Kendrick Lamar Debuts At No. 1 With Drake Diss “Not Like Us”

Kendrick Lamar added insult to damage as his Drake diss monitor “Not Like Us” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Scorching 100. The DJ Mustard-produced tune debuted on the high of the chart because of 70.9 million streams, 5 million radio airplay viewers impressions and 15,000 copies offered within the U.S. in its first week.

“Not Like Us” was Kendrick’s second Drake diss to achieve No. 1. Future and Metro Boomin’s Kendrick-assisted “Like That,” the opening salvo within the Drake battle, spent three weeks at No. 1 in April. “Not Like Us” was the fourth No. 1 hit of Kendrick’s profession. His different chart-topping entries included “Humble” and the Taylor Swift collaboration “Unhealthy Blood.”

Kendrick rapidly launched “Not Like Us” after dropping “Meet the Grahams,” a response to Drake’s “Household Issues.” Okay. Dot referred to as Drake a predator on “Meet the Grahams,” equating the Canadian’s alleged misdeeds to these of disgraced film government Harvey Weinstein. Kendrick doubled down on his accusations on “Not Like Us.”

“Say, Drake, I hear you want ’em younger/You higher not ever go to cell block one/To any b#### that speak to him they usually in love/Simply be sure to disguise your lil’ sister from him/They inform me Chubbs the one one which get your hand-me-downs/And Occasion on the get together enjoying together with his nostril now/And Baka obtained a bizarre case, why is he round?/Licensed Lover Boy? Licensed pedophiles/Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Dot, f### ’em up/Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, I’ma do my stuff/Why you trolling like a b####? Ain’t you drained?/Tryna ring a bell and it’s most likely A minor,” he rapped.

Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” was arguably the largest blow within the battle with Drake. The tune inspired followers to chant traces like “freaky-ass n####, he a 69 God” and “OV-ho,” coming into the popular culture zeitgeist in a a lot totally different means than Kendrick and Drake’s earlier diss tracks.

Drake defended himself by releasing “The Coronary heart Half 6.” Many followers deemed it to be too little, too late, declaring Kendrick the winner.
