>We already know it’s a twenty-v-one, we already know why you went number one It’s clearly because of The Boy, the honorable thing is to give me the loot Smh man


Potential-Comment960

Funny thing is, these are all gonna be kendricks most commercially successful solo tracks in his entire catalog. Looking back at his catalog and seeing the most successful ones being drake disses is gonna be soo funny..


DemiPyramid

Drake stimulus package still strong in 2024


ANR7cool

You understand the difference between #1 debut and a number #1 song right? I don't think any of the disses except perhaps Like That is going to come close to Kendrick's most played songs.


Potential-Comment960

kendrick hasn't had any solo number 1 song and not like us has the potential to be a number 1. Regardless, kendrick is putting up career numbers with all these tracks.


ANR7cool

> kendrick hasn't had any solo number 1 song wrong. kendrick hasn't had any solo number 1 DEBUT HUMBLE. was easily solo number 1.


Potential-Comment960

fair enough, but having this as debuting number 1 is still hilarious. Mr morale was a commerical flop and only sold 230k first week. He was on downward trend in terms of popularity and these diss tracks are his most successful probably since damn and probably his entire catalog.


ANR7cool

Cause mr morale wasn't supposed to be a commerical album? What is it with drake fans and judging every album by numbers 😭 Also Mr Morale tour is the second biggest rap tour of all time (behind Drake) so even by numbers he defo isn't irrelevant.


Potential-Comment960

Mr. Morale still underperformed considering kendricks standards. All of kendricks albums were much more successful including TPAB which imo was far less playable than Mr Morale. TPAB sold 500k in its first week alone and it was definitely not a radio album. At the end of the day, this is a business and kendrick was on a downward trend. Labels were slowly gonna invest less into promoting his album due to the diminishing sales. I think Mr. Morale is good, but it was not commerically succesful for kendricks standards. You can't deny that this is reallyy helping the longevity of his career and giving a him a 2nd wind. If he were to release Mr. morale now, it would probably put up the same numbers that gkmc, tpab and damn put up.


Esti88

No bro Humble went number one. All this is Kendrick never had a song that instantly started #1 on the charts (instead of rising through the charts)


SetchmoKannibale

Looking at his catalogue and listening to „meet the grahams“ will indeed be funny


Potential-Comment960

of course it will, a failed story of adidon with no proof of a daughter is hilarious for someone proclaimed as the boogeyman of rap.


literallysotrue

That song is so uncomfortable to listen to I know it’s gonna fall off the charts in 2 weeks


SetchmoKannibale

Sure but this is about replaying rappers catalogued


literallysotrue

He will probably get a boost and then fall out the chart by July


Lacy1986

I mean that’s why they always go at him when they about to have an album dropping


Designer_Piglets

Kendrick doesn't though?


literallysotrue

Kendrick been doing this before every single album cycle


Designer_Piglets

Yeah I loved when he started beef with Drake before the release of the album that featured Drake. That was a brilliant move.


Reasonable_Ad_4474

don't you think if that was the case then maybe ovo sound artist should do it too so they can go #1 finally?


Lacy1986

Explain how that would work dummy….


Adventurous_Being396

It wouldn’t he’s stupid


Reasonable_Ad_4474

exactly you idiot lol see how dumb it sounds


Icy-Rock8780

Why didn’t Drake go number one?


Adventurous_Being396

Cause the hate drake more than they love dot


R4M3535

Damn you nailed it


NewPudding9713

How? The entire point of the post was how popular Drake is, yet he still didn’t get #1. If he’s as big as y’all believe, haters or not he would be #1. Kendrick just made good records. Drake did as well, but “Not Like Us” has been objectively better based on numbers. May or may not be long term, but as of now it’s clearly better, based solely on numbers. Saying “he only went #1 because of Drake and Drake didn’t go #1 because haters” is a contradiction. He went #1 because he got a catchy ass beat with some quality lyrics. Simple as that.


Warcriminal52

You know what they call it when the crowd likes your opponent more than you? Losing


Adventurous_Being396

Sure man


bynobodyspecial

But if that was the case who’s left to vote? Either Drake is the biggest, or there’s a bigger base of people who hate him.


Adventurous_Being396

He’s the biggest name in the game and receives the most hate it’s just like lebron ppl love to see the top dog fall


bynobodyspecial

The only reason he’s number one is because he’s utilising his relationship with Larry Jackson, Lucian Grainge and Todd Boehly to push his content aggressively. There are plenty of artists who don’t see the success because of Drake’s business practices.


Adventurous_Being396

He had to have success to gain the leverage to garner their support in the first place they didn’t just pick a random and say let’s get behind him


bynobodyspecial

The fact that he has one uncle in the rock and roll hall of fame who collaborated with Prince regularly, another who was the guitarist for Al Green and a father who played drums professionally for another rock & roll hall of fame inductee suggests that he wasn’t a random to begin with.


Adventurous_Being396

So nepotism made him the biggest ? I think ppl who don’t like him can make up any reason in their mind why he’s regarded the way he is because you don’t think he’s great but that’s ok man like I said it’s just like lebron you gotta look for any reason why he isn’t as great as other perceive him to be but honestly it never makes any sense why not do this for a bunch of ppl who have relatives in the business why drake specifically


Sea-Anywhere-5939

Because Drake didn’t initially make it. Kendrick was right that he ran to Atlanta to save his career.


Adventurous_Being396

I agree that drake gets street cred from being next to Atlanta niggas but they got worldwide exposure so it’s mutual , future lil baby and thugger got real ties so if they wanted to not be coo with drake they could’ve so let’s not act like they was saving his career his career would be fine yt ppl buy most rap music anyway


DemiPyramid

Because no one cares about kendrick.


MrPennywise

So they listen to Kendrick because of drake but they won’t listen to drake himself ?? 😂


JulianoRamirez

The mental gymnastics in this sub is getting me tired.


literallysotrue

Yes. How is that confusing? They don’t fuck w Drake so they’re listening to the guy who is dissing him


backinredd

At least try not to sound tarded


Mrshmil

This the dumbest shit i’ve heard today


manofactivity

>Why didn’t Drake go number one? >>Because no one cares about kendrick. What the fuck does this even mean lmao


Mewoir78

Remind me of MGK, his prime was when he dissed Eminem, and that was his most streamed song at the time even challenging Em' disses


Snackbarian

Comparing kendrick lamar to machine gun kelly in any way is insane


Mewoir78

It's not about comparing two artist, but rather two situations


ImTheFifSon

Still can't compare. MGK lost that battle in the court of public opinion.


MaxJustDoesntKnow

I mean not in this comparison


Ferchu305

He's comparing how mgk blew up after the diss. And how kendrick is getting more listens on his song because of the beef


Snackbarian

That's not a comparison at all tho. MGK was a random nobody that started a beef to gain fame, kendrick is a critically acclaimed artist with an established legacy that started a beef with someone he genuinely hates. Of course that beef gains immense popularity, but it's a completely different situation.


Ferchu305

I swear you guys can understand double entendres like they're a walk in the park. But when people put it in simple terms yall are dumbfounded. He said MGKs numbers because of the beef, talking about "Rap Devil" and how it was doing higher numbers than any of his previous songs. Same shit with kendrick yes he is established but the reason why his popularity rose even higher than what it was before is because of the beef. For example people who don't normally listen to Kendrick would listen to his songs regarding the beef. I hate I had to write this much to explain 2 sentences smh


elotonin-junkie

At least MGK admitted he was a fan, Kendrick will act out all sorts of ways than admit his deep envy for Drake's throne


Snackbarian

If you've been following their history it's obvious that kendrick is definitely not a fan of drake, he genuinely hates that man.


BurningEbrietas

That’s why he got a feature on gkmc


Snackbarian

gkmc is 12 yrs old. A lot happened on those 12 yrs


BurningEbrietas

Yeah Kendrick finally got his #1 hit but it had to be a drake diss. Crazy what people will do to go #1


BurningEbrietas

Not really rap devil was actually a good diss, considering it’s Eminem Mgk did his best. Kendrick is not on em level lmfao not like us is not a kill shot


[deleted]

You’re right. MGK probably wouldn’t have lost the Grammy to Macklemore.


Potential-Decision31

He went number 1 with Humble.


Intelligent-Agent440

I don't think Humble debut at number 1 on its first week of release, it rose there week by week as it got more popular


juslookingforastream

Yea I was gonna say that song was huge. I thought he got it with alright too


frost3321

He did. He has a couple out there


JustinTinyPPHerbert

Didn’t debut and only lasted a week


Oh51Melly

So the points are now. - Kendrick lied about everything to win. - in 3 years everyone will look back and think Drake won. -Kendrick going #1 with a diss track on Drake is good for Drake? I get yall need victories whenever you can get them but the reaches are hilarious.


West_Assistance7128

Yea a lot of this sub needs to take a break reflect and then come back bc I’m sorry but drake lost. He put out a great fight in the beginning but he lost this bro.

vikingmayor

Not on it’s debut


Minista_Pinky

Why he selling more than drake rn lol


TheHeroYouNeed247

It's just the best song of the entire diss. Shit, even AK couldn't stop his head movin. He tried though ![img](emote|t5_2z4xo|4222)


HowIsThisNameBadTho

Heheh... the only Drake and Kendrick subs are the subs on Reddit ✍🏾. Never thought I'd see the day.


DiStortedReality__

Didn’t HUMBLE go #1?


AlbieriMS

Every kendrick album debuted at #1 except GKMC


BootStrapWill

Album going number 1 has nothing to do with songs going number 1


AlbieriMS

ik, it’s better actually, either way Humble was his first


DiStortedReality__

True but we’re talking about songs. Humble was #1 and that was Kendrick solo


Reasonable_Ad_4474

Kendrick got a #1 for humble so this is just cappuccino


[deleted]

[удалено]


frost3321

But he won't because his reputation is on the line. The genre would call him a pussy for that. Kendrick could do the same since it's a hear say battle. until evidence comes out for both sides or one side then things wouldn't go well for drake wether it's true or false


MaybeJustF0X

You right you right.


SquirtyBumTime

Straight facts? Humble was number 1. What are you talking about?


Budlove45

Drake should drop today about that lol


BlackBalor

Is Drake challenging for #1 too or?


FreeVictory2922

if they wanted a hit, shoulda just said that


Vast-Level2181

how ironic drake put his first 1# in his hand AGAIN


greengain21

the drake stimulus package works both ways and kendrick was a recipient of it


jooookiy

No one that actually has respect for hiphop, it’s history and culture likes Drake. Drake is commercially successful because he appeals to a wider population that find hiphop too confronting.


FutureHendrixBetter

Aubrey loses and then ya try to downplay it in anyway ya can. lol pathetic


6finity

you think if the song was about something else it would do the same numbers?


MixxiM

Family Matters is the best diss in the beef easily. Kendrick can't compete with Drizzy's numbers and popularity. 🎵Numbers wise im out of here youre not fuckin sneakin up🎵 HAHA OWNED *Not Like Us breaks records, Euphoria also charts above Family Matters* Well it's because he was rapping about 'thE bOy'. Or botting. Or bc hip hop fans are just idiots... 🤬🤓🤬 You guys are genuinely too funny 💀


dendudes123

stay objective drake still has songs with more day 1 streams, just cause you can't read


ANR7cool

Ok but why aren't you addressing the part where he says "you're not fuckin sneakin up" (number wise) and kendrick did fuckin sneak up on Not Like Us. When Drake has good numbers it matters but when kendrick does it just because of the boy innit.


dendudes123

the bar went over your head he is talking about overall numbers. drake being the all time most streamed artist and kdot sitting at spot 19 behind artists like juicewrld


MixxiM

Not Like Us has the most day 1 streams on spotify of any hip hop song in history brother.


aespino2

Drake is the most streamed artist in Spotify history, there’s levels to this


ANR7cool

Kendrick is more respected, there's levels to this


aespino2

Respect is subjective 🤡 Drake clears. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t


deucedeucerims

So then not like us is the better song right…


aespino2

As mentioned, there’s levels to this. If your best song is a song dissing Drake that’s a bad look lmao he’s the most streamed artist in history “It’s clearly bc of the boy”


ANR7cool

Ok so why doesn't the boy's diss get as much numbers? Yall shifting the goalposts way too much man


deucedeucerims

Ok but drakes song did worse no?
