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

[PHamm]

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

Nah. Ether was more regional (america) compared to NLU (world)

 

[Metal Face]

a diss aimed at a popstar with ghostwriters will never be the goat

nas and 2pac battled real rappers

 

[spliz]

Ok take all the social media hype out of the question…how many diss records made another A-list rapper file a federal lawsuit?

nikka the nikka filed a suit against the label BECAUSE of all the other shyt. If Jay had to deal with all the social media and industry antics with Ether he would’ve crashed out for sure. This ain’t even the best diss in the battle. Let alone better than Ether. It’s the biggest diss of all time. But not the BEST.

Where was you when NLU dropped

 

[Not Crodie]

Like Mos Def said, props to kendrick for having made the #1 AND #2 best rap diss records of all time

 

[Rekkapryde]

Yes, it is away and by far the most impactful diss track ever made, and we'll never see anything like it ever again.

Agreed


No Vaseline, Ether, Hit Em Up had no where near the GLOBAL impact of NLU. That isn't debatable. The PLANET teasing this man being a pdf is

Yes, it is away and by far the most impactful diss track ever made, and we'll never see anything like it ever again. We can debate whether its lyrics are a substantive as ether's, but if the main goal of your diss track is to humiliate your opponent, then there is nothing better than a song calling them a pedophile becoming one of the biggest hip-hop songs ever. I mean Drake sued for defamation

It stands alone at the top

Facts.

Euphoria >>> NLU

 

[Overpss]

shyt was so undeniable that nobody even complained about publications having it #1 on all time lists

 

[Overpss]

Euphoria >>> NLU

Disagree, NLU is a better track objectively. Even putting all the other stuff aside (sales, impact, records,...), Not Like Us is a superior song. But I agree that these are 2 different kind of rap songs, so I can see why someone would enjoy euphoria more.

 

[LezJepzin]

Yes.

Song is everywhere

best comment so far

 

[Card Holder]

No, those classic diss tracks were more organic whereas the kendrick/drake beef was boosted by a lot of celebrity nonsense, social media manipulation and conspiracy theories.

came to say this

Not sure how I'm supposed to judge a track without pointing out the fact that it was pushed by corporations. Imagine ether hit em up super ugly etc being played in inside nba?

Yeah dudes are contradicting themselves without realizing it.

By sales and charts, Drake rise and peak put him as one of the top selling/most popular acts in music, and rappers. That didnt mean that he was the best rapper. And I'm sure that people laughed at those who crowned him that for those reasons.

But in 2025, those same people crown this as the best diss records based on................sales and charts.

3rd verse alone is one of the best I heard
