Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre discussed the impact of Kendrick Lamar’s viral diss track, “Not Like Us,” while taping a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon over the weekend. In doing so, they argued that the song unified the West Coast and it’s much more important to focus on that than the feud between Lamar and Drake.
“It unified the West,” Snoop began. “So, it may have been disrespectful, but it’s hip-hop, so it’s part of hip-hop. I chose no sides because I have no individual cause with that. That’s a grown man going against a grown man, but what it did do is unite the West and make everybody out here start looking at each other like how much love we got for each other. It was a Blood war where the Bloods had a peace treaty. You had certain Crip gangs that came together and became real friends as opposed to being enemies. So, that record did a lot for us on the West as far as unite so we should speak on that.”
