Drake And Kendrick Lamar Beef Compiled Onto Fan-Made Cassette Tape

by

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef has been the biggest story in all of rap music this year. Not only did it rope in some of the biggest stars in the genre but it captivated fans for weeks as nobody knew when the next shots would be fired. That was the case in particular during the weekend where “Family Matters,” “Meet The Grahams,” and “Not Like Us” were all dropped in rapid fire succession. Now, for fans looking to relive the original beef in the order that it unfolded, there’s a special cassette

Earlier this week a user took to Twitter to show off a copy of the cassette they found. The tweet racked up more than 43k likes as fans mused on where they could get their own copy of the compilation. The tracklist is visible on the back of the tape and it’s a pretty extensive history of everyone even slightly involved with the beef. It begins with Drake and J. Cole’s collaboration “First Person Shooter” where the original “big three” comments were made about the pair and Kendrick Lamar. Then it features multiple Future and Metro Boomin songs, including “Like That” where Kendrick called them out directly. Then it features all of the songs Drizzy and Kendrick released taking shots at each other and even some other cuts from Rick Ross and Metro Boomin that played into the massive beef. Check out the full tape below.

As for Budden’s comments, he reacted to the song initially by joking: “You better thank your heavens up above that it isn’t HBCU season! You better thank God.” Lamar kicked off the feud with Drake back in March by teaming up with Future and Metro Boomin for the song, “Like That.” He and the Toronto rapper fired off several diss tracks aimed at one another in the ensuing months. Drake has since scrubbed his Instagram of all his posts related to the beef, although fans think his latest upload features some shade toward Lamar. Check out the clip of Georgia Mass Band’s performance of “Not Like Us” below.

Kendrick Lamar Continues To Break Spotify Records As “Not Like Us” Hits Monumental Milestone

by

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is barely a month old, and yet it already feels like it’s broken every Spotify rap song record under the sun as far as streaming numbers go. Moreover, you’ve probably seen this headline a lot, and it’s because people can’t get enough of this Drake diss and are looking forward to more moments with it. After all, K.Dot will likely premiere this song live in Los Angeles for his “Pop Out” Juneteenth concert, and we’re sure that if he plays it, the energy will be astounding. Anticipation for it, plus it being such a catchy song despite its subject matter, are some factors as to why it became the fastest rap song in Spotify history to surpass 300 million streams on the platform (35 days).

Of course, this might paint this rap battle as a clear victory, but both Drake and Kendrick Lamar fans have arguments for it being much closer than some folks give it credit for. Even though some people think that The Boy is acting deludedly by calling K.Dot a “one-trick pony” with his latest IG troll, his disses did contain more sharp writing than some expected. Regardless, it’s clear that numbers-wise, there is definitely a first place finish with “Not Like Us.” But as rap beef, discussion, and the genre’s artistry proves time and time again, numbers don’t really matter at the end of the day.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Is Still A Nonstop Record-Breaker

Well, unless Kendrick Lamar is your GOAT, in which case you’ve never cared more about numbers. But light hypocrisy and confirmation bias aside, the acclaim and success behind “Not Like Us” is one of the most astonishing and unlikely hits of hip-hop’s 2024. In fact, it’s the principal driving factor behind this year in particular perhaps going down as Kendrick’s biggest streaming year of his career so far. We’ll see if this ends up being the case by the time December rolls around.

Actually, the new album rumors are rampant, and while it’s tough to call how fans will perceive this move after the Drake beef, they will likely celebrate its purely hypothetical announcement regardless. Maybe Kendrick Lamar really did just want to pop out and will use his Juneteenth show to wrap things up and leave us waiting for his next project. Or he’s about to have one of the most dominant and eventful years any rapper has ever had. Ever! And so could Drizzy if he drops something long-form, so we’ll see whether or not this dead horse is one we’ll be beating all the way to New Year’s.

Mustard Will Join Kendrick Lamar For “Pop Out” Show With Friends

by

“Not Like Us” is going to ring off with particular hype at Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming “Pop Out” show in Los Angeles on Juneteenth. Moreover, a big part of this is that Mustard recently announced that he will be in attendance at the concert at The Forum, which is an expected but still exciting first announced guest. We don’t know whether other folks that will make it to the “Ken & Friends” event will announce their participation beforehand or if it will mostly be a surprise. Either way, fans can’t wait to catch this live and feel the built-up energy from this Drake beef that this performance will take to a boiling point.

Furthermore, if you’re not in Los Angeles, no worries: there will be a livestream of Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” event via Amazon Prime and Twitch. As such, you can still see Mustard spin “Not Like Us,” and we’d guess that this is going to be a really fun moment for the song’s producer. After all, this is his most high-profile collaboration in a while, and the chance to celebrate the song’s achievements on a special holiday in his home city is a very heartening development. We can’t help but wonder what other friends will make an appearance…

Mustard Will “Pop Out” For Kendrick Lamar Show

Meanwhile, Mustard has some big moves of his own to look forward to very soon, including his recently announced upcoming new album Faith Of A Mustard Seed. With just a single track, it’s already been a massive year for him so far, so to see this full-length return in such a grandiose way is a very exciting move for 2024. Overall, there are a whole lot of reasons to be excited for this “Pop Out” show from Kendrick Lamar. But folks like ScHoolboy Q think that this represents something bigger for the West Coast this year, as it’s been one heck of a run for the region in the past few months.

“Heard it. sH*t go dumb. LA bout to do it again… LA up tHis year,” ScHoolboy Q tweeted about the new Mustard album, adding onto the hype around his own LP Blue Lips, the new Vince Staples album Dark Times, and so much more. Whether you’re K.Dot or another L.A. artist, you’ve got a lot to be proud of these days, and we’ll see how this continues to evolve throughout the year. Maybe this is going to really be the year of the West Coast when we look back at it. As long as we don’t start underrating all the other scenes, it’ll be a pretty fun time.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is the song that just keeps spreading and spreading. Since debuting at number one on the Hot 100 last month it’s only been surpassed by one song. That was Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help”. The song has spread to all kinds of surprising places. It’s one of the big favorites to be the defining song of the summer. It’s popped up in the live set of multiple artists in recent weeks including numerous members of Kendrick’s former label Top Dawg Entertainment like Doechii and Isaiah Rashad.

Of course, it’s nestled into another familiar song, Jackson’s own smash hit “Nasty.” During the breakdown of the song, you can hear her slip the chorus of “Not Like Us” into the backing track which some fans were able to catch on video. Check out the clip of Jackson’s newest show where the song appears below.

by

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” is taking on a life of its own even outside their high-profile beef. While many of the song’s release by both artists are long and lyrically indulgent as they take shots at each other, “Not Like Us” is different. The Mustard produced song is laced with one catchy refrain after another and has tons of memorable lyrics that have been memed endlessly online. That’s why it’s no surprise the song has been a massive hit that’s made its way into all kinds of different unexpected facets of pop culture.

A diss track having a dance associated with it probably wasn’t something anyone was expecting when the spat began. But now Omarion has shared his choreography for “Not Like Us” on Instagram. He dropped a video of the moves he’s associating with the song but surprisingly, fans online weren’t really feeling it. Multiple comments on the post criticize the choreography with some claiming it doesn’t even resemble dancing anymore. “he not even dancing he showing off his fit 😂😂” one comment reads. “Omarion just did a bunch of NOTHING!!!” another agrees.
