What Kendrick Lamar was answering on ‘Euphoria’, and why Drake’s AI 2Pac verse mattered

Tickets. Dates. What’s the story?Explore the tour About This Track
Future and YG navigate the tension between material excess and emotional absence on 'Extra Luv'. The track builds around a central contradiction: a lifestyle of luxury and conquest that leaves no room for genuine connection. Future's verses catalogue the trappings of success, Lamborghinis, private islands, designer excess, whilst the chorus insists that nobody involved actually loves anybody. It's a portrait of abundance as a kind of emptiness. The production moves between trap percussion and a melodic hook that carries the weight of the song's emotional claim. YG's verse shifts the focus to street credentials and neighbourhood mythology, grounding the track's material obsessions in a different register. Throughout, the refrain "it's my lifestyle" functions less as a boast than as an explanation, or perhaps an excuse.
"Extra Luv" is a track by Future, from the album FUTURE, released 30th June 2017. 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.
