The song playing in this video is Terrace Martin's Thirsty.

*From inkverywell on TT

thinking when will kdot respond?

Why is this this part of our window reveal getting wet when the weather when we have long spells of long heavy rain? No where else is wet, the roof has been inspected and drip trays installed, new windows, fresh repaint.....

I agree with the comedians but here are some more

Drake = LeBron

Kendrick = Kawhi

Cole = KD

Drake = Power

Kendrick= Snowfall

Cole = The Wire

Drake = Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Kendrick= Martin

Cole = Family Matters

This making it up as I go 🤣

Drake = Goku

Kendrick= Vageeta

Cole = Piccolo

Who y'all switching?

They been mentioning each other positively for years so why the fans keep wanting them against each other.

I do not really care about streaming numbers like that tbh. But the delusional victory lap over this is genuinely hilarious. It is not even that deep, but seeing people act like Make Them Cry barely passing Not Like Us' peak streaming day somehow proves something forced me to make the point.

MAKE THEM CRY

Make Them Cry pulled 13.2M on day one, edging out Not Like Us' 12.809M peak. Fair enough. But those numbers do not exist in the same context.

- Album Drake teased for almost 2 years

- Cryptic posts since August 2024

- 100 Gigs EP

- 4 livestream episodes

- The Toronto ice sculpture stunt

- Surprise triple-album drop

- First Drake solo album since 2023

- First solo project after losing the beef, so there was a built-in curiosity factor

- Album opener, ppl tuning in to hear what the loser of the 2024 beef has to say.

NOT LIKE US

- Saturday surprise release

- YouTube exclusive first

- Hit streaming hours later

- Standalone single

- No album

- No campaign

- No rollout

Not Like Us still became the record Drake just barely passed.

WHAT PEOPLE KEEP MISSING

- Not Like Us did not hit 12.809M on day one.

- It hit that on day six

- Per Spotify Stats, it went from 7.8M on day one

- Then 10.986M on day two

- Then peaked at 12.809M around May 10

- The song grew culturally with hype

- There was no album push behind it

- There was no rollout carrying it

- There was no 43-track project feeding streams into it

That is the difference. Make Them Cry needed every ounce of its setup to do 13.2M on day one. Not Like Us grew organically to 12.809M with almost nothing behind it. Grew culturally, and before anyone mentions the "removed streams"... Stick with the FACTS 🧊🦉there's no removed streams from NLU and no confirmed bot streams. Drake alleged 30m streams were botted in the lawsuit... Wonder how he has that number?... I'm sure Drake bought those streams so he could have some shit to talk about on Iceman. Now that's a commendable chess move instead of the "I fed you the information but I have no proof". 😂

WACCED OUT MURALS COMPARISON

For the Wacced Out Murals comparison some fans bring up:

- GNX was a true surprise drop

- No singles

- No teasers (apart from a video 30 minutes before dropping the album)

- No traditional rollout

- It pulled 7.75M day one completely cold

That is basically the floor for an intro track about Drake with zero promo behind it.

So when you compare it properly:

- Make Them Cry did 13.2M with nearly 2 years of setup

- Wacced Out Murals did 7.75M with zero setup

That gap is the setup effect Drake fans are pretending does not exist. Lmao.

THE LONGEVITY

And this is what Not Like Us did:

- 53 weeks on the Hot 100

- Longest-charting rap song in Billboard hisory

- #1 on the Hot 100 three separate times: Dbut, video premiere, post-Super Bowl

- First non-holiday song to hit #1 three separate times with multi-month gaps between runs

- Fastest rap song to 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, 500M, 600M, and 700M Spotify streams

- Most streams in a week by a rapper: 81.2M

- Broke Old Town Road's record for most weeks atop Hot Rap Songs

- Hit 1B Spotify streams in around 8 months

- Currently at 1.9B+ streams

Day-one streams measure the setup. Longevity measures the song. Ask about Make Them Cry in 18 months 👋
