Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

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")

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.

#keepitcanadian

buddy gotta keep it canadian

keep it canadian by apologizing

Drake Off, eh

"Not Like Us" is gonna have a fight on its hands going forward what with Richman nipping at its heels and that Morgan Wallen/Post Malone track doing crazy numbers.

yeah, MDB is streaming ahead of NLU globally. The Post Wallen song had a big first day then dropped to 4th in succeeding days.

Cute but needs to go the extra mile and pitch shift his voice to sound like a kid

that's what she said

certified crocodiles

Heh, was listening to Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" and the Spotify algorithm follows it up with "Not Like Us."

spotify is always queuing it up when i am listening to other stuff. someone over there must hate drake lol.

it's a great song. i think the verse comparing drake to slave traders due to his collaborations wtih atlanta rappers is kind of a stretch though.

he went wikipedia on his ass

was having a joke that drendrick has so fully eviscerated krake that the only next logical step for drendrick is start wiki editing beef. drendrick's so thorough that he's probably been a lurking wiki megamod editor since like 8th grade or smthg idk. fucken drendrick, go figure.

i like the atlanta verse. might be a stretch, but it sounds cool *shrug*

the Atlanta verse rules rap is about saying some fly shit not a history class

fr

also Kendrick otm re Drake trading in authenticity, colleague vs colonizer is...a catchy way of putting it

and it responds to drake saying “you’re rapping like you’re trying to free the slaves” in “family matters”

honestly still one of my favorite Drake zings came from the Drake thread here many years ago (not trying to blow smoke, ums, it was funny!)

Drake takes a reasonably decent looking suit and still manages to make it look dorky by way of the exposed tie end.

lol

Hahaha

hah

I was being a dork the other day and was pondering whether carpetbagger would be more accurate than colonizer but nobody outside of a high school history teacher is going to get that ref and colonizer is in the current vernacular and also hits harder
