Saying Hip Hop would be in a better place without Lil Wayne is dumb. Saying Lil Wayne could only do 5 songs is also dumb.

Do you think people would play You if it had Tango Redd on it instead of Lil Wayne:comeon: Mrs. Officer was trying to blatantly recreate the success this song had.

Hip Hop becoming the #1 music genre has been a blessing and a curse. Its lead to things like this were people think performing at a Superbowl matters for an artist's legacy when it really doesn't.

No, the point being missed is Jay-Z is not a one man committee that single-handedly decides who performs. There was articles written 2+ years ago explaining the process. So this info has been around long before this Wayne sh*t.

Now, you could argue he never even submitted Wayne's name to begin the selection process but at that point we're in conspiracy theory territory because that can't be proven.

There's a process with multiple steps leading up to the final decision and for some bizarre reason people keep wanting to lay 100% of the blame on Jay.

That’s what I’m sayin they handled it on some nikka shyt for the world to see. Drake had the right idea being silent on this shyt. I’ve been telling nikkas how geeked Nicki minaj is Jay got every right not to deal with someone like that. Im sure Wayne has been in direct contact with Jay and Once Wayne pops up on stage these people are going to look stupid like a muthafukka acting like this.

I don’t think Wayne is coming out on that stage out of loyalty to Drake. Kendrick just served him an ALL TIME ass whopping and even sent shots in the announcement video. Even if Kendrick doesn’t perform Not Like Us the melody will certainly intro into one of the songs he does perform.

Knowing Kendrick, he’ll either do the show solo or maybe select a legendary New Louisiana Jazz musician or backing band to perform.

Here’s How the NFL Chooses the Super Bowl Halftime Performers​





So the league starts with popular performers who appeal to as many people as possible and goes from there. However, it’s not the NFL that chooses who takes the stage. The league comes up with a short list, but the host cities pick the Super Bowl halftime performers.

Jay has heavy influence on the performers. Rhianna credited Jay for getting her the show. Nobody pushed back on this at the time. Usher literally just said Jay is the reason he got the show. There are tons of articles on this as well like the one below:
Usher was Jay-Z’s Super Bowl call, all the way

50 cent also claims Eminem had to threaten not to perform cause Jay was blocking 50 from performing during the superbowl. So while Jay is not the sole decision maker.. The cities will only get to pick from whatever Jay's approved short list is and Jay definitely has influence and can convince them who to pick. So lets not pretend Jay doesn't have the biggest influence on who performs.

If that's the case then Jay would've had 50 pulled off the show if those rumors are true..

I'm gonna need more articles because the one you linked is the CEO of Roc Nation saying Jay decides who performs. Every neutral source says otherwise.

And if Jay has so much power over who performs then 50 wouldn't have been there. He can't have this God-like power over who can and can't do it....but in the same breath "well, Em threatened...." :mjlol:
