NEWS: Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance is projected by Fox to be the most-watched halftime performance in Super Bowl history. Expected to top 130 million viewers for the performance when the final number comes out.

"The halftime show was boring."

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

“Why didn’t Kendrick say ‘fuck Trump’?”

Did… did you see the show?

Please children, I know yall have been using cliff notes and ChatGPT your whole lives, but I’m about to do a 42 part series on media literacy and the power of symbolism for yall.

Still not over Uncle Sam mocking the critique of Black music and culture as uncivilized and ghetto and then doubling down by saying America appreciates calm and peace, the exact moment Kendrick turned the whole thing around.

And with the white supremacist in chief in attendance? Masterful.

Weird how all the people upset by the Kendrick performance are almost all incredibly unsettling guys with a myriad of accusations against them anywayyyyys guess they don’t like rap or something

SO MANY LAYERS.

Calling out the hypocrisy of the current political moment.
Elevating Black culture, especially BLACK LA.

Sums it up, doesn't it? What, he's saying Kendrick Lamar lacks sufficient merit to perform his hit song everybody knows?

Obviously not. The objection to DEI begins and ends with racism. Nothing more to it.

Tired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they're racist

Wired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they feel attacked by his anti-pedophile stance

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.
