Just turn off the game, Kendrick won the whole damn thing.

That was compelling I'm not a big rap/Kendrick but that was truly captivating

Yes, I didn't really understand the words, but the choreography was tight.💯 -E

Nothing will top Prince, but that was close.

This was one of those pre-baked takes you were gonna put out there regardless of what happened

This is the part that stayed with me: there was intention!

What were the other two (or three)?

I protested the Super Bowl, but saw it on an app that posted the whole show. It looked amazing!!! Definitely artistic, and he won a Pulitzer for a reason 😍

Also, he managed to perform his songs without getting bleeped which is just an amazing amount of work on his part. Incredible showmanship.

Fake plastic overpriced crap. The story of America.

I never knew this until tonight...He was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music, becoming the first musician outside of the classical and jazz genres to receive the honor.

An all time favorite now.

That’s a slightly more eloquent way of putting it than I managed. 😉

Also not very hop

I'll stand with you on that.

The symbolism outstanding. The Xbox controller symbols, the street with yard markings. Uncle Sam caricature. And at one point said "referee deduct one life" this was masterful

This stood out to me. Most halftime shows are legacy acts playing the hits. Kendrick almost never dipped into anything outside of 2024 releases. If you’re not in touch with modern hip hop, you’ll be lost listening to this concert.

The fact that he’s twenty years into his career is astonishing.

🔥💯

Beyonce???? Lady Gaga? Be serious for like 5 seconds.

Def in the top 5

1, why so desperate for my attention that you'd respond TWICE 6hrs apart? 2, yes literally. 3, is rap NOT music? 4, i prefer alt rock too, but the majority of the bands who chart NOW? became popular a decade+ prior or they're Billie Eilish. U2 & RHCP are not current bands.

It's not current music. It's current rap. It's a far cry from other genres such as current Alt Rock.

You were inconvenienced? You didn't have familiar things dropped into your open mouth like a baby bird? Exposed to something new? Gosh that's hard to process. Was it a disturbing experience? That's really hard, and it's all too much. Don't worry you can watch Kid Rock any time over on Truth Social.

Universal interest? The entire stadium sang along. I think you’re just a MAGA person and you would’ve rather Kid Rock play.

Ok I'm there with you now, took me a minute.

Perfection.

Heh, sounds cool. I didn't see cause I didn't watch. Occasionally when I do I like the halftime show, often I don't get it, but I don't blame pop culture much for me being out of touch with pop culture. Since I don't know who that even is though, if it's art, then I might get some idea. :)

I didn’t breathe the whole time. Phenomenal.

All rap is garbage Rap is not "music" Music has instrumentation Guitar, piano, organ, horns, strings And singers with range who sing about love, life experiences Rap has pulsating bass and drums And hateful monotone lyrics Garbage

not really sure how artistic it all was…

True 🏆🏆🏆

This isn’t a new concept… it’s been done countless times before

Mind blowing

Facts!

Loved it

Timing much needed

I sat out the SB and man. To get all the highlights and learn of the poetry was honestly such a relief-- a release of I feel, collective tensions. ❤️ Very proud of this country's people making a scene and having fun in the face of chaos. ✨️

Timely, timeless.

I was really impressed with the choreography in particular. That’s my background and I truly have no notes. I often feel like rap backup dance Choreo is often really lackluster but this was visually perfect. The costumes too. He really said 🇺🇸

First time I've been excited for a halftime show since Prince!!

Prince locked the Greatest Halftime Show behind him :-)

I dunno who counts on that but there was a big difference how fortunes worked out depending on if you got through college before all the guttings of budgets and loan issues dropped on us.

the weekend's was underrated imo

Yes

Right?

🥰

His performance was the representation of those who made/make America great. Break the stereotypes. He is not only a Grammy winning Artist, but has a Pulitzer. A poet of our times.

As long as you recognized the beauty. There's definitely gonna be breakdowns on his subtext soon.

6. Protecting black women like Serena Williams after the disrespect from Drake (Karma NEVER misses) 7. And once again reminding Drake and America "They Not Like Us".. OUR CULTURE IS AUTHENTIC✊🏾🖤❤️💚💛 8. Turn the tv off.. due to the state of the world. (Organize & Unite)

Facts

I actually only see them after superbowl Sunday

Every single tv performance Kendrick has done- Colbert, SNL, Grammys, etc have been brilliant works of performance art. We are so fortunate to have him and his art in our time.

My husband said it was the most avant-garde halftime show ever. Just incredible. We all enjoyed it immensely. 💙🤍❤️🎶

Yes!

*Its

It was shot like a music video, like a really good music video! Absolutely brilliant and so creative. Like it looked so good!

Agree!

I dunno, man. He had an entire stadium gleefully (and extremely loudly) calling another A-lister a pedophile. I think it broke through.

What did it say?

I’d hope it spoke to a lot more.
