Kendrick Lamar fires back at Drake with a brutal diss track titled “Euphoria”

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Kendrick Lamar has fired back at Drake with a blistering diss track titled “Euphoria.” The feud between these two heavyweight rap artists has reached new heights, and “Euphoria” is the latest salvo in their ongoing battle. Let’s dive into the scorching lyrics and dissect the drama behind this explosive track.

The feud: A decade-long rivalry

Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been at odds for over a decade. It all began in 2013 when Lamar dropped a bombshell verse on Big Sean’s track “Control,” where he expressed his desire to “murder” Drake and other prominent rappers. Fast forward to 2024, and the tension remains palpable.

“Euphoria”: Unleashing the fury

Lamar’s “Euphoria” doesn’t hold back. The 6-minute track takes direct aim at Drake, leaving no room for misinterpretation. Here are some scathing highlights from the lyrics:

1. Drake, the scam artist: Lamar doesn’t mince words. He labels Drake a “pathetic master manipulator” and a “habitual liar.” According to Lamar, Drake isn’t a true rap artist; he’s a “scam artist.”
2. Paranoia and spiraling: Lamar suggests that the once-famous actor (referring to Drake’s acting stint on “Degrassi: The Next Generation”) now appears paranoid and spiraling out of control.
3. Black enough?: Lamar questions Drake’s authenticity, asking how many more Black features it will take for him to feel “Black enough.” This likely alludes to Drake’s biracial identity and the controversies surrounding it.
4. Fatherhood and Adonis: Lamar takes a shot at Drake’s relationship with his son, Adonis, implying that Drake lacks understanding of fatherhood.

The not-so-subtle title

If the lyrics weren’t clear enough, the title itself speaks volumes. “Euphoria” is a not-so-subtle reference to Drake, who serves as a producer on the HBO series of the same name. Lamar leaves no doubt about his target.

Drake fired back with two diss tracks of his own: “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” However, the latter was pulled after legal threats related to an AI voice imitation of Tupac Shakur. The feud continues, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next move.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” is a scorching indictment of Drake’s character and career. As the battle rages on, one thing is certain: the hip-hop world won’t forget this explosive diss anytime soon. Stay tuned for further developments in this epic rivalry.
