I think the performance will age very well.

In 10 years when kids who grew up with GNX being their introduction to Kendrick. Will see this performance and get that nostalgia we all wanted.

FD Signifier's take on it was mad annoying as well like nigga it has to be a performance at the end of the day it cant just be all pushing political agenda tf

No way AK, and Akademiks TV are in cahoots 🤯🤯

Most people watching are not clued into hip hop like that man come on. I understand the reigning theory around here is “normie listeners don’t matter to the culture” and I mean okay sure but is that not what the half time show represents? I agree Drake got f***ing demolished and the Super Bowl half time show extending the diss to him is a generational loss so this isn’t a cope about him or the beef. It’s that making arguably the biggest moment in your career about the beef has a material affect on how people view you - and I’m sorry but when normie listeners are courted en masse they do define your legacy. Look at Snoop.

LMAO CRAZY ASS NIGGA

Because he did that at the last SB he performed at.

Just imagine you’re a 14 year old who just learned about Kendrick through NLU. GNX will probably be there favorite album and in a decade they will look back at the performance and reminisce low key.

We suffer but I can see the method to the madness.

No money trees hurt though. I needed a live
Rendition of money trees

they already saying he dragging it
now niggas are saying he wasnt political enough i hate it here

He did exactly what should’ve been done

Maybe it’s cause I’m old af and was in college when Section 80 and Take Care dropped, but I always just looked at Kendrick as coming up in the same class as Drake, just different labels. Never really saw Drake over him popularity wise at all, and always saw them as peers

I don’t disagree I said pre-SB that was a problem I had with the whole setup

They still think Kendrick is a social activist? Its 2025

Not Like Us might be the new black national anthem. I haven’t heard it one time and it didn’t go.

kingjared literally looks like the meme niggas use to describe the average kendrick fan

nigga just had a whole apple interview talkin about wanting to make music with hard beats and these b****ass niggas still think it's tpab era

Drakes success predates Kenny by a couple of years

Drake started blowing up around 2009 and Kendrick started blowing up around 2012/2013

So in 2011, getting that co-sign from Drake definitely gave him a boost and some people for sure discovered him from Buried Alive.

He look like the white version of

Lowkey disappointed Kendrick didnt put all five Grammys on stage with Daft Punk helmets on each end

You didn't really answer my question lol. Yes NLU is Kendrick's biggest song but why is him being the NLU rapper mutually exclusive from him being the guy that made DAMN and TPAB? Anybody that takes a passing interest of him from NLU will also listen to those albums. Humble just went double diamond. GKMC is still charting on the top 100 albums if I'm not mistaken. Y'all are overreacting.

Drake’s co-sign didn’t make another single artist like Kendrick.

Dre co-signed at least gave us Eminem, 50, Snoop and Kendrick

It helped but the Yeezus tour help just as much in my opinion and we don’t give Kanye
Credit for that.

As matter of fact Kendrick only started performing well after the Yeezus tour

i feel like most niggas discovered dot from rigamortis, adhd, swimming pools--i didnt learn about buried alive until much later didnt even know it was him when i first heard it

They need to move on
