The phrase comes from “Not Like Us”, the popular song by rapper Kendrick Lamar, which has been getting massive attention over the past year due to his feud with Drake. The track became an anthem of beef, so it’s no surprise Cube decided to use it.
For the Dodgers, the championship marked a triumphant return to the top of MLB. After a dominant 93-win season and a tense seven-game series, the team reclaimed its place among baseball’s elite, giving LA another reason to celebrate, on and off the field.
