Kendrick Lamar escalates Drake feud on the scathing diss track, Euphoria

Kendrick Lamar has released a diss track attacking fellow rap star Drake, escalating their long-running feud. Called Euphoria, the song is a response to weeks of taunting by Drake, who has taken pot-shots at Lamar on a series of viral diss tracks. Over six minutes, Lamar calls Drake a "manipulator and habitual liar", and criticises his parenting skills. He also accuses the Canadian star of selling out, saying he only makes music to "pacify" fans. And he leaves listeners under no illusions about the strength of his feelings towards Drake. "This ain't been 'bout critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest," he raps. "It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater." "I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress."
