Stereogum — Just over a month ago, Kendrick Lamar kicked off a whole series of rap storylines when he went after both Drake and J. Cole in his surprise guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That.” The track ignited tensions that have been simmering for more than a decade, and it kicked off a whole lot of activity. “Like That” debuted at #1, J. Cole responded and then retracted his response, and Drake went after Kendrick on his own songs “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle,” the latter of which features fake AI verses from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. Now, Kendrick Lamar has finally fired back at Drake on the furious six-minute diss track “Euphoria.” more info
