Thania Garcia Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That,” in which Lamar directly responds to Drake and J. Cole’s “First Person Shooter,” has landed at No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is featured on Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album, “We Don’t Trust You,” also the No.

1 album on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week. Lamar makes an appearance on “Like That,” directly referencing Drake and Cole’s boast of the “big three” best rappers in the game; “Love when they argue the hardest emcee / Is it K.

Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me? / We the big three like we started a league,” Cole raps in “First Person Shooter.” Lamar fires back in “Like That,” condemning Cole and Drake’s “sneak dissing” by directly referencing, “‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches.” He later adds, “Motherfuck the big three, n—a, it’s just big me.” Much like Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’s highly-publicized rap beef propelled Megan’s “Hiss” up the charts in February, Lamar’s fiery verses in “Like That” pushed the song to reach 60 million streams and 5.6 million radio airplay audience impressions in its first week, according to Luminate.
