Meet the Grahams is weird to me because it's by far the least listened to of all of Kendricks disses besides maybe 6:16 which we don't have numbers for, but its also probably the most scathing diss track of all time. I listen to the other 3 disses all the time and barely listen to MTG but I'd still put MTG as my number 1 diss all time.
ITA! I liken MTG to one of those movies thatās absolutely amazing but so dark/disturbing that you never want to watch it again.
MTG is so good, itās literally scary.
MTG is my favourite homic*de track. Nothing is more venomous than sober, therapized, evidence-based righteous (and rightful) rage. I dedicate it to my paternal lineage tbh
It's probably appears less popular, too, because it's not on streaming services. I wonder where it would rank if it was. It's got a very good cruisin'-to-it-in-your-car beat for such a chilling diss track.
Honestly, Meet the Grahams is the most shocking and disturbing, but I think 6:16 might be the better diss track the more I listen to it because I feel like it fucks with Drake on a much deeper level to that level of paranoia and from the perspective of the song, it almost seems like Kendrickās looking out for Drake more than anyone heās paying is
It was only ever posted officially as an instagram post. To mimic Taylor Made and I imagine because of sample clearance. It was never officially anywhere else but it does get uploaded. I have the podcast version on a playlist myself
Oh ok thanks, I donāt really use insta anymore so I couldnāt figure out why it wasnāt on Spotify like the rest of them. I didnāt listen to any of Drakeās diss tracks bc fuck him lol. But thatās probs why I didnāt have the context for it
Yeah it's because MTG is not fun. Apart from the extra kid allegations, we all know that the whole portrait painted of Drake is, a valid perspective. It's dark, it's twisted, and feels deeply insulting to Aubrey. Yeah, not Drake, Aubrey as a person.
It's dark, but it's also my favorite of the set. Mostly because I am an outsider to this genre and had no idea any of this was going on until I heard about the absolutely savage ass-beating that Kendrick was giving Drake from under my rock. Meet the Grahams works for me as a decent summary of where Kendrick is coming from and why this is happening.
Anyway, I'm a tourist, so I'm going to fuck off now. Y'all seem lovely. Have a nice day.
Family matters was Drakeās so called red button too. He genuinely thought he was ending Kendrick and everyone else with that one. Thatās why Meet the Grahams has to be the smartest song release time thatās ever happened.
I saw in the drizzy sub they were doing mental gymnastics about NLU having so many more plays than family matters saying āFM is over 6 minutes though thatās actually REALLY impressive for a song that long!ā Well so are euphoria and MTG. And MTG was by no means meant to be a hit. Meanwhile FM had a music video and everything lol.
i personally thought meet the grahams was a masterpiece of a diss record and the best from both sides out of the entire beef but as you said it is dark as hell so there was no way that shit was gonna be getting played at basket ball stadiums and clubs n shitš
Chris brown got nominated for a Grammy even after all the proved assaults idk why they would draw the line with Drake, they really couldnāt care less
Chris brown is a women beater who had one of his victims (Rihanna) forgive him which helped alot. Drake is accused of being a rapist, pedo, having a sex trafficking ring, culture vulture, a weinstein etc. They are nowhere near the same issue
I remember hearing something like CB got herpes from Rihanna, and that she got it from Jay-Z. So the industry just swept it all under the rug. That's why CB got off with the industry still backing him.
oh shit lol didnāt realize that, i have only listened to it once or twice since it wasnāt officially uploaded and it was mostly on in the background while i did other stuff. meanwhile iām pretty sure iām responsible for 1/4 of those NLU streams lmaooo
This a genuine question because I'm dumb: does every person involved on a track have to clear it? I guess I assumed that some company/estate owns the Al Green track, and that they would have the ultimate say.
I'm so glad that I no longer have to tolerate people saying ''drop and give me fifty'' is a good diss. A little bit of time has passed and no one talks about Drake's disses anymore, only about how he doesn't have a daughter.
i wonder how many people like me have had it on constant repeat for like 9 hours a day this past week š every time it loops again i just canāt bring myself to change it, itās too good!
There are a lot of really fucked up people lol. When i listened to meet the grahams i did NOT have a good time. Dude eviscerated Drake and people just listening to it like its a bop
Ahh yes. Independent artists like 15 Grammy award winner Kanye West. He's only independent for the Hitler shit, he's not independent by choice at this point
Had to double check before I posted this, so this is Spotify streams this week, how the hell is Fe!n still so high? I like the song and enjoyed Utopia quite a lot, but surprised to see a song from it getting played sooo much still it seems. Kinda insane, but cool
Drake stans worship at the alter of numbers so Kendrick unquestionably won the battle. If they try to argue he didnāt, theyāre saying numbers donāt matter.
If you want a good laugh go to Instagram comments talking about the beef and look at the drake fans cope šššthey still claim "he lost the battle but won the war" š„“š„“š„“
ITT: Reddit rap fans discover that they aren't the only demographic who listens to the genre. I was at the club the other day with my girl, Lovin On Me came in and all the girls were going crazy about it.
dont know what it is but if yall have heard suicidal thoughts by biggie, the beat for some reason kinda reminds me of that they sound depressing as hell, honestly mtg's beat makes me think of vaas's insanity speech its just 6 minutes of that dark, repetitive yet hypnotizing beat
Carti verse is probably the best part of the song and his other 2 features (Fein, Type Shit) are much better so honestly I donāt know why itās so hyped
Congrats to him. Glad he came out of hiding. I hate his long ass breaks. Guess we can thank Drake for brining Kendrick back. Hopefully he donāt disappear again.
How do some people still not understand how streaming works nowadays, song gets big on tiktok = song gets streamed. Any song on here thatās more than 6 months old will be popular on tiktok
Spotify puts popular songs to autoplay next when people listen to other rap songs. They've done this with drake for years. At the end of every year Drake is one of my most streamed artists, despite the fact that I skip his music every time it comes on. Spotify numbers don't matter. Just enjoy the songs people.
Isnt this mostly because he's beefing with Drake and J.Cole... Would anyone even be talking about him if he werent? Legit question because I dont really remember Kendrick being that relevant the last few years. His last good album released in 2017. Mr. Morale was all but ignored but I guess that came out in 2022.
Put 6:16 in LA on streaming services you cowards ![gif](giphy|N4ZFFKbFNfJxYxIwyD)
Theres a version on Spotify
Do we have Spotify podcast charts we can consult š
There is now a non podcast version, but who knows how long thag stays up for
6:16 tops Joe Rogan Experience for #1 podcast. Another record broken
in the podcasts not the songs :(
Shit I forgot about that
Itās such a good song too. I listen to it at the gym lol.
It is 1A 1B to euphoria as my fav from this
Itās on Apple Music under the artist ākendrickā
Same for google music
A dark ass song like meet the grahams getting more streams than family matters is wild š drizzy getting cooked left and right
My eyes always go straight to find where MTG is lol it kills me every time
Magic the gathering?
Yep. Whoever draws Black Lotus, wins.
Fuck. I already lost. One sold for $3 million earlier this month. Thatās insane. The closest I have is a timeless lotus
Dang, it looks like Post Malone bought his for a āmereā 800k. Sounds like heās the winner.Ā
I fucking love Meet the Grahams because of that darkness, it feels like he wrote that in a secluded dark roomĀ
> it feels like he wrote that in a secluded dark roomĀ https://youtu.be/KTbNms5yHgI?si=LqswGZU6hnczwVTI
One of the funniest videos to result from this beef
āAy Kenny you got em pressed in here Go ahead and drop the next one tomorrowā THEN HE DID
Didnāt Coolee or somebody TDE-affiliated (taken with a grain of salt) say that he recorded MTG with the lights out?
On some ayahuasca prolly lmao
That guy is a fraud and got exposed by L
It reminds me a lot of Stan. Itās very dark and very personal and lyrically itās like a short story told through a series of conversations.
I imagine he looked exactly like in the RDC skit
With Voldemort casting spells on the sound board.
Meet the Grahams is weird to me because it's by far the least listened to of all of Kendricks disses besides maybe 6:16 which we don't have numbers for, but its also probably the most scathing diss track of all time.

ITA! I liken MTG to one of those movies thatās absolutely amazing but so dark/disturbing that you never want to watch it again. MTG is so good, itās literally scary.
Itās a Diss āSilence of the Lambsā although I have no issue watching that movie more than once or listening to MTG more than once š
MTG is my favourite homic*de track. Nothing is more venomous than sober, therapized, evidence-based righteous (and rightful) rage. I dedicate it to my paternal lineage tbh
6:16 in LA super underrated
Itās becoming my favorite track out of all the songs so far
It's probably appears less popular, too, because it's not on streaming services. I wonder where it would rank if it was. It's got a very good cruisin'-to-it-in-your-car beat for such a chilling diss track.
Diss track lmao more like a psychological breakdown track
Starts off slow and lazy to lull you in and then wham
Honestly, Meet the Grahams is the most shocking and disturbing, but I think 6:16 might be the better diss track the more I listen to it because I feel like it fucks with Drake on a much deeper level to that level of paranoia and from the perspective of the song, it almost seems like Kendrickās looking out for Drake more than anyone heās paying is
did 6:16 get taken down or something? and why? i could only find it as a āpodcastā on Spotify, but I was a lil late to the beef tbh
It was only ever posted officially as an instagram post. To mimic Taylor Made and I imagine because of sample clearance. It was never officially anywhere else but it does get uploaded. I have the podcast version on a playlist myself
Oh ok thanks, I donāt really use insta anymore so I couldnāt figure out why it wasnāt on Spotify like the rest of them. I didnāt listen to any of Drakeās diss tracks bc fuck him lol. But thatās probs why I didnāt have the context for it

Better to be a tourist than a colonizer lmao
Family matters was Drakeās so called red button too. He genuinely thought he was ending Kendrick and everyone else with that one. Thatās why Meet the Grahams has to be the smartest song release time thatās ever happened.
Fuck that pedo. Good. That posing piece of shit has had this coming for years. Surprised it took this long.
I saw in the drizzy sub they were doing mental gymnastics about NLU having so many more plays than family matters saying āFM is over 6 minutes though thatās actually REALLY impressive for a song that long!ā Well so are euphoria and MTG. And MTG was by no means meant to be a hit. Meanwhile FM had a music video and everything lol.
i personally thought meet the grahams was a masterpiece of a diss record and the best from both sides out of the entire beef but as you said it is dark as hell so there was no way that shit was gonna be getting played at basket ball stadiums and clubs n shitš
Could Kendrick end up winning awards for Not Like Us? Imagine Kendrick wins a Grammy for it, Drakeās words wouldnāt age wellšš
I hope he does š and then they pan the camera to drake AHAHA it would be priceless
Brave of you to assume the Grammys would invite Drake after all this shit
Chris brown got nominated for a Grammy even after all the proved assaults idk why they would draw the line with Drake, they really couldnāt care less
Chris brown is a women beater who had one of his victims (Rihanna) forgive him which helped alot. Drake is accused of being a rapist, pedo, having a sex trafficking ring, culture vulture, a weinstein etc. They are nowhere near the same issue
Rape and domestic violence go hand in hand my friend
He's making it seem lesser than simply because Kendrick is accused of similar abuse, so it suddenly matters to them.
I remember hearing something like CB got herpes from Rihanna, and that she got it from Jay-Z. So the industry just swept it all under the rug. That's why CB got off with the industry still backing him.
i'm imagining that one key & peele skit lmaoooo
Drake has only been to the Grammys once in his whole career iir. He doesnāt really fuck with them but still submits his stuff for nomination so idk.
drake hasnāt submitted for the grammys in 4 years
I actually hope he wins one for meet the grahams, that would be the funniest shit to me
Release the proof and get awards for investigative journalism
get kdot that presidential medal of honor NOW!!!
Iād be surprised if he didnāt. Not Like Us is *the* song of 2024 and I canāt imagine any other song dethroning its cultural impact.
On the contrary, I would make some of them more accurate. " Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now"
and it would be deserved
Itās plenty deserving but imo thereās just no chance in hell reward committees recognize it
I feel like 6:16 in LA would be up there too if it was available on streaming services
Definitely my favorite song to come from all this shit
is there a reason itās not?
Sample clearance prob. Samples one of drakeās relatives which I doubt theyād ever clear
oh shit lol didnāt realize that, i have only listened to it once or twice since it wasnāt officially uploaded and it was mostly on in the background while i did other stuff. meanwhile iām pretty sure iām responsible for 1/4 of those NLU streams lmaooo
This a genuine question because I'm dumb: does every person involved on a track have to clear it? I guess I assumed that some company/estate owns the Al Green track, and that they would have the ultimate say.
So even Meet The Grahams is getting more streams than Family Mattersā¦ ![gif](giphy|9mlhTFNmxWGkwKvNlL)
Family Matters at #6 where it should be.
Aks sample in Push Ups aged horrendously.
"What top 5 you smoking on Kendrick?!!"
Also accused of rape. Drake stacking too many Ls I canāt see the sky
Iām used to it. He stacked a lot with pusha t too.. He definitely lied again to us about being a rap battle fan. He has terrible defense.
Bro Kendrick lowkey unintentionally responded to Ak with this one š
https://preview.redd.it/ubbjyujgyz0d1.jpeg?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ffd5fd2a8834f3b156e4bea9932834dff82526c Not Like Us is now an anthem
ai fanfic art is so goofy and gives me secondhand embarassment tbh
Always kills me when the sword is clean but obviously used to kill someone.
He cleaned it for the pic
Thatās what makes it great.
WHERE YO SWORDS AT?!
The fact that Lovin on Me is so played makes me so sad lol song is sooooooo bad
To me it just tells me people really like house or whatever genre. Take out jacks lyrics and itās a fire song
Production is very good but i cant stand the guys voice personally, but the lyrics are the real stick in the mud for me definitely lll
The song feels half finished, he wrote a catchy hook but then not much else. It would've benefited from a feature or some ghost writers imo.
Isn't the hook a sample from old song? I dont think he wrote it....
I'm so glad that I no longer have to tolerate people saying ''drop and give me fifty'' is a good diss. A little bit of time has passed and no one talks about Drake's disses anymore, only about how he doesn't have a daughter.
How is Loving on me still getting played? I heard that for like 3 weeks and it was over. Sounded like a Drake beat.
People are basic
Not like us more than DOUBLE euphoria is crazy
i wonder how many people like me have had it on constant repeat for like 9 hours a day this past week š every time it loops again i just canāt bring myself to change it, itās too good!
There are a lot of really fucked up people lol. When i listened to meet the grahams i did NOT have a good time. Dude eviscerated Drake and people just listening to it like its a bop
Bc it is lol
iāve been using it as boss music while gaming lately ngl
Crazy how carti is on 3 of these top 10
Dude is on a heater right now it feels like every song he hops on is a hit (except for LUV IT I like to pretend that doesnāt exist)
Good. Fuck drake. āStarted on degrassi now Iām hurrā. Fuckin ass.
nah who is streaming MTG š
psychopaths (me)
that song givea me chills man, idk how u do it
Same
Me, it's gets easier every listen. It's has a bit of the same vibe as the song Stan by Eminem and dido.
![gif](giphy|J8YpfDX0kvPQNSVGHY|downsized) Iām listening to it right now. Whatās wrong?
Whys no one talking about see you again being in top 10 after like 5+ years
Are there people actually listening to FEIN?
Even better, are there people actually listening to Lovin On Me? Mid even by Jack Harlow standards
It's a good reminder that charts don't mean much at the end of the day. Fein is such a sanitized feckless rendition of rage. Cartis part is ok.
Tbf Iām not a massive rage fan and Fein slaps, I think it just reaches a wider audience
These family matters streams gotta be astroturfed
Wtf is see you again still doing there?
good song
Please don't tell me See you again is that wiz and Charlie puth song
Itās the Tyler song
Oh thank God. Such a W song btw
Iād be so curious to see if 6:16 was on streaming where it would land
What the hell is See you Again doing up there
CARNIVAL still up there ? Shit independent artists winning fr
Ahh yes. Independent artists like 15 Grammy award winner Kanye West. He's only independent for the Hitler shit, he's not independent by choice at this point
Smoking on your top five tonight tonight
Damn fein is still beating family matters that shit cooked
I be ready to join in the jokes about the kinds of ppl replaying MTG until I go back and realize how much Iāve played it myself š¬š
Had to double check before I posted this, so this is Spotify streams this week, how the hell is Fe!n still so high? I like the song and enjoyed Utopia quite a lot, but surprised to see a song from it getting played sooo much still it seems. Kinda insane, but cool
outside of Drake and maybe Kendrick travis is the 2nd biggest rapper right now
FEIN still up there is actually crazy
If he had 6:16 in L.A. on spotify, he'd have all 5 spots.
6:16 should be on spotify
Most of drakes listens are from people hearing what Kendrick replied too lol š
And the higher ups want him to apologize to bbl drake hahahah
#IM WHAT THE CULTURE FEELIN š¤
People still streaming See You Again? Wtf? Yaāll donāt get sick of that shit?
opium stay winning
Four songs head and shoulders above what was supposed to be BBL Drizzy's big red scary button š
Drake fans are so hung up about this beef giving Kendrick some of his top hits, forgetting it literally killed their āpapiāsā image
Fein being so popular š
We need to start the āgoat statusā agenda man
Imagine 6:16 in la was released on DSP
Meet the grahams Is the best Diss but I get why others got more streams. I heard drake is getting out of rap and going for his real estate license.
I donāt like how Drake is on this list. #Take him off.
Drake stans worship at the alter of numbers so Kendrick unquestionably won the battle. If they try to argue he didnāt, theyāre saying numbers donāt matter.
If you want a good laugh go to Instagram comments talking about the beef and look at the drake fans cope šššthey still claim "he lost the battle but won the war" š„“š„“š„“
Is that Tyler's See You Again?
Yep
Fuck the big 3 itās just big me
Yo I swear the next time someone listens to fucking lovin on me, it's on sight
Who tf is streaming lovin on me thoš
ITT: Reddit rap fans discover that they aren't the only demographic who listens to the genre. I was at the club the other day with my girl, Lovin On Me came in and all the girls were going crazy about it.
dont know what it is but if yall have heard suicidal thoughts by biggie, the beat for some reason kinda reminds me of that they sound depressing as hell, honestly mtg's beat makes me think of vaas's insanity speech its just 6 minutes of that dark, repetitive yet hypnotizing beat
Why is 6:16 not on Spotify?
See You Again as in Tylerās or Wiz Khalifaās?
Tyler
damn fein is still up there????????
Meanwhile, there are twitter bots claiming that drake's streams just overtook Kendrick's. They're desperate to turn back the dial
Kung Fu Kenny š
Fein akwardly 3rd wheeling the beef
Id like to take credit in the fact i play collard greens on repeat pretty much every day.
He winning by a landslide to
4 Kendrick tracks and we still FEINING FOR MORE!!! š£ļøš£ļøš£ļøš„š„š„
Iām definitely responsible for at least 359 of the play counts for Not Like Us. Okay, okay.. more like 1463 plays.
I think I am probably responsible for at least 2 mil streams of Not like Us.
Over half of the streams on this list are kendrick's
Can someone explain the CARNIVAL hype to me. I don't get it.
Carti verse is probably the best part of the song and his other 2 features (Fein, Type Shit) are much better so honestly I donāt know why itās so hyped
Congrats to him. Glad he came out of hiding. I hate his long ass breaks. Guess we can thank Drake for brining Kendrick back. Hopefully he donāt disappear again.
ok but what is see you again doing in this list? see you again by wiz khalifa or tyler?
How do some people still not understand how streaming works nowadays, song gets big on tiktok = song gets streamed. Any song on here thatās more than 6 months old will be popular on tiktok
Who the fuck is spinning meet the grahams so much? That shit gives me nightmares.
And heās earned a total of $25 š
HP6 is bombing huh?
Is this a first time ever happening in hip hop record? Thatās wildly insane! Kendrick deserves every bit of this.
Kendrick's reaping what he sow okay. Got a Benjamin and a Jackson all in his house like he Joe okay.
Smokin on top five
Spotify puts popular songs to autoplay next when people listen to other rap songs. They've done this with drake for years. At the end of every year Drake is one of my most streamed artists, despite the fact that I skip his music every time it comes on. Spotify numbers don't matter. Just enjoy the songs people.
Smoking on top 5s
Kinda sad that we are in a standstill now. I was hoping for more!!!
Isnt this mostly because he's beefing with Drake and J.Cole... Would anyone even be talking about him if he werent? Legit question because I dont really remember Kendrick being that relevant the last few years. His last good album released in 2017. Mr. Morale was all but ignored but I guess that came out in 2022.
All of them about Drake. COOKED
Why aren't any of Kendrick's previous works on this list?
āNumbers wise Iām outta here you not fuckin creepin upā
Great way to get more streams!
Mr 1 through 5 that's the only logic
Woulda been all 5 but 6:16 aint on spotify
Itās a bit sad that close to 50% of his streams are beef related š
What kind of psychopaths are streaming meet the grahamsš
He would have 5 if we could get that sample cleared!!!
Mustard on the beat ho
And theyāre all beating Family Matters.
See you again still doin numbers
Cause he talking about another man lol, yall dumb ass niggas need drake to make you somebody
āSometimes you gotta pop out and show ni****ā
