"I don't believe I'm an angry person": Kendrick Lamar tells SZA in an interview

Kendrick Lamar was on the cover of Harper's Bazaar 2024 November Voices Issue, wherein he was interviewed by SZA. In excerpts from the interview published by Billboard on October 21, 2024, the wacced out murals rapper talked about the kind of person he is and the true meaning of the phrase Not Like Us, his famous diss track about Drake.

Commenting on his personality and beliefs, Kendrick Lamar told SZA:

“I don't believe I'm an angry person. But I do believe in love and war, and I believe they both need to exist. And my awareness of that allows me to react to things but not identify with them as who I am. Just allowing them to exist and allowing them to flow through me. That's what I believe.”

Additionally, Lamar commented on Not Like Us and how the track is much bigger than being solely about Drake. He said that it is the energy of who he is and the type of man he represents. The Money Trees rapper further added that the man he represents has morals and values, believes in sometimes, stands on something, and isn't pandering.
