Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

I had the pleasure of interviewing DJ Premier at Fat Beats NY & we discussed a lot about vinyl and how important record shops like Fat Beats are in the underground hip-hop community. We discussed new albums from Blaq Poet (Blaqprint), Eternia & MoSS (At Last), NYGz & Royce Da 5’9 – all of which he gave amazing reviews! He’s got his hand in a lot of upcoming projects, including other joints with Rage, MC Eight, KRS-One & more. We spoke a little about the situation with 50 Cent over his “Shut Your Bloodclot Mouth” track & he also talks about the tattoo visible in the attached picture and what goals he had when he entered the hip-hop industry.
I asked him about his consistency in the game and how valuable that has been , while we also talked about his 2 Rare Play CDs, as well as his 2 “Beats That Collected Dust” projects. It’s a good interview, considering I didn’t have much time to conduct it lol. Much respect to DJ Premier, my favorite producer of ALL TIME.
