Does not degrade women?

How? You mean like Lil’ John, whose lyrics include “ ‘til all these females crawl! “ ?? Or the constant references to “bishes a money!” in rap?

BTW - Lil John’s Get Low was played at the DNC, but what evs. lol

Kendrick Lamar doesn’t do that, other rappers do

Why is it so hard to understand that none of this is appealing? People just want to be entertained and by happy for that one night.

My 70 old parents don't watch much football and don't know anything about modern music but they thoroughly enjoyed Lady Gaga's halftime show a few years back. Ever since then, their reactions are pretty much wtf am I watching. And no, they are not white.

Did they find the commercials with bad words appealing? I was not happy to hear cursing during the ads. I didn’t expect it so I couldn’t mute it in time so my kids heard the words

The rap? Unless you know the words how would you have been able to follow? I didn’t hear any bad words for that performance. I had already sent my kids to bed anyway but I didn’t hear any bad words in the rapper’s performance …but I did hear cursing on the commercials while my kids were watching…I wish people were more upset about that then a rapper reciting words that they
couldn’t understand. The outrage is interesting and backwards in my opinion.

Love the way Kendrick’s music usually includes the “N” word. Great message for my kids; just great.

Really irrelevant he scrubbed the Superbowl show of the “N” word last night because every tween and teen in America is looking up his N-word songs on YouTube this morning.

Again - great message, NFL.

Are your kids also looking up the words grab them by….spoken by our very own President? Are you at all concerned about the wonderful role model that he is? Please. You are trying so hard to justify why you are mad about the show. Simply say you didn’t like it and move on. Bringing the whole “save the kids” argument regarding the ht show that was performed last night is just silly and a reach.

So you are fine with the “N” word then, right?
Great! Glad we clarified that.

So you also agree your whole DEI-farce was just that: a farce; just more racism masquerading as virtue.

Everything he did was slow beats or just rapping, which was not hitting it. No crowd hype except for "MINOR." Serena Williams came out but again, most people were over him by the time she made a hippity hop appearance. DJ Mustard just pranced around.

I felt very bad for Taylor Swift and so happy she took it like a champ while looking good doing it too.

She looked shocked at first then tried to smile to hide her horror. Still, people shouldn't boo whether it's DT or TS.

I agree, but rap wouldn't be considered intellectual by any means. Maybe someone like Pavarotti, not country or rap.

One of many problems. However, the show was just bad which is receiving a lot of blow back.

Go Birds!

I wish he would have made the men in blue wear white durags to represent the stars

The symbolism was more than the flag…

The symbolism was:


DIVERSITY ONLY WORKS ONE WAY.

America was not built only on the backs of black people.

Well that didn’t happen - lotta boos and crude finger gestures towards his box window doe - despite Fix News continuing its propaganda about how well liked DT is

No those were saved for Taylor. DT is well liked, why he also won the popular vote. Nice try.

Again, he did not win the popular vote. If he had it would be over 50% of the votes. He got 49.8%. The other three candidates together got the remaining 50.2% of votes.

And that, of course, is of the people who voted. Most people did not vote for Trump.

I agree. Clearly lots of rehearsing time. I respect that.

I don't like rap at all. But this show was fine and entertaining.

I do find it weird no white people at all. And I am absolutely anti-MAGA.

I never said that. I am trying to figure out how you jump from this Super Bowl
performance that doesn’t use any bad language (including the n word) to tweens and teens looking up the songs and now being influenced. Are these same kids influenced by all of the alcohol commercials that aired last night? I am just trying to get you to see a different perspective. Also be responsible for what your kids ingest. My kids don’t have unfettered access to screens, YouTube and the like. My children could’ve enjoyed the performance but I had already sent them to bed. SLJ said the “d word” but that was the most flagrant word I heard in the whole performance and it didn’t come from Lamar.

I don’t remember any white people during Snoop Dogg’s halftime show either, but I wasn’t looking.

That was fake crowd noise.

Nope. I've seen at least a dozen different in-person videos of the performance and the crowd 100% sang that part.

I disagree that there can’t be thoughtful or thought provoking music in all genres. I don’t even like country but I know it would be doing it disservice to reduce it to “beer and trucks” music.

Does not degrade women?

How? You mean like Lil’ John, whose lyrics include “ ‘til all these females crawl! “ ?? Or the constant references to “bishes a money!” in rap?

That poster wants to convince you she is not out of it- by identifying a different rapper. lol!

Kendrick Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize winning artist, and no one can take that away from him.

Well they probably weren’t as good and we don’t need to make DEI hires now.
