I don't hate Kendrick Lamar. I'm not the biggest fan of his music, but he's got a couple good tunes. I actually loved the back and forth diss tracks he did with Drake last year.
Well, Kendrick performed the Hafltime Show at Super Bowl LIX last night, and on it's face, it was actually tame and borderline boring. Kendrick walked around stage in bell bottoms surrounded by backup dancers dressed in red, white, and blue. Samuel L. Jackson also joined him on stage dressed as Uncle Sam.
When you look farther into it, however, it was actually a leftist thumb in the eye to the country.
Let's not forget, Kendrick has always been an extremely leftist guy, even having a song about his transgender family member on his last album.
Once you look deeper into it, you can see it's a giant DEI performance. Uncle Sam is black, talking about the performance being the "great American game."
Kendrick even said "the revolution bout to be televised, but you got the wrong guy," only for Samuel L. Jackson to say the performance was too "loud, too reckless, [and] too ghetto."
We all know what he's referring to. Leftists love the idea of a cultural and political revolution. And referring to the performance as "ghetto" was another way of suggesting that's how white people view black culture in America.
Just like all of these leftist artists, it comes across as their dumb fan fiction version of reality.
Kendrick went on to perform "They Not Like Us," which is a diss track aimed at Drake. The song is catchy, but do we really need a diss track like that to be played during the biggest live annual sporting event in the country?
Remember when we used to have performances like The Rolling Stones? What was wrong with that?
Let's hope next year's Super Bowl performer gets the memo. America is done with wokeness.
