Kendrick Lamar Goes Full Carpe Diem In Super Bowl Halftime With A Fresh Swipe At Drake, Appearances By Samuel L. Jackson & SZA – Review


Hip hop's reigning champ Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl by storm today to prove he has more than a diss track to deliver a touchdown halftime performance

To that, with an audience that includes a few notables like that Chiefs fan Taylor Swift, Philly girl and former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Eagles fanatic Bradley Cooper, Adam Sandler, Kevin Costner and the spotlight addicted Donald Trump, Lamar’s halftime show came with more anticipation and perhaps anxiety than any Super Bowl performance in nearly two decades. Given 13 minutes to navigate a widely varied 15-year career in front of the biggest TV audience of the year and with Jay-Z, past collaborator Taylor Swift, Megan Thee Stallion, and Paul McCartney among those watching in the 70,000 full Superdome, the GNX artist seized the day and the elephant in the stadium at one point about halfway through the halftime show “We are confident that the evidence we will ultimately present at trial, including information we’ve already learned and continue to receive since filing the lawsuit, will expose UMG’s gross prioritization of its own corporate profits and executive bonuses over its exclusively signed artists’ well-being and the truth.”
