I've played Euphoria more in the past couple days than I've ever played any track back to back. There are so many puns and double meanings to unpack and I think it's impressive as hell. I agree with those saying K Dot's execution has not been as clean and the tracks are not as listenable as Push Ups was, but if the goal is to lyrically disembowel somebody rather than make a hit track then Kendrick is winning by miles. We already know Drake can make hit tracks with unmatchable frequency, but rap battles are about lyrically destroying someone on a personal level not making catchy songs.
For those who haven't been following, the tracks involved in the beef so far are, in this order:
First person shooter (Drake and Cole)
Like that (Kendrick)
7 minute drill (Cole)
Pushups (Drake)
Taylor Made freestyle (Drake)
Champagne Moments (Ross)
Euphoria (Kendrick)
6:16 in LA (Kendrick)
Family matters (Drake)
Meet the grahams (Kendrick)
Not Like Us (Kendrick)
The Heart Pt. 6 (Drake)
Already like an album's worth of material, I hope Drake responds quicker this time so this shit keeps rolling because I'm having a great time.
