When Kendrick says “I am the one who upped the score on him” one might think he is talking about gang violence. Usually “upping the score” is a term used in urban environments where score being enemies killed. In this case, it is serious wordplay! Kendrick does the song “Meet the Grahams” in A minor, where “Not like Us” is in the key of B. Kendrick is controlling this rap beef like a music conductor. Bars on bars !!
