Kendrick Lamar's ‘Not Like Us’ allegedly banned from select Houston establishments

In the city of Houston, Texas, some establishments have allegedly taken a stand against Kendrick Lamar’s music. The Compton-born rapper, known for his socially conscious lyrics and energetic live performances, has been embroiled in controversy after fans were reportedly banned from certain bars, clubs, and restaurants in Houston due to the playing of his songs.

The alleged ban stems from an incident where a group of patrons at a local bar claimed they were denied entry because the establishment was ‘not like us,’ referring to the predominantly black clientele that frequents the venue. The quote has since been attributed to Kendrick Lamar’s song ‘These Walls’ and fans have taken to social media to express their outrage.

Not everyone is convinced, however. A representative from one of the establishments claimed that they did not receive any complaints about Lamar’s music and that fans were simply looking for a way to create controversy. In the meantime, Houstonians continue to enjoy the rapper’s work in spite of the alleged ban.

Kendrick Lamar is known for his thought-provoking lyrics and critically-acclaimed albums such as ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D City’ and ‘To Pimp a Butterfly.’ His music often focuses on themes such as racism, police brutality, and black empowerment. Despite any controversy surrounding his music, Kendrick Lamar remains one of the most respected figures in hip-hop today.
