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

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

Euphoria used to come out Tuesdays too

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

Kendrick had fun with the diss track 😂🔥

Kendricks writing ✍️ is TOP TIER!

I like that you can hear Kendrick holding his laugh when he says the sexy red line

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.

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.

The “whooping feet” is also a double with Crawfords upcoming fight with Boots Ennis.

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.😂

Drake uses ghostwriters, Kendrick doesn't. That alone is a win for K-dot.

“Talk about me and my family crodie, somebody gon bleed in your family crodie “ 🗣️🗣️

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

People who say that kendrick diss was corny need to grow up

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.

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

it's from The Wiz, not the Original Wizard of Oz

I hit play so fast.

GREAT break down……just wish it was longer and you broke it down even more with your opinion 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Kendrick making a Heart Part exposing drake is iconic. Also, shoutout to everyone who thought Cole bodied Kendrick. Y'all will be missed, lmao.

That last part 😂 good job, some people don’t remember about what weezy said to em!

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.

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 🧐

I dont know if someone already mentioned this but the I hate you bars are callback to the DMX interview on the breakfast club.

Loved the Push Ups Breakdown and love that one too your voice is ✨

Bro this shit is packed with stuff I missed appreciate the breakdown .

The dementia line I believe is a shot at the J Prince fam.

This is a phenomenal vid. Great job

This was well done, no fluff. Great job

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

Absolutely the best breakdowns, had no idea it went this deep.

This is incredible work. High quality and super succinct. Keep it up!

That verse line about his daddy a killer he wanna be J.R. could be in reference to J.Prince...

You always break it down the best. 👏👍👍🙌

Our goat always breaking down everything

Good video bro and the outro was hilarious 😂

Accurate and amazing breakdown 👏🏾

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

Great breakdown 🔥

The CONTROL beat in the background was a delicious detail to this vid

your breakdown are so well done ... i luv it❤

One of the best break downs! Thanks you

Bruh, you pretty much covered it!….No further questions your honor 😂

this one of the better breakdowns online

Best breakdown I've heard yet

Tava esperando por essa 🙏

The break down was crazy good big ups

Fantastic breakdown and analysis

V12 is a fast one, two meanings to that line its crazy

Great Analysis

bro u r dope tnx for explaining this nuance in this bars it`s perfect

Amazing keep up the good work bro I will subscribe to your channel

really concise. No bs. good one.

I see you coming up, im subscribing in good faith.

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

so cool thanks for doing this

What a breakdown, fast, concise, dense, and as analytical as it had to be. Perfect

By a long mile. This is the best break down so far

It’s called the “Wiz” not the wizard of Oz but carry on lol. Well done sir. New sub.

Bro, you killed it ❤

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.”

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 this has the best breakdown

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.

Best breakdown online 🔥

First time seeing your video I'm gonna subrice right now

You need a bettee mic no lie. Great work

"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

Amazing Video 💯

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.

Best breakdown so far

When I hear people say this diss is wack I know they are whack.

Somebody need to send this to gillie cause he obviously dont get it. That or he still writing for ym artists 🤣

Drake did not keep it Canadian like a little Wayne advised him to do.

Hight quality and to the point

Wait where did that lil Wayne interview at the end come from?!😂

KDot the goat he went at the 2 biggest artist and he willing to take them on. This kid is blessed.

Ending that with Snip from Wayne was cherry on top

This what we really been waiting on

You missed a lot but did a great job.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Dude you should break down every diss track. Subbed liked and commented for the algorithm 🫡

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.

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"

Master Class!

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

Damn you broke this down like you wrote it. Drake writers probably gotta watch this just to type him a response 😂

I’m just glad I saw this coming when the world was waiting for Kendrick’s reply. This man will not lose to Drake.

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

crazy dawg

How am I still finding out new stuff that went over my head

Bro please mix the audio in videos to me more consistent. Your voice is super soft then the music clips come on and blow my speakers out

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

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

thanks pearl!

I love this...he also quoted DMX

According to a RU-vid 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

not the lil wayne clip at the end 💀

i didn’t find this out by myself but when Kenny says “Yeah, bring em out too, I’ll clear em out too Tell BEAM that he better stay right with you” he is saying that BEAM will need to help him respond since he is one of his ghostwriters also “beam” is another term for the laser sight on a gun saying that drake will need to stay with his hypothetical weapon in this situation

Nailed it.
