Kendrick's "Not Like Us" Gets Fan-Made Video Game That Lets You Wop-Wop-Wop-Wop-Wop Owls All Day

Designer Richie Branson calls it "a free love letter to video games and hip-hop."

"Let's stop playing around and take this shit serious."
-Aubrey Drake Graham, "Family Matters"

If Kendrick Lamar bashing an owl piñata in his "Not Like Us" video wasn't enough for you, it's time to get interactive.

Game designer Richie Branson debuted Not Like Us: The Game on Monday, complete with his own chiptune version of Lamar's summer-dominating Drake diss. The rules of the browser-based experience are simple: swing a bat and wop as many owls as you can.

"Let's see how many you can hit in a row without missing," the game invites. "The record is 69. Can you beat it?"

Branson—who calls the project "a free love letter to video games and hip-hop"—had more numerical humor ready on Twitter, writing, "I intentionally made the game spike in difficulty above 17, so any score 18 and above should be celebrated. 💀🥳."

Branson describes himself in the credits as "just a random brotha who designed games for Bleacher Report and worked for Epic Games as a game designer on a little game called Fortnite."

Kendrick's "Not Like Us" climbed back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week. The loudest of his Drake disses has ridden high for 10 weeks since debuting at No. 1 in May. Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That," infamously featuring Kendrick's rap war-inciting verse, has been on the chart for a full four months, holding strong at No. 14 last week.
