Kendrick not performing his previous hits was a fukking genius move, business wise...not only he broke Mj record regardless, but now he's pushing new songs to smash hits status (as we can see with sales projections coming in). This nikka is just as good as Jay as a business man.

It’s really hard for a solo rap vocalist to pull off a captivating performance on that type of stage, and going with one vocal guest was a gamble. There’s a reason it’s taken this long to have a rapper solo headline the Super Bowl.

Personally I thought it was ambitious taking into account that the set list was flowing through a broader production, stage set and storytelling theme. I would have liked to have seen more GKMC, like Money Trees or bytch Don’t Kill My Vibe, instead of the heavy GNX setlist in a vacuum. His vocals and breath control were as good as any of his other live performances, and I loved the subtle lyric tweaks.

I think it will age well

The GNX songs being played as mentioned before was a genius move. Because now people are rushing to hear those now

This. Instead of making some of the most popular songs in rap more popular than they already are, he chose to push other songs and it paid off. :yeshrug:

Alright was gonna be the "national BLM anthem" no matter what. So might as well change the status of current songs that had potential to become hits too.

Exactly what Dave Free said in the new article too

Free said the team wanted to feature songs that would make viewers curious to learn more about Lamar as an artist. “It wasn’t about playing the hits,” Free said.
