Kendrick Lamar doing the SuperBowl Halftime show

[iliketurtles]

So we all agreed it was some hot trash good job

 

[Mike18jj]

The big Suprise was Serena and Sam Jackson, nikka what?

This and the weeknd the 2 worst Super Bowl Performances out of the modern era

I'm a Kendrick fan also before Y'all accuse me of being OVO

 

[Jerz-2]

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR....

Serena was looking GOOD AS HELL doin her dance.

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR....

Serena was looking GOOD AS HELL doin her dance.

The confidence in here face when she looked into the camera combined with how toned her legs were…she can crip walk on me whenever

The ones hating on it don't care about the culture or hip-hop.
They're MAGA/Right-Wing/Conservative (publications like Dailymail) and OVO/Drake fans who care more about the pop-side of Drake.

Then there are the few in our community obsessed with Lil Wayne and other ignorant BS.

With Drake/OVO's connection with these red pill/incel streamers, there's a lot of overlap between that crowd and white supremacy/MAGA.

Again Hip Hop AF

Looking at my set list predictions I assumed he'd just do his hits like anybody would. This nikka got up there and damn near did a B Side show for the Super Bowl.. then had a narrative to go along with it

That was for Hip Hop, not the NFL

 

[Ziggiy]

Snoop finally off the edibles

 

[Carl Tethers]

Yet these goofs are like 'but bu bu that's the only line they know' like that somehow makes it a win for Drake.

"he only pissed on his leg" levels of cope

 

[King Poetic]

Solid

Nothing spectacular but it was good

Anyone whose watched a Kendrick Lamar performance the last 10 years should have been prepared to expect the unexpected. This man has been known to premiere unreleased songs and verses on national tv appearances, incorporate theatrical stage production laced with cryptic messaging all wrapped up in a package that keeps people guessing and chatting for days on end. This is LITERALLY how we ended up getting Untitled Unmastered and some of his most iconic Grammy performances. The nikka was NEVER going to get up there and have a bunch of guests while performing songs he’d already done two years ago or rehashed at the Pop Up. Really in hindsight we Hip Hop heads on the Coli should’ve known he was going to go out of the box. Thats the performer he’s always been.

I loved it personally, except for his mic at the beginning being too low it was a pretty flawless performance from him. SZA outta be ashamed of herself for lip syncing her entire performance while Dot was rapping without even backing vocals 95% of his set. Dude danced, moved, and ran between set pieces rapping while switching up words and lyrics and not losing his flow ONCE. Thats a masterclass of performance artistry the likes of which I haven’t seen an MC do live since Black Thought almost 20 years ago. Kendrick deserves a MOUNTAIN of credit for that alone. My favorite parts were the Man in the Garden and Peakaboo segments and the cheeky shots at Drake before unleashing Not Like Us. Samuel L Jackson was also a nice touch and felt like a nod to his character in Spike Lee’s Chiraq film.

Overall I give it a 8.5/10. Without the mic issues in the beginning and if SZA would’ve actually TRIED to sing just a little I would’ve given it a 9. But as it stands Kendrick did his thing.


Dot need to quit playing and drop that snippet.

Folks are forcing themselves to like this performance. And if you didn’t like it, you're illiterate or missed all the symbolism, is what makes K.Dot fans just as corny as Drake fans.

Woke up and saw some coli brehs saying the performance was trash.

Just finished watching...must have been the same hating Crodies cause I thought it was great, especially considering it's the first time a lot of these songs were performed at the biggest stage.

Liked how the Samuel L parts transitioned the tracks.
NLU into TV Off was exactly how I imagined he would do it.

Word … dope performance…. Even my kids liked it

@kaedwards14
thinking that performance was pandering to republicans is a degree of media illiteracy i didn’t know was possible

[Quoted tweet]
A few years ago, they were endorsing burning the USA flag, and now Samuel L. Jackson is Uncle Sam at the Super Bowl.

Hollywood is desperately trying to get America to pay attention to them again.

Like when The Boys fans didn’t know the show was making fun of them until it got blatantly obvious

It checks out, same crowd that roots for freedom fighters in fictional media but are the first to call them terrorists when they see the oppressed fight back irl

@EvaZelle
…they should’ve watched Boondocks…that would’ve prepared them for the sort of multilayered performance this was

Some people just see what they want to see.

Whether you like it or not; articulate your thoughts.

Why shouldn’t folks like the performance?

 

[MarcP]

Ya'll was in here pushing the same talking points as this goof just with less c00nery

 

[Theo Penn]

Y’all remember the video about Peekaboo’s connection to Silent Hill and XXXtentacion’s death? Did y’all notice that when Dot pops up and the camera goes to the overview, he is standing on an X.



Easter eggs all in this bih
