“Assessing the outcome of a rap feud is often a subjective task, clouded by personal biases and opinions. However, one method that provides a more objective measure is analyzing chart performance.
In this regard, Kendrick Lamar seems to have gained an edge. His diss track aimed at Drake, titled “Not Like Us,” has already amassed a greater number of views on YouTube compared to Drake’s response, “Family Matters,” despite being released a day later. This indicates a stronger initial reception and engagement from the audience.
Moreover, Lamar’s follow-up diss track, “Euphoria,” is currently positioned to contend with Tommy Richman’s breakout hit “Million Dollar Baby” for the coveted number one spot on The Billboard Hot 100 next week. If successful, it would mark a significant achievement for Lamar, signaling widespread popularity and support for his music.
It’s worth noting that this potential success would also mark the second time this year that a diss track directed at Drake has reached the number one position on the charts, following the earlier success of “Like That.”
Overall, these chart performances serve as tangible evidence of Kendrick Lamar’s dominance in the ongoing feud with Drake, highlighting the impact and resonance of his music within the hip-hop community.”
