GNX also follows an unbelievable summer for Lamar amid his feud with Drake. His chart-topper “Not Like Us” earned him a whopping five Grammy nominations, including Song Of The Year and Best Rap Performance.

“Not like us? Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent,” Lamar said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in October. “This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands on something. He’s not pandering. He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man. If I’m thinking of ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.”
