Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show REVIEWED!

Immediately after the game on Sunday, Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli of Popcast, The New York Times’s music show, gathered for an emergency episode to review Kendrick's halftime performance. The music critic and music reporter discussed Kendrick's tactical deployment of "Not Like Us"; cameos by SZA, Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams; the rest of the setlist, including an unreleased track and no "Alright"; the surprise leak of the show a few days early; the protester who unveiled a flag for Gaza and Sudan; and whether this is finally the end of the biggest beef in hip-hop history.
