Has Not Like Us surpassed Ether, No Vaseline, and Hit Em Up?

[Overpss]

Whats crazy is that not only is NLU the goat diss track, but MTG is arguably top 5 too

 

[Overpss]

What y'all don't want to hear is Not Like Us was pushed by the industry and didn't have an organic impact

Wtf are you talking about, we have seen the impact NLU had immediately lmao. Way before any kind of promotion. The industry only jumped on it after it was certified.

Ya'll really love rewriting history uhh

 

[The Pledge]

Nah... we saw the organic impact it had immediately. As soon as it dropped, we saw people instantly singing that song everywhere.

In this case, the song only started trending on social media after it was already a smash hit in the streets.

Tell em again!

The reaction(s) were fukking recorded. We had people on Twitch the MOMENT it dropped. People stopped what they were doing to listen to NLU real fukking time.

That nikka dropped again?!??!?!

Ether is a better song for sure

In no way shape or form is ether a better song than Not Like Us. Not in impact or in writing. Not like us is basically as perfect as a song can possibly get. In all genres.

 

[tehparadox]

didn't have an organic impact

That would be a cool story if it was actually real...but Not Like Us = one of the first time a song become instantly impactful before it even became a trend on social media. It trended on social media literally hours after shyt was already going viral in the streets and in clubs.

It also dropped with 0 promotion.

And we still saw the impact it had 2 minutes after its release.

[VegetasHairline]

The term ethered came from that diss. So did referring to someone as a Stan. That terminology is still used today.

 

[keond]

Im 40, i was around for No Vaseline, and yes NLU has definitely surpassed it.

Yep we saw people reactions on YouTube and saw people crip walking to the song

 

[FlimFlam]

What y'all don't want to hear is Not Like Us was pushed by the industry and didn't have an organic impact

Ether was organic & shocked ppl in real time...literally left ppl speechless when they heard it

Imagine walking to school on a cold december day and hearing Ether be played

Nas dropped it on Jigga's bday...and it reclaimed Nas position as the best lyricist in rap

Don't even compare the competitive landscape of 2001 rap (Nas, Jigga, Kiss, Beans, Scarface, 3 stacks, X, Busta, Ghostface, Fab, Ja, Busta, Nore, Luda, etc...) to the barren landscape of 2024 rap

Ether is the most lethal diss in rap history

Not Like Us was a catchy song that was pushed by Lucien Grange and the powers that be in order to elevate Kendrick and diminish Drake

The beautiful thing with Not Like Us is that no matter how hard you try to re-write history, the shyt was so big that everyone remembers the moment it dropped.

-Against the actual industry, because Drake was botting on twitter, had podcasters on payroll and magazines even wrote (sources are there) that Drake was probably gonna win no matter what;
-Without any promotion;
-Had the whole world dance and sing that track literally MINUTES after it was released.

Even though I agree they started pushing it later on, that shyt was 100% organic upon release, and it's initial impact was undeniable.

 

[VegetasHairline]

You'd get the same social media impact and reaction videos if Ether dropped today. That wasn't available when it actually dropped.

 

[Kooze4524]

Some of y’all are tripping lol. Not Like Us was organic as hell… streamers and everyone were calling it a win for Kendrick right after it dropped, before any major push. Stop lying.


Even Drake’s boy Kai and AK were going crazy when Not Like Us dropped.

 

[tweezy]

Yeah and they can't even hide behind the "industry push" bullshyt because shyt went viral organically.
