Joe Budden Claims Drake Got “Punched In The Face” By Kendrick Lamar Diss

Joe Budden is always good for a soundbite. He’s been tracking the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef since day one, and has made it clear that he has admiration for both artists. He was complimentary of Drake’s diss song “Push Ups,” and even “Taylor Made Freestyle,” but he also praised Lamar when he put out the scathing “Euphoria” response. Lamar brought six minutes of mayhem to the table, and Budden feels as though he won the first round. That being said, Budden is excited to see what Drake does next.

Joe Budden called DJ Akademiks during a live stream on April 30. The two men debated the merits of both diss tracks, but the former came down as pro-Kendrick Lamar. He felt the Compton emcee raised the bar as the beef transitions to the second record. Budden’s ruling was by no means a slight against Drake, though. In fact, the podcaster is excited to see how the 6 God responds. In his estimation, Drake finally has an opponent who can test his abilities and his toughness as a rapper.

“I want to see Drake bleed,” Budden asserted. “I want to know how my favorites respond to getting punched in the face. Love Drake, and I’m gonna love him more if he do what he need to do.”

Joe Budden Wants To See Drake “Bleed” In Battle

Budden posited that Drake has had a “smooth ride” throughout his career, and is finally being challenged by someone who can compete in his commercial arena. The podcaster claims the Pusha T feud has been the only bump in the Toronto rapper’s career, which means there’s an aspect of Drake’s artistry that fans haven’t seen yet. “The a n**ga in front of you now that you have to respect even if you don’t like him,” Budden added. “Finish your food. I come from the finish your food era. This ain’t Meek Mill no more.”

This is a sentiment that Budden has expressed before. He’s questioned Drake in the past, and even put out diss tracks against the “God’s Plan” rapper back when he was an artist. He even doubted whether Drake would respond to Lamar’s original “Like That” diss in March, and was pleasantly surprised when “Push Ups” dropped. Budden wants Drake to keep impressing him, and by extension, the fans, in round two.

Rick Ross Offers Advice To Drake After Kendrick Lamar Drops “Euphoria” Diss

Rick Ross advised Drake not to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Euphoria” on Tuesday (April 30). Rozay, who released his own Drake diss titled “Champagne Moments,” reacted to Kendrick’s song on Instagram Stories.


“Look, white boy, I know we not friends,” Rozay told Drake. “But lemme give you this advice ‘cause you ain’t got nobody ‘round you. Or you ain’t got no real n##### ‘round you. Lemme just put it like that. Ain’t no real n#####. Stop! Don’t respond. You ain’t even peep when the intro came on with the Teddy Pendergrass. That was that Black vibe.”

He continued, “Don’t do it. Don’t go write an eight-minute verse that—I know, n####. [Lil] Yachty, I know you want to get that money. You ain’t wrong, n####. Keep buying them big houses. But I’ma tell you this like a real n####. Ain’t no more BBLs. Ain’t no more ass fillers. Ain’t no more cheek fillers.”

Both Kendrick and Ross questioned Drake’s Blackness on their diss tracks.

“We hate the b###### you f###, ’cause they confuse themself with real women/And notice, I said ‘we,’ it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin’/How many more fairytale stories ’bout your life ’til we had enough?/How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you’re Black enough?” Kendrick rapped on “Euphoria.”

The song concluded with the warning, “We don’t wanna hear you say ‘n####’ no more.”

Ross repeatedly called Drake a “white boy” on “Champagne Moments.”

“You ain’t never want to be a n#### anyway, n####/That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, n####,” Ross claimed on his song.

Drake dissed Kendrick and Ross, among others, on “Push Ups.” The battle began when Kendrick fired lyrical shots at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s No. 1 hit “Like That.”

The Compton rhymer didn’t hold back as he lyrically tore down Drake on the six-minute-long song. Among some of K-Dot’s best lyrical jabs include:

• On whether J. Cole and Drake desire to maintain a friendship with him, Kendrick name drops YNW Melly, who is currently standing trial for the double murder of two associates.

“Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m a selfish n***a/The crown is heavy, huh/I pray they my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly”

Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria”: Rick Ross Advises Drake Against Responding

Rick Ross shared some advice for Drake on social media, on Tuesday, telling the Toronto rapper that he shouldn’t bother responding to Kendrick Lamar. The Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers rapper dissed Drake on his new song, “Euphoria,” accusing him of being a bad father, using ghostwriters, and much more. Ross previously dissed Drake in his own track, “Champagne Moments,” earlier this month.

Ross began the clip by referring to Drake as a “white boy.” From there, he asked: “Do they even have WiFi on that cargo plane?” and added, “He may not have heard this yet but look white boy, I know we not friends but lemme give you this advice because you ain’t got nobody around you– you ain’t got no real n****s around you. Let me put it like that.” As for the advice, Ross remarked: “Don’t respond. You ain’t even peep when the intro came on with that Teddy Pendergrass. That was that Black vibe. Don’t do it. Don’t go write an 8 minute verse.” Ross also forgave Yachty for associating with Drake. “I know you wanna get that money. You ain’t wrong. Keep buying them big houses.”

On “Euphoria,” Lamar echoed similar accusations Ross made on “Champagne Moments,” such as accusing Drake of getting plastic surgery and bringing up his race. “How many more fairytale stories about your life ’til we’ve had enough?” Lamar raps. “How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you’re Black enough?” He also accuses him of being a bad father.

Gillie Da Kid Labels Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Corny,” Says Drake & Chris Brown Are Up

Gillie Da Kid isn’t a fan of Kendrick Lamar’s new diss track, “Euphoria,” on which he takes aim at Drake amid their ongoing feud. The Million Dollaz Worth Of Game host voiced his first impression of the song in a video posted to social media on Tuesday. While filming himself in his car, Gillie explains that he thinks the track is corny and that Drake is up 2-0 in the beef.

“I f*ck with Kendrick but that sh*t was corn on the cob man,” Gillie said. “You know what’s crazy man? The light-skinned n****s is winning three to nothing. Drake up two to nothing. Chris Brown up one to nothing. Just take me back. I remember in the late eighties light skin n****s ran everything up to the late eighties. Then Nino Brown pistol-whipped every light-skinned n***a in New Jack City. Then they had it bad all the way up to Steph Curry and Chris Brown and Klay Thompson and Drake. Now the light-skinned n****s doing what they want.”

On the track, Lamar goes off on the Toronto rapper, accusing him of being a “scam artist,” implying he’s a bad father, and much more. At one point, he brings up Drake’s previous feud with Pusha T. He raps: “I don’t like you poppin’ sh*t, that sh*t for real, I inherit the beef / Yeah, f*ck all that pushin’ P, let me see you push-a-T / You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?” At another point, he brings Drake’s race into the conversation. “How many more fairytale stories about your life ’til we’ve had enough?” Lamar raps. “How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you’re Black enough?”

Drake Seemingly Responds To Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Diss

Drake got dissed today as Kendrick Lamar finally offered up his response to “Push Ups.” Overall, “Euphoria” is taking the world by storm in a big way. It is all that people want to talk about today. Every other story in the hip-hop world has been put on the backburner. Throughout the song, Kendrick takes some serious shots at Drake, and although some feel like the bars aren’t hitting, others believe this might be the greatest display of raw hate we have ever seen. Wherever you may stand on this topic, there is no doubt that things are getting interesting.

Since the release of the song, fans have been wondering whether or not Drake has heard it. Moreover, there are some who are contemplating whether or not Drizzy is going to drop the song anytime soon. Well, it seems as though Drizzy may have offered up a response. In the tweets below, you can see that Drake has been liking some Instagram posts. In one of these posts, the caption is simply, “That’s it?” Of course, this points towards Drake not being overly impressed with what K. Dot had to offer.

However, in another post from DJ Akademiks, there is a tweet from Daylyt where he puts Drake on the clock. Drizzy went on to like this as well, which hints that he could very well be looking into a response, sometime soon. For now, however, fans are just going to have to wait. It took each artist three weeks to respond, so we could be on that timeline yet again. Only time will tell if this escalates any further than it already has.

Let us know what you think of this response from Drake, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that a response track is on the horizon? Or do you believe that Drake is just going to leave this here and end it once and for all? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kendrick Lamar’s Best Lyrical Jabs at Drake on ‘Euphoria’

Kendrick Lamar has taken over the conversation in hip-hop today with his new Drake diss “Euphoria.” The six-minute-long song features the Compton rapper delivering a relentless verbal assault on Drizzy, with no regret or mercy. The Cardo-produced diss is in response to Drake’s two diss tracks, “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

The song’s cover art contains a screenshot of the Oxford dictionary definition of “euphoria,” likely a reference to the HBO series Euphoria, which Drake serves as an executive producer.

Kenny goes beast mode on Drake, leaving no stone unturned in his comprehensive lyrical analysis of The Boy from Toronto.

Kendrick Lamar’s Calmly Dismantles Drake on “Part 1” of “Euphoria”

In the melodic “Part 1” of the song, K-Dot calmly dismantled the Toronto rap superstar.

“You movin’ just like a degenerate, heavy antic, it’s feelin’ distasteful/Why calculate you, not as calculated, I can even predict your angles/Fabricate stories on the family front, ’cause you heard Mr. Morale/A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now,” he raps on the song.

Kendrick adds: “You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of bеing accepted/Tommy Hilfiger stood out, but FUBU nеver had been your collection.”

He concludes: “Know you a master manipulator, and a habitual liar too/ But don’t tell no lie ’bout me, and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.”

A Breakdown of Kendrick’s Lyrical Jabs at Drake on “Euphoria”

On “Part II” of the song, the beat switches and Kendrick is in full attack mode. Here’s a rundown of his lyrical shots at Drake.

• Kendrick mentions Drake buying Tupac Shakur’s crown ring, which he believes made ‘Pac turn in his grave.

Somebody had told that me you got a ring, on God, I’m ready to double the wage/I rather do that, than let a Canadian n***a make ‘Pac turn in his grave

• Kendrick name drops YNW Melly, who is on trial for double murder, when referring to whether J. Cole and Drake want to remain cordial with him or not.

Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m a selfish n***a/The crown is heavy, huh/I pray they my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly

• In a clever double entendre, K-Dot makes references to Gunna’s “Pushin P” and rapper Pusha T, whom Drake engaged in a lyrical battle with in 2018.

I don’t like you poppin’ s**t, that s**t for real, I inherit the beef/Yeah, f**k all that pushin’ P, let me see you push-a-T/You better off spinnin’ again on him, you think about pushin’ me?

We ain’t gotta get personal, this a friendly faith, you should keep it that way/I know some s**t about niggas that make Gunna Wunna look like a saint

• Kendrick lists all the things he hates about Drake, possibly referencing DMX’s 2012 The Breakfast Club interview.

I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk/I hate the way that you dress/I hate the way you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct/We hate the b***hes you f**k, ’cause they confuse themselves with real women/And notice, I said “We,” it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin'”

• Kendrick raises questions regarding Drake’s multi-ethnic background and his closeness to Black culture.

How many more fairytale stories ’bout your life ’til we had enough?/How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you black enough

• Kendrick disses Chubbs who was Drake’s former Head of Security and claims that Drizzy has no classic albums in his discography.

You gon’ make a n***a bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash somethin’/Yeah, my first one like my last one, it’s a classic, you don’t have one

• Kendrick pokes fun at the 6 God over rumors he underwent plastic surgery to get 6-pack abs.

Let your core audience stomach that/Didn’t tell ’em where you get your abs from

• Kendrick even throws Drake’s friend Lil Yachty under the bus.

I’m allergic to the lame s**t, only you like bein’ famous/Yachty can’t give you no swag neither, I don’t give a f**k ’bout who you hang with

• Interestingly, Kendrick reveals that Drake reached out once for a feature, which surprised him considering the heated tension between them for over the past decade.

I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk/I hate the way that you dress/Surprised you wanted that feature request/You know that we got some s**t to address

• Kendrick wants Drizzy to stop using the N-word in his songs.

I even hate when you say the word “N***a,” but that’s just me, I guess/Some s**t just cringeworthy, you ain’t even gotta be diva I guess

• Kendrick takes a lyrical jab at Drake for always fawning over Sexyy Red and questions the Toronto rap star’s manhood.

Matter of fact, I ain’t even bleed him yet, can I bleed him? Bet/When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad b***hes/I believe you don’t like women, that’s real competition, you might pop a*s with ’em

• Kendrick reveals Drake slapped a cease and desist letter for the “Like That” (Remix) featuring Ye.

Try cease and desist on the “Like That” record/H*e, what? You ain’t like that record

• Kendrick’s references Drake’s 2016 diss track “Back to Back” during his beef with Meek Mill.

“Back To Back”, I like that record/I’ma get back to that for the record

• Kendrick reveals Drake slapped a cease and desist letter for the “Like That” (Remix) featuring Ye.

Try cease and desist on the “Like That” record/H*e, what? You ain’t like that record

• Kendrick responds to Drake’s line, “What the f**k is this, a twenty-v-one, n***a?” on “Push Ups” and ghostwriting claims.

Ain’t twenty-v-one, it’s one-v-twenty if I gotta smack niggas that write with you/Yeah, bring ’em out too, I clean ’em out too/Tell Bean that he better stay right with you

• Kendrick addresses Drake’s usage of A.I. to recreate Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg’s voices on “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Am I battlin’ ghost or A.I.? N***a feelin’ like Joel Austeen/Funny, he was in a film called “AI”/

Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” Is Drake’s Hell – Check Out The Hardest Bars

Kendrick Lamar unleashed his Drake diss track “Euphoria” on Tuesday (April 30). The song added more drama to Kendrick and Drake’s already contentious battle with pointed attacks against Drizzy.


Here are the highlights from Kendrick’s response to Drake’s “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

“His daddy a killer, he wanna be junior, they must’ve forgot the s### that they done/Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky/I park your son”

Kendrick’s diss track kicked into high gear close to the two-minute mark with shots at Drake’s family. K. Dot delivered a slick reference to Parkinson’s Disease.

“There’s no accent you can sell me/Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m a selfish n####/The crown is heavy, huh/I pray they my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly”

Kendrick threw a jab at Drake’s penchant for using a variety of accents and added a vicious nod to YNW Melly for good measure. Melly is accused of murdering his two friends in 2018.

“We hate the b###### you f###, ’cause they confuse themselves with real women/And notice, I said ‘We,’ it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin’/How many more fairytale stories ’bout your life ’til we had enough?/How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you Black enough/I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he act tough/You gon’ make a n#### bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash something”

Kendrick positioned himself as the voice of the culture in his critiques of Drake. K. Dot also joined Rick Ross in questioning Drake’s Blackness while throwing in a reference to a past incident in which Diddy punched Drake.

“Surprised you wanted that feature request/You know that we got some s### to address/I even hate when you say the word ‘n####,’ but that’s just me, I guess/Some s### just cringeworthy, you ain’t even gotta be diva I guess”

Kendrick revealed Drake’s past request for a collaboration, providing another intriguing detail about their complicated history.

“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man? ‘Cause I ain’t see him yet/Matter of fact, I ain’t even bleed him yet, can I bleed him? Bet/When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad b######/I believe you don’t like women, that’s real competition, you might pop ass with ’em”

Kendrick mocked Drake’s association with Sexyy Red to question the Canadian star’s manhood. And depending on your interpretation, K. Dot’s lines can be seen as jabs at Drizzy’s misogyny or sexuality.

“Let’s speak on percentage, show me your splits/I make sure I double back with you/You was signed to a n#### that’s signed to a n#### that said he was signed to that n####/Try cease and desist on the ‘Like That’ record/Hoe, what? You ain’t like that record/’Back To Back,’ I like that record/I’ma get back to that for the record”

Kendrick responded to claims about his record deal from Drake’s “Push Ups” diss. K. Dot pointed out how Drizzy signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money label, which was a subsidiary of Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group. K. Dot also referenced Drake allegedly sending cease and desists, which Rick Ross mentioned as his reason for dissing Drizzy.

“Why would I call around tryna get dirt on n#####?/Y’all think all of my life is rap?/That’s hoe s###, I got a son to raise, but I can see you know nothin’ ’bout that”

Kendrick bashed Drake for being a bad father. Drake was famously accused of hiding his child by Pusha T.

“It ain’t 20 v. one, it’s one vs. 20 if I gotta smack n##### that write with you/Yeah, bring ’em out too, I clean ’em out too/Tell Beam that he better stay right with you”

Drake criticized multiple rappers for ganging up on him on “Push Ups.” Kendrick fired back with more ghostwriter accusations, naming Beam as one of the men allegedly writing for Drake.

“Yeah, OVO n##### is dick riders/Tell ’em run to America to imitate heritage, they can’t imitate this violence/What I learn, n##### don’t like the West Coast/And I’m fine with it, I push the line with it/Pick a n#### off one at a time with it/We can be on a three-hour time difference/Don’t speak on the family, crodie/It can get deep in the family, crodie/Talk about me and my family, crodie/Someone go bleed in your family, crodie”

Kendrick trolled Drake’s appropriation of gang culture. K. Dot repeatedly used the word “crodie” since it’s Toronto slang and the name of Drake’s cat.
