The diss track that shook hip-hop keeps finding new ways to dominate the charts.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” continues to cement itself as one of the biggest moments in hip-hop history. The track has officially surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify, becoming the fastest rap song ever to reach the milestone and breaking the previous record held by “Industry Baby.”

Isn’t it crazy how much two years can change the entire landscape of hip-hop? When “Not Like Us” dropped, we were in the middle of one of the biggest rap battles ever between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Diss tracks were flying, the internet was going crazy, and every single move from both artists became a headline. Since then, the story has taken plenty of twists, with lawsuits, new beefs, and career-defining moments following the battle.

Now, Drake has bounced back with one of the highest-selling albums of the year, while Kendrick Lamar has completed one of the greatest victory laps imaginable. He collected multiple Grammys, performed at the Super Bowl, and watched “Not Like Us” continue dominating charts worldwide.

Produced by DJ Mustard, “Not Like Us” will forever be remembered as one of the biggest diss records ever created. The track had everything: a catchy hook, a viral dance, cultural references, and a beat that made everyone want to participate. Despite the harsh shots thrown at Drake, the song became bigger than the beef itself.

At this point, is it crazy to call “Not Like Us” the most successful diss track ever?
