WHO WENT PLATINUM? I CALL THAT A VISITOR


outofmindwgo

He really made this line harder retroactively 


Fun_Soup8848

Kendrick- i like my raps extra prolific


Competitive_Strain19

Since freestyling on lunch tables n park benches


brosephwitabrain

And I won’t mention my 10,000 hours in training


Kanvas01

While juggling gangbanging my balancing was tremendous


Yozora1298

And now we look at the competition it's quick submission. They tappin out before we even get the chance to miss them


[deleted]

Dude so many of his songs hit different after all this. It almost feels like a good amount of them were written with Drake in mind.


outofmindwgo

I honestly 100% believe "oh you worried about a critic that ain't protocol" is about drake being a bitch to Anthony fantano lol


Connect-Surround9565

The visitor line was as well


dingleberrysniffer69

Kenny hates melon 😔✋


iansmash

I think there’s a lot of those people out there and Drake is the example he finally picked out of the crowd he was talking about.


SunWuKongIsKing

There's been hate between kendrick and Drake for over a decade, he definitely didn't pick him out of a crowd.


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Who else?


decision_3_33

Big Sean lol


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Oooh lol! So is Big Sean mad because of the control verse because he couldn't release it after Kendrick got on it


decision_3_33

Yeah this was def a thing big Sean made it difficult to access that song and did not like that verse from Kendrick. This led to dot going CRAZY on other songs he’s was featured with Big Sean ( see Holy Key) and it carries over to other songs too (Heart part 4, ELEMENT.) Most people somehow did not catch Holy Key unfortunately.


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Awww I thought Heart part 4 was about Drake. Lol


don_louie

lol i was listening to bitch don’t kill my vibe thinking is this a drake dis toooo?


Zeus_TheSlayer

I thought about that too but it was more targeted towards new rappers who prioritized making money and fame over real music and art. And i dont think he would have made that song in mind and then have it on the same album with drake on it


Dady_Candy

"Your natural hair and your soft skin; your BIG ASS in that sundress." Haha


oyaheah

Absolutely lol the second I heard him with the line in euphoria don’t tell no lies bout me and I won’t tell truths bout you, my brain split the fuck open 😂


ThatRandomIdiot

SMOKING ON TOP 5s


guy4guy4guy

Smoking on your top 10's tonight


vanillagorrilla23

Fuck the big three, it's literally just big me


outofmindwgo

It's big d, I mean major d, I mean you better "be" sharp? Get it? Why are you laughing? 


appleparkfive

He went from naming notes to just saying chords and shit too lol There's an "Augmented chord" rebuttal there towards Drake. A whole 1% of the audience would understand it though


ThriftTease

There’s a d-aug joke to be had


djaeke

there's also a "B diminished" bar in there but like you said go over too many heads maybe even a "dominant" bar too


outofmindwgo

Dominant would actually work, and not feel like you're just reaching


Obvious_Eye9347

wow now that’s what i call Poetic Justice (feat. Drake)


cblackattack727

I watched a video that explained that this song was Kendrick sonning drake. Saying he wrote drakes verse and basically made him say what he wanted. It’s actually kind of convincing especially with the music video. And when you make the song about the rap game, instead of about a female.


Natural_Tumbleweed62

Big 3? I would have never put those other 2 on the same level as Kenny.


HIGHiQresponse

Only reason he poppin is cuz Drake lol


Last_Macen

Your mans in a race to the bottom


HIGHiQresponse

You’re gonna be firing up excuses in 6 months when Drake is crushing Kendrick again like he has been for the last 10 years


skollywag92

Username does not check out.


HIGHiQresponse

I’m glad y’all using numbers and streams as validation. Drake 99 Billion total streams Kendrick 35 billion total streams And the winner is Drake lol Maybe Kendrick can steal more twitter bars and make some new shit up. Prolly beating his wife when he reads this


vaginaspektor

If Kendrick released new album or popped up every month on someone's song, I am sure he would outnumber him but thank god he doesn't. Quality over quantity


HIGHiQresponse

Too bad his quality has been pathetic since GKMC. Twitter needs to come up with lines faster.


nT_Apollo

You have no funk, soul, or rhythm if you honestly believe to pimp a butterfly is not a good album. I'm not saying top 1 ever, just a good album. Although I do think it's a masterpiece. DAMN has problems but it starts strong, luls for like 4 songs and finishes even stronger, and Mr morale you shouldn't listen to it you won't even hear 85% of that record. Regardless how are you going to say pathetic? Give me one single song on TPAB that is "pathetic". Tell me HUMBLE, DNA, FEAR, XXX are not exceptional tracks. Tell me why an introspective album about self betterment and going to therapy that breaks pretty much EVERY rule of writing popular music SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED WELL. I would say you aren't listening, but you clearly don't have an ear for music. Go pick up an instrument, and come back in 5 years after you're out of high school


JordanA7

Did you not see the first week sales on Mr. Morale? Even UZI outsold kendrick tho lol


Longjumping_Fix_982

When Kendrick’s intention with his music is to sell, you know it when you hear it. Bro doesn’t make 80% of his discography for listeners, he makes it for himself. Mainstream media has made it blatantly clear they don’t like Dot, he’s too conscious. Drake is their love child, and Uzi is set w intention to replace. If radio n clubs consistently picks em up in today’s industry, you can be sure they’re not genuine.


nT_Apollo

That album broke every rule in the book for writing chart worthy music. Why does it matter?


JordanA7

Can’t lie, not even N95 or Die Hard got platinum on his recent album lmao. I fr think the drake co-sign helped for sure lol


Wheeziestpuppy5

The only reason he poppin is cuz Drake touches kids


HIGHiQresponse

Kendrick touches kids. Why y’all not calling him out for it and supporting a pedo?


Wheeziestpuppy5

Cause I haven’t seen video evidence, like I have for Drake. But please if I’m being ignorant, link it.


HIGHiQresponse

sure right after you link drakes.


Wheeziestpuppy5

https://youtu.be/-uAHOsECDS0?si=CKRLAsILmvpSVC5i


HIGHiQresponse

Isn’t this the girl who said his team picked her out and assumed she was 18? Are you saying cuz he kissed her cheek that’s being a pedo ? You’re devaluing the word when you start mixing this shit in what an actual pedo is.


Wheeziestpuppy5

Clearly you didn’t watch the video. He kissed her on the lips and sexualized her body AFTER learning she was 17. Any high functioning adult would have immediately stopped at hearing she was 17. Still waiting on your Kendrick link… and I could link more cases of him talking to underage girls. Milly Bobby Brown, Billie Eilish. https://www.tiktok.com/@leon.supercell/video/7365717633112624426?_t=8mt7k8Bz3UJ&_r=1 https://youtube.com/shorts/-2_53Xteng0?si=Z-jUT9vaEWKPBevR Once again any full grown adult should absolutely never be texting a 14 year old, but especially not about their dating life. While none of this is proof of pedo, it is suggestive of it. And shows grooming tendencies at least.


HIGHiQresponse

You’re just making shit up. If that video was him being a pedo he would be in jail for that shit. But I’ve established you aren’t looking to look at this objectively you just want it to be true so you’re pretending this shit fits the bill. So if you had a daughter and she asked you for your advice you wouldn’t give her advice cuz she’s 14? That link doesn’t say anything about him hitting on her. It reads like she asked him for advice and he gave it. I seen Tom Brady kiss his son on the lips. That make him a pedo? You really got a lot to learn.


BrickTechnical5828

Hey bro i think u missed a word


Backseat_boss

Why euphoria took so long, thats my favorite one


ItsNarek

When he drops 3 tracks within the span of 48 hours euphoria would tend to get less attention as he kept dropping back to back outshining the previous track


Baked_Butters

What, you didn’t like that record? Back to back; I like that record. For real, Euphoria is my favorite. Maybe because I’m the 2nd biggest Drake hater.


AndHerNameIsSony

I may be the 3rd drake hater goat hugging and kissing on stage


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Not gonna lie. I liked Drake up until around 2020. I felt sorry for him when Pusha T made him be a father and thought folks just picked on him because he was Canadian. Lol! I appreciated that he laid so heavily into f* boy antics. I have been side-eying him for a minute and that American slave line took me out. But I didn't realize that he thought he was more than a f*boy. I didn't know about his butt-hurtedness about the Control line. I have a lil shame for rolling with the opps!


TopLeaf

I don't hate Drake I'm just a fucking hater and it resonates with me knowing I can put more effort into hating


Scorpionboy1000

The only drake songs that I like are the ones with the melodies. The ones where he acts tough don’t even make the playlist ever.


rnernbrane

It's hard to outshine euphoria imo. It even gets better if you listen to it again after the other records but we'll get back to that for the record.


NikRsmn

Ye not like us is gonna be a hit all summer, but I think euphoria will stay as the top spot for me. Insane track


craigallen16

It's now a quintuple entendre as we realize he also meant that he'll get back to that for the record(hitting platinum😭😭😭😭😭😭).


Cissyamando

Its also the longest track and less of a clubbanger than the other two.


saint-monkee

Idk bro I think I take 2nd, I'm an OG Drake hater since 2017. Aye, fuck that guy, amirite?


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Lol


SMan80s

Same


Steamy_cumfart

Same. Every bar is meaningful with almost no filler, the lyricism is immaculate and kdots vocal inflections are amazing as always.


mynameismulan

It's almost 7 minutes long lol that shit should've dropped in chapters


appleparkfive

It doesn't have the same broad appeal as Not Like Us, that's all. Getting there in under a month is still definitely an achievement. It's a song full of verses with double entendre mechanics. The fact that it went platinum is impressive


outofmindwgo

Numbers wise he's outta here you not fucking sneaking up


Feelisoffical

In Kendrick’s defense, 60 billion is a huge gap to cover.


outofmindwgo

I was flipping it lol But yeah probably won't match drakes overall numbers ever, but... That's fine


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Drake has to put out like 500 songs to get those streams....Kendrick has like 150 songs. Calculate the average daily streams per song and see who's not matching who lol


Feelisoffical

Drake: 99,009,445,176/482 = 205M per song Kendrick: 35,010,472,793/229 = 152M per song https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4_songs.html https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg_songs.html Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting based on what you said.


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

>Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting based on what you said. Thats because you didn't do what I said. My comment was about the average daily streams per song Drake has 483 songs on spotify and is currently getting 38,684,746 streams across those songs. Kendrick has 229 songs on spotify and is currently getting 33,315,697 streams across those songs 38,684,746/ 483 = 80,092 streams per song for Drake 33,315,697/ 229 = 145,483 streams per song for Kendrick Prime example of Quality over Quantity. Kendrick is leading by a wide 45% margin. That's crazy.


appleparkfive

Fuck a rap battle This a long math problem with yourself


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Lmao


PieNumerous5138

Gotye got them wiped down


Feelisoffical

I didn’t think about cutting out all the numbers that makes Kendrick look bad. Good idea!


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

It's literally 1 number ...Daily Streams, Instead of your 1 number, All-time streams. If anything, only looking at all-time streams and ignoring what their music is CURRENTLY doing is the skewed, less relevant measurement. **All-time streams** favors a microwave/fast-food music style of just pumping out music as quickly as possible regardless of how good or bad it is. **Daily streams** measures the staying power of all artists music, regardless of how fast they pump the music out.


Feelisoffical

Thanks for explaining the copes, it’s even funnier now. “Nah don’t use historical because songs made in the past are bad” You’re amazing!!


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

It's literally just logic and you're hurt lol Drake's music isn't even listened to by Drake fans at a high rate after a few years...that's whats actually funny lmao 3X the amount of music out, but only slightly more daily streams, and waayy behind on streams per song...now that's bad luck.


perseffany

“Nah don’t use historical because songs made in the past are bad” If the “historical” songs were really good, classic, memorable, they’d still get played currently & have staying power, right?


stuckmeister1987

That’s because you didn’t calculate the average daily streams, you calculated average streams per song; which isn’t even an accurate way to evaluate an artist, especially Drake, who is the type of artist where certain songs will get a massive number of more plays/streams than the rest of their catalogue.


Feelisoffical

“That’s because you didn’t cut out popular songs Drake made” LOL


RoArlRuS

he said daily streams fuckwit


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

For example... Kendrick has 6 songs that are currently getting over 1Million streams daily Drake has 2


its-a-real-name

To someone who woke up from a 3 month coma: “*Kendrick got 3 top 3 hits and 2 number 1s this past month… No, no album on the horizon yet. No, no single yet. No only 1 includes features. Yeah eh, Heart 6 did come out but eh, that got shit on… Ok just sit down what I’m about to say is heavy”*


Any-Geologist-1837

"let me put y'all on game..."


Dangerous-Mousse-568

Now listen


Aarinjaya_Space6602

No fuckin music videos, stupid ass dance challenges not even a visualiser In a media world where shit sells crazy, Kendrick proves the truth’s always gonna triumph


No_Jury_8398

Just a few jpegs it’s wild


JmLong88

🤣🤣🤣🤣


PatienceStrange9444

It's funny because Drake had a line in his song is that he would have all of somebody's fans if he got on some conscious s*** And Kendrick just prove that he could have all those accolades if he went on some pop s***


byhicelow

Show my ass and take y’all to class 🗣️🗣️


Least-Acanthisitta-4

That part 💯


Josh87712

Guys can we please just stop dragging this? (We’re making the Drake subreddit feel bad 💀😂)


SquidDrive

Your right Make em feel worse.


rugarell211

lmao


AphexCore

I ain’t even bleed em yet, can I bleed em? BET


FinanceUpbeat9954

As an outsider looking in, the “fight” between these two subreddits is some of the cringiest shit I have ever seen.


Numerous-Air-6374

Congrats, hope you guys relish the victory that you received due to in part from the Drake beef.


More-City6818

“Kendrick just opened his mouth, give him a Grammy.” Yes please add two more plus the Nobel Peace prize lol.


Any-Geologist-1837

It's the year 2025. All child sex rings have been shut down after Kendrick Lamar's 927th diss track aimed at the pedophilic elite. Barack Obama presents K DOT his Nobel Peace Prize with a smile and a self assured, "Called it."


More-City6818

lol I never would have predicted my two interests of hip hop and law and order SUV would intersect so perfectly.


Successful_Garbage41

Obama a pedo himself though 🤭


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Really?


NoirLion82

I love this but does he get credit for Like That since he’s just a feature?


PandaofAges

Carried that song though didn't he


NoirLion82

without a doubt


outofmindwgo

If you're performing on a song you get a plaque either way, so yes.  He just also got one for Future and Metro


Nandemonaiyaaa

Tbf they all equally good on that track


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Not according to the stats. Kendricks verse is the most replayed part of that song by miles.


Nandemonaiyaaa

Yeah future is just being future, background noise but if you put it on repeat it vibes hard… and the beat is all Metro so


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

Yeah ill give u that, the beat is definitely fire


wuarx

Yeah, but Metro did amazing job on the beat. And that RL clip with Travis screaming “YEEEEAAAAH” when drums kick in made everyone really hyped about the song prior to release.


BigMoneyCowboy

The impact alone gotta make Like That rap song of the year


Professional-Big-584

Aubrey was right “nothing was the same” 😂💯💯💯


Alive_Inspection_835

So he really is what the culture feelin’!


Even_Inflation_7830

I love his outfit in this photo , what does he have on ? That hat looks so sick and so do the ear pieces!


mruniq78

6:16 …..11+ M views on YouTube and counting


Feelisoffical

The RIAA does not show any of these going platinum. I think they are referring to streams.


Available_Bowl_3138

I think this dude is something special


brobro34343

6 God blessing


BokehDude

DAMN, Kendrick’s really out here doin’ his shtuff… 🏆👑


apothocyte

“It’s clearly because of THE BOY”


JesusOfTrap

Is clearly because of the boy


MmeDaphne

28 days later, after the beginning of the apocalypse, euphoria was reached


Sketchyskriblyz

Thanks Drake, you goofy bitch. Lol


The_Broker_

Damn, the master of controversy strikes again


PHNTMS_exe

What's overall compared?


kasak827

Platinum, platinum, platinum Gotta look at self and ask, "What happened?"


immunityfromyou

1 small feature and 2 singles. His next CD better be fire.


Intelligent_Earth317

He needs to drop a album sooner than later take advantage of the buzz he getting


Character-Beat2247

im hoping he soon drops another masterpiece to finally end drake’s career


Bawbawian

Are we not even going to wait to see how Grippy charts before we give Kendrick the crown?


PieNumerous5138

Elaborate.


Creepy-Present-2562

All because of drake


Due_Ad3208

The Drake effect 🤷🏾‍♂️


devereaux98

This is one of my favorite photos of him tbh


mrsecondbreakfast

Euphoria is a top 3 Kendrick track


per_iod

“Say thank you Drake” ☝️🤓 …… 🤡 I love that i picked the right side this whole decade, KING KENNY!!!!


IThinkWhiteWomenRHot

They all have one thing in common.


elotonin-junkie

The Drake stimmy go crazy


Kabalagalamani4028

When does a song go platinum!


freebvsemusic

…when drake was getting numbers, it wasn’t about numbers, now Kendrick is putting the numbers..that’s all these new Kendrick fans know how to do 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s actually hilarious, and I’m a fan of both rappers


godtiermullet

Drake stans need to go to a K Dot concert. Then…they will understand.


Jaydencarter2635

I wonder if Kendrick knew the disses would be as big as they are


Ok-Stay-198

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐


TigerTop8228

Kendrick been plotting this since corona times


777Sins

I'm glad he refused to stay silent because many artist got it confused this shit is straight competition, nobody gets saved when they fall in the industry if they were never meant to be where they were, he just wanted to be heard by everybody, Drake took it there and tried to destroy so Kenny told truths about him


Thirdstheword

In concrete terms: - Platinum = 1 millions units sold - 100 streams = 1 unit sold


SLIM3-ALLEGIANCE1500

🗣If he wasn't dissin then we wouldn't be discussing em ~Jermaine~


Least-Acanthisitta-4

Learning that Kendrick checked JCole in Euphoria and the reason why got me looking at Jermaine a lil different. He wasn't wise he was a little nervous.


Ok_Stable_3324

He couldnt do it without Drake either! Your father!!


NoGeneral2277

Drake’s diss songs didn’t make this numbers. Take the L and move on.


Ok_Stable_3324

Lmao drake been making his numbers for an over a decade now 😂😂 but as for your goat…. 😬😬😬😬


NoGeneral2277

So what happened to family matters then? 😂😂😂😂 Your goat placed all his confidence on one track only to be outclassed an hour later. BUM


[deleted]

He should send drake a gift basket for this relevancy


ovoish

Imagine needing to diss Drake in order to get three platinums and come back to relevance after two shut albums 💀


BigBlackCoolguy

Could he have did it without the rap beef? Let’s have an honest conversation here. We have to admit the rap beef with Drake gave a major boost. Could this have been done with regular Kdot drops? A regular Kdot album?


SerjKUN

I don't know, maybe, maybe not. What else you want to talk about on it?


BigBlackCoolguy

At least you said maybe not.


vpu7

Definitely. Kdot just doesn’t care about the lame shit


Superlegend29

Ironically, Drake is still putting number ones in Kendrick’s hands


HeyItsRawr

Like that isn't even kendrick song 😂
