Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” aimed at Drake is now one of the longest-charting rap songs ever. Since its release in May 2024, the song spent many weeks at number one and stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 for nearly a year.
This week, it ranks at Number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. According to NFR Podcast, it’s the first rap song to remain on the charts for over a year, making Billboard history.
The track is widely praised for its sharp lyrics and West Coast production. It won Kendrick multiple Grammys and helped secure his Super Bowl Halftime Show spot. Ending 2024 strong with the GNX album, Kendrick is now touring with SZA.
Fans expect more from Kendrick this year, with speculation about a new album or involvement in other rap beefs, such as the potential Joey Bada$$ vs. West Coast conflict.
