Kendrick Lamar and Drake started out as bros, guesting on each other's albums ("Buried Alive Interlude," "Poetic Justice"). But their bromance shattered after Lamar threw shade at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin's track "Like That." Drake retaliated with a double dose of diss tracks: "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made." Lamar wasn't about to take that lying down, and came back at Drake with the release of "Euphoria" on April 30, 2024 via Interscope.
The song is a full-on assault on Drake, taking aim at both his career and personal life. This isn't friendly competition but pure, unadulterated hatred: "This ain't been 'bout critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest," Lamar spits. "It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress."
The title is a double whammy. It's a jab at the teen drama television series Euphoria that Drake executive produces, as well as the feeling Lamar has after finally letting loose all this pent-up rage.
