There's a new song with SZA from the Black Panther soundtrack, which he's "executive producing." It's not very good.

I've been thinking that if Kendrick has a weak spot it might be that he doesn't seem to have as strong or obvious personality/persona as his peers, or maybe his persona is just that of an artist working very hard
prompted by the RS profile on Kendrick from last year, in which Kendrick comes across as clever and sympathetic but not a very distinctive character:https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/kendrick-lamar-on-humble-bono-taylor-swift-mandela-w496385maybe not the best interview

Fun but I was caught off guard when it made me feel old. Like going into this, I recalled all the times I've seen each of them on TV, and as soon as each one came on, it sank in fast that I haven't seen them in over 10, maybe even 15 years! We've all clearly gotten older - looking like it and moving like it. (But yeah, I still could've done without 50 Cent in either dad bod or chiseled form.) Combined with other recent experiences I've had, it's strange to see all these things I once associated with "classic rock" happen with hip hop.
Obviously Kendrick was the big exception - as soon as he comes on, it's electric. It's too bad they didn't give him the whole show. On the other hand, it would've been especially great if they had done this exact show 10 years ago.

From Jon Caramanica NY Times article:
This year’s event also took place in South Los Angeles, just 20 minutes west of Compton, where Dr. Dre was a founder of N.W.A, one of the most important hip-hop groups of all time, godfathers of gangster rap and agit-pop legends. Compton was embedded into the stage setup: the buildings included signs for its various landmarks, including Tam’s Burgers, Dale’s Donuts, and the nightclub Eve After Dark, where Dr. Dre used to perform with his first group, World Class Wreckin’ Cru. The dances, from Crip-walking to krumping, were Los Angeles specific. Three vintage Chevrolet Impalas served as visual nods to lowrider culture. Lamar performed his segment atop a massive aerial photograph of the city.…
. And after the show was over, an N.F.L. spokesman said that the league knew all along that Eminem would kneel. Is it still protest if it’s been signed off on and approved?

The best thing about the Super Bowl halftime show was knowing a nation of Trump-loving racists all lost their fucking minds.

Fifty Cent looked aging rockstar bloated. Everyone else seemed like they’re doing ok.
Being a music dork, Anderson Paak on the drums was the highlight for me. Enjoyed the set also, and good fashion choice by Snoop. Overall good performances/show.

Let's check in on Ben Shapiro, shall we?
Capitalism always wins. Watching the NFL monetize the Left's radical racial messaging, feature artists with rap sheets longer than your arm (including multiple accusations of violence against women), and even capitalize on Eminem kneeling is...hilarious.— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 14, 2022
Oh shit, he's anti-capitalist now!

Not that I'm complaining, but I didn't get why Mary J Blige was part of this lineup. Does she have some connection to Dre/LA or was she just the 90s R&B artist they thought would provide a change-of-pace in an all male/rap show? imo it would have been cool to give a younger LA artist like Tinashe this stage instead of throwing in a NY artist into what was otherwise a distinctly LA show.
