Kendrick Lamar’s hit single “Not Like Us” is a diss toward fellow rap star Drake and his inner circle. But one Illinois politician is taking the song to a whole new civic level — using the phrase to try to highlight the contrast between Democrats and Republicans.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul used Lamar’s song to churn out political metaphors during Wednesday’s Illinois breakfast delegation — and it’s not the first time he’s relied on the rap star’s lyrics to get a crowd going.
