This Super Bowl the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, and along with it Kendrick Lamar headlining the Super Bowl along with a lot of surprises. Fun commercials & entertaining performances. I noticed they introduced a "pre halftime show" this time around for this Super Bowl with Lady Gaga playing the piano which I thought was excellent!
We then have a tremendous marching band leave a massive mark in the foundation of such an epic introduction to this face off, leading up to what we are here for. The game!
Now, the first half of the game had the eagles dominating but it was still too close to call & it was still fairly entertaining. But it all goes downhill from there after halftime, you would have thought the chiefs would have had some sort of fight in them but the eagles completely dominated them to the point that the chiefs looked like a college team.
Now the game may have been bad but what makes up for it? Kendrick Lamar's halftime Super Bowl show. His performance was a spectacle marvel feasting upon the eyes, using Sam Jackson to play Uncle Sam to be the voice of reason if you will, since the 2 obvious elephant in the room is that America hasn't been so kind to hip hop music "rap isn't music" is a saying of dinosaur talk. Kendrick Lamar expertly used a form of comedic satire to communicate with the audience that hiphop is a movement & his message resonated so much more than anything else in this Super Bowl, his performance alone I would rate a solid 8/10 it makes up for this Super Bowl. Then there's the 2nd obvious elephant in the room, the whole Drake/Kendrick beef that happened, with Kendrick brutally claiming Drake to be a pedophile with the hit song "not like us" causing many viewers on the fence wondering if he could even perform such a song over the content on such an occasion, rest assured without spoiling it, how he handles this situation is BEYOND expert leveled execution, because it's the 1 song we are all sitting on edge wondering if it will happen, how he handles introducing this song was creative & played with the audience. His performance had a conveying base storyline that wasn't afraid to be humorous & real, and my personal favorite part of his performance was when all the music turns off and he takes hip hop back to its roots, just rapping while the members behind him produce beats using their mouths! ITS BEAUTIFUL & homage to the culture of where hiphop came from. I'm focusing a lot on this halftime show but I have to, it's the massive magnifying glass that I think stood out the most for this Super Bowl! Kendrick Lamar did a phenomenal job!
So all in all, it's a great halftime show, solid commercials, a disappointing game, but when it's all wrapped up, it was entertaining, & at least the Eagles took the win, I wanted them to win anyways but I always value a great game.
