Kendrick Lamar’s 6-minute diss track, “Euphoria” aimed at Drake had the internet in shambles on Tuesday. Not long after the song arrived, fans uncovered what K.Dot says at the very beginning, which sounds like a bunch of jumbled words. X user @DonaldDarko13 reversed the first few seconds of the record to reveal that Lamar says, “Everything they say about me’s true.” Another X user, @AndreasHale shared that the reversed audio is what Richard Pryor says in 1978’s The Wiz—a remake of 1939’s The Wizard of Oz—when he “gets exposed as a fraud.” The full line from The Wiz is longer: “Everything they say about me is true. I’m a phony.”
The intro is clearly a dig at Drizzy. Genius points out that the reverse audio is particularly interesting because Michael Jackson plays the scarecrow in The Wiz—and that could be another connection to “Like That.” On the song, Kendrick compares himself to Prince and Drake to Michael Jackson
Fourth Annual Oz Land Festival in Peekskill, New York
The Oz Land Festival is going into its fourth annual year! The festival will take place from 1-7pm on Saturday, August 17th, 2024, on South Street in downtown Peekskill, NY. The festival itself honors diversity, community, and finding your true “home” as a place within yourself where you can make all your dreams come true. Artisan vendors and food will be a part of the festival of course, but the Oz Land Festival is much more than that. There will be interactive dancing on the street. Eventgoers are encouraged to attend the festival dressed in costume as their favorite “Oz” character and feel a spirit of camaraderie with one another. There will be a costume contest as well as a full day of live entertainment, curated by Antonia, including a DJ, a storyteller, dance routines and theatrical acts, including vignettes from “The Wizard of Oz.”
