Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has passed Tupac Shakur’s “Hit Em Up” as the most streamed diss track ever.
While K. Dot’s track has the advantage of being released in the streaming era, it is only three months old, whereas “Hit Em Up” has been around since the dawn of streaming, almost 20 years ago.
2Pac legacy became a part of the Drake-Kendrick diss when Drake used an AI version of Pac to diss Kendrick on “Taylor Made.”
Pac’s estate put an end to that with a cease and esist.
“The estate would never have given its approval for this use,” the letter read. “The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupacâs voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.”
Do you think “Not Like Us” is the greatest diss track of all-time?
Or even the best diss track of the Kendrick-Drake beef?
