Artscollection:The only rapper who deserved that is Nas. Nas is ahead of most artists of the last 100 years... And is greatest lyricist of all time. The conscious rap that Kendrick Lamar has been doing has already been done by Nas on his 'nighger' album decades ago. Kendrick is in an era where u have other rappers who sing songs with no substance like kodak black, young thug, etc... He hasn't had a rap song as technical as apostle warning(prodigy) or take it in blood (Nas), as poetic as the cure( Nas) or as lesson filled as stay chiseled ( Nas), etc. |

Can someone tell em what is so good about that song" not like us"? That song is wack... I don't get it and Kendrick sounded like a duck. After the Grammy sweep, I decided to take a listen to the track one more time if I missed something... I didn't. He still sounded like a duck and the song still sounded wack |

Streetmovement:Kendrick is no match to Wayne, watch his SNL performance you'll know (that even with the ''drugs'' you accusing him of) he would have put a better show than the mediocre Lamar offer the Superbowl audience.. |

blowjohn:Nas is among my top 3 and I still place him over kendrick generally and you have to understand that in the same rap nas is a bit different in the sense that it's more like mc type of rap which az,biggy n jayz belongs to but what kendrick is during is totally different, that shit is poetic one of the most difficult genre hence most people don't vibe to it, only tupac was on that level and that's why he is so respected in the game so is kendrick even the rap legends you mentioned pays tribute to that guy for a reason. K.dot was crowned King of the west coast by all the OG's in West Coast years back when most people don't even know him and you think is just coincidence. |

RaySimran:Well opinions are welcomed Some think it was the best and some think it was the worst, and that could easily go for lil Wayne too if he had been the one headlining the show, so I don't see why it's a big deal anyways, yes lil Wayne is a legend but Kendrick is in high demand now. That's the difference. At the end of the day I love both artists and I wasn't accusing lil Wayne of drugs cuz he actually does drugs, there was a year he almost died because of it. Do your research. |

Wotoporiously speaking In the rap game everybody must not rock with everybody that's why it's a rap game, leaving sentiment aside, In this era of rap how many MC's can go toe to toe with Kdot in terms of pure rap functions, peotic justice, bars for bars, deep meanings and word play. I can tell you for free the list wouldn't go pass 5 Kdot is a very intelligent rapper even Eminem concured on one of his interviews He's the Tupac of this generation without the voice. Even the OG's always acknowledge and give him his respect. Drake going against Kendrick was a honey mouse trap from the beginning, he never stood a chance. As for the super bowl show, people are always gonna talk but regardless that doesn't change the fact that he's one of the most phenomenal artist of his generation. I love every artist cuz they come with their own unique style and swag but I'm smart enough to know who tops the list when we get down to business. |

Streetmovement:Talking about his superbowl performance, people over expected just like me also because of his juntenth show which was more iconic than the superbowl and also halftime is less than 15mins show so you don't have much to display. |

Artscollection:From ur comments u can see that there is no other new generation rapper to give him competition. J Cole is busy rapping with weaklings in songs with corny hooks. A rapper like Dave East have given Kendrick a fight but unfortunately dVe east is not a commercial rapper so people don't pay him much attention. Those days there were top tier rappers that created very intense competition. Kendrick is lucky sha. . Someone like big pun or big L would have ate him up. As far as poetic is concerned abeg the guy is not inspiring. Even rakim will eat him up |

Namaster:Lil Wayne is a Trump supporter and has actually said racism doesn't exist to him, of course the racists would agree |
| Re: NFL 'regrets' Super Bowl Halftime Choice After Kendrick Lamar Backlash by Artscollection: 6:38am On Feb 18, 2025 |
blowjohn:You are mixing things up from your comment, most Of the rappers you mentioned are good but they are not poetic in their raps hence the distinction between them and k.dot. poet n rap are the hardest rap you can think of n it's totally different from mc rap because you have to make sense n not just to flow. Below was how pulitzer award described his skill maybe it will help you understand what iam saying A virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life. |

Namaster:ODE,go and look at the stats,it is not the most watched NFL halftime show at all, Kendrick is a joke rapper that thinks he is tough or gangsta because he is from Compton,dude is a pussy as clown that can never ever be compared to lil Wayne, Wayne has given a lot to the his city and state and deserved to be given the chance to perform at that Superbowl halftime show. |

blowjohn:This guy again. It’s like you have a personal beef with Eminem😂😂 But honestly speaking, I prefer the old Eminem flow to the new one. Don’t forget that no one has ever bodied Eminem on a song before 😂😂 |

Artscollection:Wotoporiously speaking The superbowl is a football game show artists comes to perform, doesn't really make it a concert cuz a real music concert the craziness will be real, so people should not expect the superbowl to be like a real music concert like juntenth. There's a difference |

internationalman:Nas is much smarter than Eminem, he uses better vocabulary and it’s actually way more complex, and very relatable. Eminem read the dictionary and mixed the words and be talking nonsense a lot. What's the difference between Eminem and an AI robot that raps? |

OwoukoUrua:Common sense would have suggests to you " I wrote in context to the subject matter*** NFL is white man sport and NBA is a black man sport. Maybe someone like you will fancy a musician singing a birthday song at a burial ceremony or portable been invited to perform at a 80yr woman birthday party. |
