Kendrick Lamar left a lot of people happy after performing "Not Like Us" during Super Bowl Halftime Show. Fans were anticipating the moment to arrive for months, and he delivered. Overall, it will go down as one of the most memorable moments in hip-hop history. The build up to it was perfect as Lamar teased the menacing Drake diss record twice before ultimately playing everyone's favorite lines. From the devious smile at the camera to having everyone scream "A minor," that's something that will ingrain into the minds of rap listeners for years to come.
With the Super Bowl now over, fans are revisiting the track again and again today. So many of them are in fact that streaming numbers are through the roof today. According to Spotify News, the GRAMMY-winning record is seeing a 430% increase on the platform. That mega bump has "Not Like Us" at a whopping 1.65 billion plays. Additionally, Kendrick Lamar is up to 86.3 million monthly listeners. But it's not just this crippling diss track that's getting love right now.
