This was definitely in my top 3 Super Bowl halftime shows. It's probably my #1 because of the clear message that Kendrick Lamar sent. I LOVED it, and Samuel Jackson was amazing. Most people didn't get the symbolism and don't understand that rap is art. 💙
The better, maddest, crazy eyed "You motherfuckers better do right USA" "You better signup for the military motherfucking attitude!" Uncle motherfucking Sam! Dont fuck with this Uncle! Uncle will put an end cap in you!
I hope we get to see it again- it’s like it should have been him all along- the right mix of tender and tough -fierce and kind- total baddass in all the best ways
I didn't see the halftime show, because I don't have a TV and don't watch sports, but I saw a short clip first thing this morning then saw a video that broke down all of the symbolism. I thought it was mfing epic! OMG right in Cheetolini's face!
Would suggest that Samuel L Jackson should be used as the new face of America instead of Uncle Sam, but then I remembered America sucks so it'd be an insult to him.
I read it as Uncle Tom turned into the backbone of America, "Uncle Sam" -- and he wants you in this new war against Americans. I saw the bent-over black men making the flag and representing bent-over slaves in the fields picking cotton for decades upon decades, economy, the backbone of America.
Ohhhhh yes, I see it! I saw the black men flag as a whole ass visual representation of the divide in America too. I’ve read a bit on Calypso, and I am taking full pleasure in seeing it in action! All the old white confusion THATS THE POINT. IYKYK. And if you don’t know, educate yourself.
He has always been a fantastic actor but wow . I am old and have never heard of Kendrick but I loved him. The power of talented , creative people to speak truth to corrupt power.
I heard he did a good job. I didn't know he was an actor as well. I am not familiar w/ his music because it's not in my age group either but I know the youngsters enjoy it!
I heard about 2 minutes but it was really powerful.
This video is older but Billy? Spelling Porter did a video of For What It’s Worth. Check it out if you have time on YT.
Without making it terrible, I can't imagine how much more symbolically amazing it would have been if it was under Kamala and a much much less broken America lmao.
It's not Kanye – the ad is representative of the people who are trying to take over the USA right now. It cannot be seen in isolation or as exclusively a product of Kanye. Please know this. It's scary and deeply disturbing but we need to be eyes wide open right now.
Of course. But he is friendly with Dear Leader - he may have been tasked with doing allllll this to add to the havoc & pull heat from EM. Don't take it all at face value, presume every event is a play with an additional goal. There's a reason he's everywhere right now.
We cannot ignore that Nazism is being sold to us. Looking away and holding your ends over your ears going "LA LA LA LA LA" is absolutely not the right approach.
Of course I am not proposing that. We all must take what is happening extremely seriously & speak up /out. That said - KW is clinically mentally ill & should not be given airtime. Were he not wealthy he'd be wandering streets muttering to himself. He's a distraction & not worth your focus.
I had a little trouble understanding what Kendrick was laying down (rap isn't my usual forte), but what I COULD understand, I was getting the message, loud and clear. I thought the halftime show was fantastic.
I love Samuel L. A hacker had changed stuff on my phone saying he was married to judge Judy. I was actually impressed and believed it lol. Kinda scored some points for Judge Judy for a minute because I can’t stand her.
I could watch a whole film of Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam…but in this case him educating America about our real history the GOP fools are trying to bury…

Badass Uncle Sam, in theaters March 2026.

“Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto. Mr. Lamar, do you really know how to play the game?”
Merry fuckin' christmas, crackers!
The idea? No.
I'm not AI.
But I think he would be AWESOME as a Father Christmas!
I HOPE PEOPLE WERE PAYING ATTENTION:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We truly are on the wrong timeline
We def need to be talking about that, and what it signals in these very unique times.
Out-bloody-standing.
