In a recent development that highlights Kendrick Lamar’s dominance over Drake, his diss track “Not Like Us” has surpassed Drake’s “God’s Plan” as the fastest rap song to reach 200 million streams on Spotify. This milestone was reported on Saturday, May 25, marking a significant point in the ongoing lyrical rivalry between the two rappers.
According to RapTV, “Not Like Us” hit the 200 million stream mark in just 19 days, surpassing the previous record held by “God’s Plan.” This achievement follows Kendrick’s earlier record when “Not Like Us” became the fastest song in Hip Hop history to reach 100 million streams on Spotify, dethroning Drizzy.
The chart performances of their songs reflect the intensity of their feud. Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” premiered at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is currently at No. 2. His earlier diss track, “Euphoria,” debuted at No. 3 and has since dropped to No. 11. Meanwhile, Drake’s response, “Family Matters,” started at No. 7 but has fallen to No. 19. Kendrick’s “Meet the Grahams” holds the No. 23 spot.
Beyond these chart successes, Kendrick’s catalog has seen a significant resurgence on the Billboard 200 chart. Albums like DAMN. and good kid, m.A.A.d city have experienced notable increases in streams and sales. His most recent album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, saw a significant climb before stabilizing, and his classic album To Pimp a Butterfly re-entered the top 200 chart.
Kendrick’s success has not gone unnoticed by fellow artists, including producer Mustard. Celebrating his role in creating “Not Like Us,” Mustard declared Los Angeles “back up” and expressed his gratitude.
