Yooooo I peeped it live & said this motherfukker even with the biggest look he gets, he’s gonna be clever with how he performs his songs to the masses. It was To Pimp a Butterfly-esque.

Ken Artistic as fukk.


Anyone whose seen his past Grammy performances it gave us an inkling of what he had in store, especially the 2018 Grammys where he had Dave Chappelle narrate in the same manner that Sam did this time.

The death of clean versions has led to a culture of pure vulgarity. Cant even play songs around kids like you used to

Every year it gets harder and harder to find current songs you can play in public settings. You know it’s bad when you have to try to find clean versions of R&B singles.

This beef has BEEN over. They should let it die.
Enough has been done. Kendrick brining out Drake's ex? Crazy move. It needs to stop. War in hip hop is cool for a bit, for growth. But too much is destructive.

Bless.
Stick to the music you make. War (as defined by this battle) is the 6th element of hip hop. Rap is in the state it is in because the threat of getting washed doesn’t exist for those who are destructive to the culture. I agree though let this rest and revive MTG or 6:16. To remind people it wasn’t NLU that killed Drake.

N-gga shut the fcck up and oogle over Bad Bunny

And christ you Drake stans are grade A certified pathetic, ya boy lost, it's over, get over it!

Only way to counter this is if his ass performs at the World Cup next year.
I don’t like Drake. At all. Don’t even check for his music.

I’m being objective. This wasn’t a great performance. It was cool :manny:

Wayne would have had a better setlist for sure. That’s my opinion.

Yall kbots catching feelings over an opinion lol

Be for real, there is only 3-4 songs on there that sound good in 2025
Music is subjective. That’s your opinion.

The numbers say otherwise. He getting like 51 million streams per month on Spotify and he hasn’t dropped an album in over five years.

Dr Dre in La was the FIRST time a musical act had ever corresponded to the city of choice. It was a one time thing. And it’ll probably never happen again.

Kendrick Lamar was the hottest rapper of the year. Nobody from the south, north, or east was touching him. Its got nothing to do with the South and everything to do with who was the biggest credible name they could get. I live in Atlanta, I didn’t bytch about them having Maroon 5 of all bands play the Superbowl because thats just what it was. Jay-Z has done a masterful job of getting black performers that look and to me THATS the victory here. It matters little where their from as long as they can put on a good show. Kendrick put on a good show. Thats all that should matter at the end of the day.

Mane it was boring to me and many other🤷🏾‍♂️. New Orleans is the most famous musical city in country full of unique culture….and we get nothing? When this is supposed to be by “The Culture?”

No way that was the best performance he could even do. Bring out Janet and do Poetic Justice to redeem her if you want symbolism.

Same people saying it was “symbolic” with all the American flags on the promo and performance are the same ones who said they were boycotting the NFL and not standing for the anthem in 2017. Mane forget “The Culture”
