I’ll spare you into writing up another dissecting blog post, breaking down Kendrick Lamar’s Superbowl halftime performance. I will highlight Time Magazine’s since I think it’s the best comprehensive breakdown review. In its conclusion the writer says the following:

In its framing, narrative approach, and density, Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl was unlike any that have come before it. To some, it mystified; to others, it kicked open the door for what this format could be. Just because something is expected of you, he seemed to be saying, doesn’t mean that’s the path you should take. Maybe Kendrick, in his own words, does deserve it all.

If you haven’t watched it, I suggest you do.
