I'm still thinking about that halftime show. Certainly the greatest since at least Prince, possibly even better than that. Getting the crowd in on dissing Drake was one of the highlights for sure, but the choreography for Humble also sticks out to me.

Lots of political and cultural themes. Too bad a Mr someone in the audience left early. Then having Drakes ex’s dance on stage to his diss track was icing on top. And that a minor necklace he was wearing was DIABOLICAL.

I am a big Lamar fan so that was 10/10

But I understand it’s not for everyone

I don't watch the NFL so didn't see any of this but I find it hard to care about multi millionaires feuding.

Seems like many folks also didn’t realize that Uncle Sam/Tom played by Samuel Jackson is a charcuterie of themselves watching the show. Wanting him to not be so ghetto. Telling him to play the “American Game” the way they want it. Expecting a certain decorum.

Uncle Sam/Tom = The fans that are screaming

“WORST HALFTIME SHOW EVER”

“I don’t understand what he is saying”

“Where are the white people!?”

“This is why society is going downhill!!”

All the while Lamar is telling a very deep story. The reactions last night and today will continue propping up his performance.

TLDR : the point went over millions of heads last night

I expected something elaborate from Kendrick, he met my expectations.

He understood the assignment, and met the moment. Great show.

It was a lot more than that

When Lamar performs its storytelling. Lots of lots of deep themes in that show yesterday. Definitely worth a watch

I saw some clips, to me it's amazing for an account that is all about movies and production yet can't tell that this isn't the entire crowd singing but a backing track...

I’m sure there was backing, it’s the Super Bowl. They aren’t the artists fans. But a lot of the crowd did sing it. It was one of the most popular songs of the year.



But this is semantics away from the point of his performance.

I'm sure some people did but when you listen to the song it's the same louder part as it is in the song on the music video. Certainly not the entire stadium though and I get the semantics about it but it's also the part of social media I hate where they proclaim this stuff that isn't true, especially when we all know that half the crowd is people who absolutely don't know the words to this song no matter how popular it is.

Yeah that kind of stuff no longer bothers me. The majority of this human population are legitimately morons. I know it was mostly backing with some percentage of the crowd singing along. I can only control my own knowledge.

But that is just small stuff compared to the bigger picture. It’s rare that an artist takes advantage of a spotlight that big and absolutely nail it like that. Even folks who don’t like rap should give him props for nailing what he wanted to do. Got multiple messages out while performing some of his top tier songs at an expert level. That style of rap is incredibly hard to pull off live. He is the best in the world of that currently.
