He did what he did hip hop isn’t really built for large stadium performances in front of cacs like that Snoop and Dre were going crazy and them crakkas only really reacted when Eminem came out. Kendrick is usually a great live performer but they made his mic too low and the music too loud I was impressed how he saved his performance when they transitioned to Sza second half was quality
Kendrick Lamar's teenage house party music just got exposed at the Superbowl halftime performance

I enjoyed it. I know Kdot isn't everyone's cup of tea. I appreciate that he doesn't water himself down to appeal to everyone and he stays himself. Which was the messaging of the whole Sam Jackson bit in the performance . Rap has gotten too microwaved and watered down. People want these catchy bops instead of stuff with substance in it.

Dre’s half time Super Bowl show got universal acclaim. The few complaints I saw was with Snoop Dogg Crip walking and CACs mad at Eminem kneeling.
Outside of that, I heard/saw little no criticisms. That’s how you put on a show. Rihanna was below underwhelming (but she’s never been great live).
Usher was good but he’s been in the industry for over three decades so it’s no surprise. The Weeknd was marred by technical issues and it was during covid so people gave him some clemency.
I do think we will now see old washed up CAC rockers being wheeled out now unfortunately. We had a good run of black performers but you just know the next one will be Lilly white. Taylor Swift or some Bob Dylan BS.

Thecoli told us that nobody was feeling the show or had their phones out recording
I swear I hate these old lying ass out of touch nikkas so much sometimes
Which is literally all you need for a 15 min performance

Have you not seen the other TikTok’s of the crowd just standing there waiting for Kendrick to hurry up and get to “Not Like Us?”

It was a lackluster halftime show.

I definitely have seen the positive but there’s too much negativity. I’m just saying enjoy this now because they are going to end up Coldplaying or Maroon 5ing us to death. Or we are about to get that Pink Pony Club up in there

I think they should try to do more legacy acts with Hip-Hop groups and R&B acts.
I think the better Super Bowl halftime shows were the ones done by legendary artists and groups.
Modern artists just don't have enough fire behind them to really get a crowd excited. Kendrick was okay but not as extravagant as people expected, he was better as a featured guest rather than a headliner.

That halftime show was rubbish and many people PREDICTED it was going to be rubbish when it was first announced
The only reason that shyt was hyped is because somehow yall thought that dumpster fire was going to be some epic Drake funeral

He doesn’t have the catalogue for this. You have to be a household name, and have hits people recognize who don’t listen to your music.

shyt was rather weak but I assumed it would be. Kendrick makes headphone music. shyt u really have to listen to.
Drake music is made for shyt like this.
Drake and Snoop probably only rappers left I can see doing superbowl. Snoop would have pop features he could perform. Kanye too if he didnt to crazy
