Alright guys, so this one took awhile. I know I am behind but I am trying to do my very best with each and every one of these diss tracks. I don't care about "gaming" the algorithm, I just want the best job that I can. Kendricks Euphoria track has a lot of depth and a lot of cultural references in it. The overall theme and premise of the record itself was entirely missed. I hope you enjoy this!!!!!!

You missed a really sneaky part about shooting the drake line. Firstly a drako has a LOT of kickback because it’s a shortened AK-47, so the recoil forces you to aim down to adjust for hitting your target accurately. It’s a triple entendre.

Everyone laughing to this old ass dude saying he keeps the writings of this dude since it is top tier prose but doesn't like loud noises being taken as a joke, but this dude just looking ELATED just reading away. If you happen to know a English lit professor, slide em some lyrics and don't tell em who or what originally, it's literal cat nip. 💀

I just realized another double entendre: “once a lame always a lame.” The word lame obviously means wack, but it also means someone who is unable to walk like many people in ♿️. Kendrick was referencing Wheelchair Jimmy and Drake basically always being that guy from that era of his career, always being the actor Aubrey Graham just playing Drake the role of his lifetime.

He used Kendrick’s own trauma against him to not only be disrespectful since it’s a diss battle, but show why Kendrick is repeating the same cycle as his mom by projecting into drake. The same way she did to him.

Said the same thing. Joel Osteen is also a megapastor with an occult following but has proven to be a fake (like drake). Ex: during the devastating floods in TX ppl were driven out there homes and went to his church for refuge and he turned them away. It made national news and he got so much backlash that he let ppl in.

The drac line is deeper than surface level.. he’s implying that he’s taken indirect shots at drake b4 but this time he will make it direct and won’t miss. He does this by comparing it to shooting a draco and aiming straight as if they on the same level only To realize that the kickback on some automatics is so strong that the gun pulls up and the shots go over your targets head. So this time he aims lower to ensure he hits his target.

Another detail I noticed in the "I make music that electrify-em" is that he's saying his music is electrifying and shocking, alluding to the beat switching up and shocking people. Also, in the part where he says "pacify-em", it is also a play on words that could be interpreted as "pass as fine", of course saying his music can pass as fine but isn't ground-shaking.

"There's 3 GOATs left, and I see 2 of em hugging and kissing on stage." I agree, as harsh as this record is, Kendrick took shots at Drake and Cole while still giving them props and, in fact, subtly acknowledging that they are the Big 3. I haven't seen anybody catch and comment on what's happening in this line. Drake probably should have toned it down a bit after this song, but he turned it up and got shot out of the sky. Kendrick actually confirms himself, Cole, and Drake as the Big 3, and Drake not catching it to save himself some heartache is WILD. This line also shows that Kendrick was just shooting friendly fire on "Like That" with mothaf*** the Big 3, cause he was willing to come full circle and seemingly contradict himself, unless Cole or Drake felt triggered and wanted to come after him, which Drake took the bait for and jumped all in.

Imagine acting like a voice for the people then using that influence to tear another black man down just because he doesn’t like him. Drake has always been apart of the culture since he was with his dad in Memphis as a kid. Lil wayne signed him. He’s made constant classic songs that the whole community played for over a decade. He’s helped out tons and tons of black artists boost their careers when he didn’t have to. He’s never once denied his culture. Kendrick is really the biggest hypocrite and manipulator 💀
