Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” becomes most streamed diss song

In a major milestone for hip-hop, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has surged to the top of the music world. Released in early May, this potent diss track aimed squarely at Drake has not only dominated charts but has now set a new record as the most streamed diss track in Spotify history.

With over 647 million streams, “Not Like Us” has eclipsed 2Pac’s legendary 1996 track “Hit ‘Em Up,” which held the previous record with just over 641 million streams. The achievement underscores Kendrick Lamar’s extraordinary influence and the massive resonance of his music in today’s digital age.

“Not Like Us” made a spectacular debut, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving platinum status within its first two weeks—a testament to both its immediate appeal and enduring impact. The song’s striking success is further highlighted by its nomination for Song Of The Year at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). With its profound cultural impact and summer dominance, many industry insiders believe Kendrick has a strong chance of winning this prestigious award.

The track’s success also reflects the ongoing evolution of hip-hop and streaming dynamics. In contrast to the East Coast-West Coast feud highlighted by 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” Kendrick’s track represents a new era of rivalry and artistry, resonating deeply with a global audience.

As the summer continues, “Not Like Us” remains a cultural touchstone, pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the music industry. With its record-breaking streams and high-profile VMA nomination, Kendrick Lamar’s latest release not only cements his position as a leading voice in hip-hop but also redefines the genre’s impact on modern music consumption.
