I am not the target market. I found it to be not entertaining at all
Well. There is this back story about how he accused Drake of being a pedophile. Lots of lawsuits going on…
Lamar says, "Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one."
Lamar references Drake's 2021 LP "Certified Lover Boy" saying, "Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles."
In the song's most infamous line, Lamar brings home his point: "Why you trollin' like a b—? Ain't you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A-minor."
The cover art of the single showcases a bird's-eye view of Drake's estate in Toronto that has been altered to resemble a sex offender registry map, which highlights the residences of convicted offenders.
Other than doubling down on his allegations of Drake's pedophilia and inappropriate sexual behavior with minors, Lamar also criticizes his cultural identity, accusing him of exploiting Black artists from Atlanta for "street credibility." He also references his personal incidents with J. Cole, Lil Wayne and Serena Williams.
Fans and music critics alike said at the time that this track solidified Lamar's victory in the beef.

Inside the lyrics and meaning of the controversial 'Not Like Us' diss track.
At least one Lamar finally got to play in a Super Bowl
How’d I know the old white folks would be on here, befuddled? The extended family group chat was just like you guys. I just laughed.
Of course, I grew up on rap and R&B, and Kendrick’s a talented artist. My son has his poster up in his room, and I think I know more Kendrick songs than he does.
The show itself wasn’t as high energy as you’d want at a Super Bowl … that’s not his vibe, so I actually thought it was an odd choice. But I respect him as an artist. The Dr. Dre (and friends) show was an absolutely perfect halftime show. This was just OK.

I think Up With People must have already been booked for the evening.
Seriously, all the great music to be found in New Orleans and this is what they put out there? At least Trombone Shorty got to play a wonderful rendition of America the Beautiful before the game.

I liked the Grand National everyone climbed out of and Samuel L. That was about it. I don't mind rap, but this just didn't do it for me. I'd rate it on par with the Chief's offensive performance.
Totally sucked. I would rather watch a chorus of randomly picked third graders than the trash presented last night. The singer had no talent whatsoever. Couldn't sing. Couldn't dance. Totally useless.
Interesting!Well. There is this back story about how he accused Drake of being a pedophile. Lots of lawsuits going on…

Inside the lyrics and meaning of the controversial 'Not Like Us' diss track.
My personal feeling is that it wasn't very entertaining. Admittedly, I have no appreciation for rap.
As a boomer, I'm used to being the Target audience. I still remember the first time I saw a Cadillac commercial, during the Masters, that featured Led Zeppelin. I was clearly not the target audience last night.
I am reading about a lot of messaging and imagery in the stage sets, which was pretty imaginative. Lots of shots at Drake. KL has made a lot of statements that Drake has been involved in human trafficking similar to claims against Diddy and others in the industry. If fact, some of his lyrics stated this. And he brought out some gals that dated Drake in the past and made a giant "X" (his exes?). There was also a lot of messaging around the USA, the flag and Uncle Sam. A lot of talk about a "revolution". Nobody seems to know exactly what he was talking about. Hell, the Beatles made a song named "Revolution" in 1968. Young men and women always talk about a "revolution" and then go back to the same old stuff. Instead of "revolution", I am more of a The Who's "Meet the new boss...same as the old boss...won't get fooled again".
and this is kinda funny...United Airlines

Thanks. I really couldn't follow the lyrics. To be honest, I was expecting something more Satanic, like the opening ceremonies in Paris last year. So, the messaging does interest me. I'm willing to bet that had the election gone the other way, we would have seen something quite different last night.
The singer? You mean SZA? She's extremely talented.
And she's much better than wheeling out the corpses of rock bands of yore.
Maybe the next halftime show should center around Post Malone, who could bring out guest stars straddling the typical modern day youth and the "I talked to a black guy once, so I'm not racist" crowd that gravitates toward today's pop country music.
Why do people keep watching it with expectations that it will entertain them?

Yeah you’re right. We are all a bunch of stupid racists who subscribe to Keith Richards’ profound statement that rap is for the done deaf. Enjoy
When the singer was born his father owned a GNX and he was brought home from the hospital in one. A salute to his roots.
It's impossible to get everyone to like a halftime show--everyone has different tastes
It was simply too long IMO--I'm not going to pretend that artists weren't talented--just left never ending

Many a true word is spoken in jest.
Regardless, Keith is old. His synapses are shutting down (aided by all the coke, heroin and booze he abused). He fails to remember how much criticism the Stones got for their "music" back in the day. Then again, Richards has long been an old man yelling at clouds, having blasted heavy metal (specifically Metallica and Black Sabbath), rock 'n roll, the Beatles ... and just about anything and everything. But that's cool if you think you should take your lead from a guy who thought shooting heroin into his veins was a good idea.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was a masterclass in storytelling—and shade
From hidden messages to Serena Williams’ C-walk, Kendrick Lamar made sure the revolution was televised at the Superbowl Halftime show.

You managed to bring some race card into this now all you need to do is top it off with some climate change. FFS
How do you go to New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz, and chose a 'rap' to entertain the crowd? Mind blogging NFL.
To sum ... a bunch of old white dudes gather to blast one of the more respected artists of a different genre of music, using old stereotypes to do so, and even admitting that they're old and white ... and the accusation is that I brought the race card into this. You're cute and stupid. Go away.
Should have had the Village People perform. They would have brought down the house.
Ever hear of sarcasm? Rap being a genre of “music” is absolutely hilarious. Yeah this old white dude is “cute and stupid” for liking Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, and other black artists who had/have talent.
