Here we go again...
Kendrick Lamar 's "Not Like Us" has broken yet another Spotify record once held by his rival Drake 's 2018 hit, "God's Plan." This time, it's for the fastest rap song ever to surpass 700 million streams on the platform, and you probably already know the discourse around it. K.
Dot fans are rejoicing in the victory, and OVO fans want Kendrick to thank the 6ix God for his success. Either way, both groups are arguing with each other over pointless numbers talk. Nothing will change the Compton lyricist's victory, and it would take about 85 more tracks of this level of success to even begin to creep up on the Toronto superstar's numbers on DSPs.
What's more is that their post-beef movement is also further polarizing fans into making judgement calls about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, confusing their preference for either artist as analysis on the isolated battle itself. The former popped out for a Juneteenth show and music video, keeping quiet throughout it all. The latter just dropped a new set of tracks which many believe he's using to try to revive his various 2024 feuds.
So folks are either labeling this as desperate or are fully content with just the existence of new music regardless of quality...
