What Kendrick Lamar was answering on ‘Euphoria’, and why Drake’s AI 2Pac verse mattered
A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.
Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
Future raps about excess and contradiction on 'Extra', a track built around a sample from Amber Olivier's 'One Unread'. His girlfriend questions why he lives so lavishly; he responds by cataloguing wealth, women, and the numbness that comes with both. The song moves between boasting and something closer to confession, the repetition of "extra" functioning as both a badge and an admission. The production sits in trap's familiar pocket, but the post-chorus pulls focus away from Future's voice entirely. FXXXXY's refrain about pouring drinks until pain disappears reads as counterweight to the verses' surface bravado, a moment where the song's real subject surfaces. Excess here is not quite celebration.
"Extra" is a track by Future, from the album SAVE ME, released 7th June 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

Rockstar has confirmed a dynamic score and an evolved in-game radio system for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’, while keeping the mechanics under wraps.

The liquid-filled limited edition sold out in under an hour, with resale listings now reaching more than four times its £108.99 original price.

A 34-track soundtrack featuring Travis Scott, Yung Lean, Keith Richards and more will arrive alongside ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ on 19th November.

A wave of GTA VI-styled social posts has prompted soundtrack speculation, but the publicly reported confirmation list is far shorter.

Spotify billboards using the same visual language as a wave of musician posts have prompted speculation about a 'GTA 6' campaign, though neither Spotify nor Rockstar has confirmed a partnership.
