Did you watch the show? Were you already a Kendrick Lamar fan? What did you think of the performance? What specific aspects — whether the music, the staging, the dancing, the costumes, the symbolism or anything else — were most or least successful, in your opinion? Why?
Lamar made his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” the centerpiece of his set. What do you think of the ongoing beef between Lamar and Drake? Was the Super Bowl the appropriate stage to try to settle a vendetta?
