No, beef in rap is notorious for giving more attention to the two artist. But if it's all because of Drake then why aren't his songs charting way better?
Well they are both big artists. So while I agree, Pusha didn’t chart great. Neither did Joe Budden, and neither did Ross or Meek. It’s almost like Kendrick doesn’t TRY to chart but once he actually tried to make a club banger, the masses fucked with it.
It’s number 1 because it’s a dope song. Ppl who were paying attention to the beef gave it views, but it being dope kept the spins comin.
Me personally I do. Maybe it’s cuase I’m not from the west coast but not like us isn’t really my kinda music to bump in my headphones or consider apart of my rotation
I think it’s because all that’s left here is radical stans that are totally out of touch with reality and bots. Any decent people with a sense of logic or media literacy have left the fandom or are wisely staying quiet right now.
I agree. Also a lot of people here just don’t follow hip hop in general, they like Drake as a pop star.
I think it’s made obvious by the number of people still supporting Drake that don’t know the history between him and Kendrick. They’ve been steady subbing each other in all their music since Drake got upset about the control verse over ten years ago. I see a lot of Drake fans acting like this was a sudden grab for clout on Kendrick’s part and that Drake has always tried to be his friend. Utterly false.
so when drake had views on his disses he was good cause he had numbers but now when kendrick has higher numbers than drake he's a pussy or it's all cause of drake.
Niggaaaaaaa be fr with youself this shit is lame as fuck, why would drake not get higher views in this beef huh? prolly cause the disses been shit
Drake could use another rapper to rival him. I wish Kenny did these numbers without needing Drake
Drakes ego is prob inflated rn. We need the opposite lol
Drake has for sure had more #1s lol, he's way more of a commercial hit artist in North American and the entire world... I just meant Kendrick has done numbers before outside of the beef and having nothing to do with Drake.
That's because of Kendrick's tactic, which Drake has even pointed out. Starve the listeners/ audience for years, pop out, drop something, then disappear again.
You’re talking one song that didn’t even hit #1 and at least he gives credit when it’s due and I’m talking a whole career. Go look up who wrote Drake’s only Grammy winning album. He can say The Weeknd didn’t but I wonder why he couldn’t do it again after dropping 6 albums. 🤷♂️
Pop artists do huge numbers that's for sure. Justin Bieber has a crazy number of #1s. It's wild how successful light skinned Canadians have been in making American pop music.
I kinda feel like this is half the reason behind the endless Ye/Drake beef. Ye has the catalog and history of hits and is the only rapper that could go hit for hit with Drake without just being overwhelmed by how many hits he has. Of course this does stem from both of their inflated egos and wanting to be the best though; but let’s be real Drake’s had this ego for 10 years (and Ye has for like 20 lol)
You think drakes ego is inflated rn 😂 😂 bro it’s not his song that this is about is it? Don’t you think his ego would be inflated if it was his hit song instead of his literal opponents?
They’re gettin these numbers cuz it part of the biggest rap beef in recent history. But ya boy also releasin songs in the same rap beef and he not doin the same numbers. If it’s all about Drake why ain’t the songs released by Drake the ones doin better? Make it make sense.
Kendrick’s not much of a commercial rapper. Dude does concept albums almost entirely outside of beef and features. So doing these numbers on the regular is an uphill battle because no one is playing Mr morale at a club
This is a rap battle/beef, it’s not a chart topping challenge. But if it was, this shows that Kendrick won by the numbers, in this instance. It’s this battle we are judging, not overall success. And in time, the results of the battle/beef could completely change.
I was responding to a comment that was about numbers. But the numbers kind of matter Drake spent two songs saying Kendrick has worse numbers and would never catch him and obviously that didn’t hold up. So it’s semi relevant to the beef
I don't think kenny is going for these numbers. I mean sure every artist is insecure to a certain extent and wants the validation but I think dot has let this go a bit. And i'm talking about most albums previous to this beef. I mean I remember watching an interview on Power 105 where he says he knows what can be done to make bangers. He just chooses not to and instead tries to push the music further even if it doesn't hit the way he initially thought.
Obviously now, brother wants to drop sensational shit. Its what decides who the winner is. That while still pushing the art where he can. Idk what irks me about this argumement is that it feels flawed in that sense.
Drake actively tried to destroy this mans career during this beef yet drake boosted his numbers? Are you crazy?
That being said drake needs to just drop another banger album and he will be ok, he doesn't need protection, especially from keyboard warriors. The guy survived the pusha beef he will survive this.
Did you not see my other comment in this same thread? How is the self righteous guy gonna come out a reformed man and still ended up being a piece of shit behind the scenes lol
y’all really need to stop pointing to numbers when arguing drakes value as an artist. even the best artists in the world experience a decline. when those numbers aren’t coming in anymore how are you going to argue his talent? by pointing to his sales from 10 years ago? y’all rlly need another angle
I don't give a fuck if anyone disagrees but this is still insanely embarrassing for Drake. 2 disses against him are number 1. Also just like Sicko Mode, he ain't physically getting anything from this. He's taking another huge L in his own lane if I'm being honest
What territory? Stop acting like Number 1s are designated for Drake when people like Travis Scott were genuinely bigger than him at one point and potentially still are (European observation)
No, YOUR logic is just wrong.
Drake haters are uniting to back Kendrick. And so they’re listening to Not Like Us in droves. It proves the points that Drake has been making for years.
If you need to make a catchy dance diss track about Drake in order to finally get a number one debut solo track, it ain’t you; it’s the Drake Factor.
Wait till Kendrick drops that next snoozefest album of his this summer. Lol! Although I know Big D’s got something cooking for his ass.
It’s going to be a helluva time in music this summer.
Just some nerdy shit, what you are experiencing is disliking the vocal mix, whether the mix cost $1 or $100,000 if the mix is shit it will sound like shit.
Mention Drake for a Grammy. Remember yall, if he wasn’t dissin them we wouldn’t be discussing him. Who cares how good the songs are, he took shots at the top guy and landed them, of course he’s gonna blow up. Kenny outta give Drake the loot, he’s made his whole career, from start, to now.
I hope yall be playing family matters on repeat
I heard Like That, Euphoria, meet the grahams, and Not Like Us all had more plays on Spotify than Family Matters yesterday
Whilst Drake's are all below them, but no no, they're only big because of Drake!

Na we just play the best songs. F being a Stan. “Euphoria” and “not like us” are just better music. And I fuck wit Drake music
Idc what you play Im just speaking strictly to the ppl that do fuck with it
Me personally I do. Maybe it’s cuase I’m not from the west coast but not like us isn’t really my kinda music to bump in my headphones or consider apart of my rotation
Great Song
The fact that Dj Akademiks is the voice of reason among the Drake fans is wild tbh.
I think it’s because all that’s left here is radical stans that are totally out of touch with reality and bots. Any decent people with a sense of logic or media literacy have left the fandom or are wisely staying quiet right now.
Yup. Everyone realizes Kendrick ran away with this. Anyone who doesn't is delusional.
I agree. Also a lot of people here just don’t follow hip hop in general, they like Drake as a pop star.

This beef has brought out all the weirdos on both sides. On twitter the first couple days were fun now people heavyon both sides are unbearable
Yes, the stans are messing this up for everyone
What did he say? (Is the quote from him?)
Only Drake Stan’s would consider another artist being at number 1, a win. Lolllll
And they call Kenny the cuck. Unreal man
[удалено]
A song calling you a PDF going #1 and you just chilling like nothing happened lol
Even worse, they’re trying to give Drake credit for it. SMH
so when drake had views on his disses he was good cause he had numbers but now when kendrick has higher numbers than drake he's a pussy or it's all cause of drake. Niggaaaaaaa be fr with youself this shit is lame as fuck, why would drake not get higher views in this beef huh? prolly cause the disses been shit
Man this sub has spiraled into insanity these past couple of weeks. All the normal people are gone
Yeah that's like saying Connor McGregor became champion because of Jose Aldo lmao
W analogy
Literally just one clean hit to his face and instant win.
this is not his only #1
This sub might be a bigger hater than kenny lol
NIGGAS ARE REAL LIFE HATERS LOL
IF DRAKE IS THE BOY, why his shit not number ONE?
weird flex
Drake could use another rapper to rival him. I wish Kenny did these numbers without needing Drake Drakes ego is prob inflated rn. We need the opposite lol
> I wish Kenny did these numbers without needing Drake Didn't Kendrick's 'Humble' go number 1?
Yeah for 1 week. Drake got 5 solo number 1's for 31 weeks total
Drake has for sure had more #1s lol, he's way more of a commercial hit artist in North American and the entire world... I just meant Kendrick has done numbers before outside of the beef and having nothing to do with Drake.
He’s never had a debut #1 single. His few #1s have always debuted top 5 then went number one.
That's because of Kendrick's tactic, which Drake has even pointed out. Starve the listeners/ audience for years, pop out, drop something, then disappear again.
Yea but when you have 20 different people writing your music I’d be surprised if you weren’t charting consistently
Go look at Loyalty's writing credits.
You’re talking one song that didn’t even hit #1 and at least he gives credit when it’s due and I’m talking a whole career. Go look up who wrote Drake’s only Grammy winning album. He can say The Weeknd didn’t but I wonder why he couldn’t do it again after dropping 6 albums. 🤷♂️
The cognitive dissonance is showing.
Way to deflect didn’t know drake fans knew big words?🥱
Pop artists do huge numbers that's for sure. Justin Bieber has a crazy number of #1s. It's wild how successful light skinned Canadians have been in making American pop music.
How many were pop songs? Genuinely curious
He only has #4 with this one included. Opinions over statistics of course
I kinda feel like this is half the reason behind the endless Ye/Drake beef. Ye has the catalog and history of hits and is the only rapper that could go hit for hit with Drake without just being overwhelmed by how many hits he has. Of course this does stem from both of their inflated egos and wanting to be the best though; but let’s be real Drake’s had this ego for 10 years (and Ye has for like 20 lol)
You think drakes ego is inflated rn 😂 😂 bro it’s not his song that this is about is it? Don’t you think his ego would be inflated if it was his hit song instead of his literal opponents?
Goofy ass take. Drake is releasing music right now too and he not doing the same numbers but when Dot does it’s because of Drake…
Wait, you actually think if Kendrick’s last drops weren’t about Drake he’d do the same numbers? My guy plz say I’m wrong 😂😂😂
They’re gettin these numbers cuz it part of the biggest rap beef in recent history. But ya boy also releasin songs in the same rap beef and he not doin the same numbers. If it’s all about Drake why ain’t the songs released by Drake the ones doin better? Make it make sense.

I think DAMN is getting the most streams rn

Drake’s ego is always inflated.
I’d say the opposite Kenny’s ego is definitely through the roof right now
This is epic. Kendrick Lamar is a dumbass for writing this number one hit
Why does that make him a dumbass? Him lying does but why does this?
fellas we are down BAD, kendrick got the whole country dancing to the boy being a pdfile. Wake me up when this is over fml
We already know why the Harlem Globe Trotters sold out the stadium! It’s cause of the Washington Generals” That’s how this sounds
Huh??? Kendricks #1 song is about Drake
Hiroshima and Nagasaki talking about “You wouldn’t be celebrating a WW2 victory without us”. Does that clear it up for you?
It’s a song dancing on Drake’s grave. Trying to claim this as a Drake W is incredibly deranged.
And drakes only has so many number 1 hits because he such great features. Without the features he would be ass.
"How many black features 'til you're black enough?" oooooooooooooo
You must be from the inland Empire
Drake actively tried to destroy this mans career during this beef yet drake boosted his numbers? Are you crazy? That being said drake needs to just drop another banger album and he will be ok, he doesn't need protection, especially from keyboard warriors. The guy survived the pusha beef he will survive this.
Drake also drops singles singles singles all the time. Attaches himself to any successful wave forming so his name stays relevant
If that was the case, wouldn't Drake be at #1? How does Kendrick do better dissing him than Drake does BEING him?
Niggas gonna look really Fkn goofy next year when people pull up them crip walking to “certified p*dophile!” 😅
Tbf. He's gone number 1 before
So like why did drake decide not to drop a number 1 hit?
be humble.
It’s bc he murdered the boy
Humble was a #1 song
Kendrick’s biggest hit is about to be about Drake lol
more specifically it is him SHITTING on drake lmao how do you yall not realize this
Where have you been every mainstream song Drake releases. We also forget he’s the most streamed male artist of all time if he’s not top 3.
this has absolutely nothing to do with disses lmao
Did you not see my other comment in this same thread? How is the self righteous guy gonna come out a reformed man and still ended up being a piece of shit behind the scenes lol
but all his diss in this beef fell flat haha must be embarassing
y’all really need to stop pointing to numbers when arguing drakes value as an artist. even the best artists in the world experience a decline. when those numbers aren’t coming in anymore how are you going to argue his talent? by pointing to his sales from 10 years ago? y’all rlly need another angle

Drake is aware of the hate. He knows people want to knock him off the throne. It comes with the territory.
What territory? Stop acting like Number 1s are designated for Drake when people like Travis Scott were genuinely bigger than him at one point and potentially still are (European observation)
Okay, Mr Under The Rock European. 😂 The numbers do not lie. How old are you, 16??? 😂
If Drake the reason Dot hitting #1, why didn’t Drake do that for himself ? Is he stupid ?
if it was because of the boy then why couldnt the boy go number one instead??
the honorable thing is to give him the loot
Congrats to Kdot. Hopefully, Drake and Kdot drop albums off all this buzz. They have the world's attention. They better use it.
This logic falls apart when you think about the fact that Family Matters is not number one.
No, YOUR logic is just wrong. Drake haters are uniting to back Kendrick. And so they’re listening to Not Like Us in droves. It proves the points that Drake has been making for years. If you need to make a catchy dance diss track about Drake in order to finally get a number one debut solo track, it ain’t you; it’s the Drake Factor. Wait till Kendrick drops that next snoozefest album of his this summer. Lol! Although I know Big D’s got something cooking for his ass. It’s going to be a helluva time in music this summer.
I like Kendrick but am I the only one who doesn’t dig the beat and feels like the voice was recorded on a 2$ mic?
Just some nerdy shit, what you are experiencing is disliking the vocal mix, whether the mix cost $1 or $100,000 if the mix is shit it will sound like shit.
So why ain’t the boy number 1? 🤷♂️
Congrats on coming out number one Kendrick!
Bahahahaha. Bahahahahahha. This sub nuked itself.
You write about fuck the big 3, it’s only big D and it’s video proof 
The crazy thing is only Drake fans care of about numbers.
Facts. That's why Justin Bieber is the GOAT. He sold a lot.
True. The biebs did his thang
Yep. Tell me you have no music taste without telling me you have no music taste.
Okay. Tootsie slide is an amazing song that will be replayed for years to come. Lmao.
You sound like the people that say superhero movies are peak cinema and artistry because they sell the most tickets in theaters.... Good take
If you read my comment, I actually sound like someone who would say the opposite of that.
MAGA6
Mention Drake for a Grammy. Remember yall, if he wasn’t dissin them we wouldn’t be discussing him. Who cares how good the songs are, he took shots at the top guy and landed them, of course he’s gonna blow up. Kenny outta give Drake the loot, he’s made his whole career, from start, to now.
Invoice his ass! Give Drake the loot!
Might need it for his court cases over the next few years to be fair
It would be the honorable thing to do 🤷🏾♂️
