Then maybe make an attempt to understand before declaring it the biggest POS performance at a Super Bowl. Your lack of intellectual curiosity says a lot here. As for your last statement, you keep missing the point, but "OMG a bunch of old white dudes didn’t understand" It was not for me. Or the majority of America. I look forward to next year's performer being Trump signing executive orders at mid field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 18 year old son and a few of his friends already had tickets purchased to see Kendrick Lamar in st Louis this coming June. My friend's 20- something daughter was over watching the game with us and she thought it was great. My wife knew most of the songs because she is a high school counselor. We are just getting focking old. This. You're on point with your posts here. The angry middle-aged white men here can't understand that this is what's popular right now, and that the performance was full of symbolism, and I love how Trump was there for it. It will go down as one of the greatest SB halftime performances ever, and as much as MAGAs are feeling their oats right now, they better enjoy it while they can. As long as we can hold on to democracy until midterms, I think we're good. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The black sport radio host I listen to said he does not listen to much of Lamar and did not know what the show was about until he read about after the game. So even if you like the music the symbolism missed the point at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess we can't go back and reinterpret Bob Dylan lyrics, Maya Angelou poetry or Van Gogh paintings because folks at the time didn't understand or appreciate their meaning. Great art often is not fully understood in the moment but undergoes years, decades and even centuries of analysis, interpretation and paradigm shift. I wouldn't call that Super Bowl performance great art, but it did rise to the level of taking some time to interpret and understand, and more often than not it takes discussion for those who didn't get it the first time to experience intellectual growth and a better understanding. Critics brutally criticized pretty much every Led Zeppelin album, but time has proven them embarrassingly wrong. Great art misunderstood in the beginning is the best art. Van Gogh's work didn't rise to masterpiece level until well after his death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van Gogh's work didn't rise to masterpiece level until well after his death. I get it, but so called "Great Art" and a football game halftime entertainment are not exactly a good mix. The masses who watch are drinking, having parties, eating food and talking about the first half and basically distracted. They are not concentrating and looking for symbolism. In a theatre where you are there for one reason, to see the artist. yes, it would be totally different. I would bet more than half the TV audience had no idea who Lamar is. As I stated before I am in the age group that listens to this music, that like Lamar..but I was just listening to the music while other were talking and grabbing food or whatever, I glanced at the TV to watch some dancing but really was not looking for anything. Everyone is different but I concentrate on every play during the Superbowl and we talk about it. At halftime I just want to hear some songs I like and have a drink. Really don`t want to try to try and dissect the hidden meanings of what the artist was trying to do. When Lady GaGa, Prince, Bruno Mars or whoever played, they bang out 15 minutes of their music for entertainment. That is what it is called. Halftime entertainment.

listen2me 23 1,799 Posted February 11 Hardly saw much of it. Never really care about halftime shows regardless of who is up there. Whats the one song about? Calling drake a pedo? Didnt drake sue the record label that put out the song? Rap beefs for halftime shows is quite weird to me. Im not that old, but old enough to remember what rap beefs meant. This is this generations idea of a rap beef? Lol? Call a guy a pedo then guy sues? Weak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
