- Euphoria isn't the best diss track of all time but I believe it's one of the best chess moves I've seen in a long time. (Disclaimer) I am not paid by either side these are genuinely MY OPINIONS. #rap #hiphop #kendricklamar #drake

The only thing you got wrong in this video is where the reversed audio is from in the beginning of the track. It’s not from euphoria. It’s from a 1978 reimagining of The Wizard of Oz called The Wiz. The reversed audio is a line from Richard Pryor who plays as the supposed Wiz saying, “Everything they say about me is true. I’m a phony.”
And to add another layer to this reference, Michael Jackson is in this movie as The Scarecrow who’s hoping The Wiz will give him a brain. This ties into the whole narrative of Drake comparing himself to Michael Jackson.
yeah i was looking for this comment bc it was just wrong straight up and takes away a bit from the subtle diss too
Damn I just made a comment about this only to scroll down and see this😂
Dropped at 8:24am Tuesday tribute to Kobe. Also learned the intro beat Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration” was sampled on the track. Without giving away too much, he briefly described Pendergrass’ situation. “Teddy Pendergrass got into a car accident and had to live the rest of his life paralyzed in a wheelchair,”
Same! Masters in cybersecurity
i really hopes he reads this cause that's the only part that ticked me off.
Kendrick was even on the Canadian news 😅 he definitely up
Murder report, the news is at 6
The way I cackled when the Restaurant Owner played the Diss Track to the Reporter 😩🤣😭😭🤣
@@CrownedxKayif that’s not promo to y’all than sheesh
@@CrownedxKay Nigga head boppin n shit. He was feelin it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also on FOX26 NEWS and Inside The NBA with Shaq and Chuck
The opening segment isn’t from the show Euphoria. It’s from the movie the wiz where in the end the Wiz reveal he’s a phony. Otherwise great video 👍🏾
Yooo been watching since the MWN days! 🔥🫡
I hate content addiction, I’m out here watching videos about something I kind of care about but really dont and also everything said I already know :/ imma go read a book
My rebuttal to that is it’s A ok to do both or whatever else. Just give yourself a time limit with the activities if that helps.
You posted this right after the video was posted and the video is 40 mins long
I dont gaf
Moderation is 🔑 key indeed.
It's the worst
This Diss is incredible and layered. Kendrick attacks Drake from multiple angles using themes:
1. Starting with the title: Euphoria, you're on a high and you need to come down. Also, Drake is the exec producer of the HBO show which glamorizes Teenage/underage sex.
2. Richard Pryor as the Wiz admitting to being a phony and Michael Jackson plays the scarecrow in which the scarecrow hopes the Wiz will give him a brain. (Drake is a chameleon, mimics accents, takes from Atlanta artists, steal from other genres without giving credit, uses ghostwriters)
3. Teddy Pendergrass Sample: Grown man music playing while talking to the boy, also Teddy Pendergrass was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life after an accident(Drake was known as wheelchair Jimmy {Actor})
Its so much in this diss. I hope what's the dirt catches everything . Kendrick does not like this man. It's on.
What do you think about further implications within his reaping what you sow lines along with the Dodge Hellcat and Demon and their type will sell their souland their homies soul's, also wonder if there's any inference to Joe Exotic from Tiger King? I think he's saying Drake's selling soul's and living demonically via youth sexual idolatry etc.
Wyt friend?

Push ups is like McDonald's it's quick and easy while euphoria is like Ruth's Chris it takes a minute but it's high class and worth the wait.
Euphoria could have been made by any 16year old battle rapper. Basic if you ask me

Anyone saying pushups is a better track is an admittal of 3 things:
1.) casual rap fan
2.) lacks reading comprehension
3.) under 16 yrs old
Facts
Straight facts!
Ah yes anyone who disagrees with my opinion lacks reading comprehension and is a child. People who tend to say this are the actual ones lacking.
Exactly this is a rap battle I thought better bars delivery skills subject matter
Casual Rap fan but not under 16 and I have to read a lot for university. Push ups is more mainstream pop and therefore easier to listen to and vibe. Euphoria is better but not everyone can jam to it. I don’t know if you get what I’m trying to say.
I bet people didn’t pay attention to the fact that inside of the definition of the euphoria art work it says “They had almost a week to recover from the euphoria of Tuesday's series-winning victory”
And he dropped on a Tuesday, he has something up his sleeves 🤯
Someone told me that tonight and I was like WOAHHHHHH
Crazy Theory: Drake got sum to do with the YSL Trial or & least he a snitch
Only saying this cuz of the 2 album titles “we don’t trust you” & “we still don’t trust you”
Future had a line on the intro track “pillow talkin actin like a fed dawg”
“Make Gunna wunna look like a saint”
Almost all of ATL switched up (future metro baby)
Idk if I’m crazy lmk
Interesting take
ive been thinking the same thing drake was so affiliated with atlanta rappers in recent years especially future and thug now thug is in jail and future dont fw drake
prolly not it would've been known and blasted out there
“Make gunna wunna look like a saint” can also be another pedo bar towards drake. What’s worse than a snitch in prison?
@@souljaspirits7311 i feel it might have some truth to it, just cause rumours about drake usually don’t get much motion, drake had rumours of a child for a long time, before push made it public
That classics line is actually crazy. So allegedly on Drakes take care album half of those songs were originally made by the weekend when he was supposed to sign to Drake. So when Kendrick says "Let your core audience stomach that then tell them we're you got your ABS from". Abs being a shortened form of ALBUMS. He saying if we find out who really wrote most of his best work we might have to stomach the fact that Drake doesn't actually have classics made by him. He's alluding to more of his music being ghost writing than we would want to believe. And even my first listen when He said he don't have no classis I was like "He at least got 1 😂" and I was thinking of take care. So with people having reactions like that, if we found out this allegation was true, It would truly be hard to stomach not just as a Drake fan, but as anyone whose ever enjoyed his music.
Except Kendrick has multiple cowriters on his diss track, so who is he to talk abt Drake using writers?
@@Z4NKA1 you do know samples include credits to the writers of the original joint right? Any HIPHOP fan knows that
I dont think it was half. Think(?) it was less. But he has a point to call into question if take care is a classic when he bit off the weeknd
@@Hellismary a sample wouldn’t go to writers credits 😂 is this comment serious? He only used 1 sample in the song as well
The weekend COwrote 4 songs bro drake already explained this under a ig post
I haven't seen anyone talk about the numbers. I don't care about numbers but that's Drake's whole thing. Funny how Euphoria is whooping push ups on the number front
I don't fw drake but it was out for a week before it officially dropped so the numbers aren't accurate. Not that they matter tho as you said
Ngl gotta agree with @jamessmyth6100 here. He’s being fair🤝🏾 Love the way the rap game is alive again
@@jamessmyth6100no one’s fault that Drake leaked his own song cos he was unsure if it’s hard enough.
@@Zeiny905this point tho..:. Drake had to test the waters
You making up fairy tales. All we know is it leaked. Not why or how@Zeiny905
Drake’s albums if anything aren’t hip hop classics. Them shits might be pop classics or cult classics or idk I feel like we give him classics cuz he himself is one of the biggest artists of all time. But I think those albums stay in the time they were released. Nobody playing or thinking about those albums like that nowadays. Or not as often as they think about Damn, TPAB, GKMD, Not even tryna gas it.
Tpab, gkmc and damn aren’t hip hop classics either. Most of the hype three get is within Kendrick’s fanbase and people who usually don’t like rap
@@Z4NKA1 You are out of your goddamn mind saying GKMC isn't a Hip-Hop classic. Remove yourself from this conversation.
@@Z4NKA1certified clown moment
@@DeeMulaah no one considers those classics except Kendrick fans 😂 name 1 classic song off that album then?
@@Z4NKA1Complete and utter nonsense, gotta be trolling
Over 40 minutes?? I'm here for it!!
I feel like the "whopping feet" line is him playing into the short jokes Drake was making. Basically saying, even if he couldn't reach his face, he would whop him some other way .
Nah homie....whooping feet is a Cali term meaning that you beat a person so bad that they even lost their shoes....
Apparently it’s LA slang for beating someone out the shoes.
@@lyndellbrown1169 I literally never heard anyone say that in LA. Not sure if it’s new or an old school term. I’m the same age as Kendrick lol
Drake has no “red button” to push. I believe we’ve heard the best version of Drake vs Dot that he can do. He’s too predictable. I honestly believe Drake was hoping Kendrick didn’t drop bc he can’t outthink him or out rap him. Hence why he runs back to antics and gimmicks like a child would do, & even that doesn’t bother Dot.
He barely even talked abt Kendrick in push ups, a full diss track on him is more than enough
@@Z4NKA1 He’ll bore us before he makes it a min into the song
@@terryjoho the first minute of Kendrick’s diss was an RNB beat and him whispering. Why would drakes be boring?
@@Z4NKA1 We get it. You don’t want to think when hearing a diss track. Just a bass heavy beat to dance to. Something surface level. We get it 😂
@@terryjoho"you don't wanna hear me, you just wanna see me dance" it's too real and it's getting annoying especially when this whole thing is supposed to be a diss beef
"J Prince is s good dude" 😂😂😂😂 he be knocking ppl off...hit...man
Drake is actually did ask the label to take down like that record.
“The very first time I shot me a drac” is likely a double entendre in reference to shooting a Draco pistol.
The more you listen the better
Both tracks, honestly.
@@21kburddefinitely not. Push Ups sounds amateurish compared to euphoria. Kendrick and his pen are in another spehre
@M.Dot47 Kendrick's writing is not as crazy as you think. He is a great artist, overall but as a pure MC, he is nowhere near the level of guys like Ghostface Killah or Biggie.
@@21kburd okay?
Push ups isn’t catchy bruh how many times u heard song sound like this from drake 😂 smh he really pacified y’all
Drake did blackface and euphoria chronicles all the other fuck-shit he's done and NONE OF THOSE have impacted his career. About the only thing that could end drake's career is some criminal charges. Drake in terms of "pop" appeal is like the Donald Trump of hip-hop (and I mean truly that and all the connotations that come with it).
Was waiting for this one 💪🏿
Honestly this was a phenomenal video bro. I’m excited for the other disses to come out and hear your take.
Been waiting to hear your take 🫡
Great video!
push ups beat is super boring to me, it's an ok response but I'm not coming back to that one
Facts
Man that like me saying kdot song was trash just sound like a hater
@@phxfarmer4844🗣️I’M THE BIGGEST HATER 🗣️
@@phxfarmer4844You sound butthurt lol. His opinion is what it is. How is he hating by saying the song was just ok....which is pretty accurate
@@craxyman9025 ok but then when i say one word about euphoria, i get attacked by these kdot glazers.
He saying drake aintbgot classic because half the song in" take care" and "nothing is the same" were songs from other people. Again half the songs that topped tje chart were more pop than hip pop if you get
Facts. The Weeknd gave up half of his own album for Take Care. IYRTITL had the OVO Sweatshop, Quentin Miller and others on the handle.
40 minutes to distract me from work lets goooo
Been waiting on this video for like 48 hrs
this is the breakdown i needed justice
Great commentary as always
Fire video bruh seeing you grow has been so fye you next up bruh!🔥🔥
gotta give this a like for the long form video! amazing content 🔥
Aye man I appreciate you posting this , I’ve been getting into your content as of late I fuck with your videos bro 💪🏾
Let’s goooo 40+ minute pay video, this the shit I like
This aged brilliantly. A lot of good foresight. Well done
The whole song talking about Drake liking younger girls just say it
10:19 no, the backwards sound bite is from Richard Prior in The Wiz starring Michael Jackson & Diana Ross. The part towards the end where Richard gets exposed as a fraud and not “the real” Wiz of Oz. It also doubles as a call back to all the MJ references they’ve been tossing back and forth at each other cause Michael is in the movie playing the Scarecrow.
Also "The Wiz" in the movie as a character ran everything in the Oz world and everybody knew who he was and would say he's the all great and powerful like Drake is looked at in mainstream hiphop due to his popularity
Kendrick got a diss that just keeps coming and giving you new stuff to think about
Beginning clip is actually from The Wiz to show comparisons to Drake and Wiz who was praised figure but everything about the wiz was a lie. The Wiz built his identity on lies he would spread and protect harshly.
The intro isn’t from Euphoria it’s from “the wiz”. It’s Richard Pryor
Tommy Hilfiger was quoted as being circumspect about the Hip Hop communities enthusiasm for his clothing. It was enough for us to stop wearin his stuff. He never actually said anything racist, but his lack of enthusiasm was enough.
Jay Z used this as a strategy for his Ace of Spades. NEW VIDEO IDEA
40+ minutes? Let's fucking goooo!
Kendrick fully wrote euphoria, drake had another writer with him on push ups. It's a clear winner
Also the part where k dot sing "we don't wanna hear you say N no more" is a reference to kanye's line "we don't wanna hear that weak shyt no more" from get em high.
26:59 You trippen bro lol Gunna definitely snitched we can’t let no 🐀 slide😂.
Notice the look at the end of that😂
Finally someone taking the time😂🙌
The backwards opening line is actually from film The Wiz, not Euphoria.
PLEASE do a followup on "Meet The Grahams" Justice! Thank you!
To be honest, like you said at the end how Drake could be petty and do something really stupid, that’s kind of what I thought he would do anyway. Personally I think the AI song was a bit petty, but push-ups was way better than I expected.
NGL Looking back at this. Euphoria just looks like bait. He baited Drake to come back at him, prepared the response in meet the grahams using info from his mole, prepared not like us as his victory lap, and then as soon as Drake bit . . . hook, line, and sinker. Drake's career is fucking over bruh.
nice video! i really like your tiktok content too bro
I am with you on tne gunna reference.
The algorithm is hiding your vids bro, great upload tho !!
Your opinions are valid
euphoria was so fire it got pay sweating in his room just talkin about it
Euphoria goes crazy in the gym
These are body shots from a heavy weight power puncher. He got those ribs tender right now.
the cease and desist bar was for the fact that drake tried to cad ‘like that’ off of radio
Buddy you hit the nail on the head I don’t like drake but push ups is a good song but euphoria is a better diss. Its duppy vs story of adidon all over again
You nailed the accent at the end lol
you been on a crazy run since this beef started ngl
I loooove you
Poisoning the well fallacy is crazyyyyyy
19:37 ya done 😂😂😂😂😂
Friendly fade is obviously sarcasm 😂
I aint even think about it loke that, great chess move from kendrick
Aye Brotha no hate or nothing but I feel you should get a mic stand idk just my opinion. Not even looking for clout but like if y’all agree. Idk I feel it’ll be better or at least try it out. Keep the grind tho Brotha
Ain’t no way your hand not tired after 40 minutes 😂
You do very well by highlighting the fact that Kendrick positioned himself to always be not only the responder but always playing offense. He never really had to play defense. Very strategic.
I would say Drake doesn’t have a *unanimous* classic, whereas the hip-hop community is pretty much in complete agreement that GKMC is an undeniable classic
So isDAMN and TPAB
Nwts????
@@zacharyochoa7838not unanimous, if people have to argue which one was a classic then it probably shouldn’t be considered classic
@@AudioTheory okay, damn is absolutely not a classic, it’s a boring pop album. Mr morale is not a classic, tpab isn’t a classic
WE EATING GOOD 44 min holyyyyy
Kendrick is playing with his food before he eats it... Sort of like a cat does a mouse when he finally catches it.. he wants Drake to try to fight back so it's apparent how powerless he is win the haymaker comes.. Drake came out throwing feints, Kendrick came out throwing jabs, he hasn't even threw a straight/cross yet
🐐
Feet also means the boxer that Terrence was suppose to fight his name is boots… but they saying he ducking
40 MINUTE VIDEO?!
The reversed Audio is Richard Pryor saying "everything they say about me is true!" In the movie "The Wiz"
Drake is spending too much time on social media to still be Media illiterate. I can't believe he misunderstood "mother i sober ' 3 days after Kendrick said he'll use the mr morale album for dirt on Kendrick. Wtf is with dude?!
Lol that was Richard Pryor in the reversed beginning my dude.
17:22 bro I think this is about a possible SA case that Drake might be linked to from Billie Eillish. Idk why, but it feels that way
"hey yall, he's about to lie on me" lmao
Drake does not have a cultural consensus on any album being a classic. Kendrick does. So i don’t believe that is cap. Opinionated, maybe. But cap? idk bout that one. Ik many ppl, including myself who are extremely into hip hop and don’t believe he has a classic album.
Drake really doesnt have a classic album. Teenagers will argue otherwise but they havent even experienced good music yet
35:25 it’s the fact that dude was monotone reading the lyrics whole time til this part😭
Lost me at saying the beginning is someone from the show …. HUH ?
That clip isnt from euphoria bro thats from the OZ with richard pryor said everything they say about me is true
Great vid though
🐐
Im glad the rap game switched servers and went from Pubs to Ranked Mode!!! I’m tryna see who NUMBA 1!!!!😤
Yall being surprised that he keep naming random people after he literally said “ I’ll diss Melle Mel if I have too” in Like That is crazy
The line inreverse was richard pryor from thr wiz
Haven’t replayed push ups once, good diss, but euphoria been on repeat, that shyt hits hard speakers up in the whip 🔥
Yall need to listen to the audio of weezy saying “you cant come over here and think you can roll like weezy, keep it canadian man” 😂😂😂
The reversed audio q
Was from Richard pryor in the wiz
drake did the cease and desist on the kanye like dat remix to be petty cause kanye hates the petty subliminal disses that drake does
good vid while eating 🍽️
Drake doesn’t have a classic. He just makes good songs.
I agree
It’s not clip from the show in reverse…… it’s the late great Richard Pryor in the movie The Wiz…..
9:51 it’s not even allegations anymore. If you saw that video of him on stage. Iykyk i suppose
Fr, the video where he told the 17 year old he like the way her boos feel on him for anyone who don't know 🤮
@@COOKIEM260crazy how she aint even graduate and he would be 6-7 years removed from high school
small but brilliant chess move was telling the audience there's static in the audio, will Drake say the n-word in his next diss? it's going to stick out like a sore thumb
The start of round two? So it’s not RD1 FPS vs Like that,RD2 PU vs Euphoria?
Nah neither of those songs are diss songs. There are disses there but the rds don’t start until full diss songs come out in my opinion.
Bro sweating while he’s breaking down the bars 😂
I know music is subjective but Euphoria is a better track to listen to. I liked Push Ups when it dropped but really can’t go back to it. Beat is boring and Drake’s rapping is monotone. Kendrick’s euphoria is hype and quotable. Also always going back to learn something new with his word play and hidden meanings.
Went to a Club one night they played Push Ups and it was dead. They played Like That the room was lit with people singing. Feel the same will happen with Euphoria.
Michael Jackson has a song called Ben(Benjamin), about his pet rat. The verses are so detailed its crazy. He could be calling Drake a rat or further alluding to the dirt he mentions in the Gunna line, saying he has rats who have info on drake that he's not spilling unless drake goes nuclear.
The line in reverse is a reference to the Wiz, Richard Pryor is playing the wizard and he gets exposed and says “everything they say about me is true, I’m a fraud” Kendrick just uses everything they say about me is true. The Wiz also starred Michael Jackson as the scarecrow… it’s multiple references, but not related to the show Euphoria
Honestly, if I was Drake, I’d probably throw in the towel, but he’s so prideful know he’s not going to. I just hope whatever dirt he has on Kendrick is good. It’s a great time to be a content creator lol
