According to Consequence, Kendrick Lamar has hit back at Drake with “euphoria,” which is a response to Drake’s recent diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Summed up into three parts, “euphoria” starts with a chilled beat, where a relaxed Lamar calls Drake “a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
In the song, the artist states: “The famous actor we once knew is lookin’ paranoid, now it’s spiraling,” Kendrick scoffs, before accusing Drake of being a liar on multiple levels. “Fabricate stories on the family front, ’cause you heard Mr. Morale/ A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now/ You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
While referencing “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Lamar adds: “Somebody had told that me you got a ring, on God, I’m ready to double the wage/ I rather do that, than let a comedian n****a make Pac turn in his grave.”
The hatred between Kendrick and Drake goes back nearly a decade ago and in March, Lamar took things to a different level on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” by calling out Drake and J. Cole for their 2023 hit “First Person Shooter.”
Cole struck back first with his own diss track, “7 Minute Drill” but quickly apologized and removed it from streaming services entirely.
Recently, Drake shared a new diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle”, featuring deepfake vocals made to sound like Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Days later, Shakur’s estate filed a cease and desist letter, in which they threatened to file a lawsuit if Drake did not pull it from social media.
