15 Rappers Who Should Have Used Google Before Writing Their Verses
Though Kendrick Lamar’s highly-anticipated Drake diss track,
“Euphoria” managed to blow Drizzy’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” out of the water (if we do say so ourselves) there’s one problem with K-Dot’s instant classic: Televangelist Joel Osteen may be many things, but a film actor is not among them.
Rough five and a half minutes into the already-iconic piece, Lamar takes aim at Drake’s use of AI-rendered verses from 2Pac and Snoop Dogg in his original diss track, referencing several iconic films to deliver the blow.
“Am I battlin' ghost or AI? N— feelin' like Joel Osteen/
Funny, he was in a film called ‘AI’/
And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him”
As several fans noted on Twitter, it appears Lamar tried to reference Haley Joel Osment, the actor who appeared in The Sixth Sense and AI. Instead, the rapper name apparently conflated the former child star with megachurch pastor, Osteen.
Yet Lamar is far from alone in errors like these. From if Mozart was ever a painter to whether one can blow a cello, here are 15 factual errors featured in popular rap songs
