Not only is the Grammys’ winner for song and record of the year a rap track — for just the second time ever — but it also happens to be one of the most brutal disses of all time.

“Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar took home the two major awards on Sunday, capping an unprecedented run for a one-off single that features lines like “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young” and calls one of the biggest artists of the 21st century a “pedophile,” among other things.

Lamar, who is scheduled to headline the Super Bowl halftime show next weekend, dedicated his record of the year win to his native Los Angeles, including fire-ravaged areas like the Palisades and Altadena. “We gonna dedicate this one to the city: Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Inglewood, Hollywood out to the valley,” Lamar said. “This is my neck of the woods that’s held me down since I was a young pup.”

“Not Like Us” was victorious in each of the five categories where it was nominated, also winning before the televised ceremony for best rap performance, best rap song and best music video.

Previously, the only rap song to win for best record or best song was Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” in 2019. Among those rap songs previously overlooked: “Lose Yourself” by Eminem and “Jesus Walks” by Kanye West.

For record of the year, “Not Like Us” beat out hits by Beyoncé (“Texas Hold ’Em”), Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone (“Fortnight”), Sabrina Carpenter (“Espresso”), Charli XCX (“360”), Chappell Roan (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Billie Eilish (“Birds of a Feather”) and the Beatles (“Now and Then,” billed as the group’s “last” song).
