Jay Z Comments On Kendrick Lamar Headlining the 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show

[Black Excellence]

Look at the history of when Jayz has selected an artist. Rihanna, Usher and Dre all deserving but non of them were hot. This has been going to legacy artist who have a solid history of hits the past 3 years. Kendrick doesn’t have more hits than artist like Wayne or Kanye. He still writing his legacy imo.

Even if you want to base this off music that’s come out since the 2020s. Kendrick still behind Drake in terms of impact and hits

So he switched it up due to Kendrick having a crazy year in music.

Objectively Kendrick is a perfect choice given the fact 2024 been an extreme high for him and he can use this as a rollout for his album.

I don’t see how this is Jay latching onto a beef, it’s business.

There have been artist who have been much hotter than Kendrick over the past 4 years. Swift, weekend, Drake, Adele for example. Kendrick not hit off an album. Mainly do yo one diss track

 

[Nuuko]

That’s the line. It’s not people were suggesting Kendrick for this at all. Wayne, Kanye, Em or Drake are more deserving imo

This is just Jay latching himself onto this beef.

Lol at any of these names being good performers for a superbowl show...Eminem is the only one.
kendrick had this in the bag, objectively.

Kendrick has been considered as one of the absolute best performers for a minute.
Kendrick also had the best selling rap tour of all time with his last album, and he still holds that record as a solo rapper.

Lol at the idea of Drake, Wayne, Em or kanye headlining the superbowl in 2024 instead of Kendrick. That's pure dikkriding fukkery, or clear lack of knowledge. Kendrick was the clear choice and many complained he wasn't the solo performer 2 years ago.

 

[derro13]

Kendrick was the best choice, clearly. Even before the beef.

Didn’t realize Kendrick was signed to Pan African Records

He is indie though

 

[tehparadox]

Kendrick been the biggest and most relevant rap artist for years now , makes sense

 

[tehparadox]

like Billboard said, kendrick has always been the hottest rapper, specially considering his crazy streams vs catalog size

Thought it would be Taylor swift but that might’ve been too much Taylor for the nfl

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

shout out to dave for his contributions to tde from the beginning and knowing how to play the role perfectly including not even being publically bothered by drake's lame bs.

Will they let KDot perform Not Like Us during the Super Bowl? That's the real question.

Maybe as part of a medley but certainly not the whole thing. Artists rarely perform entire songs during the halftime show anyways. Start with the beat, half the first verse and chorus and blend it into Humble or DNA.

He can CERTAINLY do Like That though. I could see him closing with that one.

But i think we’re discounting the very real possibility that new album drops between now and then, which means the focus would shift to whatever lead single he’d have released then.

 

[Ziggiy]

The whole song will be played, even the grammy backed it, the industry backed it, that shyt was a smash hit. Of course they gonna let him perform the song lmao

Their not letting NO ARTIST up in front of 50 million people watching across the country on NETWORK TELEVISION shout out “Certified Lover Boy CERTIFIED PEDOPHILE!”

Lets be realistic.

I'm just a bit disappointed that this means that they're not letting him do Los Angeles solo when the Chargers host in 2027.

Interested in seeing who gets that one. Seems like Taylor's been primed to do one SOON.

You or I have a better chance of headlining the Super Bowl halftime than Kanye does.
