Kendrick’s trash superbowl performance is the life line Drake needed

[Diunx]

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

Bu bu but he didn't dance and wave his hands

 

[No1]

Its getting crazy that you have to preemptively announce you not a drake fan before you criticize Kendrick. Smh

I absolutely hate drake. But this halftime show was straight trash.

*sees only Drake stans dapping*

All black imagery
Having Sam Jackson stand as Uncle Sam which was damn near a triple aunt andre
All black dancers
Black symbolism in its rawest form
But y’all nikkas problack and ready to buss a gun at white folks
Between clown ass op and the rest of you gumps
This is why the DOE is getting abolished
Minus whale get rid of it to control the masses because clearly idiots reign supreme
nikka put on a real performance
But you want this nikka to be up there shucking and jiving
Dance boy dance
Y’all problack until it comes to entertainment that’s deeper than a rain puddle
Enjoy being Huey P at that white mans desk this morning
Y’all about to be showing all them teeth when Biff comes to your desk and start talking that shyt
Then you weird nikkas gon run to thecoli
I damn near killed a cac this morning for talking crazy about black people
I’m shaking right now
Fake problack posters please hug me with virtual daps

By the way,I missed this part

Performative

 

[Cladyclad]

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.

Teasing NLU during the entire performance
Wearing the chain
Game over in the crowd
Etc…

Nobody give a fukk about none of that shyt nikka. Nobody in the crowd gave a fukk. Him performing “Alright” in front of that MAGA crowd with Trump in the audience would’ve smoked all this shyt u talkin bout. shyt would’ve been the single most hip hop shyt that ever happened at the Super Bowl.

 

[CrimsonTider]

shyt mad cringe. Her Crip Walk was dirt too. Lol

Not only that, last time I saw Kendrick on a stage he was a blood

 

[threattonature]

Watched the youtube version and it's much better as the audio in the first half seems more cleaned up. I think the biggest mistake was not having a crowd around him. Some of those songs hit much harder with the crowd energy being there. Good performance overall but won't be particularly reference amongst the great performances going forward.

 

[CrimsonTider]

NLU has become his personality

It reminds of how Nas is your personality

 

[Bboystyle]

I turned the entire game off at half time. Glad i missed the horrific half time show. Everything was ass about this SB. The game itself, commercials, and now im reading the half time show.

 

[23Barrettcity]

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.

His chain the little a is the pg lang logo .

 

[Jards]

I'm a K Dot fan. Super mid until All The Stars & NLU. Sza was mid too.

Focused too much attention on dissing and trolling Drake.

Didn't perform Be Alright or Kill My Vibe.

I’ve not managed to catch the performance but I’m surprised he didnt perform Alright, especially with it being Black History Month. Also surprised he didnt have a band, choir or something like that - he’s the ultimate showman so I thought he would’ve pulled out all the stops on what people regard as one of the biggest stages for a music artist.

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Why would it not be trash? he fukking sucks

nikkas prop up a mediocre rapper like Kendrick for years and be shocked at the results

RIP Combat Jack....Reg called out this no talent over a decade ago when I had a big blog (back when blogs really mattered)
and these industry clowns were pushing him like crazy this was like 2009 I gave him an honest listen nikka was ass
it was rappers on soundclick better than him most of these blog pretended to like him for kick backs but I didn't give a fukk

He sucked in 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and now 2025 he was never that good

Having the whole industry behind you ain't gonna make you dope or entertaining he's not one of the greats
and no amount of dikkriding is ever gonna change that.....No matter how you feel about him WAYNE would have killed this shyt

even GAME would have killed this shyt nikkas need to stop lying to themselves about this lame he don't have "it" period
