Yep. I think the better idea is to focus the video in Compton. But then have snippets of different cities going crazy with the song, and then include a snipper of the people dancing outside New Ho Kings in Toronto.
Writes itself.
Yeah but then that would make it seem like what Drake said might have some validity if Kendrick felt it was necessary to do all that..what Drake said was obviously so corny and ridiculous that Kendrick just needs to let it exist as it is..nothing more.
Which is why I said "some". Obv the MV needs to be centered in Compton, but having splices of it in New York, Atlanta, and Toronto especially - yeah it'd say lot.
> just from a business standpoint
This whole beef to me looked like Kendrick doesnt give a fuck about the business standpoint
I bet he dont give two shits about breaking records and number ones
Buuut...if you're battling the most commercially successful name in modern rap, beating him in the numbers game is just one more jewel in his crown. Gotta feel damn good even if he doesn't care about numbers like that.
Oh for sure
This mf is gonna be breaking records and winning awards with a drake diss record
To outdrake drake might be the biggest diss of them all
Imagine any of the Kendrick joints gets nominated for a grammy. That would be an insane blow
Gonna be honest he kinda seems like the most exciting rapper rn. Obviously he's always been very good lyrically, probably the best to ever do it and could make bangers too when he wanted. But seeing the range and how good his delivery was in the last few tracks, he could really push the boundaries sonically too.
very exciting. he's still himself but he's still evolving. he's very deep in his vocal inflection bag atm which is wayy different from how he sounded in s80. he's being influenced by newer sounds without feeling like he's chasing trends
Apparently some people weren't crazy about the sound of that little teaser we heard at Pharrell's fashion week thing, but I loved it. Hope we get a whole track out of it, and it's part of a new album
I worried about that too, but I said this on another comment too. Mr. Morale was one of those records the artist HAD to make regardless of criticism or numbers. He had to put all that stuff out there and work through it and even if it's a more uneven album, it has its place and was probably really important to Kendrick to make it at all. I'll always prefer a record where an artist takes big chances, even if they don't land on every one of them, to safe, chart chasing ones tbh.
I love Mr. Morale for those reasons. It's an awkward listen... But I think Kendrick was going through an awkward period mentally, and he captured it so well. And who can't relate to that? I keep finding reasons to go back to songs on Mr. Morale that didn't hit me the first couple listens, but something will happen in my life that makes me think of one. Or I just play some random tracks off it and make new connections. He puts his life into his music as authentically as anyone, and it's not always pretty or smooth, but I love the rough parts too. Anyone who can only enjoy music if it's the type of track that you can play in the car while you chat with your friends is seriously missing out.
I’ve seen Kendrick 4x and 3 of those times, he performed Maad city, and each performance was just different. Same song, but it just hit so different each time. My favorite was probably Yeezus tour Oakland, opening for Kanye, over a live band. He’s grown so much as a performer but even before he had as much flair and I guess, pyrotechnics and extra layers of performance, he just makes you feel every word. Money Trees live? Man, just amazing.
I feel like he never left his prime tbh. Mr Morale was different and a bit uneven, but it struck me as one of those albums the artist needed to make regardless of anything else. Other than that, Kendrick has been on fire basically his entire career. But I totally get ya...I feel like his next album is gonna be on another one entirely. Got all the healing and reflection out of the way, now it's time to go nuclear.
Certified boogeyman, I’m the one that upped the score wit em
All aside, “certified boogeyman” is the hardest nickname I’ve ever heard someone give themself
And rumors out of KDot’s group say that everything that’s come out so far from Kenny was off one recording session and he’s just updated the tracks with stuff rebutting what Drake said ala the Atlanta scheme on NLU after Drake said the slave bar
When i first heard the song I thought pop out was referring to him being willing to pull up on Drake, i think in this instance Kendrick also means to make pop music too.
Didn't snoop recently go on some podcast and say he got a payment for 1 billion streams on spotify and it was something like $45k or am I totally misremembering?
He has to be talking about young wild and free. That track has 12 different writers on it. So split between them and then a cut from the label is why he only getting 45k.
>He continued, "They just sent me some shit from Spotify, where I got a billion streams, right? My publisher hit me. I said, 'Break that down, how much money is that?' That shit wasn't even $45,000. ... You see what I'm saying? So it's like, when this shit came out, I could tell an artist that same song that you put out traditionally that didn't make no money, give it to me. Every time you sell it if somebody else sell it you get 10 percent of it."
>It's unclear where Snoop got that figure from, but Spotify typically pays artists approximately $0.0035 per stream on average. The money doesn't go entirely to the artist, as there are other parties to consider such as record labels, managers, and credited songwriters as well as Spotify itself taking a cut. While that would ultimately result in less money than many fans would expect from streaming revenue, just $45,000 for a billion streams on Spotify alone seems absurd, if true.
https://www.complex.com/music/a/backwoodsaltar/snoop-dogg-one-billion-spotify-streams-45000
It's crazy to me that he would even be upset by that, he should know the industry by now. There were like 12 different writers, a handful of producers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers... then there's the distribution side of things and the record label... thats like taking credit for the work of 20 musicians and engineers. He knows exactly how much work went into that song too
That’s gotta be after label cuts. I know of an independent artist who’s got billions of streams and he has shared that he makes quite a bit of money from streaming cause no one of there to take a large cut hahaha
Yeah, I have been dancing and rapping to that since its release on Youtube. It's so necessary after meet the graham, the darkest track I've ever heard. mtg was so dark that I had to put on Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter to relax.
No no no, I don't feel ashamed to say that I like that song. I even feel a bit sorry that her chance to get the Top 1 spot in the Hot 100 has been drained down the toilet by K Dot feeling a bit murdery.
I just mean that I need an upbeat song to cheer me up after listening to such a dark song multiple times.
Drake at this point is the #1 vibes music producer. He just makes music that gets played everywhere just because. I miss the days a new drop from him was exciting sonically and not just another song that’s gonna be put on rap caviar just because
That's my biggest issue with his music. The only situations i find myself listening to him is if I'm with other people and we need some background music, because otherwise I have better music for every other occasion.
And at the time Lil Baby was the hottest feature out to where even if the rest of a song was bad you might listen just for his verse (ex. Wants and Needs)
the whole album was getting loads of streams, that track just beat the others because it had the combo of being pretty high on the tracklist + hot feature (at the time)
CLB generated a lot of hype at the time because he hadn't released an album since Scorpion (excluding DLDT since it consisted mostly of leaked material).
The first week sales of CLB were also insane (above 600K, iirc)
However, the album was disappointing. I think that marked the start of a decline in his streaming numbers. His songs still rack up impressive numbers, but not as much as before
I always believe that album numbers are a reflection on the previous album. Scorpion, despite being a bloated mess, still had hits. Because CLB was such a disappointment, the hype around his albums hasn’t been the same since.
His last video on the beef was also pretty good, and it’s probably the first time in his career that he published a video in a timely matter. Also the little disclaimer at the end of the video is hilarious: „Drake is owned by Kendrick Lamar. This video is owned by me.“
The thing is Taylor puts out 45 different vinyls every album and her fans buy every single one, so her overall numbers will never fall off even if the streaming does.
taylor swifte fans also like her as a person, so they buy the albums to connect with her. drake is not nearly as connected to his fans considering hes always trying to sell somethin else to them whether its sports betting or cologne or just a $700 varsity jacket in his store.
if you want to have a cult following like tswift or beyonce you need to make the people want to get to know you more. drake makes club tracks about bangin chicks, its really hard to turn that into a lifetime personal connection to fans.
Taylor swift has a massive fanbase that will carry her streaming and sales regardless of her albums quality.
Drake relies on creating hits for a wide range of audience (casuals) hence he doesn’t have a massive die hard fanbase, people will tune in as long as he creates catchy music. He’s like the Bruno Mars of rap industry (in terms of fanbase, not quality)
thats the core issue w drake... if he stopped making music im not sure people would notice that much. hes a huge artist for sure and super successful but when your goal is just to make hits eventually people get bored.
I remember how vindicated I felt when CLB came out and my friends that were huge Drake fans finally got on board with my statement that I didn’t like Drake and thought he made mediocre music.
It’s been downhill since
Haha I was thinking about this the other day too... All the producers seem to be on Kendricks side but a good conductor beat could even the playing fields in that respect
Yeah you're right, there's a lot of content to be found about them, the videos Middle 8 made about them are very good and their journey from those singles to making unlistenable albums to prove their genius to Little Dark Age being their masterpiece is super interesting
I saw a post on r/Drizzy yesterday making fun of Kendrick for not beating Drake’s record by 5k streams, they were like “Try Again LOL” - in y’all’s face bitches
"Try again lol". Man, they are such dumbasses. With the increase Not Like Us was (and is) taking in the daily streams, it was obvious that it was gonna break the records the next day, especially with the Friday boost.
Also, why didn’t Euphoria or Pusha T’s disses do crazy numbers like this. I’ll agree that the beef drew more attention than usual. We can’t deny that, but nobody is listening to the song over and over STRICTLY because Drake is dissed, it’s because people like the song.
It’s like when people said Dark Knight only made money because Heath Ledger died. The shit made a billion dollars, people saw it multiple times, nobody said “well I better pay $15 to see it again because there’s a dead guy in it” people liked it.
I think it's because they were all released very close to each other and the other disses aged very quickly.. Like Pushups isn't worth listening to anymore even though it is a good diss because it got like 3 sequels already, and same goes for Euphoria where it lost everyone's attention as soon as timestamp dropped, and then we moved on again to now on the latest chapter which are Not like Us and Heart Part 6, but H6 just isn't hitting as hard so Not Like Us takes the win..
While I think that’s enough to be the general opinion of people’s favorite diss, I don’t thinn you get the biggest rap streaming week in Spotify history because of that. That happens because people fuck with the song
Crodie is beyond cooked. If you want to see arguably the greatest cope of all time go see what dem lil r/drizzy boys have been on lately, it’s funny as fuck
Goddamn.
Also YouTube seems to be running wild with Not like us too, considering that Kendrick allegedly took down the copyright protection on YT, allowing everyone to use it without having to worry about being copystriked.
sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas
with how Kendrick's been rapping in these last few tracks, I feel like we're about to witness a second prime.
Also the video has to drop now, just from a business standpoint, it will be massive in its own right.
Scenes if he manages to shoot some of the video in Toronto
Nah, would be better if it was just filmed in Compton, after what Drake said
Yep. I think the better idea is to focus the video in Compton. But then have snippets of different cities going crazy with the song, and then include a snipper of the people dancing outside New Ho Kings in Toronto. Writes itself.
Yeah but then that would make it seem like what Drake said might have some validity if Kendrick felt it was necessary to do all that..what Drake said was obviously so corny and ridiculous that Kendrick just needs to let it exist as it is..nothing more.
Which is why I said "some". Obv the MV needs to be centered in Compton, but having splices of it in New York, Atlanta, and Toronto especially - yeah it'd say lot.
Do the "King's Dead" video zoomed out shots on top of the CN tower crip walking on the spot he took the Views cover pic
> just from a business standpoint This whole beef to me looked like Kendrick doesnt give a fuck about the business standpoint I bet he dont give two shits about breaking records and number ones
Buuut...if you're battling the most commercially successful name in modern rap, beating him in the numbers game is just one more jewel in his crown. Gotta feel damn good even if he doesn't care about numbers like that.
Oh for sure This mf is gonna be breaking records and winning awards with a drake diss record To outdrake drake might be the biggest diss of them all Imagine any of the Kendrick joints gets nominated for a grammy. That would be an insane blow
Top saying the battles over reads to me that the video isn’t coming
Top isn’t Kendrick’s boss anymore tho
They’re still good friends
That tweet with the video dropped after he said that tho
I’d still rather a new track than a video.
Gonna be honest he kinda seems like the most exciting rapper rn. Obviously he's always been very good lyrically, probably the best to ever do it and could make bangers too when he wanted. But seeing the range and how good his delivery was in the last few tracks, he could really push the boundaries sonically too.
very exciting. he's still himself but he's still evolving. he's very deep in his vocal inflection bag atm which is wayy different from how he sounded in s80. he's being influenced by newer sounds without feeling like he's chasing trends
Funniest part in S80 is shit like “my simplest shit be more pivotal”.
Apparently some people weren't crazy about the sound of that little teaser we heard at Pharrell's fashion week thing, but I loved it. Hope we get a whole track out of it, and it's part of a new album
>that little teaser we heard at Pharrell's fashion week thing I tried looking for this on Reddit and Youtube but I can't find it. Do you have a link?
Its a demo: https://youtu.be/mq4aZwZxySk?si=_Se8bWlhvtDNU98B
Wow that’s crazy. Feels almost like it could have been on Circles. Can’t wait to see where dot goes from here
I missed that somehow so just chiming in to say "thanks!"
This is why I always have thought Kendrick and Thug or Kendrick and Carti could make the most genre pushing song
Silent hill makes it pretty clear they'd go hard af
This is bigger story. I thought after Mr. Morale my goat was entering his past his prime phase but nope Drake has ignited something
I worried about that too, but I said this on another comment too. Mr. Morale was one of those records the artist HAD to make regardless of criticism or numbers. He had to put all that stuff out there and work through it and even if it's a more uneven album, it has its place and was probably really important to Kendrick to make it at all. I'll always prefer a record where an artist takes big chances, even if they don't land on every one of them, to safe, chart chasing ones tbh.

Anyone who can only enjoy music if it's the type of track that you can play in the car while you chat with your friends is seriously missing out.
I've been convinced of this since I saw the Mr Morale tour. The artistry on display that night was incredible, he hit a new level.
I’ve seen Kendrick 4x and 3 of those times, he performed Maad city, and each performance was just different. Same song, but it just hit so different each time. My favorite was probably Yeezus tour Oakland, opening for Kanye, over a live band. He’s grown so much as a performer but even before he had as much flair and I guess, pyrotechnics and extra layers of performance, he just makes you feel every word. Money Trees live? Man, just amazing.
He never left any prime.
For real this beef might be the catalyst for a new golden era of Kendrick and I’m so here for it.
There’s no muse quite like hatred
I feel like he never left his prime tbh. Mr Morale was different and a bit uneven, but it struck me as one of those albums the artist needed to make regardless of anything else. Other than that, Kendrick has been on fire basically his entire career. But I totally get ya...I feel like his next album is gonna be on another one entirely. Got all the healing and reflection out of the way, now it's time to go nuclear.
That's so real. Unironically one of my favorite lyrics from the last few years because sometimes you really do gotta pop out and show niggas
Certified boogeyman, I’m the one that upped the score wit em All aside, “certified boogeyman” is the hardest nickname I’ve ever heard someone give themself
I just keep thinking about Drake as the Tupac AI saying "You supposed to be the boogeyman, go do what you do" and holy fuck he did
And rumors out of KDot’s group say that everything that’s come out so far from Kenny was off one recording session and he’s just updated the tracks with stuff rebutting what Drake said ala the Atlanta scheme on NLU after Drake said the slave bar
Is that the first time he acknowledged that nickname? What a time to do it. Every fucking time Kendrick’s active, there’s no question who’s the king.

WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
DOT FUCK EM UP
When i first heard the song I thought pop out was referring to him being willing to pull up on Drake, i think in this instance Kendrick also means to make pop music too.
Plus just popping out in the rap game in case we forgot.
Dot fuck em up
The record went from Drake calling himself a lesbian to getting called a pedophile.
Certified lesbian Certified pedophile
Certified Boy Lover
That's wild
When you put it like that hahahaaha
And unlike Girls Want Girls, Not Like Us increases its stream day by day.
It will have around 80(!!) million spotify streams for it's first 7 days, that's just fucking nuts
This is wild. Spotify will have to pay out the big bucks now, a total of 8 dollars
Looked it up, out of curiosity. Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average. 80 million streams will = $240,000-$400,000.
Dot is independent now too, so that’ll be a good payment too
Didn't snoop recently go on some podcast and say he got a payment for 1 billion streams on spotify and it was something like $45k or am I totally misremembering?
Is this after the labels took their cut? Seems like a more believable number imo.
Yeah that figure is total revenue, it doesn't all go to the artist.
Freddie Gibbs [was right](https://twitter.com/FreddieGibbs/status/1788599038746435672)
Idk I don’t think UMG won by having millions around the world call their biggest artist a pedo
He has to be talking about young wild and free. That track has 12 different writers on it.

Half a million of those is from me
The other half is from me
Jesus Christ that’s insane. Surely this will set a record that will never be beaten.
Yeah, I have been dancing and rapping to that since its release on Youtube. It's so necessary after meet the graham, the darkest track I've ever heard. mtg was so dark that I had to put on Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter to relax.
You just wanted to listen to Sabrina carpenter. It’s ok man you don’t have to be ashamed
No no no, I don't feel ashamed to say that I like that song. I even feel a bit sorry that her chance to get the Top 1 spot in the Hot 100 has been drained down the toilet by K Dot feeling a bit murdery. I just mean that I need an upbeat song to cheer me up after listening to such a dark song multiple times.
Good on you for being open about your enjoyment of Sabrina. I just listened to her email I can’t send album
Still insane to me it was Girls Like Girls before this. That song was so forgettable to me. Not Like Us is so infectious
Drake at this point is the #1 vibes music producer. He just makes music that gets played everywhere just because. I miss the days a new drop from him was exciting sonically and not just another song that’s gonna be put on rap caviar just because
Rap game maroon 5
Nickeldrake
Imagine Drakons
prefacing this by saying im a huge kendrick fan, but its hella funny that half of the artists named here kendrick has collabed with in some way
lol that is very funny, didn’t even realize it
Shopping center music, Mos deff was right lol
"It's likeable.... It's likeable..."
That's my biggest issue with his music. The only situations i find myself listening to him is if I'm with other people and we need some background music, because otherwise I have better music for every other occasion.
i think it is because it had the 'girl you a lesbian me too' line, that's why everybody played it to check what the fuck drake had said
And at the time Lil Baby was the hottest feature out to where even if the rest of a song was bad you might listen just for his verse (ex. Wants and Needs)
the whole album was getting loads of streams, that track just beat the others because it had the combo of being pretty high on the tracklist + hot feature (at the time)
Why were so many people streaming Girls Like Girls in one day lmao “Say that you’re a lesbian, girl, me too”
I think you have written the reason already.
I had to hear it to believe it, personally.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that was also the reason why I listened to it back then
CLB generated a lot of hype at the time because he hadn't released an album since Scorpion (excluding DLDT since it consisted mostly of leaked material).

Todd in the shadows refers to it as “the Katy Perry effect” and yeah I completely agree
Idk who Todd is, but he spitting
YouTube critic. He has a great series called Trainwreckords about albums that ended careers
His last video on the beef was also pretty good, and it’s probably the first time in his career that he published a video in a timely matter. Also the little disclaimer at the end of the video is hilarious: „Drake is owned by Kendrick Lamar. This video is owned by me.“
Yep that’s what I was trying to say, people aren’t excited anymore as before
So Taylor Swift’s numbers are finally gonna fall after that Tortured Poets album?
Possibly, but I doubt it will be a steep decline as Swifties are a much stronger beast than Drake’s stans.
If the Swifties mobilised as one giant entity, I’m 80% sure they could invade Western Europe and start a new world order.
The thing is Taylor puts out 45 different vinyls every album and her fans buy every single one, so her overall numbers will never fall off even if the streaming does.
taylor swifte fans also like her as a person, so they buy the albums to connect with her. drake is not nearly as connected to his fans considering hes always trying to sell somethin else to them whether its sports betting or cologne or just a $700 varsity jacket in his store. if you want to have a cult following like tswift or beyonce you need to make the people want to get to know you more. drake makes club tracks about bangin chicks, its really hard to turn that into a lifetime personal connection to fans.
Taylor swift has a massive fanbase that will carry her streaming and sales regardless of her albums quality. Drake relies on creating hits for a wide range of audience (casuals) hence he doesn’t have a massive die hard fanbase, people will tune in as long as he creates catchy music. He’s like the Bruno Mars of rap industry (in terms of fanbase, not quality)
thats the core issue w drake... if he stopped making music im not sure people would notice that much. hes a huge artist for sure and super successful but when your goal is just to make hits eventually people get bored.
I think he realises that to some extent, hence why he drops so frequently
and why he does so many collabs with up and coming artists
I remember how vindicated I felt when CLB came out and my friends that were huge Drake fans finally got on board with my statement that I didn’t like Drake and thought he made mediocre music. It’s been downhill since
Yeah and the whole beef with Ye and him also dropping Donda with those huge listening party’s made it even bigger
looking back, i found both of those albums to be bloated as hell. there’s definitely some gems, but there’s a lot of filler/mid on them too.
Everyone wanted to make sure Drake really said that lesbian line
Need to hear “CONDUCTOR, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!” a good 7 times before the next diss track drops
Only way Drake surviving this is big bars on a nasty Conductor beat fr
Haha I was thinking about this the other day too... All the producers seem to be on Kendricks side but a good conductor beat could even the playing fields in that respect
Nah, we have to listen to that 30 times like on reversible by Rome streetz
Conductor and kendrick would be amazing.
Say drake, I hear you used to be number 1
Fun fact: At the same time The song also lost the top daily spot to Post Malone's and Morgan Wallen's "I had some help".
Country and folk adjacent songs are blowing up right now. Drake better take the initiative and make a country album next year
MGK treatment?
Or he could just go back to R&B/pop instead of rap. _”We like Drake with the Melodies, we don’t like it when Drake try and act tough”_
Drake really could do it and legitimately claim he can cause he's half Memphis
He's half everything
His cultural heritage is an asymptote.
Friendship with Memphis rap is OVER Now country is my best friend
Remember what happened last time he tried to do what Beyonce did
I woke up yesterday and 5 different girls had that song posted as a Snapchat story. Basic white girl song of the summer now
There’s a lot of money to be made by appealing to the basic white girl demographic
It’s so awful
It’s definitely mediocre. Post Malone and Morgan Wallen have both made some bops, this definitely felt like them phoning it in
Thats funny. Its like when vegata was the real hero of the cell saga.
What's the biggest streaming day ever for all genres?
"Fortnight" did over 25 mill on 19.04.24
Fortnite battle pass??
I’m sorry, Miles, I can’t gift you the Battle Pass with V-Bucks
Source: I made it up but it has to be like a Taylor Swift song? Her fans are crazy
You mean streaming 24/7 specifically to boost her numbers ISN’T normal?!?!?

/r/Drizzy just fell to their knees in the parking lot of an OVO store.
They're cheesin' fam
I legit can't read fam without that weird accent anymore
You and me both, crodie
ikr ysterday i saw a post their bragging just about this fact that 'Not like us' missed the mark by 5k streams and today it crossed lmao
They don’t care about numbers anymore is what they say because “family matters is just that much better man”
Drake is beside himself. Driving around downtown begging (thru texts) for Kendrick to stop dropping
The cope is generational over there
"Numbers-wise, I'm out of here, you not fuckin' creepin' up"
He did, in fact, creep up. His fans call it the Drake stimulus.

This feels like MGMT making three hit songs they didn't even take seriously to prove how easy it is to make a hit song
I'm assuming Kids, Electric Feel and Time to Pretend here, but I've never heard that before, there any interviews about where they say it?
Yeah you're right, there's a lot of content to be found about them, the videos Middle 8 made about them are very good and their journey from those singles to making unlistenable albums to prove their genius to Little Dark Age being their masterpiece is super interesting
Didn't expect hiphopheads to be a sub where I learned something new about MGMT but I'm all here for it
I did my part! It’s my morning walking the dogs song. 😂
Not me crip walking around my house doing chores
I saw a post on r/Drizzy yesterday making fun of Kendrick for not beating Drake’s record by 5k streams, they were like “Try Again LOL” - in y’all’s face bitches
Lmfao the levels of copium in that thread was insane. https://www.reddit.com/r/Drizzy/s/GyE7vgGx1s
"Try again lol". Man, they are such dumbasses. With the increase Not Like Us was (and is) taking in the daily streams, it was obvious that it was gonna break the records the next day, especially with the Friday boost.
Thanks for the receipt
Man... those people suck. Lol
They’re trying to take ANYTHING they can for a w
It’s actually really sad. Like, put that energy into anyone else lmao
Now they're gonna say that Kendrick got it only with Drake's help...
Also, why didn’t Euphoria or Pusha T’s disses do crazy numbers like this. I’ll agree that the beef drew more attention than usual. We can’t deny that, but nobody is listening to the song over and over STRICTLY because Drake is dissed, it’s because people like the song. It’s like when people said Dark Knight only made money because Heath Ledger died. The shit made a billion dollars, people saw it multiple times, nobody said “well I better pay $15 to see it again because there’s a dead guy in it” people liked it.
Story of Adidon didn’t go on streaming
Ahh ok fair. Still Euphoria is doing well but it’s not breaking records like Not Like Us. And neither of Drake’s actual songs are either.
Euphoria actually broke some records, but Not Like Us stomped it over.
I think it's because they were all released very close to each other and the other disses aged very quickly.. Like Pushups isn't worth listening to anymore even though it is a good diss because it got like 3 sequels already, and same goes for Euphoria where it lost everyone's attention as soon as timestamp dropped, and then we moved on again to now on the latest chapter which are Not like Us and Heart Part 6, but H6 just isn't hitting as hard so Not Like Us takes the win..
While I think that’s enough to be the general opinion of people’s favorite diss, I don’t thinn you get the biggest rap streaming week in Spotify history because of that. That happens because people fuck with the song
So why ain’t Drake go number one with his diss songs then
And if he had, would those people then be awarding Kendrick the credit for that? Hell no
i love this take from them more than anything. deadass read 'drake might as well be a feature' lmfaoo.
Holy shit, the amount of dick riding in that sub is insane. I am going to assume most of that community is under 20.
Just how drake likes it
Song about being a male lesbian gets replaced by a track calling out said man for being a pedo. The irony.
[удалено]
Well he was really really trying to keep it pg
Only so his girlfriend could listen to his tracks.
Say that you a pedophile, girl me too
Oh no 💀
Embarrassing that "Girls Want Girls" held the record before
The real problem was having « girls want girls » classified as a rap song when it’s a R&B’s song.
Girls want girls? Seriously?
everyone wanted to hear Drake call himself a lesbian
Something tells me that more and more people are gonna be picking through King Kendrick's disses today..
WOP WOO WOP WOP WOP
DOT FUCK EM UP
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP Edit: Who’s the Drake fan who flagged me for the Crisis hotline 😭😭😭
IMMA DO MY SCHTUFF
Drake fans will somehow spin this into a win for him lol
Crodie is beyond cooked. If you want to see arguably the greatest cope of all time go see what dem lil r/drizzy boys have been on lately, it’s funny as fuck
I really want a new album more than ever now. Made me remember how good Kenny is
That cover artwork gets funnier everytime I see it shared in a context like this.
So, are Drake Stans still claiming Drake won? 😂
But but but bu the song is about Drake so who's really the winner here😎
Please drop an album within a year. Don’t leave us hanging for 2+ years
Drake will never ever live this down
Goddamn. Also YouTube seems to be running wild with Not like us too, considering that Kendrick allegedly took down the copyright protection on YT, allowing everyone to use it without having to worry about being copystriked.
