Kendrick Lamar and Drake recently engaged in one of the most legendary rap feuds of all time. Overall, it was a beef that no one saw coming heading into 2024. However, with the “Like That” verse, Kendrick showed the world that he meant serious business. He was no longer going to settle for being part of the Big Three. Instead, he wanted the crown to himself, and the only one willing to challenge him for it was none other than Drake. Well, after May 4th, it became clear that Kendrick was the true heir to the crown as he put up a truly monumental performance.
On April 30th, Kendrick Lamar dropped off his first true diss track against Drake. “Euphoria” came out in the morning and it shocked the world. It was filled with scathing bars directed at Drake, and although it didn’t contain a hook, it made a massive impression. Numerous lines stayed stuck in people’s minds and even today, fans cannot help but blurt out lines at inopportune times. In fact, the song proved to be such a success for Kendrick that it is now platinum.
