While fans may dispute who won the recent rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, just one finished on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' which was released on May 4, hit No. 1 on the charts on Monday, according to Billboard. The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper released four diss tracks against fellow rapper Drake over the course of a week, including 'euphoria,' '6:16 in LA,' 'meet the grahams' and 'Not Like Us.
However, in the age of social media, fans often stand by their favorite artists regardless of the content or quality of the music, making it harder to determine a clear winner in these lyrical battles. Still, rap fans have delighted in the songs that have come out of this conflict, despite some of the songs holding serious accusations against each artist.
