Kendrick Lamar Responds To Drake With “euphoria” Diss

blame it on Meka April 30, 2024

Kendrick Lamar finally responded.

Following his “we are not cool with each other” verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” Drake would reply to Lamar with a pair of tracks: “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made,” the latter of which would be pulled once the estate of Tupac Shakur sent a C&D and threatened to sue him for the “nonconsensual use of Shakur’s likeness” after Drake used an artificial intelligence-generated version of the late rapper’s voice.

Drake wanted a response from K. Dot… and he certainly got one in the form of “euphoria.”

After starting the song over a sample of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration,” Kendrick then spends the next five minutes — and two different beats — going all the way off on Drake: that AI verse, daring him to speak on his family again, his hypocrisy, casually name-dropping YNW Melly, taking up Pharrell’s side in Drake’s issues with Pusha T, and that he really doesn’t like him.

Well, damn.
