Kendrick Lamar finally responded.
Following his “we are not cool with each other” verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” Drake would reply to Lamar with a pair of tracks: “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made,” the latter of which would be pulled once the estate of Tupac Shakur sent a C&D and threatened to sue him for the “nonconsensual use of Shakur’s likeness” after Drake used an artificial intelligence-generated version of the late rapper’s voice.
Drake wanted a response from K. Dot… and he certainly got one in the form of “euphoria.”
After starting the song over a sample of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration,” Kendrick then spends the next five minutes — and two different beats — going all the way off on Drake: that AI verse, daring him to speak on his family again, his hypocrisy, casually name-dropping YNW Melly, taking up Pharrell’s side in Drake’s issues with Pusha T, and that he really doesn’t like him.
Well, damn.
