Kendrick Lamar Breaks This Diss Track Streaming Record With “Not Like Us”

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The beef that refused to die just keeps on making Kendrick Lamar and Drake more money, and they don’t even have to outright reference it for that narrative to create all the more interest in their music. For example, Drizzy’s new 100 GIGS drop recently placed him over Kendrick in Spotify monthly listening numbers, which K.Dot had dethroned him for due to the streaming success of cuts like “Euphoria,” “Like That”… and, of course, “Not Like Us.” The Toronto superstar has a massive fanbase that was going to eat his stuff up either way, but the battle has more casual fans as well as ardent haters hanging onto every word more so than usual.

As for Kendrick Lamar, his numbers have always been great, but they’ve never been as much of a direct and disrespectful challenge until the aforementioned West Coast banger dropped. Now, a song that makes its PDF-file allegations crystal clear and clowns Drake for being a conniving colonizer that should go fetch Gatorade for the real players is making almost as many numbers as either artist’s most accessible and widely palatable material. In fact, “Not Like Us” recently surpassed Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” as the most streamed diss track of all time; while only the Spotify numbers show up here, they most likely indicate activity across all major platforms.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Is The Most Streamed Diss Track Of All Time

Not only that, but it will likely rival some of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s biggest hits numbers-wise when it’s all said and done. It’s also ironic but oddly fitting that “Not Like Us” surpassed a Tupac classic as the most streamed diss track of all time. After all, ‘Pac played a more integral role in this battle than many might have expected at its onset thanks to A.I. vocal manipulations, lyrical references, and arguments over The Boy’s purchase of his ring.

Meanwhile, there are still some people out there who were saddened by this whole battle, including the legendary André 3000. Maybe they would rather live in a world in which cuts like “Tuscan Leather” or “The Art Of Peer Pressure” get the frenzied streaming love that “Push Ups” and “Not Like Us” have. But we can’t deny the sheer quality of these battle tracks, and neither can a lot of fans out there. So whether you’re a Drake fan who refused to like the song to begin with or a Kendrick Lamar fan who’s already tired of it… it looks like you’re going to have to step this way and then step that way for a while longer.

Lil Pump Will Perform Kamala Harris Diss Track At The Next Trump Rally

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Pump is not letting up. The rapper who once went viral for being about, well, nothing, has become a political pundit. If you hear his name at all these days, it’s because he has made a withering comment about the Democratic Party. Lil Pump has been a supporter of Donald Trump for years, but his anger towards Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, is relatively new. The Floridian has decided to diss Harris repeatedly on Twitter. According to his latest post, though, he plans to take his aggressive political stance into the studio.

On August 8, Lil Pump made a few bold claims. One, he claimed to be performing at the next Donald Trump campaign rally. Two, he claimed to have a diss track ready, and it’s aimed at Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. That’s right. Biden may have decided not to seek reelection, but he’s unable to avoid Pump when it comes to bars. “I will be performing the Joe Biden Kamal [sic] Harris diss track at the next Trump rally,” he tweeted. A few hours later, Lil Pump doubled down on his stance by adding: “Pump for Trump.” The latter phrase is questionable at best, but we are talking about a rapper who was called “Little Pimp” the first time he attended a Trump rally.

Lil Pump Plans To Diss Kamala Harris And Joe Biden

Claiming to have a Kamala Harris and Joe Biden diss track in the stash is not the boldest thing Lil Pump has said this week. The distinction of “boldest political statement” goes to an earlier social media post. The rapper claimed he’d leave the United States if Kamala Harris wins the election. “I swear on my dad’s grave,” Lil Pump noted. “If this stupid a*s b*tch Kamala Harris wins the f*cking election. I’m moving out of America, boy. I swear on everything.” Pump’s hatred for Harris is superseded only his adoration of the Donald. Despite being clalled the wrong name in 2020, the rapper has remained a loyal supporter.

Lil Pump could not have been more excited to sing the praises of Trump during a Florida campaign rally. “I came here to say, Mr. President, I appreciate everything you’ve done for our country,” he said. “You brought the troops home and you’re doing the right thing. MAGA 20, 20, 20. Don’t forget that! Don’t forget that. And do not vote for Sleepy Joe at all.” Things didn’t go the way Lil Pump wanted, but he remains steadfast. Let’s see if his supposed Biden-Harris diss ever sees the light of day.

Andre 3000 Claims He Has Several Diss Tracks That He’s Never Released

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Andre 3000 is one of the best rappers of all time. It’s close to being an objective truth. You’d be hard pressed to find a hip-hop fan who dismissed Andre’s bars, or doubted his abilities on the mic. He’s so good in fact, that he’s never been directly challenged by another rapper. Andre 3000 has been rapping since 1994, and not one other person has dared to call him out directly or attempt to battle him. We can (and have) chalked this up to Stack’s peaceful approach, but a recent interview complicates this take. It seems like the rapper has, in fact, penned a few diss tracks.

Andre 3000 let the cat out of the bag during a recent interview with Crack Magazine. The rapper gave his take on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, which led to reflect on his own feelings towards dissing others. Apparently, Stacks is all for it. Up to a point, that is. He told the magazine that he’s written lots of diss songs throughout his career. “You have feelings,” he explained. “If n**gas say some slick sh*t, lines will come to your head immediately.” Andre 3000 draws the line, however, at releasing said disses. He’s all for working out his pen for the sake of “exercise,” but doesn’t support the notion of putting negative energy out into the world.

Andre 3000 Considers Writing Disses Good “Exercise”

The concept of an Andre 3000 diss is fascinating, and something that Dungeon Family member Kawan Prather talked about in 2017. He told HipHopDX that he would actually like to see someone challenge the rapper, just to see what it would inspire. “I wish somebody would diss him so we can really actually see it,” Prather stated. “No one’s ever had the audacity to do it.” The former A&R pointed to Andre 3000’s verse on the Outkast song “The Whole World” as proof. “[It’s] an invitation for somebody to diss him. Listen to that verse: ‘I wish you would.’”

To be fair to Andre 3000, “The Whole World” dropped in 2001. It’s likely he doesn’t feel as combative as he did two decades ago. Ironically, one of the few times the rapper talked about a tense interaction with an artist was when he met his idol, Prince. He recalls Prince talking about the song “Hey Ya,” and claimed to be unsure if the singer actually enjoyed it. “I didn’t know how to take it,” Andre said on the Questlove Supreme podcast. “If he was taking a dig at me or what… I didn’t know how to take it; this is my hero.”

21 Savage Seemingly Disses Kendrick Lamar On Drake’s “It’s Up”

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans think 21 Savage dissed Kendrick Lamar with his appearance on Drake’s new song, “It’s Up.” The Toronto rapper shared the track online on Tuesday, along with two other singles and plenty of other content. All-in-all, he dropped 100 gigabytes of material for fans to peruse through. “Made a couple songs think he hot now / Hit his ass up think he pac now,” 21 raps on his verse. He’s featured on the song alongside Young Thug.

Fans had plenty of mixed responses to 21’s decision to join in on the feud on social media. “Picking sides through sneak dissing instead of publicly defending his boy mfers are scared to say candy man’s name,” one user theorized on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “21 Savage really shouldn’t be coming at Kendrick bc he’s one of the worst new-gen rappers and all his verses sound the same.” Others argued 21 didn’t intend to come at Lamar. “I doubt it it’s probably an old song considering there’s a thug feat,” one fan noted.

21’s possible diss comes after Drake’s viral feud with Kendrick Lamar which saw him release several diss tracks aimed at the Compton rapper including “The Heart Part 6,” “Family Matters,” and “Push Ups.” Many fans felt Lamar took home the victory after dropping the hit song, “Not Like Us,” and hosting The Pop Out – Ken & Friends in Los Angeles.

B.G. Comes For Turk’s Neck On Diss Track “HANDS UP”

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Things between New Orleans, Louisiana rap group Hot Boys are weird, to say the least. Since their “reunion” at the Essence Festival a few months back, B.G. and Turk specifically are seemingly the ones with the most issues. Lil Wayne’s name can also be thrown in the mix too, so overall, there’s just a lot wrong. But back to B.G. and Turk. The former has had it out for the latter ever since he cited “business” issues being his reasoning for not attending. This set off B.G. big time, eventually leading to rant that still leaves a lot up to interpretation of what is exactly going on. “”It’s only one n**** ain’t in this b****, you heard me? He brought that on his self, you heard me? N**** did a bunch of h*e s*** and can’t take it back. He gotta fault his self for not being here”, B.G. said passionately. “The n**** know what he did last summer. And I’ma just leave it like that”.

Turk would go on to respond to that callout, starting a back-and-forth disagreement. Now, B.G. is taking things to booth today, as he drops “HANDS UP”. On the YouTube exclusive song, he essentially recites some of those same quotables above in addition to saying Turk should have never been a part of Hot Boys. The latter alludes to another previous video in which B.G. said that no one would miss Turk if he never rejoined the group. He ends of the song with some lines about how on real dudes should put their hands up. It will be interesting to see if Turk responds, especially given his previous statements. So, be sure to stick around with us for any updates.

Cardi B’s Tia Kemp-Inspired Offset Diss Track Exposed As AI Fabrication

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B just dropped some major bombshells online, as news broke that she’s expecting a third child and that she filed for divorce from Offset. However, all this new info has also understandably resulted in a whole lot of misinformation, including a supposed diss track from her against the former Migo titled “Tia Kemp.” This is in reference to Rick Ross’ ex, who has a pretty nasty relationship with him online right now that continues to become even more contentious. Still, the Bardi Gang quickly figured out that this viral track is just a cheap A.I. attempt to fabricate a track centered around the divorce.

Furthermore, a lot of fans expressed surprise at the news of the divorce, but those select few probably weren’t very up to date with Cardi B and Offset. It’s been no secret that the two faced some bumps in the road as of late, especially in the public eye when it comes to cheating allegations against the Georgia rapper. But that being said, we don’t really know if these accusations were what caused the reported split, as other reports suggest that they reached an amicable agreement. Still, the Bronx femcee supposedly wants full custody of their two children, and other details about the split are unknown.

Elsewhere, here’s what Cardi B had to say about her pregnancy. “With every ending comes a new beginning!” she wrote in an Instagram post showing off her baby bump and presumably addressing the Offset divorce as well. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”

“I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!” Cardi B concluded. “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Yungeen Ace Swears To DJ Akademiks That He Won’t Diss Foolio

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like getting a solid read on Yungeen Ace’s relationship with the now late rapper Foolio will never happen. No matter what positivity he shows toward his counterpart, Chicago-born MC is always going to have some eyebrows raised. For example, just about a week ago, the now Jacksonville native hopped on an Instagram Live session with his followers in which people were asking him about Foolio. Ace pointed out sad and tragic his passing was, as well as how they were supposedly cooler with each other behind closed doors. This led fans to make numerous comparisons to how King Von was when FBG Duck was murdered. It’s worth mentioning that the alleged killer of Foolio was accusing Yungeen Ace as the one who put the hit on him.

However, he has not been charged in any capacity. But going back to the IG Live clip, DJ Akademiks reposted it to his account. Assumedly, Ace and the hip-hop sleuth had some conversations because a recent interview between them has just come out. Of course, Foolio was the main topic of discussion and during their chat. Throughout their sit-down, the “Ready To Die” MC continued to say more positive things about him.

Yungeen Ace Doesn’t Disrespect The Dead

In the clip above, Akademiks asks him if he’s going to continue to diss Foolio, to which he vowed, “No… can’t be doing that bout the dead”. Ace then went onto say how he used to listen to his music “back in the day” after Ak called him out for originally saying he didn’t. He even pointed out how Ace and Foolio used to be friends. But he shut that down, saying they weren’t really that tight, but that he did try to play some one-on-one basketball in Los Angeles. However, he claims Foolio turned down the offer. Overall, Ace was pretty all over the place, which seems to further highlight their checkered past.

What are your thoughts on Yungeen Ace telling DJ Akademiks he won’t be dissing Foolio after his passing? Do you trust him, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Yungeen Ace and Foolio.

Foolio’s Loved Ones Dance To Yungeen Ace Diss Track At His Funeral

July 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Julio Foolio tragically passed away at the age of 26, following a shooting at his birthday party. As fans and peers mourn the unexpected loss, many have become confused, as his Instagram account has been more active than ever. Aside from posting promotional videos, it’s shared posts about voodoo, compared the late rapper to a “demi-God,” and more.

It remains unclear who’s running the account, though some speculate that it’s been hacked. The account shared a Story post yesterday featuring footage from Foolio’s funeral, which was hosted in Jacksonville late last week. It shows his friends and family dancing and singing along to “When I See You,” the performer’s infamous Yungeen Ace diss track.

Foolio’s Instagram Account Suggests Funeral Was A Music Video Shoot

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

On the track, he raps about Yungeen Ace’s brother and two affiliates getting murdered after a birthday party in 2018. Social media users point out that it’s an odd song choice for a funeral, particularly considering the circumstances that led up to Foolio’s own passing. The account didn’t stop there, however. It went on to suggest that the funeral was actually a music video shoot. “Funeral?? Or the best music video coming soon,” it wrote.

The account also shared an Instagram Story captioned “I’m still standing!!!!” and “When the time is right the truth will come out.” Of course, this has only fueled rumors that he faked his death, which are completely unconfirmed. Either way, the posts have fans calling out whoever’s behind the late artist’s account, and urging them to put things to rest. What do you think of Foolio’s family and friends vibing to his Yungeen Ace diss track at his funeral? What about the late rapper’s IG account suggesting that the funeral was actually a music video shoot? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Emphatically Dances To Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Giannis Antetokounmpo was spotted passionately vibing to Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us,” while preparing for a game with Greece for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. In the viral video, he aggressively punches the air along to Lamar rapping, “Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop,” before nodding his head in enjoyment.

When The Art of Dialogue shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), fans made plenty of jokes. “Giannis was also a bot who was streaming Not Like Us on spotify” one user joked, referencing the accusations that Lamar used bots to boost the popularity of the track. Another remarked: “Europe always gets American hits 2 months later.”

“Not Like Us” has quickly become one of the biggest hits from Lamar’s career. He performed the track several times over to conclude his recent concert, The Pop Out – Ken & Friends, in Los Angeles. Afterward, he also took to the streets of his hometown to film a music video for the single. He’s yet to confirm a release date for that project. Drake, on the other hand, has been trolling Lamar on social media in recent weeks, but hasn’t put out any new diss tracks since “The Heart Part 6.” Check out the clip of Antetokounmpo enjoying “Not Like Us” below.
