Kendrick Lamar Dominates Drake’s Backyard As Toronto Fans Chant For “Not Like Us” Encore
It’s been well over a year since hip-hop had a battle like the one it briefly sparkled from last year, Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, a lyrical slugfest that harked back to the classic Jay-Z and Nas dust-up. While the dust has largely cleared, Kendrick just reminded the world and Drake’s backyard, which stands tallest. Last night in his home city of Toronto, Kendrick Lamar and SZA made the first Canadian concert of their Grand National Tour with a stop in Toronto.
Ticket sales had been roaring for weeks, so this was one of the most lucrative dates on their tour. Then, showtime came, and Kendrick gave a performance that was more of a coronation than a concert. Sure, the underlying tension that’s still very much alive in the rap world couldn’t be ignored, of course. Kendrick’s Grammy-winning song “Not Like Us,” a caustic anthem that many have reckoned put the nail in the coffin of his Own The Night triumph against Drake, provided the evening’s climax. Fans were rapping along word for word, and voices were shouted back, resounding throughout the space.
For a moment, it seemed all of Toronto itself had turned its allegiance. When the last notes sounded, and vocals rose into the twilight air, the audience didn’t want to let go. Echoes of “Encore! Encore!” pervaded the air, with fans craving one last go-round of “Not Like Us.” Kendrick basked in the energy, a subordinate presence strong and unbothered, a deliberate announcement that his throne remains secure even here, in Drake’s house. And Drake continues to steer through rougher seas.
While his last project, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, spawned hits like “Nokia,” they haven’t come close to regaining the cultural stranglehold he enjoyed pre-beef. His lawsuit against UMG, still unresolved, looms as a large cloud over rap battles as we know it. But for now, Kendrick is content just to enjoy it all. Last night, it was not a concert but a statement. In the heart of Toronto, with the crowd hollering for an encore of a diss track to their home hero, Kendrick Lamar, once again showed he’s just different when it comes to the rap pole.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
