    To all the dumbasses who still think Not Like Us isn’t the biggest rap song of all time, or at least that it can be argued as such, I have to ask: then what is?

    Would u say Not Like us is bigger than for example In Da Club, Gangsta Paradise, Lose Yourself... ?

    Specially worldwide

    I dont think there is an argument rn, but for sure in the future if it keeps up

    Is that why it only went 2 weeks at the top?

    I thought it was the biggest rap song ever lol

    It is, even when it was #3 it performed better than one dance at the top.

    That being said this s*** is cultural phenomenon. HBCU anthem. Diamond in a year , performed at SB, most awarded while being pure hip hop in essence.

    The biggest song in rap is calling out a colonizer who mocked slavery and giving a history lesson.

    Idk why y’all continue to have this conversation with a clueless basement dweller from Europe.

    Says the guy who said Bad Bunny was huge before MIA, the guy who never charted a song on Hot 100.

    Lol. Just admit you became a Bad Bunny stan like everyone else in 2022 bro, it's okay.

    It had 13 weeks at #1 lol.

    The only possible argument here is US too. Globally God's Plan was over double the size of NLU with ease

    Weeks at #1 is irrelevant. If not, Old Town Road is the biggest song of all time

    Yes OTR was arguably the biggest song of the last 10 years in the US

    Y’all are so disingenuous man.

    Old Town Road would be the biggest song of all time then if weeks at #1 mattered more than anything else, but y’all don’t even acknowledge that song.

    Weeks at #1 is an irrelevant metric, especially when some of the biggest songs of all time (rap especially) never even went #1

    No no, it would be the biggest of ALL TIME if we were just going by weeks at #1

    Nah because you can't compare stuff like this across diff eras, you can however compare a song from 5 years ago to now w/ billboard at least

    same way comparing god's plan global streams to NLU is braindead

    That's global lol, a huge % of OTR's streams were US. Also look at what it did on YT. It has like 3b+ streams just on youtube.

    It hit Diamond in like 7 months or something crazy, BL for example took like 2 years

    OTR also sold like 3x more pure copies (1.5m v 500k) than BL in its first year. That song is definitely the biggest of the last decade in the US and I don't think anything is close

    You’re changing the goalposts as you go man. Sunflower was the first ever Double Diamond song, and HUMBLE. was the first rap song to be Double Diamond eligible
