well after all the questions about what was going to happen when he took that Super Bowl stage Kendrick Lamar shocked the whole world and in the entirety of his performance redefined what a halftime show can look like and at the same time for Drake despite how much he tried to ruin this moment take it away from Kendrick and prevent not like us from being played that of course just failed as Kendrick didn't just perform what is becoming one of the most important songs that has been released in so long but because Drake has done such
embarrassing things directly because of this record like file an entire law suit Kendrick was able to humiliate him and show over 100 million viewers that Drake's career is over all while bringing hip-hop so much further than we have ever seen now before we go any further into all of this be sure to leave a like And subscribe and so now with Kendrick Lamar after all the speculation on what this halftime show was going to be Kendrick managed to seemingly live up to all of our expectations yet at the same time do something that none of
us could have predicted because with his entire set he truly redefined how artists can use the halftime slot while also showing the world how powerful of a tool hip hop is as an artistic and storytelling medium on the highest level possible and now after Kendrick said in his interview before the Super Bowl with Ebro and nesca that he likes to live in the present and was telling Timothy shalamay that man in the garden is one of the songs he is most proud of making ever we should have expected that he was going to pretty much
go all into the current greatness we are seeing from him because instead of doing what nearly every artist in Super Bowl history does which is just running through their greatest hits Kendrick once again decided to just redefine the conventions of what to expect as he decided to stand on top of the Run he just made that many would say is the greatest stretch we have ever seen from a rapper as he performed an array of all different types of songs from this one-of-a-kind chapter and tied them all together in a genius way as when it
comes to the presentation and storytelling that Kendrick put into this with the one and only and legendary Samuel L Jackson narrating the entire thing and keeping the audience on their feet with what Kendrick was going to do next along with the amazing stage design and presentation Kendrick showed that he is one of the best artists on the planet and that there are few better performers out right now as from his actual rapping ability to all of the moments he gave us along the way which again with Kendrick it's the little things like when he was
switching Around lyrics to add new context to where he is at and what is going on Kendrick showed both hip-hop fans and Casual viewers what it looks like to rap at the highest level possible and now of course as this entire performance was centering around current moments in Kendrick's career in hip-hop and Kendrick Ed so many other layers to what a live experience should be like Kendrick of course had to solidify the greatest Victory lap we have ever seen by calling out Drake here and even before he played not like us which I'm sure if
Drake was watching he was terrified to see when it would actually happen he mocked Drake even worse than Drake ever did to somebody like Meek Mill when he performed back toback by centering the entire show around creating the narrative which posed the question on if he was going to play the song in the first place and while Drake fans and oall will try to cope and say that Kendrick needed to make the show go about Drake and we are already seeing this narrative come out from them no matter what ridiculous claims they tried to say
to diminish greatness as this is a song that Drake is so upset about that he has filed suits over it they can't say anything because he already made it way bigger than their initial back and forth ever was and so because Drake has done something that because of the way he is trying to ruin and distort the rules of rap beef as a whole it's only fitting that Kendrick does everything on his end in the best interest of Hip Hop and the culture which of course left him without a choice to make fun of Drake
on this stage and of course Kendrick really did this multiple times as in typical Kendrick fashion he found some of the most clever ways to let the world know that the Drake era in hip-hop and in music is over as from when Kendrick was speaking to the world and said I want to perform their favorite song but you know they love to sue which was a clear and direct diss at Drake which in of itself with Kendrick finally addressing Drake doing this head-on it's just so great that he is clowning him for this because in
a world where some rappers stay too silent we need people like Kendrick to defend hip-hop and the culture from what Drake is doing which is trying to ruin the very art form of it all and of course Beyond this when Kendrick finally played not like us and called out Drake by name and smiled at the camera which was just hilarious and is really going to make one of the most iconic moments that we have seen from this entire era and then after this alltime great moment when he kept calling out everyone from oio and really
just packed up the most pathetic crew in hip-hop like we have never seen before and just adding to this even more with someone like Serena Williams was also making a guest appearance during this show as she was dancing in this moment this was just another great moment as Drake is still very angry about losing her because really he has spent a good portion of his sad recent albums rapping about her in the weirdest ways and so with Kendrick doing this I mean even with something as subtle as somebody dancing in the background he managed to
add another great detail that added to the performance and enhanced The Narrative he was trying to push which I am sure Dr is lived about and overall with all the different ways Kendrick humiliated Dr here which somehow after the Grammys Kendrick was able to make an event that was even worse for him it just symbolizes once and for all that hip-hop and culture is moving forward from the awful Drake era of music and with Kendrick's entire set this is the very reason why Kendrick was by far the best person they could have picked to be
at this halftime show as because of what he did we are seeing Why hip hop is in such a good place and why things are only about to get a lot better because while Kendrick mainly stayed in the present with the songs he was playing he also kicked things off by knowing what may be coming very soon in the future as of course he played the unreleased snippet that we heard in the GNX trailer before it came out and I mean with Kendrick opening up the biggest performance in music with a song that is unreleased
well I think it is telling us that even more new Kendrick music is coming very soon and he still has a lot more to say about everything going on in hip-hop for the halftime show it really set a new standard from the very second it was play it as it showed that when an artist who controls their craft and is in their Prime is on that stage it's not about what what they have done in the past and how many people can remember what they did years ago and instead it's about the experience they can
deliver in the moment and for Kendrick Lamar from the dancers Transitions and the songs themselves there is no other way to say it but this was the perfect way to cap off what has been one of the greatest chapters in hip-hop history and at the same time as Kendrick is Reinventing what this type of performance can look like as Drake is on the other side of the world looking more pathetic as he is just lazily performing random assortments of hits he had over the years to try and desperately remind people of a time where he
was not the biggest joke in hip-hop in so many different ways this is all so symbolic of the shift we are seeing in rap music in real time and really the fact that Kendrick called out Drake and no matter what OBO and everyone else tries to say and cover things up you can see just how excited the crowd was to yell Out lyrics to Not Like Us in real time I mean after everything Drake did to try and avoid this moment from happening it really sounds even funnier and sounds even better than it would have
before especially because of all the crash outs and embarrassing moments Drake has had recently which were used against him right in this performance to make him look worse than we have ever seen and I mean if you're Drake the fact that you were dissed at the Super Bowl and looked this terrible because Kendrick Jay and the NFL did just Embrace having not like us played and letting Kendrick perform the genre altering song at the biggest moment possible I mean while Drake and everybody else are going to try and find ways to make this moment sound
like it was not as bad for them regardless of what they say in reality there is no coming back from this because beyond all the claims Drake tried to make to take away from what this record was doing as of course in that paperwork that he loved to send out he said that the popularity of this song was faked he is once again regretting his words because we have now seen in real time and at the highest level and Stage you could ever possibly see that the record worked and that it truly did make one
of the greatest impacts we have ever witnessed in hip-hop history because just to have a Dis Track be played at the Super Bowl I mean while Kendrick has normalized this now if you would have told anybody before this beef that a disc was going to be played on a stage like this it just sounded impossible but once again playing into the theme of this entire show that has defined Itself by Kendrick Lamar has really just been pushing hip-hop forward and showing how the genre should be evolving with the right people taking things forward and really
when it comes to Kendrick Lamar just evolving the entire halftime show alongside hipop as an art form and culture due to the fact that Kendrick Drew up an entire new playbook on how to do the biggest Show in music when we look back at this performance we are going to remember it for how special it was for so many reasons as instead of getting a highlight reel of what the artist on stage was was we are seeing who the artist is in the very moment which overall gave us one-of aind memories that we are never
going to forget like Kendrick rapping what is one of the greatest lyrical performances of all time in Euphoria at the Super Bowl we're of course seeing him do man at the Garden which was such a powerful moment and even him doing peekaboo was so unexpected but exciting and I mean of course Kendrick did some recent hits from a few years ago like humble and DNA which also sounded amazing and fit right into the story and narrative he was using all throughout pretty well and does Kendrick also Al performed all of the stars and Luther we
got a preview of just how great the grand national tour is going to be and maybe even got a preview of the fact that Kendrick and siza have more music on the way because with the chemistry these two have and with how amazing siza's voice is in this setting they really highlighted that they are one of the best Duos we have working in music today and I mean from some of Kendrick's biggest recent hits like we saw the seeing siza to all of the songs from GNX which were played and the ending which seriously was
one of the greatest hip-hop and halftime show moments ever with that run from not like do to TV off which just captured every single thing this moment and chapter has been about overall the fact that Kendrick Lamar was able to humiliate Drake play album tracks that other artists would have never even thought of playing on their tours and with Samuel L Jackson and all the times he spoke to the crowd altogether he was able to bridge this show with a narrative which just in the history of all the other halftime shows is something we have
never seen because no artist has ever put this much detail into the entire experience they were creating overall when we look at everything this show is going to represent we will look back at this as the moment Kendrick just pushed what rap as a medium can do and he really set a new standard and precedent on what we can see going forward because after the entire Drake era of Music where people got so tired of what was going on in hip-hop and music for that matter because there was too much Flash and not enough substance
Kendrick showed what the difference in hip-hop will be with him in control of everything which is just showcasing that now the little things matter within the art again and that especially for a genre like hip-hop where no matter how people have tried to change things your words matter more than anything else that we are truly headed back into an era where Integrity matters and competition is important and because these things are at the Forefront and if rappers can replicate even a little bit of what Kendrick did here MC's will be pushing themselves to make their
best material yet and maybe even we can see somebody get on this stage very soon because this is the era we are now officially in as the bar in rap music and what hip-hop can be has been set so much higher than any other rapper ever has before it's safe to say with all of this being clear that this show from Kendrick is not just one of the most important moments in hip-hop history but it's really one of the best and it's also one of the best halftime shows we have ever seen and with all
of this happening right now what is very clear is that we are about to witness a time that is going to be one of the most special eras for hip-hop ever and so now with all of this said let me know what did you think of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show what was your favorite aspect and moment what song was your favorite to hear and what do you think we are going to see moving forward from this do you think Kendrick had any other hidden messages I missed and do you think Kendrick has music coming very
