Kendrick Lamar has already achieved what few other rapp<\/a>ers have in his Pulitzer Prize-winning career, but he could write himself further into the history books this weekend at Music\u2019s Biggest Night a.k.a the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

The Compton kingpin enters the 2025 ceremony, which takes place on Sunday (February 2) at Los Angeles\u2019 Crypto.com Arena, with seven nominations across five categories, the third most this year behind Charli XCX and Post Malone (8) and Beyonc\u00e9 (11).<\/p>\n

Mr. Muthafuck The Big Three, It\u2019s Just Big Me is up for two of the Big Four<\/a> prizes, Record of the Year and Song of the Year, for his Earth-shaking Drake diss song \u201cNot Like Us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kendrick also has two horses each in the race for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance thanks to \u201cNot Like Us\u201d and \u201cLike That,\u201d his blistering collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that ignited his feud with the 6 God, while the former is also in contention for Best Music Video.<\/p>\n

If \u201cNot Like Us\u201d wins in any of the categories it\u2019s nominated in, it will become the first ever diss song to win a Grammy.<\/p>\n

Only a handful of rappers have come close in the past. Coincidentally, Drake\u2019s \u201cBack to Back,\u201d the knockout blow in his feud with Meek Mill, was the first full-fledged diss track to be nominated for a Grammy in 2016 in the Best Rap Performance category.<\/p>\n

Also coincidentally, it lost out to Kendrick\u2019s \u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lil Kim\u2018s \u201cCame Back For You,\u201d which contained jabs at Eve and Foxy Brown, was previously nominated in the since-defunct Best Female Rap Solo Performance category in 2004.<\/p>\n

Though not a diss song in the context of a rap beef, Eminem\u2018s \u201cWithout Me,\u201d which took aim at everyone from Moby and Limp Bizkit to then-vice president Dick Cheny and his own mother Debbie Nelson, was up for both Record of the Year and Best Male Rap Solo Performance the year before.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot Like Us\u201d certainly has a good chance of claiming some silverware. Aside from being a devastating lyrical missile that knocked the biggest rapper of the 21st Century off his perch, the Mustard-produced anthem was unavoidable in 2024.<\/p>\n

It surged to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, broke numerous streaming and chart records (many belonging to Drake, to add insult to injury), was a strong contender for song of the summer and ended the year as one of the best-selling songs in the U.S.<\/p>\n

It also helped secure Kendrick the most coveted gig in music, the Super Bowl halftime show, and led to Drake filing a bombshell lawsuit against Universal Music Group, who he\u2019s accusing of defamation and harassment over the release and promotion of \u201cNot Like Us.\u201d<\/p>\n
