The duo also became the first male-female solo pairing to hold the top spot for over 11 weeks. Their second joint effort, \u201c30 For 30,\u201d from the deluxe edition of SZA\u2019s<em> SOS<\/em>, remains on the chart, helping extend Lamar\u2019s unprecedented run.<\/p>\n<p>According to data shared by Bars, Lamar is the only rapper in 2025 to appear on the Hot 100 for nearly every week of the year. \u201cluther\u201d accounts for roughly a quarter of that presence, while other tracks from his<em> GNX<\/em> project\u2014like \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d \u201ctv off\u201d and \u201cpeekaboo\u201d\u2014also contributed to his chart dominance.<\/p>\n<p><d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kendrick Lamar - luther (Official Audio)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HfWLgELllZs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><\/p>\n<p>Lamar\u2019s commercial success has been matched by critical acclaim. At the 2025 Grammy Awards in February, he swept major categories with \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d a pointed diss track aimed at Drake, which he also performed during the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The performance marked a rare moment of spectacle from the usually reserved artist.<\/p>\n<p>The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar began in 2013, when Kendrick called out Drake (and others) on his verse in Big Sean\u2019s \u201cControl,\u201d declaring his intent to lyrically outdo his peers. Over the years, both artists downplayed the feud publicly but continued to send subliminal shots in their music, with Lamar notably escalating things in 2024 by rejecting the notion of the \u201cBig Three\u201d (Drake, J. Cole and Lamar) on Future &amp; Metro Boomin\u2019s \u201cLike That,\u201d and instead declaring himself the sole leader in rap.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DF5afXmJeIl\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
