    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.

    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.

      I don't think that even crossed too many people's minds. Possibly bc most don't consider the initial definition of "lame". I, personally, don't typically use that word just bc of the ableist connotation that's attached to it. Anyhoo good find!

      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.

      "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.

    I think that 'everybody wanna be demons til they get chipped by a throwaway' line goes EVEN further.

Until you hear that later angle, this meaning could be dismissed as a throwaway. God damn, Kendrick...

      The only one wearing a mask is Kendrick’s fake black messiah act. 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.

    What you and a lot of analysts of this beef missed about why Kendrick choosing the Teddy Pendergrass sample: He was signaling black culture. This is a beloved song and artist in the culture. Any time this song comes on, most Black Americans have a visceral reaction to this song, because it's one we grew up hearing at family barbeques and cookouts. Our parents listened to this song in the house on heavy repeat. It's woven into the fabrics of black culture. This song is a cultural cache piece. As soon as I heard that sample it let me know he was having a conversation with US. The same US he was talking to at the end of his diss tracks in the Not Like Us Song. This was Kendrick leaning into his whole point of Drake being an colonizer and outsider. Kendrick was essentially reminding Drake that he could tap into something he doesn't have: cultural cache.

    Very first time I shot me a Drake (which is a male duck) 🦆 I thought this was a duck hunting line, you need to aim low. He didn’t aim low enough the first time he dissed him when he saw how low he would go talking about family, he would not make the mistake to go easy on Drake the next time he dissed him as he sees he is low. Plus the safest position in Duck hunting is called Back-to-Back.
