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 positions himself as a dealer and entrepreneur, the track built around the boast that he supplies a superior product. The chorus loops the refrain over images of luxury shopping and material excess, whilst the verses catalogue foreign cars, designer labels, and the infrastructure of street operation. The song treats dealing as both business and identity, a source of status that demands bragging. The production sits spare and repetitive, letting Future's delivery and the hook's insistent rhythm carry the weight. He moves between celebration of wealth and casual reference to violence, the two registers bleeding into each other without friction. 'Good Dope' is straightforward in its subject matter and unironic in its stance, a track that makes no attempt to distance itself from what it describes.
"Good Dope" is a track by Future, from the album FUTURE, released 17th February 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.
