I Don't Like (feat. Chief Keef, Big Sean, Pusha T & Jadakiss)

Kanye West's 'I Don't Like' is a collaborative track featuring artists Chief Keef, Big Sean, Pusha T, and Jadakiss. The song serves as a platform for these artists to express their disdain for various aspects of street culture, industry politics, and personal grievances. Each artist brings their own perspective to the table, but the overarching theme is a rejection of fakeness, disloyalty, and betrayal in their respective environments.

Pusha T opens with a verse that criticizes those who fabricate their lifestyles to gain credibility in the rap game. He contrasts this with his own authenticity and success. Kanye West's verse touches on the hypocrisy he faces in the media and the music industry, likening his treatment to that of historical figures who were persecuted. He also references Chicago culture, giving shoutouts to local figures and affirming his connection to the city. Chief Keef's chorus and verse emphasize a rejection of disingenuous people and behaviors, while Big Sean and Jadakiss discuss their own experiences with deceit and their rise above it.

The song's aggressive tone and repetitive chorus make it clear that these grievances are deeply felt and are a significant part of the artists' lives. The track is not just a list of dislikes; it's a declaration of standards and a call for respect and authenticity. The artists use their verses to assert their identities and to distance themselves from those who don't meet their criteria for realness.
