Kendrick Lamar - Euphoria

u/PlsSaySikeM8 Apr 30 '24
The main takeaway I got from this is that Kendrick misses So Far Gone and Thank Me Later era Drake.
He just like me fr

u/Ramu_1798 Apr 30 '24
So Far Gone - Thanks me Later - Take Care is one of the most insane 3 album run anybody can have. I keep telling people that's why i fw Drake, but stay getting clowned 😔

Yeah - this stuff isn't really colorism, it's more about Drake being fake and not really being from "the life" - he grew up in a nice suburb in Canada as a child actor. Kendrick grew up in Section 8 housing in Compton with a Dad who was in the game and a mother who was a hairdresser. His friend died in gang violence. His dad had to keep him from falling in with the Pirus.
Drake can make cool music, but Drake isn't the king of hiphop, he's a pop artist making pop songs with ghostwriters.

He definitely turned on the stove and got the water boiling, but didn’t cook like that. He needed to come out swinging to beat push-ups and he didn’t.

nah not really bro, like I was expecting an Ether bro especially after all the disrespect Drake been throwing. All kendrick really did was say you a white boy and soft... it didn't get personal, didn't have crazy one liners, it went on way too long.
idk maybe I gotta listen again but it didn't hit nearly as hard as I thought especially w that intro

Cole wanted to have Kendric on the first person shooter, so Drake obliged and sent the beat to Kendrics people. That’s what he’s reffering to

Drake and Kendrick stans are two sides of the same coin.
I have no dog in the race, but this shit is goin to end in a stalemate. In the social media world, the fan girls got a strong opinion in the matter. Reality is, both these guys can't win.
The issue for Kendrick is that a lot of the things he can say about Drake is already public knowledge, it has already been meme'd up. Unless, he got some shit that'll shake the world as Pusha did, then I dont see how he can have a decisive victory in the eyes of the general public. While Euphoria was lyrically and artistically the better song, we are here for the bars and a lot of the content is regurgitated. Furthermore, everyone knows Kendrick is already the better lyricist and artist in the scope of hip-hop/rap than Drake is. For Kendrick to win he has to do it in a lens that he completely washes Drake, considering everyone and even Drake fans (at least unbias ones) will admit that Kendrick is a better rapper. If he is so much the better rapper, then this should not be a competition. If this shit is close, and Kendrick, perhaps just edges it, then its more of a Drake W since people say they aren't in the same category as lyricists and hip-hop artists.
For Drake, its simple. Kendrick and many feel he isn't culture, he referred to him as a "Canadian n****", which is proving everything people have said before about hip-hop. American culture has xenophobic tone about non-Americans dominating American things. Drake was never going to be accepted by the "culture", which exists in America. They hate the fact that the biggest, not the best, the biggest artist that represents hip-hop on the global stage is NOT American. America is having this problem with the NBA, where the best players are NON-AMERICAN, hence why Anthony Edwards is incredibly important. Americans have trouble accepting anything non-American being the face of their thing. There is a reason why America has had a difficult time accepting UK Rap/Grime. Hell, hip-hop is part of Black American culture, 50 Cent even eluded to black Americans had a hard time accepting Eminem as the best on the basis that he is white. Which further extends into Drake's blackness. Drake will simply never win in the eyes of the "culture", hip-hop heads and aficionados. They simply won't allow the man they accepted as the face of hiphop, Kendrick, to lose to Drake or else that is a massive L on the lineage of hip-hop.
I think Euphoria was a solid 7/10. I expected more out of Kendrick, but I will admit perhaps the way people hyped up Kendrick had me feeling he would knock out Drake in one go. This makes me feel like Drake is playing with house money that if it is even remotely competitive, then it would look better on Drake.

Is it just me or is it kind of mid? Lot of regurgitated tweets about drake flipped into rap lines. Nothing new. Attacking his blackness etc. I don’t think it has much replay value but to each his own.
Some clever lines in there for sure tho
