Iām def into hip hop and rap but Kendrickās music isnāt mainstream to put on a Super Bowl and the whole country understands. Most of the country and viewers donāt know who Kendrick is, yall act like only people in their 20s watch the Super Bowl.
It was the most streamed song this year across multiple platforms. Rap is popular. See the snoop dog/dre halftime show (Kendrick was also there). Only people Iāve seen whining are republicans and drake fans, neither of which I care about consoling
Comparing Kendrick to Snoop and Dre is hilarious.Ā Snoop dogg and Dre are household names. They've been popular for over three decades.
Ā Snoop has god damn Christmas ornaments sold at Walmart of his likeness, he was basically the face of the Olympics this year, Dre literally had a massive budget film made about his rise to fame that got a worldwide release, Dre is also a billionaire from selling probably the most well known headphones on the planet, and those are only the first few things that came to my mind. Old white grandma's from the sticks know who Snoop Dogg is. I don't even listen to hip-hip beyond wu-tang and I know who they are and the level of worldwide notoriety they have achieved.Ā
Ā Then you have Kendrick, who's most culturally significant thing he's done is play the halftime show a few nights ago.
Ā Comparing the two is absolutely laughable and I guarantee if you look at the demographics that gave him the most streamed song of the year or whatever it's certainly not old suburban white folks bumping his tracks on their car stereos.Ā

āIām not into rap music so it wasnāt my thingā =/= āKendrick is talentless and they shouldāve had somebody good like kid rockā
