Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Breakdown: Every Drake Diss Explained

- A complete breakdown of every shot at Drake in Kendrick's new diss track
Kendrick's response to Drake's recent diss track, “Push-Ups” a direct response to Kendrick Lamar's diss on the track "Like That" from Future and Metro Boomin's album We Don’t Trust You. This comes after Kendrick’s sharp verses targeting Drake and J. Cole, where he dismissed the notion of a "big three" in the rap game, implying he stands above the rest. Kendrick's lyrics on "Like That" not only challenged Drake and J. Cole directly but also alluded to previous collaborations and ongoing rivalries.
edit: youtube is on my dick and copyrighted me for every time I used the song for like more than 2 seconds, so they're making me trim out those parts. sorry if that makes it a little harder to follow along with the song but I feel like by now everyone's heard it multiple times so hopefully shit still makes sense. Also sorry, it's from "The Wiz" not the OG Wizard of Oz. 6:16 breakdown coming soon
lmk what I missed in the comments, feel like we'll be finding new shit in this one for a while. about to graduate in a month, so if this was helpful subscribe for a lot more music analysis and documentaries once I'm out of school. thank y'all for watching
I could be wrong but I feel like daddy a killer bar was more about J prince and J prince junior
@@ApeKingtheIII nah I think that's definitely possible. also just noticed the sopranos reference, can't believe I missed that. Junior Soprano had Alzheimer’s and dementia and couldn’t remember being in the mob, which explains the remembering and Parkinson's part.
@@pearlfountain Brooo thats insane and the Prince family own mob ties streetwear. This bar is the gift that keeps on giving!
Kendrick dropped on April 30th which is the Day of the Child. And then he titled the song Euphoria alluding to Drake being a producer on the TV show that heavily depicts teen sexualization. This is Kendrick saying Drake likes children (teenagers) and then he later calls Drake a child not knowing how to act like a man. Theres layers and levels to this shit
The sample of Richard Pryor isn’t from the original wizard of oz. It’s from the Wiz which is an African American adaptation of the Wizard of Oz.
Euphoria used to come out Tuesdays too
Oh that’s a bad one
& It was realesd on International children day 😅
@watchguy1244 no I didn't, it released 1 week after.
Damn! Kendrick the mother flipping GOAT!
I lover her to death is a reference to hip hop..
At the end when kdot talking in the Canadian slang, he mentions New Ho King which is the restaurant where Drake got robbed at in 2009..nasty work.
😮💨😮💨😮💨
i didn't know that!
I don’t think the real women line was about drakes baby mama I think he meant he preys on young girls who think they’re more grown than they really are, another poke at his predatory behavior.
Seems out of character for Kendrick to imply a pornstar is not a “real woman” as he has spoken a lot on the struggles women face and what might lead them to those paths but he’s never thought of them as lesser women just misguided
👏🏾👏🏾💯🫡
it was a play on all of them... the BM, the young girls (allegedly) and just the Instagram thots/models and groupies with the fake bodies that he's always entangled with
Drakes baby momma had at one point a 50in butt not natural so the real women line still hits
@@manman2588 true
@@manman2588 what does that mean or have to do with this?genuine question, I don't get it.
Kendricks writing ✍️ is TOP TIER!
ELIIITE ‼️😮💨🤌🏽💯

🔥🔥🔥
say something new bruh.
@@mythxqzth8444 the truth is timeless
@@mythxqzth8444 drake is a predator, thats new for you for a die hard Stan
I like that you can hear Kendrick holding his laugh when he says the sexy red line
Id say that’s the funniest line 😂 I’m still laughing every time I hear it
Kendrick had fun with the diss track 😂🔥
He really did 😭🤣🤣🤣
The cat playing with the mouse before dinner.
Realrap
FACTS!
Went fckn crazy
Kendrick is just another level. How he chooses to focus on family over fame will always gain my respect. It's hard to remember why we fight, and he's got the albums to prove where he stands.
✊
Why can't Drake enjoy fame? Why does that bother you lol
@@staysunny170that's a question only Drake can answer
@@staysunny170yeah and Epstein too!
@@staysunny170 drake is enjoying it too, they invite teens at drake mansion. Maybe later hell invite you too, normalize it😂😂😂 that is what stan wants
Kendrick told the truth about Drake and you can confirm each of them, Drake made up a bunch of lies about him. Drake is a puppet, Kendrick is not. Whether you like him or not, Kendrick is completely exposing Drake
Yep and you can’t argue with that there’s levels to this and drake just ain’t got the pin nor the flow of drake and I ain’t no Kendrick Stan real talk
@@gabrielgarza5778Drake doesn’t have the pen or flow of *Drake?*
@@pseudo.dude-oI mean drake definitely doesn’t have the pen💀💀💀..
What's the lies Drake said?
@@RaelonWhite Kendrick wife slept with the body guards, that was a lie. Kendrick never being involved in violence and never stabbed no body, Drake make that up as a poker face move.
The Hate line was an odd to when DMX was in breakfast club and was asked about drake . His response was I hate everything about him then started listing things he hated.😂
He was so bothered 😅 could probably smell the fraud emcee on em 😂😂
DMX said he wanted to beat him up and I can't help but think we shoulda listened to him 😂
Drake uses ghostwriters, Kendrick doesn't. That alone is a win for K-dot.
That's what undernite my skin about drake... You shouldn't be dissing nobody
Right. I meeean he could tho... if he wasn't talkin bout emceeing lol can't claim biggest, best, greatest lyrical MC & take sole credit on homework that was a team effort fr 🤷🏽♀️ talkin bout drop n give em 50 knwin zaaamn well he splittin credit 100wayz when that 💰 come in 🤦🏽♀️😂🤞🏽 @@brightoskar9469
The “whooping feet” is also a double with Crawfords upcoming fight with Boots Ennis.
make that a triple if not a quintuple, given whooping *feat* and it being a reply to Drake's small feet jab
And also whooping feat. like whopping features like on the Like That record.
Boxing 🔥🔥🔥
whooping feet is a form of torture. Look it up.
Dope
“Talk about me and my family crodie, somebody gon bleed in your family crodie “ 🗣️🗣️
What's crazy is NOBODY understands the full meaning of the song title "Euphoria". There was a 2012 Euphoria show about a teenage jewish boy tryna be gangster that was remade into the 2019 version most ppl kno the cover art of the show is telling
Damn Euphoria came out in 2019? It feel so much more recent than that ion know.
@@deadspace297 what don't you know? All you gotta do is Google it and see it came out 2019
BRUH!! that is wild... I just looked that up, CRAZY, the subject matter to dude actually looking like Drake
First new thing I learned here today, I now feel as if I'm fully aware and educated on everything encapsulated into this Diss. Thank you, I knew it wasn't as simple as everyone was trying to make it be with the title. THIS is certainly Kendrick's main play here
@MemphisMo of course bro the nigga kdot deep asf. I couldn't let this connection just go unknown, had to put it out there. I was waiting to see it but nobody was catching it, and it gets deeper than that too.
@@MemphisMo Brother ion even mind the glazing but don't ever post the ugly ass emoji again lmao
Bravo … That whooping feet catch is something ALOT of “reviewers” fall short on realizing it cements the west coast king energy down to the T.
People who say that kendrick diss was corny need to grow up
Drake stans
People that say that Kendricks diss was corny ARE grown. We've been listening to hip hop for 30+ years and we've heard what real disses sound like. This shit was not only corny, but it's trash. Period. Bring back real hip hop. Get this autistic kid Kendrick outta here. He ain't got it.
Gen z and no brains indeed.
BTW this all distraction but man Kendrick came and went his way so 🔥 🤷 👌🏾
Drake fans are the corniest mfers on earth..how can you defend this guy seriously, I'm thinking these people hating are bots
They are drake bots he has on payroll to defend him ☠️
it's from The Wiz, not the Original Wizard of Oz
the wiz the only one we actually know
@@jaychulo.F the wiz is shit compared to the OG. lmao decent movie but still.
@@thesupremety uncultured swine
True true 👍
@@thesupremetydefinitely not. it’s iconic on its own.
I hit play so fast.
real one
GREAT break down……just wish it was longer and you broke it down even more with your opinion 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You want someone else opinion over facts?👀 When did facts not become enough unless you wanna establish a bias…
Kendrick making a Heart Part exposing drake is iconic. Also, shoutout to everyone who thought Cole bodied Kendrick. Y'all will be missed, lmao.
Dayum. What a great video. I like the speed of thr video and how you actually break down the bars with their previous references. No one else is doing this from what i have seen.
That last part 😂 good job, some people don’t remember about what weezy said to em!
Loved the Push Ups Breakdown and love that one too your voice is ✨
appreciate you watching!
I didn’t get the Chinese restaurant bar til i opened Reddit
I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blamy, crodie Tell me you're cheesin', fam We can do this right now on the camera, crodie”
“New Ho King is a Chinese Resturant on Spadina Avenue in Toronto. New Ho King is ALSO where a Toronto rapper named Sizzlac filmed his last music video before being shot and killed.”
And where Drake was robbed and had his chain snatched... presumably Sizzlac was involved in that
I dont know if someone already mentioned this but the I hate you bars are callback to the DMX interview on the breakfast club.
this was huge to miss. no diddy
It's crazy how every major outlet missed this 😕.
Bro this shit is packed with stuff I missed appreciate the breakdown .
Kendrick whisperer here 🙋🏾♂️ It’s not just about being biracial and having a white mom - J.Cole has the same DNA ~ it’s about Drake being born and raised in CANADA 🇨🇦. He doesn’t have the same heritage experience as those of us who are Black Americans. Nigga is OUR word. It’s a cultural respect thing.
I’m sure some will say “Drake’s father is a Black American.” But Drake has referenced in several songs his father wasn’t in his life like that. He only spent like a summer in Memphis with him or something like that. Therefore, when it’s relevant for him to play Black American kayfabe - he does, and thus uses the N word to double down on his downness with Black American culture. And as Kendrick says…. It’s cringy and a very critical type of appropriation. ALL BLACK PEOPLE IN THE U.S. CANNOT SAY NIGGA. It’s deeper than many realize. It use to be a topic of debate early in Drake’s career but I suppose listeners have gotten desensitized to it and interviewers stopped bring it up.
The truth is, Drake is NOT a BLACK American 🇺🇸, his father is. Drake is Canadian and should stick to using Canadian slang, which is why Kendrick hit him with the Canadian slang in the record, like, “This is what you should be sounding like in your songs. Stop saying nigga, that’s not yours to say - you can’t just claim it BECAUSE who your father is.”
Imagine a biracial Black American + Japanese rapper born and raised in Japan saying “nigga” in their songs and tell me that wouldn’t be cringy 🧐
Very well said 🔥
@@culturecounts_ 🫡💯
I’m not black I’m OJ…OKAY!
Revoking everyone’s n word pass outside America is stupid, you aren’t the n word spokesman. You gonna tell UK black people they can’t say the N word?
I don't even think it's about being Canadian as much as it is about Drake just being a lame ass person behind the front. If Drake actually lived the shit he raps about I don't think Kendrick would be calling him out on it. But yeah it's def not about being lightskin that's what the drake riders want it to be so they can claim racism again
Great breakdown 🔥
That j Prince line is crazy! His daddy a killer he wanna be junior they must forgot the shit that they done if things get shaky I’ll park his son 😮 like Parkinson’s
The dementia line I believe is a shot at the J Prince fam.
1 of the hardest lines out the song on God!
How I don’t get ut
@@henryjohnson6936 look it up.
Tell me more... 🧐
@@MemphisMo thats what I been hearing too, but nobody wants to explain.
That verse line about his daddy a killer he wanna be J.R. could be in reference to J.Prince...
Which makes that, yet another, multi-layered entendre.
This is a phenomenal vid. Great job
This was well done, no fluff. Great job
Great Analysis
What a breakdown, fast, concise, dense, and as analytical as it had to be. Perfect
really concise. No bs. good one.
V12 is a fast one, two meanings to that line its crazy
You always break it down the best. 👏👍👍🙌
Bruh, you pretty much covered it!….No further questions your honor 😂
Accurate and amazing breakdown 👏🏾
i gotta say, i LOVE your video style. so many people try to hop on the trends when stuff happens like this. but u are very straight forward and factual. appreciate the quality, u got my sub
Our goat always breaking down everything
Fantastic breakdown and analysis
It’s called the “Wiz” not the wizard of Oz but carry on lol. Well done sir. New sub.
Absolutely the best breakdowns, had no idea it went this deep.
Deeper
When I hear people say this diss is wack I know they are whack.
KDot the goat he went at the 2 biggest artist and he willing to take them on. This kid is blessed.
You need a bettee mic no lie. Great work
Drake going to respond with a hype beat however the winner has already been choosen.
Kendrick lyricism alone clear anything drake can possibly come with now.
bro u r dope tnx for explaining this nuance in this bars it`s perfect
Drake won’t even catch all these bars 😂
You definitely missed the "ring" that kendrick mentioned. Which he's referring to about is the tupac ring that drake purchased at auction for 1M
He did mention it
It’s also crazy how it came out on Tuesday and on Kendrick song cover at the bottom shows the day. And Tuesday was National Honest Day. Kinda just like pusha t when he dissed 40 it was National MLS Day.
Drake did not keep it Canadian like a little Wayne advised him to do.
This was really in depth breakdown , thank you for this actually makes the Song doper now that more people understand what he's really saying
Damn you broke this down like you wrote it. Drake writers probably gotta watch this just to type him a response 😂
The CONTROL beat in the background was a delicious detail to this vid
Great breakdown! Next time if you can speak a bit louder, going between loud Kendrick diss song to quiet talking is hard to keep up (thanks for the subtitles though!!)
Bro, you killed it ❤
This what we really been waiting on
Tava esperando por essa 🙏
que bom que você gostou, obrigado por espera
Tru cease and desist on like that record. Ho what ? You ain’t like that record ? Back To Back I LYT that record, I’ma get back to that for the record.
He doesn’t say like he clearly says LYT (light) that record a reference to Daylyt a battle rapper who was closely affiliated with OVO up until the meek mill beef. The falling out was due to Drake not properly compensating him for writing Back to Back.
Kendrick also says on “Like that” your best work is a LYT (light) pack again referring to Daylyt.
Bonus info: Daylyt has openly admitted he wrote for Drake for years but because he was less popular cuz he a battle rapper Drake took advantage of his pen. Used him and tossed him to the curb. He also has said Drake had something to do with XXXTENTACION murder who he was also close too.
Keep Michael's name out of your mouth
The part about getting off the plane he's saying that since you played with Top's name and called me an extortion baby now Top is going to extort you and tax you every single time you come to Los Angeles which is constantly. and that's not even a threat as much as a promise because Top can tax whoever he wants in this city. "Extortion mama"
This is incredible work. High quality and super succinct. Keep it up!
There's no winner yet. D riding biases aside it's 2-2. If yall think euphoria is a career ender you don't understand rap. Go listen to nail in the coffin or piggy bank.
2:08 you make music that pacify them is also a reference to Dj Akademics (who usually is on the Drake camp) who fell asleep through a listening of a new Drake album while on stream
I think some drake fans need to listen to a break down of kendricks verse so they'll understand. I've seen comments saying that it wasn't good but i really believe they just don't understand what he's saying. Those that do feel like drake just took a head shot and shouldn't even try to reply
I just clicked to tell you there’s no way you could break down this 6 minute diss. Packed full of bars in 8 minutes
Hate-clicking without even confirming your own assertion says more about you than anything. Nearly all of the comments are positive and the only outlier is the 1 jack azz that didnt actually watch the vid.
bruh tf is this video bro you can tell this guy got too lazy and impatient to breakdown the rest and just gave up and uploaded the video wtf 😂😂
Kendrick had a million eggs in this song. Complete exposure. He annihilated him . His work is gonna be studied one day.
Somebody need to send this to gillie cause he obviously dont get it. That or he still writing for ym artists 🤣
U gonna read the lyrics, pause it write it down, Google it to fully understand... this is grown men shit
That hate line he got from DMX breakfast club interview
Good video bro and the outro was hilarious 😂
The Grammys should introduced a new category Best diss track
Hight quality and to the point
Wait where did that lil Wayne interview at the end come from?!😂
"Nah that have you ever part" even with "the 500k on an case" has so many layers it's craaaazzzyyyy, omg Drake!!! Allegedly is all imma say
Kendrick released Euphoria on a Tuesday; "Going up, on a Tuesday" 🎉
Wdym by Michael Jackson behaviour? The Prince vs MJ comparison that was referenced before or what? Cos when it comes down to it - all the ninjas involved in this beef grew up on his music & have been influenced one way or another….
Edit: forgot to say it was a solid breakdown 👏🏾
Pedophilia (Mike ain't do it)
When he's talking about that cease and desist. It's more important to note that this mainly had to do with Ye dropping a remix on the song like that, where he's going and making fun of Drake as well. Given how Ye's back in the spotlight now, and making even better numbers than drake with his recent stuff. It makes sense for Drake to have such an overreaction and have Like that taken ddown.
Because if you tried to listen to that remix on youtube, it would say the content is blocked throughout the country.
You missed a lot but did a great job.👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a fan of your vids I have to say please stop with the clickbait
Learnt so much thanks a lot! I think the “Crodie” lines were about Drake’s cat btw lol, Kendrick said to not mention his family cos Drake mentioned Whitney (Kendrick’s wife) in Push Ups
double entendre
The dementia line is about J Prince and his family after Takeoff was killed in Houston. Jazz prince is the one who found Drake and brought him to Wayne back in the day, that’s why Drake moves the way he does its Mob Ties!
The word euphoria definition
The example of the word definition
Series euphoria sexualizing high school kids
Drakes allegations of high school age kids
Drake being a producer of the show
There's your quintuple entendre Aubrey
Look up the show Euphoria from 2012
bro you should narrate a lil bit slower, like where are you rushing tooo
Thought this was pretty well done, I fished the comments and peeped some of the criticisms so I'll say this: the audio was fine for me, I could hear you well enough, I didn't hear any wild, crazy, loud, noises, no crazy volume imbalances (Disclosure: I'm listening to it with one headphone halfway on my head) and that you hit on about 70-80% of your points with accuracy. Nobody will get it all right, people will miss things and not decipher every little piece and double, triple, quadruple entendre that was laid out here ESPECIALLY within 24 hours of hearing it for the first time unless they know these 2 dudes personally and intimantly. Most of these people have watched 30 other reaction and breakdown videos + scoured the comment section to get the information they've attempted to correct you on and now pretending to be know it alls. Like it you kept it short sweet and efficient while still hitting A LOT of the key points most casuals or those who haven't been following intently may have missed. Keep up the good work and use the critiques to better improve going forward I guess.
Appreciate all the feedback bro, definitely gonna take all the comments to heart and just make sure the next one is as clean as possible. That’s the thing about these breakdowns though, the criticism is fair for the stuff I got wrong but for the stuff I missed it’s like we won’t know what it all means until a while from now anyway, the best we can do is start with what we know and keep the conversation going. I do really fw reading all the comments and finding new stuff so I appreciate them either way. Thanks for watching
✊🏾
0:54 the original “The Wiz” not The Wizard of Oz
I read this as it played I'm like bro that don't even sound possible
wait how do we know its an adonis voice impersonation?
Released it on National Honesty Day too
CRAZZY LMAO
Best breakdown I've heard yet
the joe jackson is actually insane
According to a RUclips comment I saw on another video said the New Ho King shout + the "nobody ever ate my food" line was referencing a specific incident Drake had with another Toronto rapper, Sizzlac, in his early career. Can't remember the details rn
Am I tripping or was you calling Richard Pryor Michael Jackson lol
Mike in the Movie too, he's the Cowardly Lion but the Wiz of course really fits because... ya know... fake, hiding behind that persona along with literally "everything they say about me (him/Drake) is true" from K-Dot to Ross to Pusha etc etc
@@MemphisMo oh damn I didn’t know Mike was in the movie haha
I love this...he also quoted DMX
The pray for my city line was aimed at J Prince Jr and Sr .
By a long mile. This is the best break down so far
Why did you leave out I park his son 😂😩
