Guest Blogs
Guest Blogs are written by non-Mu members, and might include critical or controversial perspectives we have deemed to be worth discussing on our forum.

The following is a guest article from a member of the PCMA community. While one Mu committee member previously had an official role within PCMA, there are currently no formal ties between the two groups. Mu is always looking for content from MAPs with a wide range of views to host as guest blogs. Hosting does not imply endorsement, and the opinions expressed here are not necessarily agreed upon by all members of Mu.
Ordinarily, a rap beef would hardly merit comment in terms of its relevance to us, regardless of how high-profile it is, but given the nature and popularity of the Kendrick Lamar's anti-Drake diss-track Not Like Us, it is more than justified. On Not Like Us, K...
