Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is still making waves, even if some fans are feeling a bit of fatigue. The track has officially sold over 5 million units in the U.S., making it eligible for five-times Platinum certification. This level of success is remarkable, especially considering the song has been out for less than four months.
Most would agree it’s been the song of the summer, and its influence shows no signs of waning as 2024 progresses. Adding to the intrigue, Drake appears determined to “win Game 2.” While it’s unclear if he means another direct showdown with Kendrick, his recent lyrical jabs hint at ongoing beefs.
Drake’s long game strategy could be targeting multiple rivals, aiming for sustained commercial and critical triumphs. Kendrick’s fans are also curious about his next move. Despite DJ Hed’s skepticism about new album rumors, it seems logical that Kendrick wouldn’t let this momentum go without a significant follow-up.
Speculations aside, Kendrick has already scored another huge achievement this year: the Diamond certification for “goosebumps,” his collaboration with Travis Scott. But it’s the success of “Not Like Us” that’s currently captivating fans. The future may hold more battles between Drake and Kendrick, but for now, “Not Like Us” reigns supreme.
With “Not Like Us” smashing records and Drake plotting his next move, hip-hop enthusiasts are in for an exciting ride. Whether or not another clash is on the horizon, Kendrick Lamar’s latest triumph is one for the history books.
