Watching Kendrick Lamar halftime show again. As I said when I was on CHGO Bears, I don't think he's getting enough credit for what he did on the mic & how flawless it was. Editing himself live. No backing vocals. Skits, choreography, new songs/verses. That shit was Hip Hop. Wasn't commercial at all - ThreadSky

Everything about that show was perfection. Emmy worthy!

Living rent free in my mind for the unforeseen future

jenbodnar.bsky.social•9 days ago

And the fact that we all are still talking about means he did his job! That man is a genius period

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Exactly

mskohut.bsky.social•9 days ago

INCREDIBLE!!!!

The complainants are uninformed and ill-placed to make a valid determination on a genre that they don't understand.

Now put some Crabs in the Bucket and
Let's Dance.

The whole divided flag concept. Deep.

wonderfulmw.bsky.social•8 days ago

Not convinced Fox didn't add post FX to muddy the vocals down.

Obviously with intent to hit on it in the news cycle and perpetuate their race war.

El nuevo album de Drake se llamará: no soy como ustedes

natfactor.bsky.social•9 days ago

So good!

turixalchemy.bsky.social•9 days ago

All while strutting in bell bottoms, and he was moving! The cadence and articulation, impeccable! Also this taught me about his Pulitzer for Damn. Fire mr duckworth, fire!

mdp300.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm wondering if that performance will.bring back boot cut jeans

turixalchemy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Probably. Hopefully it brings back an elevated vocab too! 😉

rainbowtimtam.bsky.social•8 days ago

They were already back.

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•9 days ago

LOL absolutely

It's brilliant and beautifully Black.

dearjoyitsme.bsky.social•9 days ago

People really don’t understand

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•9 days ago

It ain't for them

catlady1949.bsky.social•9 days ago

I really enjoyed him. The whole show was fantastic, especially that grin when he said “Drake” lol

brattykat.bsky.social•8 days ago

That was phenomenal
I’ve been listening to him all year but that was an Iconic performance

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah it was real dope. Did a great job

brattykat.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yasss

kodoandsangha.bsky.social•9 days ago

That shit was flawless.

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•9 days ago

Truly was. Breath control was outrageous

sexiplex.bsky.social•9 days ago

He wasn’t lying when he said “6 miles a day, conditioning my wind”

kodoandsangha.bsky.social•9 days ago

When asked about the Super Bowl and what he’d be performing, he answered “storytelling.”

sexiplex.bsky.social•9 days ago

He told several. Per usual.

kodoandsangha.bsky.social•9 days ago

I completely understood the entire show’s message from go. It was beautiful and that pause and smile at the camera. He knew exactly what he was doing out there. Just so much symbolism in that show. Puts him right up near Prince.

crushoverride.bsky.social•8 days ago

I know people's media literacy is in hell, because the argument I hear the most is "He ShOuLd HaVe PlAyEd MoRe HiTs!" He was telling a story through specific verses on specific songs.

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's exactly right. One of the most art centric Super Bowl performance I've seen

sidfisnishious.bsky.social•8 days ago

My first thought was that as soon as he got the Gig, he and his crew worked their ass off to create a masterpiece. Then, executed it to perfection. I get the same feels after watching 10+ times.

ashrev.bsky.social•9 days ago

Traveling more yards than the Chiefs. 😮‍💨

andersonded.bsky.social•8 days ago

Lost his focus on Job #1, as did a few others. How much $ do they need? Maybe should have waited to do all endorsement bs until after the win…like Hurts and Barkley.

ferris444amos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hell he’s been doing commercials for years now. The Eagles SHOWED UP HARD🥳
The came to play hard & smart & that’s what they did. That D was on fire! 🔥 Credit to those Birds for a bad ass game.

andersonded.bsky.social•8 days ago

Steeler fan here but Thank you Birds. Room for almost everyone at my table.

ferris444amos.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m a Packer girl myself! 🫶

ashrev.bsky.social•8 days ago

The laugh I just laughed was much more of a snort 🤣

ferris444amos.bsky.social•8 days ago

Right!! That shit cracked me up🤣

ferris444amos.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ba ha ha ha🤣🤣🤣🤣

duffy017.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm dumb, white, and I'm Canadian, and even I can tell that performance had the power of a freight train with the precision of a scalpel. Generational stuff, man.

cornyrye.bsky.social•9 days ago

The self editing was unbelievable. He never slipped, so no FCC complaints. If you heard a curse word, it was in your own head! 😂 Brilliant.

fireplace14.bsky.social•9 days ago

It was glorious

thoughtprovocateur.bsky.social•8 days ago

If I took the time to listen to it ten times, I expect I could understand it and appreciate it. But I couldn’t understand it in one viewing.

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's just like his albums. You'll never get everything in the first listen. I think that's what is great about him as an artist he makes you want to return.

shelbyville2.bsky.social•8 days ago

Art isn’t always meant to be consumed and comprehended quickly and is made for the folks who do plan to take the time to consider it 🫶🏼

mam-mamtoeight.bsky.social•9 days ago

Im grateful for the civic and History lessons people understood. My grandchildren asked about the “40 acres and a Mule” reference. I asked them to get my old school Brittanica encyclopedia I have and asked them to read it to me out loud. Now they fully understand his lyrics. 🥹🥰

bigdavechgo.bsky.social•9 days ago

That's amazing
