the game, users recreate the moment as a Lamar-style sprite wielding a baseball bat, swinging at owls (with a “wop” sound appearing with each successful hit) while a chiptune version of Mustard’s instrumental plays.

The higher the user’s score, the less time they have to locate the bird. “I intentionally raised the difficulty of the game above 17, so any score of 18 and above should be celebrated,” Branson explained on X.

Branson describes himself in the game’s credits as “just a random bro who made games for Launderer’s Report and I worked for Epic Games as a game designer on a little game called FortniteThis game is a free love letter to video games and hip-hop.
