The Super Bowl LIX, which will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, is just around the corner and has the eyes of the world on it. At the center are two shows: the sports and the musical. In the famous Halftime Show, the legendary rapper Kendrick Lamar will be performing this time, arriving at an excellent moment after a successful new album and at a ‘peak’ point in his rivalry with artist Drake, which could write a new chapter in the show.
Lamar, winner of 17 Grammy Awards as well as a Pulitzer, is now ready to deliver a performance that could redefine the standards of this already iconic event.
Which songs will Kendrick Lamar sing at the Super Bowl show?
Although specific details are being kept secret, rumors have started to circulate about the list of songs that the musician would have prepared, and one of his most controversial songs, 'Not Like Us', is included in it. This single is part of the track series he released dedicated to Drake in his famous diss track from last year.
According to sources like The Mirror, it seems that not even the lawsuit that Drake had filed against their record label regarding Not Like Us would stop Lamar from singing the summer hit of 2024, where, among many other things, Kendrick suggests that Drake is a pedophile.
On the other hand, Lamar's collaboration with SZA, recently announced, has generated expectations about the live performance of their joint hit "All The Stars", for the soundtrack of the Marvel movie, Black Panther.
Although the official song list has not been revealed, fans and critics have speculated about possible inclusions that capture the essence of their career:
- "Not Like Us": The success where he attacks Drake.
- "HUMBLE.": A success that highlights Lamar's lyrical skill.
- "Alright": Turned into an anthem of hope and resistance.
- "DNA.": An exploration of identity and culture.
- "m.A.A.d city": Reflect on his experiences in Compton.
- "Swimming Pools (Drank)": A critical look at alcohol consumption and social pressure.
- "King Kunta": A song that celebrates black pride and resistance.
- "LOYALTY." (featuring Rihanna): A collaboration that explores loyalty and trust.
- "N95": A contemporary reference that might surprise the audience.
- "Money Trees": A reflection on aspirations and economic realities.
- "Backseat Freestyle": A showcase of his lyrical ability and youthful ambition.
