Kendrick Lamar can officially take his victory lap as “Not Like Us” debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The performance Kendrick Lamar displayed over the last six weeks will be discussed and studied far beyond his time. When it comes to hip-hop beef, he showed that when they go low, he’ll take it straight to hell. What was supposed to be a friendly altercation between him and Drake turned personal rather quickly, and thanks to a well-planned strategy, Kendrick came out victorious.
According to Forbes, Kendrick’s last response “Not Like Us” exploded across the United States like wildfire coming in at #1 on the Billboard Top 100.
Kung Fu Kenny out Drake’d Drake delivering a certified hit that could eventually end up being the song of the summer. Reportedly Kendrick knocked all his songs out in one session while recording a new album. If true this battle showed how many pockets he could hit flaming anticipation for his new project.
Also “Euphoria” his first response in the battle jumped to #3 on the Billboard charts.
Looking back it’s almost unbelievable his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” became a full-fledged battle that saw J. Cole wave the white flag. One thing about hip-hop it will always be exciting and no matter how good it gets the most exciting times are always ahead.
