Kendrick Lamar did not even attempt to be “humble” when it came to his diss track towards Toronto’s favourite rapper Drake.
“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man? ‘Cause I ain’t seen him yet,” one of Lamar’s lyrics reads
The award-winning rapper dropped the brutal diss track titled “euphoria” on Tuesday morning and since then, it’s been the most talked about single in the music world.
The six-minute track is a response to Drake’s two diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” However, the freestyle was removed from Drake’s social media accounts after the rapper used artificial intelligence to rap in the voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
“Push Ups” targeted Lamar, as well as Future and Metro Boomin who collaborated last month to create “Like That,” their diss track to Drake.
“Push Ups” dissed Lamar’s height, shoe size, and his wealth. Meanwhile, “euphoria” took things to a new level and came for Drake’s biracial identity, former sexual assault case, celebrity associates, and more.
In response, some fans believe the rapper absolutely annihilated Drake.
“I think ‘Push Ups’ is the better song, but ‘Euphoria’ is the better diss,” one X user said.
“Off ONE listen of Euphoria I caught hella quotable bars. The production was on point too. This record clears Push Ups easily,” another user said.
“Kendrick woke up this morning and cooked that boy Drake. “When I see you stand next to Sexyy Redd, I believe you see two bad b*tches, I believe you don’t even like women, that’s your real competition, might pop ass with em”, another user commented.
Tuesday night, Drake also responded to the diss track on his Instagram stories with a video of Julia Stiles’ poem from the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You.
As of publication, “euphoria” is the number one trending video on YouTube and is number one on Apple Music U.S.
