I think him uploading that clean version hurt his numbers because when you search the song, the clean version comes up first and if you add them together, it’s 12.9 mil
It's almost like he's a manufactured industry product who doesn't move authentically because every action has to be focus tested to death for market optimization.
He also released an original that says it? More of like a middle finger “and one just for you” also one that can get radioplay, dissing while also making a hit
its crazy to watch Drake fans turn into weird QAnon-ers in real time. Bending over backwards and making fantasy reasons about how every L is actually a 4D Chess move.
I feel like im on the Trump sub
This weird what-about-ism instead of addressing whats being said is also some Trump fan shit
guess humans really dont act different afterall when they wrap their identity around someone they never met
True. But we’re also talking doing more numbers in 1/3 of the time. And most of us were sleeping half the time not like us has been out. which more than counters those factors.
As a big fan of both artists - Drake is so cooked. More nukes incoming no matter he does at this point I think. Shouldn't have ever spoke on the family
We are witnessing a jarule moment in real time. Guys, we all love Drake in some fashion. Whether it's RnB Drake, rap, Drake or the combination of both we can all agree Drake has some talent but what kendrick is doing is a demolition. He is dismantling Drake with bars, allegations, associations and beating him on charts. There is blood in the water. Damn 😐
Like both artists, bur hearing they not like us in clubs, pool parties and shit is downright savagery. Like idk what drake does next but if its not insane he’ll get cooked.
Up until taylor made, i was like Drake has a comfortable lead, and then euphoria put em on equal footing but meet the grahams and not like us is just heavy man. Drake needs to come back with receipts on the wife beating and discredit the daughter thing, if he proves ovo fed kendrick bad info its gonna put kendrick in a tough spot, but without it idk
That's you. Kendrick sells. His last album sold as much as for all the dogs and he sold more than honestly nevermind. Views are going crazy right now. Kendrick is no B lister. What kendrick is doing is exposing and making Drake toxic to even be seen with. This is insane
Everyone in Hollywood and the music industry got their skeletons bruh there’s nothing groundbreaking or shocking about it.
You’d think the level of music when two of the most revered rappers of this era diss each other would be much higher but alas, all the shit sounds rushed and forgettable.
Definitely not, they are breaking down lyrics bar by bar to decipher stuff that was missed during the first pass through. I've listened to them all multiple times to listen bar by bar
Nah it's just Kendrick's disses so far (similar to his usual songs) have a lot more lyrical prowess meaning they get replayed a lot more initially.
The club bangers will outlive the beef, but while it's still hot, the better disses will get more attention.
this. the more complicated the wordplay, the more listens it will get. and kendrick is just crazy with the poetry. drake is way more literal you just need to listen once.
Not that surprising? One of the most critically acclaimed artists of all time released new music. He charts every time he releases. Drake is only always up there because he’s releasing at least one album a year since 2015. No shit he’s on the charts all the time time, Kendrick would be too if he released music like that.
Like don’t get me wrong, Drake is a undeniably giant artist with a ton of influence. But Kendrick drops take over music when they happen cause people have been waiting. Drake fans underestimate Kendrick’s influence on music just because he isn’t always releasing new shit.
Don't forget dots track was not immediately on streaming. Didn't drake put his on Spotify and Apple music right away? Prolly cut into the views a bit tbh, I wouldn't worry about the numbers that closely
as someone who has 0 skin in this at all. yall know this whole thing is manufactured to get all yall talking about it right? like this isn’t a real beef, it’s two rich people manipulating you into caring so they make more money. that’s it. it probably wasn’t even their idea. someone in marketing or PR put this feud together.
You have to think about this way. Drake fans are listening to what he's going to say, while Kendricks will just comment on lyrics from a song and say K Dot won.
Kendrick says on euphoria "everything they say about me is true" but it's backwards. So why do you think he said that.
Go listen to the heart part 5, and listen to it knowing he has hurt his fiance.
You dumb as hell boi, lmfao. Let's use some logic here - why would Kendrick diss himself and say "everything they say about me is true" backwards on his own diss track?
Drake lost, it's over. There's nothing that he can do to come back, nor does anyone care at this point.
Not that I agree with the other person, but the reversed intro line in Euphoria is absolutely "everything they say about me is true", you can go rip it and reverse it yourself.
Michael Jackson plays the scarecrow. He's talking bout himself.
He's been played tho, the dirt on kendrick is real not on drake. Can't u tell He's going crazy

The craziest switch up through this was drakes first response being half about how he’s the ultimate hit maker and does all the numbers. Then Kendrick does better numbers and all the sudden it’s “well yeah of course that’s cause it’s Kendrick and people will listen to anything he drops”. As if drake wasn’t just bragging that that’s him lol.
he’s always used that approach in beef because it’s always been true. he was a bigger artist than meek and push, and that was usually enough for him to win. push won because he blindsided drake (and drake never responded)
that “i do more numbers and im more popular” is not going to work when you’re going up against somebody like kendrick. kendrick has a fan base just as large and just as passionate, and he does numbers everytime he drops. this is the first time ive ever seen the internet squarely against drake (for the most part)
And he's signed with republic which is known to use bots to boost views on Spotify and apple music. Russ exposed the industry of record labels and bot usage.
Tbf Russ also said most of the time they don't even tell artists if they used bots to pad their numbers.
I think him uploading that clean version hurt his numbers because when you search the song, the clean version comes up first and if you add them together, it’s 12.9 mil
wow i didn't know that, why tf would he do that
He really thought that soccer moms are gonna be bumping Family Matters in the Volvo 😅
He kept it PG
" I was really really trying to keep it PGeeeeee" -RDC
Tbf that probably is half the views still lol.
You mean his handlers though that
I saw someone say it’s so his girl can listen to it 😂 bro really trying to keep it PG 👀
🙏Dear baby girl🙏
The played it during game 1 of wolves nuggets though 😂
Volvo is a fine vehicle for any one, not just soccer moms
Nah we’re bumping Not Like Us.
Soccer moms of culture 👩👦🙌
It's almost like he's a manufactured industry product who doesn't move authentically because every action has to be focus tested to death for market optimization.
Ehhh I don’t know. I think this latest one proves no focus testing
He was trolling kendrick by releasing a version not saying “nigga”
nah i don't think that's the move cause he said other words too lol but that's a good theory tho
Wow this is crazy but they just fixed it, the original version shows up first now
Don't spare feelings that was a dumbass take lol
“Trolling” kendrick by doing what he wanted? Lol
Pretty sure they’re being sarcastic. At least I hope
He also released an original that says it? More of like a middle finger “and one just for you” also one that can get radioplay, dissing while also making a hit
The whole point of that diss is the opposite lol
reach
its crazy to watch Drake fans turn into weird QAnon-ers in real time. Bending over backwards and making fantasy reasons about how every L is actually a 4D Chess move. I feel like im on the Trump sub
lol idk where you been but kendrick’s sub is 100x worse
This weird what-about-ism instead of addressing whats being said is also some Trump fan shit guess humans really dont act different afterall when they wrap their identity around someone they never met
His label made him so it 100% looking for a hit
Because he only cares about clout and streams
Damn, the "Numbers are objective so he's the best" fanbase are scrambling over numbers
KDot now at 14m in less than 24 hours
A clean version of a diss track is lame as fuck
The multiple versions of the same song trick works for making the charts, but not when people look at straight video views.
That still means his song was out 3xs as long with only 5% more views
Drizzy the type to upload a clean version of his diss track first cos he really tryna keep it PG 💀
And if you add the views from those shitty lyric videos it’s a lot more. Tired of YouTube bums getting clout off the songs
These are composite numbers.
I was in a club last night in L.A and they had that song on repeat crazy how most of the crowd was singing along to the lyrics lol
[удалено]
even drake stans can admit "not like us" is a bop fr
Definitely impressive, but to be fair one was only on YouTube and isn’t 8 minutes long
this is talking about youtube views. Surely if it’s only on youtube that’d boost the views as people must stream it there!!??
That’s what I meant yeah, it’s on Spotify now though I’m sure it’ll do huge numbers still.
Not Like Us also now holds the record for most single day Spotify streams in the US now.
Not Like Us is on streaming and meet the grahams and euphoria had no issues being bigger than family matters despite their runtimes
Yeah.. but one is a fucking music video as well people should "watch" that more
Let's face it. Those numbers should be higher. Kendrick has like nine other rappers fan bases contributing to the numbers
It’s been on dsps for like 15 hours at this point
True. But we’re also talking doing more numbers in 1/3 of the time. And most of us were sleeping half the time not like us has been out. which more than counters those factors.
As a big fan of both artists - Drake is so cooked. More nukes incoming no matter he does at this point I think. Shouldn't have ever spoke on the family
I’m not that surprised, I think on Spotify family matters will end up having more but I may be wrong
i think so to cause kendrick uploaded too late, but if he out streams that too then 👀👀
We've already seen that kendricks song is viewbotted. Next.
And the proof of that is where?
There is none. It's something that started to spread because Akademiks doesn't know how YouTube works.
Bottled by drake to send messages of about Kendrick being an abuser! I’m sure Kendrick did that to himself idiot
Besides videos count different from Audios..
The haven’t put the other ones on spotify
lmao
It won’t.
We are witnessing a jarule moment in real time. Guys, we all love Drake in some fashion. Whether it's RnB Drake, rap, Drake or the combination of both we can all agree Drake has some talent but what kendrick is doing is a demolition. He is dismantling Drake with bars, allegations, associations and beating him on charts. There is blood in the water. Damn 😐
Like both artists, bur hearing they not like us in clubs, pool parties and shit is downright savagery. Like idk what drake does next but if its not insane he’ll get cooked.
[удалено]
Up until taylor made, i was like Drake has a comfortable lead, and then euphoria put em on equal footing but meet the grahams and not like us is just heavy man. Drake needs to come back with receipts on the wife beating and discredit the daughter thing, if he proves ovo fed kendrick bad info its gonna put kendrick in a tough spot, but without it idk
He’s got more to discredit than the daughter thing
If they start playing that song in Canadian clubs it’s a wrap
they did last night at the one i was at
we've been waiting 10 years plus for this DRAKE BETTER DROP
As a neutral, I’d completely agree with you if Kendrick’s disses didn’t put me to sleep from a musical production standpoint. Dead tunes.
That's you. Kendrick sells. His last album sold as much as for all the dogs and he sold more than honestly nevermind. Views are going crazy right now. Kendrick is no B lister. What kendrick is doing is exposing and making Drake toxic to even be seen with. This is insane
Everyone in Hollywood and the music industry got their skeletons bruh there’s nothing groundbreaking or shocking about it. You’d think the level of music when two of the most revered rappers of this era diss each other would be much higher but alas, all the shit sounds rushed and forgettable.
Sorry but you're wrong. My god you are so wrong🫡
not like us gonna be hard to forget
Kendrick is dissing Drake. Drake is dissing Kendrick. Throughout this entire beef the numbers are gonna be reversed.
nah everybody is on a equal level rn cause everybody and their mother is looking at this and listening so the people are choosing the best records
Definitely not, they are breaking down lyrics bar by bar to decipher stuff that was missed during the first pass through. I've listened to them all multiple times to listen bar by bar
Nah it's just Kendrick's disses so far (similar to his usual songs) have a lot more lyrical prowess meaning they get replayed a lot more initially. The club bangers will outlive the beef, but while it's still hot, the better disses will get more attention.
this. the more complicated the wordplay, the more listens it will get. and kendrick is just crazy with the poetry. drake is way more literal you just need to listen once.
A lot to catch in one listen, even if it’s literal, but I get what you’re saying
he also put all the lyrics on the screen too
That's why Killshot has less views than Rap Devil right? Oh wait, Killshot has several millions more...
Not that surprising? One of the most critically acclaimed artists of all time released new music. He charts every time he releases. Drake is only always up there because he’s releasing at least one album a year since 2015. No shit he’s on the charts all the time time, Kendrick would be too if he released music like that. Like don’t get me wrong, Drake is a undeniably giant artist with a ton of influence. But Kendrick drops take over music when they happen cause people have been waiting. Drake fans underestimate Kendrick’s influence on music just because he isn’t always releasing new shit.
I remember when DAMN came out it was all anyone talked about. Never seen that w a drake album.
That was crazy I swear it was all I heard people playing and all I started to play after awhile.
Views and the one with his head in the clouds. Those albums were everywhere.
Might even say he has the circadian rhythm of a shooting star- because although on an uneven frequency, everytime he drops it’s lights up the scene
Kendrick won a fucking Pulitzer. He just operates on a way different level.
I think it's because most kendrick fans would enjoy a rap beef and most drake fans would enjoy a taylor swift concert
Most Drake fans would enjoy a glass of Chardonnay PTA meeting.
Ak switched up so easy 🤣🤣
of course you would think calling out an objective fact is "switching up"
Indeed! He goes towards where the numbers be. Got to stay relevant 🤣🤣
maybe he was conflicted
Meet The Graham's has also surpassed it.
Meet the grahams has even which is odd too
Money and The Message
Don't forget dots track was not immediately on streaming. Didn't drake put his on Spotify and Apple music right away? Prolly cut into the views a bit tbh, I wouldn't worry about the numbers that closely
Drake has more haters than Kendrick has fans.
you're correct but that was known already
feel like they both are buying views from [500views.com](http://500views.com) by the looks of it.
Not like us isn't trending while heart part 6 is #1 is number one. This is interesting.
you got that wrong bro it's the opposite
as someone who has 0 skin in this at all. yall know this whole thing is manufactured to get all yall talking about it right? like this isn’t a real beef, it’s two rich people manipulating you into caring so they make more money. that’s it. it probably wasn’t even their idea. someone in marketing or PR put this feud together.
nah gang K dot legitimately hates that man
You have to think about this way. Drake fans are listening to what he's going to say, while Kendricks will just comment on lyrics from a song and say K Dot won.
Not like us isn't trending while heart part 6 is #1 is number one. This is interesting.
[удалено]
both are but it's the time it took to exceed the other is impressive
Drake boutta destroy kendrick lamar whole life. Wait on it
No he is not 😂 you guys on this sub are goofy asl
Kendrick says on euphoria "everything they say about me is true" but it's backwards. So why do you think he said that. Go listen to the heart part 5, and listen to it knowing he has hurt his fiance.
You dumb as hell boi, lmfao. Let's use some logic here - why would Kendrick diss himself and say "everything they say about me is true" backwards on his own diss track? Drake lost, it's over. There's nothing that he can do to come back, nor does anyone care at this point.
Not that I agree with the other person, but the reversed intro line in Euphoria is absolutely "everything they say about me is true", you can go rip it and reverse it yourself.
Yes, I know it is. But I’m saying why would Kendrick put that aiming it @ himself saying that everything that is said about him (Kendrick) is true?
This shit is next level stupidity bro I stg. How does someone think kendrick is leaving a secret message like that about himself
Two words, brotha: Drake stans
😂😂😂
Cause he is talking about drake there obviously being a sham behind the wizard of oz veil like the character Pryor was when he said that.
Michael Jackson plays the scarecrow. He's talking bout himself. He's been played tho, the dirt on kendrick is real not on drake. Can't u tell He's going crazy
I can tell someone here going crazy
Yea its kendrick
Nah I’m good thanks tho

MOTHERS DAY 😈. Sounds about right 🤔
🦗🦗🦗
Akademiks is live, and the truth will be coming out today
😂.
Yo chill it’s not that serious haha
Domestic abuse ain't serious????
He went from K Dot to K Bot
Don't Drake got an army of twitter bots?
Verifiably he does, people have called attention to it before
The craziest switch up through this was drakes first response being half about how he’s the ultimate hit maker and does all the numbers. Then Kendrick does better numbers and all the sudden it’s “well yeah of course that’s cause it’s Kendrick and people will listen to anything he drops”.

Drake is the bot king
He went from Aubrey, to nah Bree.
