Kendrick Lamar Speaks On Making History At The Super Bowl
Kendrick Lamar sent the internet into a frenzy following his Super Bowl LIX halftime show at Caesars Superdome, which featured special guests Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams.
Playing the biggest stage in the game at the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl.
“So for me, this [means] everything, because it puts the culture on the forefront where it needs to be, and not minimized to just a catchy song or verse. This is a true art form, so to represent it on this type of stage is, like, everything that I’ve worked for and everything that I believe in. As far as the culture, I live and die by it. This s—t done changed my whole family’s life, so I don’t take it for granted at all.”
