Kendrick Lamar’s Guest Verse Powers Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That” Another Commercial Milestone 2024

by

Last month, Future & Metro Boomin released their new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU. It’s the first of a pair of albums they promised this year with the second one due to drop tonight. The album sports a number of high-profile features from artists like Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, and Rick Ross. But the show-stealing moment came from Kendrick Lamar who appeared on “Like That” where he took shots at both Drake and J. Cole. The commercial success of both that song and the album itself has been staggering.

First, WE DON’T TRUST YOU debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album nabbed the biggest sales week of 2024 so far, though Beyonce took the record for herself just a week later. “Like That” itself also climbed to a number-one debut on the Hot 100. It stuck there for a second week even holding off Beyonce’s lead single “TEXAS HOLD EM.” The song is actually challenging for a third week at the number-one spot next week. Now the track has officially hit 1 million equivalent sales in just 18 days, the fastest song of 2024 to hit that milestone so far.

Kendrick Lamar’s Diss Track Is The Fastest Selling Song Of The Year

Earlier this week, Joe Budden teased a continuation of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef. He claimed that both rappers had been in the studio and even went as far as to describe what they both recorded as “nuclear.” He also speculated that the Drake response could drop as early as this week.

“Like That” became Kendrick’s first song to ever spend multiple weeks at number one on the Hot 100. He had previously hit the top spot twice with “Humble” and his Taylor Swift collaboration “Bad Blood.” What do you think of “Like That” becoming the fastest selling song of 2024? Do you think the song will spend a third week at the top spot on the Hot 100? Let us know in the comment section below.

When Will Drake Respond To Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Like That?’

Fans have been waiting for a response from Drake since Kendrick Lamar went scorched earth on his verse from Future’s Metro Boomin-produced song “Like That.” After K. Dot declared, “Motherf*ck the Big Three / It’s just big me,” plenty of hip-hop heads have looked forward to seeing how Drake approaches any potentional reply — especially since the last time he was in a full-tilt rap battle, things didn’t exactly go his way.

Increasing the anticipation was the fact that J. Cole beat Drake to the counterpunch, dropping his own response track, “7 Minute Drill,” last Friday. Unfortunately, J. Cole has since issued a retraction of his RSVP to this battle, citing his discomfort with going against someone he admires. Drake, on the other hand, has been compared to and contrasted with Kendrick Lamar ever since both began making noise on the blog circuit, so fan investment in his reply is higher than it’s ever been.

While Drake hasn’t made any overt announcements as yet, he’s hinted that he’s working on something, and now, Joe Budden has gotten involved (of course). The podcaster — who has long had his own friction with the Canadian superstar — suggested on his show that both rappers have recorded diss tracks and that they’ll release them sooner than later.

“Actually, I have it on good information that both sides went in the booth and came out,” he said. “What I’m hearin’ about both sides is that it’s nuclear. It’s up-up.” While it could just be another case of Budden blowing smoke (how’s that “girl rap wave is over” pronouncement working out, I wonder), his sources might be onto something since Drake and Kendrick have been at each others’ heads for so long.

Fans fully expect them to pick up where they left off with the first installment of their multi-release project, We Don’t Trust You, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and gave both artists their first non-Drake-featuring No. 1 hit song on the Hot 100 — although it was still technically about Drake, thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s declaration of menacing intent on “Like That.” Will they continue their admittedly vague assault on their frequent collaborator on the next album? We’ll find out soon.

Future and Metro Boomin Announces Two New Albums in 'We Don't Trust You' Trailer

Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar are running it back on top of the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like That.”

The WE DON’T TRUST YOU single held off Beyoncé’s resurgence up the chart with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which went from No. 11 to No. 2. Additional Beyoncé singles in the top 10 are “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus and “Jolene” at No. 7.

But back to “Like That.” The single garnered 46.1 million streams, experiencing a 23% decrease, along with 10.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, marking an 81% increase. The track also sold 6,000 copies, showing a decline of 29% from March 29 to April 4.

Maintaining its top position for a second consecutive week, the single remains at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart while slipping from 2nd to 8th place on the Digital Song Sales chart.”

The Weeknd Extends His Record For Annual Top 10 Hits

Last week, Future and Metro Boomin unleashed their highly anticipated new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU. After a full year of teasing the project was unsurprisingly a massive commercial success. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, scoring the biggest sales week of 2024 so far. It also debuted its entire tracklist on the Hot 100 including half of the Top 10. “Like That” with Kendrick Lamar stormed into the top spot while “Type Sh*t” with Playboi Carti and Travis Scott turned up at number two.

Debuting at number 9 on the charts was “Young Metro” which features The Weekend. The song is Abel’s 99th to land on the Hot 100, meaning his next entry will be his landmark 100th Hot 100 hit. But arguably even more impressive is the record it helped him extend. He has a top 10 hit on the Hot 100 every single year dating back to 2014, which is the longest active streak. It’s even more impressive that he’s kept that streak up without dropping a new album since Dawn FM hit back in 2022. Check out the full scope of his newest chart achievement below.

The Weekend Hits 11 Years Of Top 10 Hits

Last month, The Weeknd also appeared in the music video for “Young Metro.” Unsurprisingly given the success of the album, the video was also a smash hit. It’s racked up 5.4 million views in just 11 days since it first dropped. The video is also still in the top 20 of YouTube’s trending list for music despite how long it’s been out.

That video came just a month after The Weeknd released the music video for his song “Popular. “ The track features both Playboi Carti and Madonna and featured on The Idol series soundtrack. What do you think of The Weeknd having a top 10 hit every single year dating back to 2014? How long do you think his streak of top 10 hits will last? Let us know in the comment section below.

Last month, rapper Future and superstar producer Metro Boomin dropped their collaborative album, We Don’t Trust You. The album has had fans talking for weeks, as it featured a return to the sounds that launched Future into stardom, and the sounds that made Metro a household name. Not to mention, the scathing Kendrick Lamar verse on “Like That” that still has the internet abuzz. But the dynamic duo isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Earlier this year, the two announced that their long-awaited collaborative project will consist of two albums.

Today (April 4), the two teased the second installment of their promising series. In a video clip shared to Twitter, Future and Metro are seen in space. The two have already taken over the world, but they aren’t stopping there. Also in the clip, a collage of photos and videos of Future and Metro appear on screen, signifying a continuation of the long-manifested story.

At the end of the clip, the screen reads “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU,” sending a signal to fans that the sequel to We Don’t Trust You is on the way.

A tweet from Metro, seen above, indicates a release next week.

Metro Boomin revealed that someone from Canada hacked his account, switched his number to another phone provider, and sent off tweets from his account.

Hitting X, Metro provided an update to fans.

“Jus got my phone # and accounts back today somebody hacked me the day the album dropped smh,” Metro wrote. “And all those corny ass tweets all my day 1s know that’s nowhere in my character.”

He would go on to reveal a tweet sending a subliminal to 21 Savage was not from him: “What I look like subbing savage and we were on the phone for an hour 2 days ago. Y’all shoulda known something was up then but negativity and bad news travels faster and further than anything else.”

Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar have taken the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like That.”

The single, which features shots of Drake and J. Cole, is Future and Lamar’s third time at the top of the chart. Billboard says Metro gets his first No. 1 as a leading artist.

Showing the dominance of the We Don’t Trust You album, at No. 2, Future and Metro Boomin appear with “Type Shit,” featuring Travis Scott and Playboi Carti.

Overall, Metro and Future place five singles in the top 10.

Metro Boomin Shared That His Phone Was Hacked, And The Hacker Tried To Order $23,000 Worth Of Balenciaga Products

If Young Metro don’t trust you — well, you know how the tagline goes. And it looks like superstar producer Metro Boomin might have a new opp to look out for.

Over the past few days, fans of Metro noticed that he hadn’t shared his daily “Thank God for the day!” tweet, until today (April 2).

Many assumed he was still riding the high of his joint album We Don’t Trust You, featuring Future. But he explained that there was something more sinister at play.

“It all started 2 days before the album dropped and all these 416 numbers would call me back 2 back a million times,” said Metro in the beginning of a series of tweets. “It got so bad I had to keep my phone on airplane mode.” The tweet included a screenshot of several phone calls from different numbers, however, each of them were from the 416 area code — an area code from Toronto, Canada.

“I woke up 2 days after the album dropped,” Metro continued, “with my phone saying I was signed out of iCloud and I no longer had service on my phone.”

It would appear that Metro’s phone was hacked. And evidently, the hacker had some expensive taste.

“I eventually got an email from my Balenciaga rep asking me about an order I had placed and was confused af,” he said.

Thankfully, no orders actually went through. Metro’s contact at Balenciaga came through with screenshots, revealing that the hacker attempted to order some bags and some gaudy boots.

“I would never order these freaky ass boots,” said Metro.

The screenshots show that the hacker attempted to order the products to be delivered to Houston. Meanwhile, Metro has been in Atlanta with his family as these conversations are taking place. Additionally, the hacker attempted to order Chanel products from Balenciaga, which the Balenciaga rep immediately caught.

None of the hackers orders actually processed, as the Balenciaga rep couldn’t be duped. And, the hacker didn’t have Metro’s CVV number.

Nevertheless, Metro is unbothered and too busy reaping the fruits of his labor.

“#1 album. #1 song. It’s nothing like me to focus and attempt to thrive off negativity vs these blessings while I’m living through one of the biggest moments of my career thus far,” Metro said.
