Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s blistering “Like That” collaboration continues to make a dent — and not just in Drake and J. Cole‘s armor.
The track, which famously finds K. Dot taking aim at his “Big Three” rivals, has set a new commercial record after reaching one million equivalent sales units in less than three weeks.

According to Chart Data, it’s the fastest song to reach the mark this year.
While achieving one million units makes a song eligible for platinum certification, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has yet to officially hand out a plaque.
Taken from Future and Metro’s joint album We Don’t Trust You, “Like That” has quickly proven to be one of 2024’s most successful rap songs, not to mention arguably its most scathing.
The track debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month after amassing 59.6 million streams, 5.6 million radio airplay audience impressions and 9,000 sales-equivalent units in its first week.

It marked a third chart-topper for both Kendrick and Future, while it was Metro’s first as a lead artist.
“Like That” has since spent a second week atop the chart, becoming Kendrick’s longest-running No. 1 single, besting 2017’s “HUMBLE.” and 2015’s “Bad Blood (Remix)” with Taylor Swift.

We Don’t Trust You as a whole has been a commercial hit, with the album also debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 250,000 first-week units — the second highest sales tally in 2024 behind only Beyoncé.
While Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar each possess major commercial pull, the success of “Like That” can be attributed to the latter’s show-stealing guest verse, which contains shots at Drake and J. Cole.
“Fuck sneak dissin’, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” he raps on the hard-hitting track, referencing the pair’s own chart-topping collaboration “First Person Shooter.”

The Compton kingpin also attempts to settle the long-running debate over who’s the best between him, Cole and Drizzy and spins the latter’s For All the Dogs LP into a menacing bar.
“Motherfuck the big three, n-gga, it’s just big me,” he declares, before adding: “‘Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/ That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”

While Drake has yet to directly respond, Cole fired back on “7 Minute Drill” before controversially retracting his rebuttal and apologizing to Kendrick on stage at Dreamville Festival.
