Tupac’s estate has hit Drake with a cease and desist for using his voice on “Taylor Made”. He has 24 hours to take it down. “…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.”

“Euphoria” is great rapping. It’s not exposing Drake for anything we didn’t already know (Pusha already did that). It’s not trolling (like using 2Pac AI). It’s taking facts and putting it on wax for 6 min and 24 seconds. The end.

Jay & Lil Wayne saying they never wrote their lyrics is the worst thing that’s happened to the younger generation of rappers

Pusha T sampled Jay-Z's "The Story of OJ" for "The Story of Adidon" in 2018. In 2024, Kendrick references OJ's black gloves, his trial start date and wife's funeral with "6:16 in LA" The long game.

In the light of day, “Family Matters” is a fine response. Drake is leaning into 20 v 1. It’s a cool record. But “Meet the Grahams” is diabolical. The beat, Kendrick’s psychotic calm tone, privacy violation artwork, talking to Drake’s family, timing. It’s surgical + terrifying
