Kendrick Lamar has broken yet another record of Drake‘s amid their lyrical battle, with “Not Like Us” now surpassing a streaming milestone previously set by 2018’s “God’s Plan.”
According to a post from Chart Data on Tuesday (May 14), the Mustard-produced diss record became the fastest song in Hip Hop history to reach 100 million streams on Spotify – a record Drizzy previously held with the Scorpion cut.
Both rappers are taking over the Billboard Hot 100 with their feud.
In the new chart released on Monday (May 13), “Not Like Us” premiered at No. 1., followed by his earlier diss “Euphoria” at No. 3 for its second week on the chart and the song that started it all, Metro Boomin and Future‘s “Like That,” at No. 6.
And for Drake, his Kendrick diss “Family Matters” has entered the chart at No. 7.
Reacting to the No. 1, Mustard rejoiced in being back on top and declared the city of Los Angeles “back up.”
“Sometimes you really gotta pop out and show n-ggas!!!!” he said. “To think . . . They really fronted on me and acted like I’m not who I am! I’m thankful but not surprised; I never lost sight and stayed down.
“With my back against the wall is where I thrive. Summer started last week according to me!! See ya sooner than you think! cc: @kendricklamar city back up !!!”
In addition, Kendrick Lamar’s catalog has enjoyed a huge surge in success on the Billboard 200 chart.
All of the Compton rapper’s major label projects currently sit on the chart and have all seen significant spikes in streams and sales after increased interest in his past releases.
DAMN. currently sits in the highest spot at number 18, up from No. 41 the week before.
good kid, m.A.A.d city, which is the longest-running Hip Hop studio album on the Billboard 200, is currently number 23 after being the 51st best-selling album last week.
Kendrick’s most recent effort, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, has also enjoyed a huge climb, rising to number 55 from number 192.
To Pimp a Butterfly also re-entered this week’s chart at number 109 after previously falling out of the top 200.
Drake, meanwhile, continues to have many spots on the Billboard 200 but has seen his chart positions fall across the board.
The 6 God’s current highest charting album is For All the Dogs, which sits at number 20 after occupying the number 17 spot the week before.
Kendrick up!
I hate the Era of streaming. Back when you had to buy physichal media, it meant real fans bought it. The “bhad babies” of the world wouldn’t have ever made it, because despite the shock value junk, people may click for free for the drama, but they won’t spend their money on a cd.
All but validates Cole’s “if he weren’t dissing we’d not be talking about him.” one sold coz it was a good song. The other because of clout.
Cole took an L. no coming back from that. He didn’t want the smoke from Kdot. He should go back to folding clothes and drinking almond milk
Kendrick is better. #BBLDRIZZY even got dissed by Ice Cube son and Oscar Meyer IG. No one respects him. His fuckboy simp fans like that homothug Game are now not only heartbroken at the girls that left them, but over this massive L Aubrey Epstein received. Rather you than me 💔
