After Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” continued with its world domination, in the form of a video game, a week later, Drake fans responded with a “Family Matters” themed game.

Let’s discuss.
Last week, Lamar’s Drizzy-dissing anthem received the video game treatment, for those looking to wop some owls. Unveiled by game designer Richie Branson, the game finds users playing as a wooden baseball bat wielding Kendrick Lamar, tasked with hitting owls in every directions, with the word “wop” appearing each time you do. All the while an 8-bit version of the smash-hit song plays in the background.
As the levels rise, so does the difficulty, as there’s less time to locate the owl. “I intentionally made the game spike in difficulty above 17, so any score 18 and above should be celebrated,” Branson wrote on X.
Describing himself as “just a random brotha who designed games for Bleacher Report and worked for Epic Games as a game designer on a little game called Fortnite,” in the game’s credits, Branson said “This game is a free love letter to video games and Hip-Hop.”
In response, some OVO “real ones” clapped back with a game of their own, Family Matters The Game. Inspired by Drake’s “Family Matters” bars calling out Kendrick for being self-important — “Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a GRAMMY right now.” The point of the game is to shoot as many GRAMMY Award trophies into Kendrick’s mouth as possible.

Each level gets progressively harder with Kendrick’s head moving from side-to-side, as a digitized version of the “Family Matters” instrumental plays in the background.
“Made by some real ones to prove a point. That Not Like Us game was trash. KBots backdooring the plays like Kendrick’s Spotify, haha,” the game’s credits state, insinuating that Lamar’s streams were artificially boosted in his war with Drake.
