I told y’all! HIP HOP IS A SPORT AND THIS WAS THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

I freaking loved this whole masterpiece❣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥
Hi @scrufacejeanofficial I think you should do a video that talks about the real roots of hip hop before it was commercial and what it was used for. From the artists to censorship with NWA and many more!! To battle rap and everything in between!!! I think it's important to distinguish between the current hip hop fans and the essence of hip hop!!! I think Kendrick wants us to have that important conversation!!!
Football season doesn't mirror *Hip Hop* seasons Scru; you're right yet incorrect in the same sense. *Drake* is dropping the same week as this "gig" *Kendrick Lamar* performed at. Shiii they both had gigs the same day technically 👀 in that sense *Kendrick* won that game obviously. But there's another game this weekend, who'll win? Ik it'll be *SZA* but I want y'all answers
Loved this and your reaction vid! And you’re so on point with the fact that K. Dots music requires us to practice active listening. The exact thing that Hip Hop enthusiasts naturally do…
Then this entire process from the day the songs dropped last summer to his surprise album rollout until this past Sunday has been a full on victory lap.
This battle was a moment that marks a major milestone on the timeline of Hip Hop.
Yo Drake and Party Nxt Door comes out Friday. Guess what else comes out Friday? Captain America “Brave New World” the first black Captain America. Who has the lead single for “BNW” and possibly the soundtrack? KUNG FU MOTHERF**KING KENNY!!!! Who owns the rights to Marvel? SONY!!!! GAMEOVER FOR REAL!!!!! 💯🤣🤣🤣
That AHHHHHHH DA AKA DIDDLER STRIKES AGAIN caught me off guard 😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s just so devious
Its a super dope song you need to chill tho 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
#AKADIDDY
That's the best part
Hilarious start lol
Don't forget Serena was fined at Wimbledon for crip walking in 2012. So that was a double clap back 🤣
Don’t forget her sister was killed by a Crip so was she really dancing on Drake’s grave or her sister’s? 🤡🤡 y’all really hate Drake more than you love yourselves 😬 YIKES
Don’t forget Serena already lost her sibling to gang violence so that was stupid you’re actively endorsing something that got your sibling shot all because she mad Drake ain’t giving her dick 😂
Yo. I thought that no one would mention that. It was a big deal because it drew a line in the sand.
@ bc it was dumb she endorsed the same thing that got her people shot
That's wsp
Usher's Super Bowl performance from last year has 32 million views on UA-cam. Kendrick has 33 million views in ONE DAY! 🤯
Kendrick’s was also the highest watched of all time! So so insane!
Because K dot did something different that's why it stands out
It’s because west is the best
The drake effect dummy smh
wow
Anyone bored or offended by this performance...Just know that your anger and frustration feeds my soul and truly warms my heart ❤❤❤😂
Same! Oh it gives me SO much joy knowing how bent outta shape they are!
I’m so gleeful I’m giddy
😂😂😂😂😂
This
Facts
It was one of the worst performances I've seen in my life. I couldn't sleep last night because I felt this shit-
T-Pain said it the best.
"This was the simplest, most grounded Halftime show ever. He really didn't do sh.. but it was SO IMPACTFUL!"
THAT'S EXACTLY how I felt. I was like... dam...not a whole lot of flash and flare but DAM it still hit!!!
T Pain was hatin😂😂😂
@thomse5430 Not at all. Look it up. He was saying basically this man came out without the gimmicks AND STILL made a major impact.
@@thomse5430and who TF cares what T Pain thinks at a time like this in my best Dave Chappelle voice
@@thomse5430you should watch the video. He really not
@@darriusking2438 I watched T-Pain's reaction and I understand 100%. He was impressed and in awe of the show that Kendrick was able to put together without more guest acts, a live band, a back-up track, pyrotechnics, etc. He kept saying "I'm stealing that!" to nearly everything Dot did as the show progressed 😅
I'm a 50-year-old white person from New York (the NYC burbs) who grew up on 80s and 90s hip hop. I'll admit I strayed away from hip-hop in the 2010s, and while I knew about Kendrick Lamar, I didn't really listen to him (or anyone else, for that matter). I also thought Drake was a cheesy poseur and disliked most of his music. I especially never bought his tough guy act and thought it was all nonsense. Then, last spring happened, and I was as deep into the beef as everyone else was to the point where I watched as many deep dives and reactions as I could consume to be up on everything happening.
Now? I love Kendrick Lamar. I've listened to his older stuff, I love GNX, and I LOVED the halftime show. I thought it was incredible, and it's fun to notice new things on every rewatch. I think he's brilliant.
Cool story. Fight racism and discrimination and help us get our reparations, FOR STARTERS.
What are black people going to do with reparations except give the money right back to wypipo for clothes, jewelry are luxury automobiles? 🤷🏿♂️ @@jesstiss222
@@jesstiss222mane shut up
Welcome back to the culture.
@@jesstiss222 So we can give it all back for clothes, jewelry and Hellcats?
Katt started this exposure, and kdot is amplifying the message! Protect them
Yep he even said "I'ma make Katt Williams n Dem proud" on Watch the party die. Truth tellers 💎🫡✊🏼💯
Kendrick was nice enough to let some football players play a game at his concert.
Knox said this 1st! Nice steal!
I'm glad 20 years from now I'll be able to say I was here to witness this. Legendary.
Facts
20? Give it year . 2025 gonna be spooky for some people
@Ijc0692 dwl for sure
Bro, you guys are delusional completely ignoring the fact that the entire machine has been behind Kendrick. He is now and has always been the media darling because he pushes the mainstream media’s message. He is and has always been a favorite at every Grammys. Do you want more Grammys in one night for one song than Drake’s entire career. He has one awards created for authors never given to any musician. The label was behind him in the beef, the streaming platforms were behind him, the industry was behind him and all ganged up on Drake. Every source of media and news and influencer and influential people within the culture were behind Kendrick. He was given the SuperBowl halftime show and the machine was behind him the entire time but we’re going to sit here and act like he is the disruptor? He is the anti-establishment? That he is against the system and the machine? No one has been pushed harder than Kendrick especially in the past year but he somehow the outsider? I swear Kendrick fans are absolutely delusional when the reality is that their guy is not even a conscious rapper, he sounds like every other talking head on the mainstream media. You can turn on MSNBC right now and close your eyes and anyone on that network could be Kendrick Lamar. He is just a left-wing propaganda pushing pawn 🤦🏾♂️🤡
@ there’s a difference between between been a conscious rapper and a realist 😂
"40 acres and a mule this is bigger than the music."
Best halftime show ever.
Can we address how Scru has the coldest intro 🤣❤️❤️
That's crazy. I'm sitting here like "wow she looks familiar." whole time I follow you on Twitter 😂
@ I’m everywhere 🤣💯
I'm obsessed. I can't stop watching and searching for reactions. It's giving so much happiness which is so needed rn.
Me too I love it
💯💯💯💯
Americans not understanding that this was basically a protest on national tv is funny to me
I actually think a lot of people mad about it DO understand that. That’s why they’re mad. 😆
@TheRonnieaj most of the people mad just don't like rap and/or black musicians. Lots of comments saying they only watched 20 seconds of it
@@Bdavis2475 The majority likely rage-watched the entire show.
@@Bdavis2475don’t let this divide the majority! They not like us, these small groups of hateful people on each side divide the country, hell the world, while they profit off our suffering. It’s not about race, sexuality, culture. No it’s about us vs them. Do not tolerate disrespect, but hate only makes them stronger so spread love and respect.
@ Ahh, well, sucks for them. 7.5 million extra people tuned in for halftime over the game itself, so I think the NFL got it right.
I saw a drake-gobbler talk about the bullet hole hoodie drake wore and said “if this was Kendrick everyone would over analyse the number of bullet holes and talk on the reference to gang related murder in Compton.” And like, Yeah. That’s the type of reason Kendrick would do something like that. Drake is surface level. He’s a pop star. He doesn’t think about double meanings.
Not only that but Drake’s always trying to look hard and it always comes off as corny because he never lived that life. We all know that he’s soft as baby doo doo.
Huhh 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 Prime Example of kenny gobblers
@@gosukelee5 hey drake x
@@gosukelee5this music is not for you…maybe you might like Jack Harlow since your boi is basically outta here😂😂😂
Normal people who had friends shot IRL at their own house and ended up in icu don't wear shit like hoodie with bullet holes. That 🥷🏼 makes no sense
When this beef started, never in my wildest imagination did I see it getting here!😂😂
I'm not really a hip hop guy, but I accidentally fell down a UA-cam rabbit hole about the Drake/Kendrick beef (which is how I ended up here) and this super bowl show was one of the coolest fucking things I've ever seen in my life.
Welcome! ❤
Welcome to the culture.
i hyperfixated on the beef, which is why im here
The numbers are in and it's the most watched Superbowl halftime show ever, surpassing Michael Jackson's 93 performance. Gotta thank the ppl that said it was the worst because you still watched it. 😆
Comparing older performances is stupid, the newer the video, the higher the views.
@@deevasquez1171that’s typically true…but no new video ever surpassed MJ so that theory wouldn’t apply if Kendrick’s performance ends up passing it
Not true @@deevasquez1171
That part tho
😂😂😂
I can't stop watching the performance, reactions, and breakdown videos! This performance will feed us for years!! My heart is so full ❤❤❤
Man im ashamed of some friends/associates that went out of their way to hate on this performance. Got me reevaluating some things and who I wanna surround myself with
Gotta draw the line and the decimals baby!!!!!
Theres no way to rank Kendrick in terms of beef. He set a new bar... what Nas done to Jay, what 2Pac done to BIG, what 50 and Em done to Ja Rule. Kendrick done all that combined, in one summer, then released an album and took shots at weezy and snoop and everyone apologised 😂 Candyman Kenny got everyone crashing out while he's at the superbowl smiling 😂😂😂
This performance, as well as the beef, showed me everyone's true colors. People exposing themselves as racists and others just hating.
The black haters are more like c00ns…since they romance the c00n notions!
I love that kendrick had this stage and really used it. Love it. I love deep thinkers.
“40 acres and a mule it was bigger than the music”🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was also said on another breakdown video that Serena received a lot of backlash for dancing at one of her matches from the white community so her being able to display it again openly during the superbowl was a strike back as well.
She did it after she won Wimbledon back in 2012 (I think??) and they fined her for it.
Our culture has always attracted a negative reaction. Reclaiming, demonstrating and reaffirming that we are not going to conform and accept that false narrative- that was the message k dot sent
Something smaller but still worth pointing out about the performance, he added DNA to the setlist. In DNA, Kendrick played a clip from a Fox News show criticizing his lyrics on police brutality in alright.
Which was then played on Fox.
"When they are upset, we are on the right path" no truer words have been spoken. THATS A BAR,, WHERE MY PILLOW 9:50
DON DEMARCO BANG BANG
(shi like that)
Kendrick broke the record for the most watched halftime show of all time with 133.5 million viewers. BIG AS THE WHAT
Super Bowl
Kendrick Lamar is a genius
I can't believe Kendrick just broke Micheal Jackson's record for being the most watched superbowl half time show in history!!! Nobody has ever come close to MJs viewership before.. Kendrick is on a whole different level
I wonder if ERB or any other vs UA-camrs will do a rap battle between MJ and KL. I already saw one with MK vs Elvis.
As a fan of both. I'm also a fan of astrology and Kendrick a Gemini and MJ a Virgo are both ruled by the Mercury which is the planet of communication, awareness, intellect, higher mind, adaptiveness and so more.... either who.... it's really just a breathe of fresh air to be able to see and artist spark the minds of the masses. I am also a Virgo and my bestie is a Gem
Kendrick has made me proud to be black. At first I didn't think nothing of it, but as I started listening to not only Kendrick but more rap and hip hop (thanks to Scru the GOAT for the exposure), I've really been interested in our culture and wanting to explore it. While doing so I learned a whole bunch of things that have really made me happy in my skin.
Happy Black History Month y'all.
I aint black but hip-hop made me understand the struggle black people have went through and still do, it made me more accepting, open minded and happy to see the oppressed thrive. And it also allowed me to express myself and my own struggles even though Im merely a guest at best in the culture.
As a white guy, i am happy you found pride in your colour🤍🖤. We are all humans, superficial attributes shouldnt matter. The Character matters
@@danielkirmes WORD 🗣‼️
Happy for you
Andre 3000 once said “ y’all don’t listen to me y’all just want to dance”…. (Hey y’all)
What people are missing is that Kendrick didn't come to the superbowl to entertain America. He went there to have a chat with y'all.
I don't really understand why people were expecting mindless, meaningless spectacle from Kendrick f'ing Lamar of all people.
Its only one group of people complaining 🥛people
The best thing about art is its subjectivity. We can all watch the same thing and see something different and that’s ok. You won’t always understand what you’re looking at when viewing a true masterpiece. Even those that “get it” won’t know unless the artist explicitly states what they wanted to express.
This was a long winded way to say we just witnessed a masterpiece. Like it or not you saw it and felt a way. The Artist won.
Best halftime show since Prince. PERIOD
What. A. Night! This was a masterclass of art and storytelling!
Baby, Kendrick BEEN wearing flare bottoms 😂 and drips em err’time! 🔥🔥🔥
"The MAGAs, The racist and the k00ns"
Level of awareness 100
I’ve been saying this ever since people been bringing up the argument, I don’t think Uncle Sam is a jab at MAGA. What I think it’s a jab at is the whole system in general, how America exploits black artists and the lengths they go to the make themselves the “heroes of the black community” this not only applies to republican team but Democrats. I’m always reminded of the song “Hood politics” from Kenny where he equated democrats and republicans to gang colors and how they ain’t different at all, just the damn color, they will still oppress you wether the team is blue or red. The oppression won’t change overnight if red guy gets in, neither blue guy, it’s the system of Uncle Sam that’s a problem for the Black community. I think those within the MAGA movement that are having problems with this halftime show are fundamentally misunderstanding the point of the halftime show, making them look stupid. I voted for the Don for this exact reason, because I believe with certainty that he’s a disrupter, that he will put the government back where it oughta be so it stops encroaching within all spaces of artistry, the systematic abuse of the black man has to be stopped, the only way you can do that is by cutting the weeds.
I absolutely LOVED K-DOT's performance!
Yes, the American flag symbolism was GREAT!
It correlated with me because he showcased to THEM that Blacks are Americans, too! ❤️🖤💚
Hip Hop Is A Sport!
Scru, that dance at the beginning of “Peekabo” has been done for a long time. It’s called Jackin in house dance, but it’s in various hip-hop styles. It’s definitely a getting “hype” move
I frickin loved the story behind this performance!!!! Let's go Scru!!! This kid is smart!!!
I can’t believe with all the research my man was doing for the video he left out the sub context for Serena CWalkin. She was publicly shamed and criticized for Walkin during a match. So given the theme of Kendrick’s performance, this makes tons of sense. One nail, two coffins.
Kendrick Lamar's halftime show is now the highest viewed halftime show in history according to the numbers. It beat out last year's performance by Usher and also his streaming numbers are way up. If you go to the NFL page his UA-cam video for his performance beat out Usher's viewership from last year already. Usher took 11 months to get to 33 million and Kendrick only took one day. The CULTURE is feeling him.
I really needed this today. Keep being yourself.
This halftime show was one for the ages and will be talk about for the next 100 years
blacky vids are so deep and so smart. Kenrick had a great half time show. i loved it and K-dot performance and kendrick himself he so fkn dope. and GOATed.
Yesssss it was awesome
"Tell me why you deserve the greatest of all time"
I keep seeing so many ppl downplaying the halftime show but nobody acc looking into it. Good on u dawg!
Imma 80’s baby, we were rockin those flair jeans mid 90’s in texas…..Scru keep doing yo thing man! Blessings 🇳🇬🇺🇸
I keep saying it, all the people who complained about the performance wanted entertainment not art. Music is an art not just entertainment.
Kendrick is deep man. We literally witnessed him destroy the machine by beheading Drake (musically)
Wesley’s Theory has to be my favorite Kendrick Lamar song, it’s maybe my favorite hip hop song of all time. The Thundercat bass and vocals are KILLER, it sets up the whole album phenomenally, the song is so funky and energetic but it says so much about the exploitation of black Americans via consumerism and he ties it to his own rise to fame. Brilliant, peak music
“AAAHHHH THE AKADIDDLER STRIKES AGAIN!”
Greatest reactor intro. Hits every time.
Im a MAGA guy who grew up in South central and I wasn’t even mad at all. I was hyped AF.
There's levels to everything. Glad you enjoyed and are not on that other type of time.
For Kendrick Lamar to make a political statement on black history month is everything ❤
I've watched it 24 times it's the best half time show of all time.
I’ve watched it 6 times. Every time I see it…I find something else to admire about the performance
Shout out to Kendrick ❤ doing his thing on the halftime superbowl ❤
Kendrick was bigger than the Superbowl 💯
They talking about his flare pants when 🥷 really out here wearing skinny jeans, fluffy fur boots and dresses 🤣😂 let's not mention hair bows and nail polish. They be out here dressing like A minoorrr🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Word up fam
BEEN waiting for this because so many people are confused
Your hard work really shines here. Keep being awesome!
So many people worrying about Kendrick's pants just shows me how folks are little minded lol
The day after the Superbowl, I imagine K-Dot as Thanos… standing in a field on the garden planet… exhaling at the completion of the task.
Missions not done
He not done did you not catch the me lyrics for the snippet?
Head shot for a year you better walk around like daft punk.
Been waiting for this vid!!!
0:12 Hangover
Big FACTS!!
"I study rap battles" Drake 😂😂😂😂😂
“I don’t think it’s the KKK, it’s Kanye” what’s the difference at this point? 😂
Bro, 😂
FACTS
People wanna fireworks kendrick wad like naah you guys going to listen to my art
The break down is like The da Vinci code 😮💨
It’s about time, I was waiting on this all day yesterday! 😅
I’ve never seen the British general public talking about the Super Bowl before this year 😂 I even watched a bit of the ‘sport’ before the show, not that I understood why sometimes people got points
Kdots performance pulled in the most viewers since michael Jackson. Its number 1
Your original Super Bowl reaction was 🔥 and so funny. 😂😅. They not like us!!!
idk if they say this in America too but in Canada sometimes the Police are referred to as "the boys". In man at the garden, kendrick changed the lyrics to "how annoying... brought the boys (feds) in the game I breathe, it's a shame to me".
I love that this performance was for the high social IQ and culturally aware audience.
Kendrick Lamar is basically South Park if it became a person. It has no filter and no bullshit to tell you.
Hip hop is a sport!!
I’ve watched that performance 7 times now just to catch as much of the symbolism and meaning that I could. So far the deepest message occurred during Man At The Garden; folks really need to understand what “Uncle Sam” said after that along with the symbolism😮💨
34:54 not to mention that the flag was split perfectly down the middle. This whole performance will be studied, dissected and talked about for years.
Yup, " Here for the people celebrating Hip Hop"
The only reason i watched was because of the halftime lol i dont know a gd thing about football 😂
One take Scru....I HIGHLY and SERIOUSLY DOUBT Kendrick would do something in reference to Kanye, because of the stance Kanye has taken with Trump; in conjuction with HIS STATEMENT he is making in this performance and on this PLATFORM!!!
Don’t let the hate divide the majority! They not like us, these small groups of hateful people on each side divide the country, hell the world, while they profit off our suffering. It’s not about race, sexuality, culture. No it’s about us vs them. Do not tolerate disrespect, but hate only makes them stronger so spread love and respect. 💛
To summarize the amazing performance:
Kendrick came to deliver a message. Some got the message, and some didn't. Some chose to get the message, some chose not to, others didn't care.
Glaze
People saying the half time show was bad CLEARLY do not get it. It was not about getting the biggest ooo's and ahhh's. I understand that you don't have to like it for what it was and that's 100% acceptable but you can't and shouldn't call it trash just because it didn't speak to you. It was about the message behind it not about playing the greatest hits, if that's the reason you didn't like it than you just don't understand kendrick or hip hop.
The messaging wasn’t deep dog. It’s nothing that we haven’t been told and seen for decades.
The problem is that the Set List was mid. Humble, DNA and NLU were the only certified hits that he played. The audience didn’t even know the other songs because GNX is only 2 months old. It was a mistake on PgLane’s behalf.
Most watched not a mistake at all you just dont know and more than likely not like us !@@Akatsuki250
@@tracyallen1996 Relax. I didn’t hate the show in particular, nor do i think it was “the worst show ever” like some.
I just simply said that he missed a major opportunity to get more people into rap by actually playing his smash hits. You can quote all the Kendrick bars you want at me, but as a 30 year old black man that watch a show for entertainment, i don’t want puzzles and think pieces. Time and place matters.
Its still trash lil bro
The same ppl calling it bad are the same ppl who can't stop talking about it
Alright is a neo spiritual black song.
126 MILLION PEOPLE were tuned in for his performance. More than any other Super Bowl in HISTORY.
#1 watched halftime SHOW!!!
It's amazing how the start of a revolution was just televised, and a lot of people missed it. LONG LIVE LAMAR!
Appreciate this so much! He deserves the world
As big as the what! Love it or hate it we’re all tuned in
Bro but keep it real! Crazy spending is part of the culture. If it turns it might bring change to a new generation.
Love that Kendrick isn't playing the game.
@16:00 Scru spitting facts. I personally think they're bots designed to make ppl angrier and more reactive nothing to do with this guy or that guy. Subject don't matter either, remember clicks = 💰
Factsss❤
K-dot is the new NWA
Facts on the Stephen A comments🙌
"There's 🥷's who are upset right now.... AND I LOVE IT!" 😂😂😂Same Scru, same‼️🤌🏾🔥 #STAYMAD!
I’ve been waiting for this‼️🙌
I turned it on only to watch K DOT
This production need to be nominated for an Emmy
29:10 they literally played alright in the last Black Panther trailer & one of his other songs in the Cap America BNW trailer, like cmon brooo 😭
Much Love from South Africa. This man is on another Level. Shot for the amazing content Scru
