Childish Gambino “Yoshinoya” was an entire diss track towards Drake and I’m not seeing too many people talk about it…

(A breakdown thread 🧵)

To give some context, over a year ago, Childish Gambino went on a GQ interview and said that “This Is America” was initially a Drake diss track…

Drake then responded by dissing the song “This Is America” on his tour with the headline saying it’s “overrated and over-awarded”

A breakdown of all the references in Kendrick Lamar’s diss track…

(a thread 🧵) Starting off with the cover art that may have different meanings:

1. Euphoria is a show that Drake executively produced

2. The “change in mood” description could be tying into the change in the chill delivery in the beginning, to the more aggressive delivery after the beat switch

3. The song dropped on a Tuesday, which is subtly mentioned in the cover

4. “They had almost a week to recover” could be a hint at another diss track coming in less than a week (more on that later in the thread)
