Kendrick Lamar’s Euphoria took the feud between Lamar and Drake to the next level. The six-minute diss track launches an attack on Drake’s music career, personal life, and biracial identity. It was in response to the American rapper’s earlier released song Push Ups, in which the One Dance singer mocks Lamar’s physical appearance and the quality of his songs. Interestingly, years before the current feud, Lamar and Drake had a friendly working relationship.

The duo even released the song Poetic Justice together in 2013, which found a place in the U.S. Apple Music chart once again due to the feud. The God’s Plan singer recorded a verse for the song that received critical acclaim for the performances.

There are a few lines of thought surrounding the ongoing Drake v. the World rap feud that have become accepted as all but sacred facts. For one, all of this is supposedly fun. Spotify, the multi-billion-dollar business that reported a quarterly profit last week — in part, thanks to laying off 17 percent of its staff ahead of the holidays last year— rented out billboards in Times Square declaring that rap is a “competitive sport.” This was presumably their comment on the months-long saga that began with the release of Future and...

It has taken close to half a year since the release of Pink Friday 2, but Nicki Minaj and Drake have finally performed their collaboration on the album “Needle” together. The Canadian rapper surprised Minaj’s fans on Tuesday by striding out to deliver his lines about driving around in his Maybach and his cheesy pickup line, “You’re like a needle, life’s a haystack” (not that you can really hear it in the videos posted to social media since Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena could double as an echo chamber...

One of the major themes of Kendrick Lamar’s new Drake diss “euphoria” is the accusation that his rap foe is a “scam artist” and “a master manipulator and habitual liar too.” As it turns out, the seemingly jumbled audio in the intro lays the groundwork by sampling dialogue from the 1978 film The Wiz.
Shortly after the song’s release on Tuesday, multiple fans clipped the brief sample and played the line backward, revealing it to be dialogue from the movie in which The Wiz (played by Richard Pryor) says, “Everything they say about me is true.” Scroll down for the reversed audio below.
For full context, Pryor’s line is taken from a scene in which his character is exposed to be Herman Smith, a washed-up politician from Atlantic City. Admitting to the deception, he says, “Everything they say about me is true. I’m a phony.”

Drake didn’t let the clock run out on his chance to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s six-minute-long diss track within the first 24 hours of its release. But the rapper didn’t step into the booth to hit back at “Euphoria.” Instead, to address the intensifying shots they’ve been sending each other, he took to Instagram Stories to post a cinematic reference: Julia Stiles’ famous 10 Things I Hate About You monologue.

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.

Drake has always been the talk of the town, both for good and bad reasons. The one thing that has always caught the fans’ attention is the music icon’s incredible physique and his washboard abs. Anyone who follows him on Instagram will vouch for the fact that Drake is super proud of his transformation and why shouldn’t he be? A body like that doesn’t come easy, after all.

However, Drake has been accused of getting his abs the easy way, that is, by going through surgery. Back in 2019, DJ Carnage hopped into Drake’s comment section on Instagram where the rapper/singer was showing off his abs and dissed him for getting ab surgery. While he was only taking a playful jab at his friend, Drake and his fitness trainer had their replies ready.

I’ve spent the past month theorizing that the root of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s dysfunction is how philosophically different they seem to be. Their actions speak loudly for two sects of hip-hop in antithetical opposition. While Drake’s three weeks of post-“Push Ups” digital mischief entertained his fanbase and, for some, upped the pressure on Kendrick, the West Coast rhymer’s fans put on an unbothered front, surmising that Drake was anxiously awaiting a potent clapback. True enough, Kendrick opened his diss track “Euphoria” by echoing his...

On the night of April 13, after the apparent leak of his diss track “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty),” Drake posted a screenshot from the movie Kill Bill on his Instagram Story. It was the film’s iconic fight scene, during which Uma Thurman’s character takes on a room full of ninja assassins only to emerge victorious. The metaphor couldn’t be more applicable to Drake’s current situation, as he fends off what many are describing as “Rap’s Avengers,” out for blood since the release of Future...

Good morning, haters — or, really, good morning to everyone who isn’t Drake. Kendrick Lamar called an impromptu emergency meeting of the anti-Drake club on Tuesday when he dropped “Euphoria,” his six-minute-long, highly-anticipated response to weeks of antagonization from the Canadian rapper.
Last week, Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle,” his second response to a couple of shots that Kendrick took at him on the Metro Boomin and Future track “Like That.” The song has since been removed due to legal threats from the Tupac estate, but it did feature the line: “Since “Like That,...

Kendrick Lamar has hit back at Drake with “euphoria,” his response to the latter rapper’s recent diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Stream it below.
Broken up into three parts, “euphoria” begins with a laidback beat in which a relaxed Kendrick calls out Drake for being fake and “a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
“The famous actor we once knew is lookin’ paranoid, now it’s spiraling,” Kendrick scoffs, before accusing Drake of being a liar on multiple levels. “Fabricate stories on the family front, ’cause you heard Mr. Morale/ A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now/ You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
Pointedly, he continues, “Know you a master manipulator, and a bitch, you a liar too/ But don’t tell no lie ’bout me, and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.

FKA twigs has proactively taken AI into her own hands to develop a deepfake version of herself to handle fan interactions while she focuses on music, Rolling Stone reports.
“In the past year, I have developed my own deepfake version of myself that is not only trained in my personality but also can use my exact tone of voice to speak many languages,” FKA twigs shared in written testimony ahead of her appearance before Senate on Tuesday (April 30th).
Praising the technology as a “highly valuable” tool “when under the control of the artist,” the British musician continued, “I will be engaging my AI twigs later this year to extend my reach and handle my online social media interactions, whilst I continue to focus on my art from the comfort and solace of my studio.”

It's a drizzly Thursday afternoon in New York City, and Nicki Nicole has spent most of her day answering back-to-back interview questions from journalists. For someone who just concluded a tour between Latin America and Europe, not to mention nine sold-out shows at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, where more than 100,000 fans were in attendance, you'd think she was ready to slow down. But hours before our conversation, she announced that her first US headlining tour would kick off next month in Mexico City. You can see the tunnel vision in her green eyes. Her fans, who have been by her side since day one, are what motivate her to keep going.

After the threat of legal action from Tupac’s estate, Drake removed his Kendrick Lamar diss “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which appeared to feature an AI-generated version of Tupac’s voice.
Drake shared the song last Friday, releasing it on the heels of “Push Ups,” his response to Lamar’s verse on Futrue and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” While “Push Ups” got an official release, “Taylor Made Freestyle” was only ever posted as a video on Drake’s social media pages, not on streaming services, where it would’ve earned royalties.

Tupac Shakur’s estate has sent a cease-and-desist letter threatening to sue Drake over his recent Kendrick Lamar diss track featuring AI-generated vocals from the late rapper, reports Billboard.
Howard King, the attorney representing Tupac’s estate, has given Drake 24 hours to confirm he will pull “Taylor Made Freestyle” from social media, or all legal remedies will be pursued against him. Update: As of Thursday evening, the track has been removed from Drake’s social media accounts.
“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” the letter reads. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

Look around and you just may find yourself amid a Pet Shop Boys renaissance.
Of course, the English duo — consisting of Neil Tennant, 69, and Chris Lowe, 64 — never went anywhere. They have been steadily putting out music since their landmark 1984 debut, Please, which instantly established them with timeless songs like “West End Girls” and “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money).”
But Pet Shop Boys’ deep catalog has been plundered in recent years everywhere from Madison Avenue (“Opportunities” showed up in a Super Bowl ad for Allstate) to Hollywood (several classics were used to wonderful effect in two of last year’s zeitgeistiest movies, Saltburn and All of Us Strangers). Their signature sound is suddenly everywhere — wistful and longing, danceable and intellectually sophisticated synth-pop. Their 15th studio effort, Nonetheless, drops tomorrow and features more of that infectious trademark music.

The long-awaited showdown between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has been bogged down by Instagram Story trolling, X bots, and artificial intelligence. While the rap world awaits Kendrick’s response to Drake, we’ve also been made to ponder technology’s role in societal decline. When the rap Gods declared “There are no rules in rap beef,” they likely weren’t imagining stan wars with hordes of X bot accounts feverishly posting sophomoric disses like “Daycares worldwide are being told to stay on high alert for Kendrick Lamar.”
And no one...

When James Bond Daniel Craig Revealed Being Obsessed With Having S*x In His Teens ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Daniel Craig is one of the most suave James Bonds in the history of cinema and an exceptional actor. The actor, however, was allegedly a mess in his childhood in terms of his thoughts! Why do we say you may wonder? It is because Craig, in his teen years, could allegedly only think about s*x. The actor shared this amusing anecdote once in an interview several years ago.
Craig is an eminent English actor who gained unfathomable fan as James Bond and appeared in five installments of the 007 film franchise. He succeeded Pierce Brosnan. Now, the hunt is still on to step in his shoes and be Daniel’s replacement in the next Bond movie. He is also loved for portraying Benoit Blanc in the films Knives Out and Glass Onion.

Drake, forever thirsty for attention, is continuing to bait Kendrick Lamar. After releasing “Push Ups” on DSPs on Friday, the Toronto rapper has dropped a second diss track. This one, titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” includes AI verses made to sound like Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior/ Engraving your name in some hip-hop history,” AI Tupac raps. “If you deal with this viciously/ You seem a little nervous about all the publicity/ Fuck this Canadian lightskin.”
“I know you never been to jail, or wore jumpsuits and shower shoes/Never shot nobody, never stabbed nobody/Never did nothing violent to no one, it’s the homies that empower you,” adds AI Snoop. “But, still, you gotta show this fucking owl who’s boss on the West/Now’s a time to really make a power move.”

Drake turned up the heat on Friday, following up the official release of his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Push Ups” from earlier this week with “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which appears to feature AI vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
Late Friday night, April 19, the rapper took to social media to share another scathing rebuke toward Kendrick, and unlike “Push Ups” — which also takes shots at Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, and the Weeknd and drew shots back from Ross and others — this one takes direct aim primarily at Kendrick.

The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar is escalating to new heights.
Drake dropped a track on his social media titled ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.
The song features AI vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg on a stopgap between diss records as he awaits Kendrick Lamar’s response to his latest release ‘Push Ups’, reports ‘Variety’.
On the track, an imagined Shakur addresses Lamar directly, questioning his silence since the release of his verse on ‘Like That’, a diss that initiated this feud last month.
“Kendrick we need ya, the West Coast saviour. Engraving your name in some hip-hop history,” raps an artificial Shakur.
“Call him a b**** for me. Talk about him liking young girls as a gift for me.”
According to ‘Variety’, Drake then uses Snoop Dogg’s computer-generated vocals to directly address Lamar.
Snoop Dogg’s AI-generated voice raps, “World is watching this chess game, but oh you out of moves Dot.

While the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar picks up steam, we take a look back at three iconic feuds in hip hop through its history, the sort that is still remembered for their stinging bars and witty writing, or even the story of what started them, and how the artists used their talents to flyte their opponents into obscurity (or tried to).

For years now, Future has been skilled at playing rap’s favorite romantic anti-hero: the man, or character, baptizing himself in purple drinks to forget about bliss that has slipped away. Some of his best songs, like “Throw Away” or “My Collection,” can be both spiteful and vulnerable, like a dog dying of a virus that it can’t understand. It’s why certain men pore over his albums like they’re David Foster Wallace novels. At any given moment, a lyric or a snark will seem to effortlessly crystalize...
