Kendrick Lamar’s latest hit, ‘Not Like Us,’ has achieved a remarkable milestone. The track has reached over 647 million streams, breaking the record previously held by 2Pac’s ‘Hit ‘Em Up.’

A screenshot shared by Our Generation Music on Instagram showed that ‘Not Like Us‘ had surpassed 2Pac’s iconic diss track by nearly six million streams. This achievement places Kendrick’s song as the most streamed diss track ever.

It’s worth noting that ‘Hit ‘Em Up‘ famously targeted the Notorious B.I.G and other East Coast artists. This song even topped a list of the 100 Greatest Diss Songs in Hip Hop History, with Kendrick’s lyrics taking aim at Drake.

Earlier this month, Kendrick’s presence in the music industry continued to dominate. ‘Not Like Us‘ was named the best-selling song of 2024 in the U.S. by Chart Data. This accolade came after the song achieved one million equivalent units in less than two weeks after its release in May.

By June, ‘Not Like Us‘ had exceeded two million sales. The song’s music video, available on Spotify and YouTube, has accumulated over 800 million plays. The track also topped the Billboard Hot 100 twice, thanks to its accompanying video.

Kendrick’s diss track has shattered multiple records previously held by Drake. Upon its release in May, the song earned the highest single-day streams of any rap song in U.S. Spotify history, with nearly eleven million streams in a single day.

In just 2024 alone, ‘Not Like Us‘ became the fastest rap song to reach 500 million streams on Spotify, dethroning Drake’s ‘God’s Plan.’ This track showcases Kendrick’s indomitable presence in the rap world.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ marks a significant achievement, solidifying his status as a dominant force in the music industry.
