Kendrick Lamar Officially Debuts The First Number 1 Rap Diss Song

[ADP]

Back 2 Back peaked at #21. Real Muthaphuckin Gs at #42. Ether, Takeover and Hit Em Up never charted on the Hot 100.

If history tells us anything, it's that it's very hard to get rap disses to chart on the Hot 100.

We're those relased as singles MEANT to show up on charts ? Was under the impression that is the big difference

Not that I think those would have gone to the top of the charts, just saying the way promo works is different. I see this as a win against that fukkboy but the historical part... less

Pretty sure meet the Graham's will land in the top 15 or top 20 also.

It’s 12.

This is true but ironically "Ether" did chart off Airplay and hit #50 on the R&B and Hip Hop Charts. "Hit Em Up" was also the B-Side on the #1 Hot 100 Charting Maxi Single for "How Do You Want It". Canibus's "Second Round K.O." hit #28. Speaking of LL, Kool Moe Dee's LL Cool J Disses "How Ya Like Me Now" and "Let's Go" both made the R&B Charts in the 80's. So yes to your overall point, Diss Records are always hard to chart on the Hot 100 because that's mostly a Pop Chart and they either don't release it as a single or it's too vulgar for airplay. Also as people mentioned. "Hiss" did go #1 this year and that was technically a Diss record. But this year made Hip Hop History. There have been 6 Diss Records in the Top 10 just this year:

#1 Hiss
#1 Like That
#1 They Not Like Us
#3 Euphoria
#6 7 Minute Drill
#7 Family Matters

"Meet the Grahams" is scheduled to Debut at #12 just missing the Top 10. "Push Ups" has peaked at #17 thus far. What makes this so huge is K Dot did it on a short week basically by dropping the song late Saturday so the tracking didn't start until Sunday. The only problem is he stepped on "Euphoria" so it probably won't get a #1 but #3 is still good.

He should send Drake a thank you card

Tell em awww

This isn't fair at all. The same as Drake having bragging rights to have caught up to MJ in number 1's. Times are different. Them songs couldn't even be played the same way and wasn't released as singles.

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Meet the Grahams charting on Billboard Top 100 is still insane to me

But Meet the Grahams followed by Not Like Us in less than 24 hours is a nuclear rap beef L. Let alone the fact that he dropped Euphoria just a few days earlier.

 

[Peter Popoff]

If the video don't drop, I'm dropping @Uno ....

 

[Ellen Degeneres]

Well deserved

Battles not a popularity contest though. At the end of the day you can still lose even if you have a catchy diss record. Ether is the best example of a commercial nikka (Jay) getting carried away and getting smoked with straight bars. Drake just lost decisively everywhere, even on his home court. Lost in bars, quotables, flow, public opinion, everything. He low key tried to use the Back to Back formula, but that sound and flow worked way better back then.

That's because Hit Em Up was too vulgar to get airplay like that

Jew cacs mad
