Kendrick Lamar’s latest single, “Not Like Us,” has once again solidified his dominance in the rap world by breaking another one of Drake’s records. The track has surpassed Drake’s “Champagne Dreams” to become the biggest single day streamed solo Hip Hop song, with over 11.85 million streams as of Wednesday. This comes just two days after breaking the record for the biggest single day streams of a Hip Hop song in US Spotify history.
Lamar’s relentless attacks on his rival, Drake, have resonated with fans and critics alike. The lyrics of “Not Like Us” take direct aim at Drake’s alleged preference for younger women, with lines that suggest inappropriate behavior. The cover art of the track further emphasizes this theme, with tags implying residents of Drake’s Toronto home are registered sex offenders.
Despite the controversy surrounding the track, there is no denying the impact it has had on the music industry. Lamar’s ability to stir up conversation and push boundaries has once again set him apart from his competitors. With each record-breaking achievement, he cements his status as one of the most influential and powerful figures in hip hop.
As the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake continues to escalate, fans can expect even more fiery tracks and record-breaking moments in the future. For now, “Not Like Us” stands as a powerful statement of Lamar’s dominance in the rap game and his unwillingness to back down from any challenge.
