Argentina took a shot at music artist Drake after the Canadian lost $300,000 on a bet that his country would beat the defending champions in Tuesday's Copa América semifinal, using rap rival Kendrick Lamar's song to send him a message.

Drake posted an image on Instagram that showed his bet would have given him a $2.88 million payout if Canada had won, but goals from Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi moved Argentina into their fourth final in five editions.

The World Cup winners responded to Drake's post with a photo accompanied by the caption: "Not like us," the title of a diss track released by Lamar in May which criticised the Canadian artist and which has been streamed nearly half a billion times on Spotify.

The music video has more than 115 million views on YouTube after both rappers released several solo tracks taking aim at each other.

Argentina are looking to secure a record 16th Copa América title and will play either Uruguay or Colombia in Sunday's final.

drake needs to log off for a while

Unfortunately and hilariously, logging off is the one the Drake will absolutely not do

"Not Like Us" back to #1 on US Spotify, #4 on World Spotify, and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Like That" at #14 as well)

yeah the whole build up to the historically important war was kendrick telling drake to calm down and be normal but he could not do it xp

Kendrick is a really bad foe for Drake because his cachet is not built around being the biggest/most popular rapper in the world so all of Drake's usual tactics don't work that well

though he may be more popular than ever now thanks to drake lol

If there were an instrumental "6:16 in L.A.," I could keep that going on a loop for hours.

i wonder why that one isn't on streaming?

I bet it's related to the Al Green sample. It's still up as an Instagram post.

kendrick and pusha t both owned drake theyre pretty similar smart mature analytical guys who have personal integrity where drake is a nihilistic hedonistic cocky front runner

i wouldn't be shocked if Not Like Us retook the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100

finally happened

are these AI? please tell me they're not AI

Not Like Us on a ballpark organ. Damn, this is kind of perfect between-batter music.

As I was just posting elsewhere today, I can also now confirm it passes the “beats half heard under the industrial hum of the fridges and fans at the local sandwich shop and still sounds pretty damn great” test.

Has “Not Like Us” become “The Macarena”?

That will depend on whether or not we get footage of it being blared at the DNC.

I'm feeling like this becoming closer and closer to actually happening.

Trump's got a lot in common with Drake

I’m… actually kind of psyched for the DNC?

I've been listening to the radio edits, and they're great! there's one that removes anything that could be considered defamatory towards drake or his crew. so words like "nose" are out. there's a "super extra clean" radio edit on youtube that's a parody, I think, just ducks random words basically. the Fly FM edit, though... that one obscures "Atlanta was the Mecca", presumably out of respect towards Muslims. I thought that was interesting.

Paul McCartney threatened to sue

i hear radio edits that seem to censor "sixty" but not "nine"? i don't really understand censoring either one, but just doing one makes zero sense to me.

Is it in one where they're scrubbing the Drake mentions? Then they would be cutting out the "6 God" wordplay.

Given the new "they're weird" rallying cry and the implied reversal of pizzagate, this would be pretty amazing in an "eating popcorn while the world collapses" kind of way

ok i've stopped following politics again, is this literally the branding the democrats are going with

and is this actually, like, working with voters

i mean if that's what voters want to hear, if they like listen to peter gabriel's "not one of us" and go "right on peter, you tell 'em!"... i think that's kinda weird of them but i got other shit to worry about

can't afford to think about what people like that will do to me, not right now

this was the second hit on a duckduckgo search on "you're weird" fwiw

https://www.lifehack.org/448951/dont-feel-hurt-when-others-say-youre-weird-take-it-as-a-compliment-instead

being weird is a superpower! OWN it! better to be a nerd than one of the herd!

"Weird" is a compliment to me, to us, not to a MAGA sex pest.

Keep Austin/Portland/etc. Normal

thinking "weird" is a slur is kinda weird to me

well, yeah!

many words mean different things depending on the context in which they are used...

I just say "creepy weird" to be specific.

yeah i think that makes sense, there's a difference between, like, pronouncing "schedule" the british way despite living in california and, like, thinking the age of consent should be 12.

A slight one

what

Paul McCartney threatened to sue

who?

My lord

he didn't try to sue Kendrick afaict?

this is all i could find but yeah no suit or anything just co-credits on a kanye song

Come on guys

though... that one obscures "Atlanta was the Mecca", presumably out of respect towards Muslims. I thought that was interesting.
