OT: Super Bowl best ad

The game sucked, the ads sucked and the halftime show sucked. I guess when you pay $8,000,000 for a 30-second spot, you feel obligated to cram as much crap into it as possible.

Halftime show took the cake of sucking. What a weird choice to have a truly meh artist that only 14 year olds know run out there. God music is getting bad.
 
I saw local attorney Brook Goffe had at least 3 ads. I wonder what she had to pay. At least 15 seconds each.

His comment made me laugh out loud. My daughter had friends over and they came downstairs specifically for the halftime show. My wife and I were laughing about all the dudes in Wranglers pounding their lazy boys when the halftime act wasn’t Def Leppard.

Who in their right mind thinks this noise is music? How has a 5’2” guy mumbling in a sea of white hoodies become cool? Has nothing on Pour Some Sugar on Me. I’d have settled for some friggin Pink, anything but that.

Listen to ANY of his other songs, literally. He gets criticism for NOT putting enough radio plays out. He did this song to show his versatility. This just shows you either don’t know Kendrick, or you don’t care enough to, which is fine, but stop acting as if you know enough to speak on it.

He’s already universally considered one of the GOAT rappers. It’s 2025, entertainment sells and there aren’t any world renowned rock bands making big enough waves to catch a Super Bowl halftime show, just deal with it or turn it off.

I am a massive Kendrick fan and was pretty disappointed in his half time show. Not a single song from Section.80, GKMC, or TPAB :(

I would’ve loved a mix in from GKMC. He really just wanted to put the nail in the coffin with Drake I guess

I'm not going to judge Kendrick Lamar's music because music is largely subjective. To each their own. I grew up when rock music dominated in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Liked some rap like NWA, Public Enemy, etc...for a minute. If you grow up today, You are going to listen to what's popular and being shoveled down your throat just like people from previous generations. My only comment about the show would be that his type of music(or the songs he played), didn't seem like it played well as stadium music. Just seemed kind of low energy for a stadium show and an event like the Super Bowl where you only get like 12 minutes and need to shock and awe to make an impression on a very broad audience.

I agree with that, it didn’t seem mixed well. The volume was very low, found it odd.

Prince was 5-3. But he called game, blouses. Our parents probably called him noise.

Honestly, I get that the younger generation has moved in a different direction. I grew up with classic rock, and was into the grunge scene in college and alt rock stations in the 1990s (my go to right now is the new Pearl Jam album, which is awesome, but not sure they’d be what the Super Bowl would be looking for). But after a few decades, rock had no new directions to go. Everyone has been experimenting with guitar riffs in their bedrooms and garages for 50 years. Can’t really come up with a new sound or be rebellious doing exactly what’s been done for two generations. So youth found their own new sounds and new voices. Rock could come back in another wave down the road, but it’ll need to be fresh and rebellious again.

I don’t really know Kendrick Lamar - just that his signature album was called To Pimp A Butterfly, which came out in 2015. So he’s not a flash in the pan. And I recognized one of those halftime songs (Humble) from pregame music at basketball games. But he’s been less omnipresent than Kanye, who I haven’t been able to avoid.

I think there is more to it than that. It’s behavior, cultural shifts, distractions and technology more than it is opportunities to be creative. Music is a platform with endless ways to be creative, but time has to be invested, passion & collaboration needed. And maybe some good old fashioned boredom to give the brain time to think creatively. Kids these days don’t have the time to sit in the garage and jam.

Why would anyone care what Robby Starbuck thinks?
 
It's kinda hard to escape knowing who Kendrick is and what he does. I've known about him for years (and Drake) and as a 68 year old white guy, I'm not invested at all in hip-hop. I think the last song I cared about was Donald Glover's "This Is America". I agree with @UCfor3 that KL's performance simply didn't have the kind of energy you'd expect from a SB show. Also, I'm sure those who are entertained with the dumb bickering between him and Drake were entertained, but to me, that's a waste of the showcase. Greatest hits man, not airing out your grievances. Dude probably could've won some new fans, or at least more interest, playing his catalog instead of simply feeding the rubberneckers who eat up the playground taunting.

If you dare, there's a whole Wikipedia page devoted to this silliness.

He doesn’t need to air out grievances, he won the battle. He performer the song that won track of the year at the grammys, the most played rap song of the year. It’s odd than anyone thinks it’s any deeper than that.
