Kendrick Lamar Drops Drake Diss Track Amid Feud
“Kendrick Lamar took his time responding to Drake, but now he’s finally dropped an explosive track aiming to discredit Drake’s claim to everything he raps about in the Black community!!!” TMZ wrote.
“Kendrick’s bombshell, entitled “Euphoria,” is a 6-minute tongue-lashing that rips apart the Toronto rapper’s “tough guy” image. Basically, Kendrick’s calling BS on Drake’s — and his manager Chubbs’ — connections to the underworld.”
Drake in Hot Water Over New Song
Drake doubled down on his diss track “Push Ups.” He dropped an additional diss track entitled “Taylor Made.”
But the new song had an interesting twist. It featured A.I.-generated verses from legendary West Coast rappers Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.
The A.I.-generated verses from Snoop and Tupac were an obvious shot at Lamar. They are two California icons that Kendrick had referenced as his inspiration several times. But trolling could come at a hefty cost for Drake. According to a new report, Tupac’s estate is considering slapping the Canadian-born rapper.
“Tupac Shakur’s estate is threatening to sue Drake over a recent diss track against Kendrick Lamar that featured an AI-generated version of the late rapper’s voice, calling it a “flagrant violation” of the law and a “blatant abuse” of his legacy,” a statement from the late rapper’s estate reads.
Drake has since deleted the song.
