Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

Appreciate the services of lagoon in exploring the beef mines

I really feel like the perpetually online culture is ruining rap beef

We had a perfectly good, albeit one-sided battle on "wax", now everyone is screaming for receipts, conducting amateur detective work, doing fan theories, creating threaded conspiracy boards, and it's like....

Once upon a time all ya did was yell "OHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when the beat dropped out and that was pleasure enough.

With that being said if the latest has the potential to make DRAKE LOOK EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS

Then I'm down

yes nice summarising! further resources -
longer pastebin notes from the coolee interview
and the whole thing if you want to join true beef detective club

the beefers are purposely feeding it too putting weird lil clues in the songs etc, its kind of lame but also kind of interesting too so idk xp

🙏🙏 it was tough having to go on reddit.com but i needed the truth

the beefers are purposely feeding it too

seriously. kendrick's having just as much fun messin with everyone as he is eviscerating drake.

i was just in a store and hotline bling came on and i heard a couple audible groans lol

Oh Azealia

She’s not wrong. Extra points for (surprisingly) bugging up Homeboy Sandman.

"she's not wrong"

right. the author cannot be wrong about their own fantasy world.

azealia far from boring, give you that much

"women and geminis know things" not her best work (grimes smelling like a roll of nickels)

Azealia bringing Biden into the beef is exactly why calling someone a pedophile in a sing-song catchy way isn't so different from what Trump does (even with hints and allegations).

lol, okay. now i've heard it all

Yay new display name time

(even with hints and allegations).

If you’ll be my bodyguard

Why do we have to pay any attention to Azealia Banks

The answer lies in the ending of a much more confusing version of "Death of a Salesman"

I’m very interested in how any of these songs chart.

not like us and euphoria are both gonna be in the top 3, idk about family matters but you'd think it'll be way up there too.

Euphoria debuted at #11 on the Billboard 100
Push-ups is at #17

twitter is once again shadowbanning chart data, so we may never know

That #11 is from only two days of streaming though

"Not Like Us" will be eligible for next week's chart but was only available for 5 days of that week

saw that it had the most streams for any rap song ever with some criteria that i dont remember

It had most streams for a rap song in a single day-- 6.8 million

Seems like its been consistently the #2 most streamed song on Spotify (behind something called "Million Dollar Baby")

These are global Spotify numbers for that week, but:

Espresso- 67.8 million
Not Like- Us 60.2 million
Million Dollar Baby- 59.5 million
Euphoria- around 50 million

not like us has been number one on apple music since its release but they don't share streaming numbers

Seems like its been consistently the #2 most streamed song on Spotify (behind something called "Million Dollar Baby")

The #Hot100 top 10 (chart dated May 18, 2024)

xpost Yeah, that’s a good song. Not what I was expecting.

https://www.stereogum.com/2263317/kendrick-lamars-drake-diss-not-like-us-debuts-at-1/news/

all of those are diss tracks, which makes Kendrick the king of disrespect.

King of Dissful Thinking

And it’s only taking into account the first four days or so? With current numbers It will probably be remain in #1 for three weeks straight.

yeah, not that it's a completely reliable metric but "not like us" has been in last.fm's top 5 trending since it dropped, usually at 1 or 2.

i don't really know last.fm too much but i'd say it feels pretty reliable in the context of all the other data out there

lol i just realized we are totally nate silvering kendrick right now like fuckin primary polling

i dont know from charts but i found myself at a club on saturday and can confirm that when the DJ dropped "not like us" the entire place went absolutely nuts like nothing else all night

I was at a New Hampshire diner and they were happy that Kendrick was going after pedophiles but wanted to know more about his Border policies.

dis records arent real life!

it will probably be pushed out of #1 for at least a week by the new post malone/morgan wallen song :(

The best top ten in recent memory.
