I keep seeing this take and it's weird...He literally performed pretty much half of his newest album, how was the performance all about Drake??

It was about performing mostly his newest shyt in front of the biggest audience possible, hence we didn't get the "safe" setlist.

It's completely on brand for how Kendrick has been framing his identity since the Big Steppers. He's been on the Power of Now. And, showing up in the present... so with the lawsuits and existing media leading up to the Superbowl. He chose to address the matter directly and basically said. "yeah, you tried to silence me but you can't do shyt so here eat this"

Most of the shyt there was a subliminal to Drake. Even down the the jewelry. My point is the nikka could’ve and should’ve shown out. Show nikkas why he’s that nikka. Instead he chose the route he chose. shyt wasn’t built for a Super Bowl performance. I would’ve been mad af if Nas only chose to do Kings Disease shyt for a Super Bowl performance if he ever got a chance.

And instead, he gave them hip hop in its rawest form, solid mic control, imagery and Easter eggs. He kept it hip hop. The Gall and audacity to perform Man at the garden.... a pure HIP HOP track, a nod to Nas.... at the Bowl and so called "hip hop fans" have the nerve to complain :wow:

Californ-i-a by way of BK
The show wasn't bad. The sound quality wasn't Great because the acoustic suck in that stadium. The sound got better the second half of the performance. Kendrick's lyrics was getting drowned out in the beginning
Yeah my only complaint was the sound quality.

Outside of that, I enjoyed it.

Yea whatever nikka. The Dr Dre shyt was hip hop. And was 10 times better. U saying his hit records aren’t hip hop records? I don’t get wtf yall tryna say wit this. So because what he COULDVE performed was known records. Them records not hip hop? nikka him performing “Alright” on that stage in front of that crowd wit Trump there would’ve been the most Hip Hop shyt he could’ve done. Cut the shyt.
