Kendrick Lamar’s song Not Like Us, which gained prominence during the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, includes the repeated phrase: “they not like us”. As part of an 8th-grade English class, how could a teacher use this chorus line to address linguistic diversity while still engaging students with formal aspects of language, in line with the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) guidelines?

(a)

Using the chorus to illustrate features of Diaspora Englishes (DE), and explain that such forms are appropriate only in specific regional or informal settings.

(b)

Highlighting how the phrase presents traces of Received Pronunciation (RP) and how non-standard grammar can express cultural identity in music and popular discourse, even when presenting mistakes.

(c)

Exploring how non-standard structures appear in informal and culturally rooted English varieties, and contrasting them with standard forms, discussing context and meaning without labeling them as errors.

(d)

Avoiding analyzing lyrics with non-standard grammar to prevent confusion among beginners and to maintain precision aligned with textbook standards.
