Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Kendrick Lamar finally responded to Drake‘s “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle” with his own fiery single “Euphoria.” Produced by Sounwave, Cardo and Kyro, the song clocks in at six minutes, 24-seconds and has plenty of disses to unpack.
Throughout “Euphoria,” Lamar goes after a number of things he doesn’t like about Drake, like the way he talks, the way he dresses, the way he walks and the way he raises his son. He also touches on the 6 God’s dating life and even takes a shot at Lil Yachty for collaborating with Drizzy.
The song’s subject matter and the two-and-a-half week wait have been the main topics of conversation over the past 24 hours. People on social media have either been dissecting double entendres or reaching for the stars in hopes that their theories will go viral. As it turns out, celebrities are no different; rappers and athletes-turned-pundits have decided to chime in as well with their own two cents.
So far, the consensus is somewhat split. Gillie Da Kid of Million Dollaz Worth of Game called the record “corn on the cob,” KXNG CROOKED disagreed with Gillie, Mysonne was flabbergasted at the thought of people saying Kendrick’s response was mid, Cam and Mase think Drake is still in the lead, Rick Ross had more jokes, and Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson of the All the Smoke podcast were impressed and excited about what’s to come. Creators have even gotten in on the discussion with the RDC guys quickly flipping a skit about the impact of Kendrick’s song.
