My reaction was moreso about you crossing off GKMC and saying you don't like his DAMN hits then saying he has nothing to perform
I actually agree with your take about the censorship lessening the performance and that not being an issue for pop acts like Taylor Swift. Thought you were coming off as a delusional hater but I don't disagree with the sentiment
It's only 15 minutes and I imagine he'll bring out Jay Rock and SZA at the very least. He'll probably only do 5 or 6 of his own songs I'm guessing
when i look at people who have done arguably the best performances of the super bowl it's people like Prince who for sure have lots of explicit music but they also had clean easily accessible and widely known/beloved hits to make a spectacle out of. the focus wasn't just on him but on the entire peformance which included the wider band/etc. the equivalent of Kendrick doing a Purple Rain-like moment at the super bowl is just like, what? people can't even sing along to most of his biggest songs because they'd be censored in the chorus which forces him to do medleys. medleys are great for concerts themselves but when they're being done to cover up for censorship that loses a lot of the art. i honestly think this was even an issue even with the dre superbowl show and a lot of the songs performed there like Lose Yourself have far more cultural capital amongst the largely white viewership of the show, it's a valid concern
Wayne is going to come out for A Milli and Kendrick is going to rap part of his verse off of C4
Then Wayne will do a quick medley of 6 Foot 7 Foot and maybe Uproar, then back to Kendrick.
Chill, Wayne fans.
Omg
@SkinnyRickRoss @edumist
and Drake went on to do multiple collabs with Young Thug afterwards
real interesting stuff
I can already hear it now
Drake did nothing but show him love and even called him the GOAT when that’s his title! Wayne is a f***ing—-
Drake would probably tell him to do the show with Kendrick
Drake been awfully quiet about all of this, not a peep.
I wonder if he’s genuinely nervous about the prospect of NLU being performed at the SB.
Drake would probably tell him to do the show with Kendrick
You really think so?
I don’t see it. Why would he want his mentor to stand side by side with the same guy who told Adonis he wishes his grandpa had wore a condom.
He never directly calls Drake a pedophile on the song
Drake isn’t allowing the American justice system to comb through his life to prove his case.
Defamation is hard to prove. He would have to give up a list of every woman he has ever dated and comb through his dating life. He ain’t doing that.
Defamation case gonna be CRAZY if he performs NLU. He's smart enough to know that though
you know it would go both ways right, or are you that braindead?

You can't set the bar of the greatest music performance of all time and say this won't be that so it's disappointing

Yeah Prince had the best SB performance ever
Doubt anyone will top it

Chill, Wayne fans.
Super Bowl is 13 minutes long. Wayne gets off one verse probably and maybe Juvie gets one off
You can't set the bar of the greatest music performance of all time and say this won't be that so it's disappointing
well that's not really what i meant to do i more just meant it in terms of like similarities that can be extrapolated
i'm not saying he needs to be prince i'm saying there are broader elements that support similar performances
you know it would go both ways right, or are you that braindead?
Damn chill brother. I ain't braindead. They are both smart business men who knows it would go both ways they both got s*** to lose
You really think so?
I don’t see it. Why would he want his mentor to stand side by side with the same guy who told Adonis he wishes his grandpa had wore a condom.
I could be wrong. But I feel like he’s always playing the “everything rolls off my back, do what’s best for you fam” roll. Weezy is like the most agendaless man ever, I could imagine a reality where Drake takes it in stride, cause how are you gonna be mad at Lil Wayne?
Defamation case gonna be CRAZY if he performs NLU. He's smart enough to know that though
he almost certainly is just gonna do the chorus, the actual lyrics almost certainly won't be allowed in a primetime slot even with censorship
well that's not really what i meant to do i more just meant it in terms of like similarities that can be extrapolated
i'm not saying he needs to be prince i'm saying there are broader elements that support similar performances
Like I said I don't disagree with your sentiment but I think think that was and is being considered when crafting the performance. More thought will be put into it than you're giving credit
You know I see the fair argument that Kendricks music kinda is hard to have the entire nation chanting with you similar to Rihanna, Prince, MJ, and Beyonce
Tickets dropped already? I wanna resell to some dweebs
I think it's a raffle who can buy super bowl tickets. Idk how exactly they do it but it's definitely not a general public thing
Drake been awfully quiet about all of this, not a peep.

He’s sweating at the potential sight of Dot X Wayne on stage together

We gon be alright
