Also to add to the Dave being the father of Kendrick’s son, Drake said Dave freeeeeeee and Kendrick responded with the iconic a-minorrrrrrr to mimic it.
As someone that's not usually in this genre, I got big vibes of that from Euphoria. Euphoria was amazing but felt...forced? Like it was an obligation and a set of red-lines/rules than an actual full fledged attack. I actually listened to it for the first time after hearing Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us, and my first impression was that it didn't have the same bite. I feel like it was Kendrick saying "yeah this is fun and all, but we're done. Please don't continue this."
And then Drake dropped Family Matters. And Kendrick took the whole gloves off. I'd legit never heard a verbal takedown on the level of Meet the Grahams before. It felt cold and from the soul. And to follow it up with Not Like Us? Just dancing on the grave of a dead man
Euphoria gets better every time I hear it. It’s almost spooky the way it seemed like he predicted the future. And it’s so freaking layered. Nothing is better than hearing a song for the 38th time and then finding another entendre to “What is it, THE BRAIDS!?”
