Kendrick Lamar just put out a song to diss Drake, continuing their ongoing beef in the world of rap.
The song named Euphoria is a reaction to several weeks of mocking by Drake. Drake has consistently made indirect attacks towards Lamar in his popular diss tracks.
Lamar spends more than six minutes discussing Drake's tendencies of manipulation and lying, as well as disapproving of how he raises his children.
Additionally, he alleges that the prominent Canadian celebrity compromises their artistic integrity by producing music solely to please their audience.
He makes it very clear to the audience that he has very strong emotions towards Drake.
"My focus has never been on critics or gimmicks, or on determining who is the best," he raps. "For me, it has always been about the feelings of love and hate, and I want to emphasize that I am the greatest critic of all."
I strongly dislike the manner in which you stroll, communicate, and dress.

. According to data analysis, Drake has emerged as the most popular hip-hop musician globally, with the highest amount of streaming listeners.
The conflict between the rappers goes back to 2013, when Lamar was still new to the scene.
While he was performing at the BET Awards, he bragged about how his abilities had made "a vulnerable rap artist go back to wearing their bedtime clothes". This particular line was thought to be aimed at Drake, whose emotional style of rap mixed with R&B had revolutionized the genre.
The quarrel persisted for a couple of years before escalating once more the previous year. J Cole and Drake proclaimed themselves as part of the "big three" of rap alongside Lamar in their song First Person Shooter.
Nobody paid much attention to the seemingly harmless remark for several months. However, in March, Lamar rapped an intense verse on Like That, stating that there wasn't a "big three" anymore, but only a "big me".
Drake dropped a diss track called "Push Ups" in April, one of two, where he made fun of Lamar's physical height and ridiculed Lamar's team-ups with Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift.
The next month, Drake released yet another track titled Taylor Made Freestyle, where he provoked Lamar by labeling him a chicken for not coming up with a comeback.
The song utilized AI technology to replicate the voices of Snoop Dogg and the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur, which sparked some controversy. Tupac was one of Lamar's role models.
Drake removed the song from his Instagram account due to a complaint from the estate of Shakur.
Lamar's Euphoria also opposes the implementation of AI technology, claiming that it would be a disservice to the memory of Tupac.
Furthermore, he inquiries, "Is it an encounter with a supernatural entity or conversing with an artificial intelligence?" This remark alludes to the allegations that Drake has employed ghostwriters previously.
Lamar also acknowledges the amount of time it took for him to make a comeback. He expressed it through a confrontational verse: "Do you believe that all I do is rhyme? I have a child to raise, but it appears that you are completely unaware."

Kendrick Lamar, who won the Pulitzer Prize in the past for his fourth album called "Damn," showcases his voice's versatility in this song by playing with various flows and rhythm meters.
In the final moments, he seems to be imitating Drake's accent from Toronto.
Lamar admitted, "I appreciate Drake's musical style when he sings, but I don't care for his tough guy persona." He chose not to react to the fact that Drake mentioned his wife in one of his earlier tracks.
"We don't need to make it personal, this is a friendly confrontation, it's best to maintain that atmosphere," he rhymed.
For the past few months, there has been a conflict that has attracted many other rappers. This disagreement has pulled in well-known performers like Kanye West, The Weeknd, and Rick Ross, who have all released music that alludes to the dispute.
In response to Lamar's latest attack on Instagram, Drake posted a clip from the 90s romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You. The scene features Julia Stiles reciting a poem where she details her issues with Heath Ledger's "bad boy" character.

on Tuesday. He used a picture of himself holding a glass of champagne to express his feelings about winning the Grammy award for Best Rap Song. Drake wrote that awards are not his priority and that he cares more about connecting with his fans. He also told aspiring musicians to focus on their passion and not on winning awards. Drake's message was a reminder that success is not just about winning awards, but about connecting with the people who support you.
Drake might have been aiming for a parody of Lamar's lyrics, but it looks like he forgot how the scene concludes.
Stiles, with tears held back, expressed his dislike for the fact that he cannot bring himself to hate the person in question. His feeling towards the individual is nowhere near the vicinity of hate, not even in the slightest.
