Starting point is 00:00:04 Kendrick Lamar has just completed his victory lap and with that being said, the conclusion of the victory lap came via his Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Now, of course, if the Super Bowl halftime show is the conclusion of your victory lap, safe to say or safe to assume that you had immense success leading up to it as not only was not like us one of the. most pivotal rap tracks of all time, maybe the best disc record of all time, but also when it comes to the Grammys, you won five Grammys for one track. Now, of course, Kendrick Lamar has won five Grammys before back in 2018 for his album, Damn, where he won Best Rap album, he won Best Rap Performance for Humble, he won Best Rap Song for Humble, Best Mew, music video for Humble and of course best rap slash song performance for loyalty featuring Rihanna now of course was Rihanna anywhere to be found in the Super Bowl halftime performance
Starting point is 00:01:18 of course not why because I think Kendrick made it a point to give us the worst Super Bowl halftime performance of all time yes ladies and gentlemen we're going to get into this performance entirely but I just want y'all to go to analytic dreams video on Spotify and look at this track list with this right quick this track list right here is the official tracklist of the Super Bowl LIX halftime show of course primarily performed by Kendrick when I tell y'all the reasons for pivotal tracks that shape Kendrick's career not being on the set list I I can't even imagine what the thought process was as far as coming up with this track list to perform at the Super Bowl. There's only one time you get to headline the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:02:12 It's only one time. And usually artists make it count. For Kendrick, he used it as an opportunity to of course promote GNX, which seems like the best move when it comes from a marketing standpoint, right? The only thing is, as far as performances standing the test of time, usually, you want to showcase why your fans even supported you in the first place as far as hardcore Kendrick fans and Kendrick did the opposite with majority of these tracks being from GNX to the point where he had a whole entire unreleased snippet from GNX yes ladies he Kendrick Lamar treated this like he was freestalling in the
Starting point is 00:02:54 back of in hip a hip hop a war show I don't want to say any names because you know of course I don't want to basically talk down on any award shows. But let's just say the way that he performed, you would not have thought he was at the Super Bowl because the set list is beyond atrocious. Actually, I'm just going to leave this up right here. So Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio
Starting point is 00:03:17 so you can see this atrocious set list. Now, of course, there's a few songs that I would have kept on here. But for the most part, we're going to get into the entire performance and why I think this is one of the worst Super Bowl halftime shows of all time. Now, of course, with that out the way, let's just get into some of the objective facts as far as Kendrick Lamar being a 22-time Grammy Award winner,
Starting point is 00:03:40 and along with that, he has now, well, he has now performed at the Caesar Superdome in New Orleans. Of course, during the Eagles just putting the beat down on the chiefs. Like, did the chiefs even show up? All those jokes about the refs helping the chiefs out and things of that nature, I could not tell. That's all I'm saying. whole time i'm not even watching NFL i'm just listening to people on the headlines talk about how
Starting point is 00:04:03 the chiefs have the refs in the pocket and they're out here getting beat by a hundred million points so i'm confused anyways getting back to the set list and the stages stage design kentzich kenthal marr of course came out on his 1987 buick grand national GNX which you know is basically what the album is referring to um and with that he performed so many tracks off of g and x you would have thought gnx was the second coming to get good kid at mad city right So anyways, with the performance, one of the bigger standouts is the surprise that Kendrick had up his sleeve as far as having Samuel Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam adding a theatrical narrative to the entire show. So that's the big surprise that Kendrick had. I digress.
Starting point is 00:04:52 So let's keep going, right? The set list was, of course, he started with, or no, he didn't even start with that. Let me look at the official set list. So he started with whacked out murals. He went into, actually, let me see if I can switch this right quick. He started with whacked out murals, went into GNX, an unreleased snippet. So we don't even know if this track is hot garbage or fire. We don't even know yet.
Starting point is 00:05:14 And he performed it at the Super Bowl. I want you to understand what levels of arrogance has to go into performing an unreleased snippet like people are going to vibe with it or even cheer for it or even simply being able to rap or sing along to the lyrics as part of a show, right? So you play something that's unreleased at the Super Bowl. You only get one chance. I digress. So, GNX unreleased snippet was played at the Super Bowl halftime show performance.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Squabble up, humble, DNA, Euphoria, Man at the Garden, which is my favorite off of GNX. But would I perform at the Super Bowl? Of course not. Peekaboo, Luther with Siza, all the stars with Siza, not like us, and TV off. Now, first things first. Kendrick Lamar is immensely talented. We just got to get that out the way. Because of course the K-bots are going to be in my comment section 24-7 like they already are.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Shout out to the K-box is running up the comments because I ain't going to lie to you. As far as engagement as being a content creator, that's one of the main things that keeps the ball rolling as far as people, whether it's hate or love just engaging with your content. I want you to look at this right here. This is why people say that hate-hater-to-love. it they're all counted as engagement as far as the algorithm so this um which one is it this one yeah this one right here everybody is just going insane as you can see actually let me see if you can see the count right quick what's the count on this one right so we're currently at 39 000 we're about to cross 40 000 obviously my most viral video on instagram you should
Starting point is 00:06:53 definitely follow me on instagram shameless plug analytic underscore dreams but anyways so i put up this clip about how the only way you can win record of the year as a hip hop musician is the district which still i stand by because of course this is america by childish gambino won record of the year the first hip hop track ever to win record of the year overall record of the year because people like to say song of the year and like hip hop or rap song no overall record of the year at the grimmies this is america was the first hip hop track ever to win that award and of course the second track not like us by kendid klinj klamar Both of those, well, not like us by Kendrick Lamar, won record of the year.
Starting point is 00:07:34 So both of those tracks are the only two hip-hop tracks that ever win record of the year. And people thought I was tripping with the whole comparing it to it being, or both songs being a Drake disc. But do I have to pull it up one more time just to let y'all know that the only way to get overall record of the year recognition is the discrate? Before the song started. Look how I'm living off. And it started as a Drake disc, to be honest. It's like, I was like, Now, ladies and gentlemen, after getting the objective facts out of the way, right?
Starting point is 00:08:08 Because people swear you're making up stuff. Childish Gamebino just said, started off as a Drake Disc, the first hip-hop record that ever win record of the year. I wonder if Jay-Z, Kanye, DMX, I mean, 50 Cent, Eminem, I mean, are they not enough? This was the first song to ever win record of the year overall at the Grammys, and it started off as a Drake Disc. Fast forward to 2025.
Starting point is 00:08:30 We had another hip hop track when the overall record of the year. Guess what the subject matter was? Just guess. Of course. Entire Drake disc. Forget the, it started off as a Drake disc. What did Gambino? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Let's go to Gambino himself. What did he say? And it started as a Drake disc. So forget that. Forget starting as a Drake disc. Imagine making a whole entire Drake disc. And now it's the most awarded hip hop track ever at the Grammys. People think you just making stuff up.
Starting point is 00:09:02 But anyways, so that's basically what this clip is talking about. And of course, as you can see, and oh, shout out the little Uchi. He was joking right here. But, you know, of course, I had a comment back with him. But also, make sure to follow a little Uchi, as you can see right here. But with that being said, you see the comment section. You know, people are just going insane. And of course, you know, I'm true to this, not new to this.
Starting point is 00:09:21 So, you know, this doesn't really affect me. I always know that the engagement at the end of the day is the main goal. But I do stand by all sentiments. But the main thing after that is getting engagement. So everybody who joins in as far as hate, as far as love, I always am grateful for anybody who engages with my content. Because at the end day, we're talking about music, right? So somebody said, Drake ain't going to let you hit, bro.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Chill out. That's just hilarious. Like, we're in the world. You bring up objective facts with, like, your whole reason for why it comes about the way that it does and people talking about another man hitting me. Anyways. So we're in 2025, right? That's cancelable.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I ain't going to lie to you. So with that being said, all jokes aside, this is probably going to go viral as well because we're back talking about Kendrick. Now, of course, the only reason we're talking about Kendrick is because he performed at the Super Bowl halftime show. It's a pretty big deal if I do say so myself. I covered when the weekend did it.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I covered when Rihanna did it. Safe to say, Jay-Z is having a terrible time finding hip-hop artists who can actually put on a show. So Rihanna, we're going to exclude her because I don't want any beef with the Navy, but also she was pregnant. We just don't leave that to the side, right? The weekend. I love the weekend and all the music that he's created. I've even gotten killed on that same platform, Instagram for comparing him vocally, like specifically vocally to Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Of course, I know, hey, the Michael Jackson fans are irate that I even made that comparison, but hey, I made it. So with that bit, you already know I'm a huge weekend fan. I believe what he did at the Super Bowl was also pretty lackluster and the main thing I think that is a detriment to these musicians is the lack of, I'm not going to say rhythm but the lack of dance choreography
Starting point is 00:11:09 in the performance Kendrick can walk around and rap till he's blue in the face we want to see some choreography from you specifically all these dancers in the background my brother their name's not on the Super Bowl halftime show performance
Starting point is 00:11:24 your name's on there. We want to see you do something that we're like, hey, that was pretty cool. Like, I don't even know if I could have did that, right? Obviously, rapping is a very respected art form. So none of y'all could do what Kendrick just did when it comes to rap. Right? Right. So when it comes to the overall performance, though, we want to see more as far as from
Starting point is 00:11:45 Kendrick. We want to see him dance a little bit more. I know he's not a pop star, but still, like, give us a little something, right? He danced a little bit, but we want dance choreography that engages the public. just moving your shoulders or doing your crypt walk uh the crib walk or however you pronounce that i'm a law abiding citizen so i don't know too much about that but anyways uh with that being said let's get back into kendrick so well pause the official set list i took it upon myself because i don't want to p i don't want think people i don't want people to think that i'm just making excuses um just to
Starting point is 00:12:18 say that this is the worst super bowl halftime show of all time because my favorite artist is straight to the point where actually it's to the point where I wanted the set list to demolish Drake I want you to actually stand on what you said you falsely accused a grown man
Starting point is 00:12:39 of being a pedophile so why not stand on it on the biggest stage possible so with that being said this is my official track list that I had you can forget this trash official set list this is the set list I had up right for his show And this is what I had proposed for whoever, PG-Lang or whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Because I think the only reason he had all of these songs of GNX and his past two projects is because of his split with TD. If you don't know, Kenji Glamar was signed to TDE back in, well, since 2005. And of course, with that being said, they grew him to a superstar status. Now, Punch from TDE was one of the main people as far as top. dog entertainment and he was one of the head honchos but there was a person also there name dave free now why is that a pivotal name to keep in mind because dave free was the co-president of td and he left the label in 2019 now that is very pivotal to point out because of if you go to
Starting point is 00:13:47 kendrick's discography right so i'm about to do this with y'all if you go if you go to kendrick Lamar Let me see if I can find it. Yeah. And then you pull up his albums. What albums came after 2019? The Black Panther music soundtrack, Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, and of course, GNX. So when you look at this official set list that has majority of the songs from the past two albums,
Starting point is 00:14:21 as far as what we have, bodies, squabble up, you four, man at the garden peekaboo Luther not like us TV off that's eight songs out of your what was it 11 on here that's eight out of 11 from your past two projects why would that be the case ladies and gentlemen Kendrick's fake ties to TDE has to be highlighted this man obviously is looking out for himself as the only tracks he wants to be on the biggest stage possible for him and you only get one chance to headline the Super Bowl right obviously kendrick's been there twice with dr dr dray but that was like a cameo this is a headline performance for the super bowl you only get one and he chose that performance or he chose that opportunity
Starting point is 00:15:08 to primarily promote the projects under his label pg lane now obviously from a marketing standpoint from a logical sense that doesn't that's not too bad right that's not too shabby promote yourself at all costs if you own majority of the percentages as far as as the project that these tracks are on. That doesn't stop me from telling you that this is one of the worst Super Bowl halftown performances I've ever seen. I don't care what type of beef you have with TDE post-2019. Perform good kid mad city.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Performed damn. Perform all of these albums that we've come to love that basically cemented you as one are the greatest rappers of all time. Your beef with TDE set to the side, there's no reason to completely disregard your entire discography because you're beefing with TDE, aka Top Dog Entertainment. You split from TDE back in 2019 and now all of the tracks, majority of the tracks in your Super Bowl halftime performance is under PG-Lang. From a business move specifically to you, obviously it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:16:29 From my overall masses point of view, this is one of the worst shows we've ever seen at the Super Bowl. And I'm standing on it because this is just unforgivable for a rapper to have this amount of arrogance to think that the past two projects are so good that he can have majority of his tracks for a Super Bowl halftime performance. Y'all don't understand this is what you bring out your hits. Forget a versus. This is where you bring out your. your top tier tracks to let people know that you are never to be played with as a musician because you gave the masses these tracks all well throughout all throughout all these uh years right anyways all let me get into why i think this set list is trash right because we're going to get
Starting point is 00:17:18 into why no we're going to get into my set list so basically i put together a little super bowl halftime show set list based off the fact that even though I'm a Drake's fan right I'm I'm a huge Drake fan and Drake's my favorite rapper still is still that way and still it's still y'all uh actually let's pull this up like quick
Starting point is 00:17:38 technically he's still y'all favorite rapper too because if you think about it not even think about it objectively speaking Drake actually hold how do I go to this post can I go to this post? There you go objectively speaking Drake is the first
Starting point is 00:17:55 rapper in 2025 to hit one billion streams on Spotify less than a month i thought y'all didn't like them hold up with my full screen at because all this cap has to be addressed y'all have to stop fake hating if you love somebody just let it be known all this fake hate for somebody you're supporting more than any other rapper and you're calling him a pdf but you're still supporting him do the two correlate like i don't understand. R. Kelly's in prison. Drake is the most string rapper in the world. And y'all are calling this man a pedophile?
Starting point is 00:18:31 All right. Anyways, let me get back to my set list. I just want to point out that hypocrisy because sometimes objective facts don't get through to people. So I just try to show more of them and just hope it at some point it just makes sense to them. So with that being said, Drake is still the most streamed rapper in the world.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Crazy how that works out, right? Whole world is screaming. He's a PDF. But at the same point, objectively speaking I keep saying objectively because there's no subjective factor in his streams UMG hates him the whole industry hates him Lucian grange versus high-fiving with dr dr dr dr dr when kendrick lamar won five awards for one tracks that was calling him a PDF and guess what Drake is still the most stream rapper in the world anyways so my my proposed set list
Starting point is 00:19:16 for kenserk Lamar as far as the super bowl halftime show obviously I think Kendrick should have doubled down on his hatred for Drake because that's why you're here my brother you would not have even been given this opportunity people are still upset at little way and that's little wayne no disrespect to little wayne but as far as on a perform you know how in my career on 2k you have your different sliders and things of that nature lyrically little Wayne is out of this world freestyle ability out of this world song making out of this world when it comes to performing I could probably name five rappers from my hood that performs better than Little Wayne. I ain't a lot to you, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Little Wayne is one of the worst performers in hip-hop history. People was upset that Little Wayne got snub for you. So why are you coming with this type of set list that just reinvigorates the Little Wayne fans out there that said that he should have this Louisiana, mind you? This Louisiana Super Bowl halftime performance instead of you. He really didn't do a good job as far as just silencing the haters. Anyways, this is my, okay, now we're going to officially get into my proposed halftime show set list. I keep teasing it. So, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with audio if you want to see me go through the set list.
Starting point is 00:20:38 So basically, I'm like double down on the hate. That's the only reason you're here. That's the only reason they gave it to you. So double down on it, right? I have not like us three times in my set list. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, three times you perform in this track till you can't even. even fathom A minor, right? Anyways, so not like us is going to be the intro, right? From minute 33 to minute 41, right? I didn't really, the 15 minutes, if it like goes over or under,
Starting point is 00:21:09 I didn't really like take that into account. I was basically just showcasing my set list and just letting y'all do of that, which I like will. I took one song off because I'm bringing out a guess. I feel like that takes up more time. But you do have to keep in mind. These artists only have 15 minutes they're not getting paid they have to put together the whole set things of that nature but that does not take away from the fact that you get to pick your set list right if you perform not like us oh all the tracks are on the table if they're just basically telling you the censor all the tracks are on the table so basically for my kentrick glomar super bowl halftime set list i would have had him perform not like us obviously one minute and 33 to 1 minute and 41 for the intro i would have had him perform
Starting point is 00:21:48 go right from that into his verse for like that because literally not like us showed us that he was like that isn't that a easy connection to make or am i tripping so anyways i would have i would have had him go from that to like that as far as his verse and then of course you got to give the people what they want as far as your popular tracks so now i still to this day don't understand how this track missed his entire set list but Mad City I would have had him perform that and the whole crowd would have went crazy
Starting point is 00:22:21 y'all know how pivotal how cultural Mad City is like I think some people aren't even real Kendrick fans am I more of a Kendrick fan than Kendrick fans food for thought so anyways then of course we're sticking with the popularity
Starting point is 00:22:34 so we're going to go from Mad City to humble because of course that's one of the more pivotal tracks for Kendrick's career and then this is where you get to the overall pop section of the performance as you're going to bring out baby keem i don't know what baby keem did to kendrick i don't know if he walked by kendrick and told him hey bro i ain't gonna lie he got you with push-ups i don't know if he said something
Starting point is 00:22:55 like that i don't know if he walked into his closet to check if he to check to see if he had the actual size seven but baby keem did something to kendrick to the point where now you're not going to perform at all with me at the super bowl y'all know that when mr morrow and the big steppers came out he couldn't stop performing with baby keem baby keem was all was with him running you if you ever seen a baby keem and kentrick lamar performance they over there want uh running in circles on that stage they run in circles chasing each other like they playing a duck duck goose on the stage right but when it comes to the super bowl baby keem is nowhere to be found and that's his blood cousin i kid you not that's that's kensi lamar's blood cousin so he completely kicked baby kem out of his official set list but as far as for mine
Starting point is 00:23:42 you know i mean i try to look out for baby kem because I think he's a phenomenal artist like his album that he put out to this day I still has one of my favorite albums of that particular year as far as the one where he's her baby shark popped up that's funny the melodic blue from baby keem back in October 28 2022 I still think that's one of the best albums of 22 of 2020 from a hip-hop and R&B perspective so why he's missing from this entire set list I have no idea but of course I wanted to include him on family ties. So this is more of the pop section
Starting point is 00:24:16 where you're bringing out people. So I would have brought baby Keem out for Family Ties. Stadium would have went crazy. I think people forget how great of a track Family Ties is. Anyways, and keep in mind, Baby Keem is his blood cousin. Anyways, with that being said, pray for me.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Now, of course, with the weekend, just putting out an album, selling, I think he sold, like 490, something something insane like i looked at that number and had to do a double take i had to take all my glasses i was like hold on now ain't no way that that's a 500 000 the biggest week for any album since taylor swift the torture post department ladies and gentlemen the weekend's one of the biggest artists on planet earth so why not bring him out when it seems y'all have a
Starting point is 00:25:05 a mutual enemy as far as the Canadian Drake. Well, the weekend's Canadian too. Does Kendrick have a Canadian beef? Food for thought. So anyways, obviously I'm joking with that one. Because I think Kendrick and the weekend are cool, but it just makes all the sense in the world to bring him out for all the Star's performance.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Like, is he doing anything right now? Don't he have an album to promote? Why would he not show his face at the Super Bowl halftime show? Anyways, so I would have brought out the weekend for Pray for Me because I still think Pray for Me is one of the greatest songs created of all time. And then following that with what I think is one of the greatest songs created of all time, like both of those Pray for Me and All the Stars, I think it's some of the best music Kendrick has ever made.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And obviously it's with The Weekend of Sizzah, but, you know, I'm still giving me his credit, technically. So I would have from Pray for Me, bringing out the weekend into Siza with all the stars. And technically, I have 10 tracks and the Fisher Settles has 11. I took one off of my set list because of you bringing out these features, giving them a spotlight. So I think that will have to take off an extra track because of the time, right? But if I was to max it out to put 11, I would have put 30 for 30 because if you don't know, 30 for 30 is currently the 20th most played track in the world right now. Obviously, it's off of Cizz's album or Deluxe album, Elena. know, but 30 for 30 also has Kendrick on it.
Starting point is 00:26:34 So why not perform that if you're trying to keep it. If you're, it makes sense even for his official set list. If you're trying to keep it recent, why are you so selfish to only include scissors tracks from your own project? 30 for 30 is a hit. And it's more of a hit than Luther. It's more of a hit than, what was the other? Oh, it's not more of a hit than all the stars.
Starting point is 00:26:55 But it's more of a hit than Luther. And what's the other track? was it Gloria or something? I think it was Gloria. There's two tracks that Kendrick had with sizzle. Let me see. Gloria. Yeah, it's Gloria.
Starting point is 00:27:12 So Gloria and Luther, obviously he chose Luther for his official set list. 30 for 30 is a better song than both of those, in my opinion. And whenever I'm looking at it, it has me thinking, why does Kendrick consistently keep choosing tracks from his previous work? And then when it comes to the whole TDE split back in 2019 for him to build his own late. was PG Lane and makes sense while all the music before 2019 was just completely disregarded in this performance because he wants it what is it he really did like as far as man at the garden he really believes that like I deserve it all which I ain't mad at him if you want of the greatest rappers to ever do it arguably the great greatest rapper of all time I'm not mad at you feeling
Starting point is 00:27:53 like that but on the other hand I get to point out the quality level has dipped a lot because because you chose to only choose your recent tracks. So it's definitely twofold. It's not as black and white as people like to think. So anyways, 30 for 30. That would have been my honorable mention if I was to make my set list 11. But because I'm bringing out Baby Kim in the weekend, I have it as 10 to, you know, make up for the time.
Starting point is 00:28:20 So anyways, all the stars bring out Siza, of course, one of the greatest tracks of all time. And then we get into what the people came for. Y'all would be lying to yourself if you think Kendrick would have won five awards for one track if he didn't call Drake a pedophile. There's no other track Kendrick could have put out in his life that would have gave him record and song of the year. I want to let y'all know this is a match made in heaven. Drake beefing with UMG, The Weekend, Future Metro, Rick Ross, who else was he beefing with? Jay-Z, LeBron, and then Kendrick coming to the mix as the hip-hop savior.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And guess what? Just so happens to end up being the second hip-hop artist ever to win the overall record of the year at the Grammys. Oh, and Song of the Year. I didn't even think about that. Song of the Year at the Grammys, which record, what's the difference? A record is more of the production side of things, so it's more of a producer award. is more of a songwriter award those are the differences record is more producer things of that nature things that go behind in the background song is more of the actual songwriters that's what it's been
Starting point is 00:29:43 detailed to me as far as the difference um what was i going with that oh yeah so now we got to the point where everybody knows what they what you are here for and now you give them what they want not like us has to ring off i'm not saying the entire track of course but it's has to ring off for a good portion of my set list. I ain't gonna lie. You got 15 minutes. You perform in that whole Not Like Us song. How long is Not Like Us? It's four minutes and 34 seconds. We're gonna extend that to five minutes because of the edits, the cuts. We're gonna cut out, come back in, cut out again, come back in. So that's at least five minutes wiped off the set list. So you got 10 minutes to perform them other tracks. Five minutes is dedicated strictly to that Canadian that you called a certified lover boy, certified. So anyways, Not Like Us, he's going to perform it. And then I like the way he went
Starting point is 00:30:37 I like the way he went from Not Like Us to TV Off. That's probably the only one that I would keep as far as the recent tracks because TV Off makes so much sense as far as it being the outro. He's watched this performance. If y'all don't think Drake has watched this performance, you're fooling. Like, you're just lying to yourself. Drake has watched this maybe 20 million times. It reminds me of the NWA movie. when Ice Cube put out no Vaseline and his label mates was listening to the radio or something like that. That's how Drake was watching the TV when Kendrick was performing, not like us on the Super Bowl halftime show.
Starting point is 00:31:12 He was looking at that TV as he was telling him to turn the TV off. That's why I would keep that as far as my official checklist. But then right when he does that, turn the TV off and then the game over, that's what I'm saying. I'm a Drake fan, but I wanted him to demolish Drake. like stand on what you was saying towards that man that's all i'm like i would have came back and performed not like us for a third time yes ladies and gentlemen i am crip walking on drake's grave yes kendrick lamar falsely accused that man to being a pdf i am doubling back again and i'm ending
Starting point is 00:31:50 the show would not like us and specifically the minute and 43 second to two minutes and 28th the when he ends with how many do I really got in stock one two three four five plus and now I went into it right there and then walked up it would have been like an encore like we would have been it would have been insane it'd have been insane like do they need to hire me like am I tripping this is a bad set list hold up let me put this full screen now so looking at my set list compared to their set list which which one of y'all thinks better like with that being said let me see if there's anything I miss essentially um Kendrick is seemingly done with his victory lap.
Starting point is 00:32:27 We don't know what's next for him. I mean, obviously we do. He's going on tour with Cizza. With that being said, he's still doing well on the charts. He has GNX is still the fourth most play album in the world. Good Kid Madsity is the 28th most play album in the world. Imagine people pushing up Good Kid Mads City in listenership just for you to not perform any tracks off of that album. I think, honestly speaking,
Starting point is 00:32:54 I think that was the biggest opportunity, why I'm calling this one of the worst Super Bowl halftime show performances of all time because you simply did not give to people what they wanted good kid mad city came out let me see good kid mad city oh wow that makes me feel old 2012 that's insane uh January 1st out of all dates oh that's a deluxe edition let's go to the actual good kid mad city okay I still says January 1st we're in the world he put this out no way he put this out when a year changed this man is arrogant i ain't gonna lie he may be the goat man he just he do not care he he drops the album whenever he feels like it because january first is a crazy release date but anyways january 1st
Starting point is 00:33:39 2012 uh good kid mad city came out 2025 and february good kid mad city is the 28th most played track in the world currently and you didn't play any tracks off of that album kendrick and whoever p g lang team members are you played yourself I don't care what beef you have with TDE as far as back in 2019. Super Bowl halftime show you get one chance to headline and you chose not to perform any tracks from Good Kid Mad City, which is why I'm calling this one of the worst Super Bowl halftime performances of all time. And then you have Damn, that's the 35th most play album in the world.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Kendrick currently has eight tracks on the charts. Let me see, seven tracks on the charts. He has Luther. That's a fourth, oh, wow, fourth most played track on the charts, been on the, wow, fourth in the world. I ain't know that. Okay, so Luther is the fourth most played track in the world, 10 tracks on the charts. TV off is the 11th most played track on the charts. It's been 10 weeks on the charts.
Starting point is 00:34:50 30 for 30 is the 20th most played track, which is Kendrick's third most popular song in the world currently. Squabble up is the 20th. 23rd most play track in the world Not Like Us is the 29th most play track in the world Piccaboo is the 76 most played track in the world Hey now is the 88th most play track in the world And yeah that's his lowest so is Seventh track on the Billboard Hot 100 is hey now and the lowest he is at is a 88th most play track in the world
Starting point is 00:35:21 But his highest is of course Luther with it being the fourth most play track in the world that is a very successful track. It's definitely going to have a lot of Grammy sent Kendrick and scissors way for that track. So, I know it's basically it. So yeah, so looking at my, hold on,
Starting point is 00:35:39 let's go back to it. Let's see if I can. So going back to my set list, right? If you're looking at my set list right now, I already, you know, broke it down,
Starting point is 00:35:47 you know, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. I basically broke it down. I'll let you know why I believe this set list would have been better for, from an overall performance standpoint. but from the standpoint that you're beefing with TDE going back from going back to 2019 and you basically started PG lane because of course Anthony top dog Tiff the CEO of TD was not just going to let you like leave on your own so of course you had to beef a little bit and then the final TD album came in the way of Mr. Morrill and the Big Steppers in May 2022 so then PG Lang was launched by oh PG Lang was launched in 20th 2020 and his last album off TDE was in 2022.
Starting point is 00:36:31 What does that tell y'all? That tell you all that he was beefing in the midst of creating his own he was beefing with Anthony Top Dog Tiff in the midst of making his own music label. So yeah, but that being said, from that standpoint, his official track list makes sense.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Forget all the music that TDE owns were only promoting the tracks from the albums that I majority own under P.G. Lane. From that standpoint, it makes sense. From a enjoyment standpoint, it makes zero sense to the point where now it's unfortunate because I wanted to come in and basically give Kendrick's flowers. But looking back at the track list, looking back at the performance, I watched this performance like five, six, seven, eight times. It just was a very obvious missed opportunity to perform some of your classics in your discography. And really, it just a,
Starting point is 00:37:26 a disservice to your fans, honestly. And that's why I think it just makes it one of the worst Super Bowl halftime shows of all time. So with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know what are my social medias. What do you think about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show performance? And do you think the Super Bowl halftime show was trash? do you think it was fire? And what song would you have wanted to be performed
Starting point is 00:38:01 during his Super Bowl halftime performance?
