In the ever-dramatic world of rap beefs, Kendrick Lamar has fired back at Drake’s recent diss tracks with his latest single, “Euphoria.”
The two heavyweight rappers have been trading lyrical blows for a while now, but Lamar’s “Euphoria” takes the feud to a whole new level.
The Backstory: Lamar vs. Drake
The feud between Lamar and Drake has been simmering for quite some time, with each artist taking shots at the other in their music.
It all started when Lamar dropped some pointed lyrics aimed at Drake in his track “Like That.” Not one to back down, Drake responded with his own diss tracks, “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
The latter track caused quite a stir as it featured vocals that sounded eerily similar to the late 2Pac, courtesy of artificial intelligence.
This move did not sit well with 2Pac’s estate, who issued a stern warning to Drake. In response, Drake removed the controversial track from his social media platforms.
“Euphoria”
Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” starts off on a mellow note but quickly ramps up as Lamar takes aim at Drake.
In the first verse, Lamar accuses Drake of being a “master manipulator and habitual liar” and warns him not to spread lies about him.
The intensity of the track builds as Lamar’s lyrics become more direct and cutting. He cleverly references Drake’s name and the Draco Pistol, recounting an incident where he learned from his mistakes while handling the firearm.
Lamar also takes a swipe at Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” hinting that he would rather double his earnings than let a Canadian rapper disrespect 2Pac’s legacy.
The Verdict
Lamar’s “Euphoria” is a bold and unapologetic response to Drake’s diss tracks. It showcases Lamar’s lyrical prowess and his willingness to stand up for himself in the face of criticism.
Whether this will mark the end of the feud between the two rappers remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – “Euphoria” has definitely stirred up the hip-hop world.
Conclusion
In the fast-paced world of hip-hop, feuds and diss tracks are par for the course. Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” is the latest chapter in his ongoing feud with Drake, and it’s clear that neither artist is backing down.
As fans eagerly await Drake’s response, one thing is certain – this feud is far from over.
