ICYMI — Kendrick’s Half-Time W 🏆 and all its historical and political relevance 🇺🇸
Kendrick Lamar’s half-time performance is getting mixed reviews. Let’s be clear: we think it was stacked layers of brilliance that created a timely, intentional message. That’s why we curated the best breakdowns, details, and historical references on TikTok so that everyone can peel the onion. If you didn’t think it was pure, thoughtful performance art in practice, let us (and these amazing TikTokers) convince you:
🎤 ”40 Acres & a Mule this is bigger than the music”
🎤 Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam
🎤 ”The revolution will be televised.”
🎤 Back-up Dancer with a cause 🇵🇸🇸🇩
🎤 16 Stars
🎤 Presidential Reaction or Meltdown??
Check out our notes where we repost what we think is relevant to you.
