“Streaming Boost for Artists Sampled in Kendrick Lamar’s Diss to Drake”

The recent diss track from Kendrick Lamar aimed at Drake has not only sparked controversy but also led to a surprising outcome for some artists whose music was sampled in the song. According to Billboard, Teddy Pendergrass and Al Green, whose songs were featured in Lamar’s track, saw a significant increase in streaming numbers following the release of the diss track.

Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration” saw a 76% surge in streams, while Al Green’s “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is” experienced a whopping 283% increase in streams. Additionally, a relatively unknown song, “BBL Drizzy,” sampled by Metro Boomin for his anti-Drake beat challenge, saw a massive rise in streams as well.

Al Green himself took to Twitter to acknowledge the sample of his song in Lamar’s track, further adding to the buzz surrounding the diss. Lamar’s track, titled “6:16 in LA,” not only references Drake but also hints at internal turmoil within Drake’s team, as mentioned in the lyrics of the song.

The diss track has certainly stirred up the music industry, not only sparking debates and discussions but also leading to a boost in streaming numbers for the artists sampled in the song. It remains to be seen how Drake and his team will respond to Lamar’s bold move and whether this feud will continue to escalate in the coming days.
