This. Seems like everyone who didn’t like it is being labeled “old” or “racist”. I just think it didn’t fit the bill. It’s nothing against Lamar, or hip hop. I think he was part of the show a few years ago with Snoop, Dre, Eminem, etc and that was one of the best I can recall. It had hip hop but it was up beat, fun, and the songs had wide appeal. Lamar is a star to rap fans, but niche by comparison to that lineup.
i saw a hilarious tweet a few days ago. some black dude posts, "White people complaining about the haltfime show cant understand the words, then go listen to pearl jam."
my teenaged daughter, was picking her up from work yesterday with my buddy. he asks her about kendrick lamar and she says "i love him." two minutes later she asks me if im buying her George Strait and Stapleton tickets. i tell her, You dont know one song George Strait sings and she immediately rattles off like 6 songs..
The Stones' fans are geriatric with good taste. I also like Arthur Prysock, Dire Straights, The Band and Ray Charles.I get what you are saying, but honestly, you put that many people together and there are going to be problems. I don't go to Steeler games often, but the last time I went to a night game it was a total shit show outside and not that much better inside. One of the few exceptions was the Rolling Stones concert a few years back. Of course that was still while Covid was strong. But also, everyone was too stoned to cause problems.
You’re shocked to learn Apple Music and Spotify exists ?
Talk about two absolutely brain cooked dudes .
Given the amount of post show entertainment that it gives us arguing about it, I'd say absolutely!
my older bro went to the steelers super bowl in detroit, said the same thing about the haltime show. i think it was the stones or something, forget. anyways he told me he loved it because he could take a piss and get a beer at the concession stand with no line and not miss any of the game..
super bowl aside, i love how short nfl halftimes are, go get a beer, grab a snack and boom, 3rd quarter. college is brutal, bands and all the nonsense.. but i watch football for the football, not the commercials or the hip hop artist of the day concert,
Artists have been doing that since the early 90s. I can't remember earlier than that, maybe it goes back even further.
So commercials and more studio talking heads ?
Yes because it’s related to the game. I can attend a concert on my own time.
You aren’t turning the game off - so it doesn’t matter
It's like contracts in the NFL. Making the most money at your position usually doesn't mean you're necessarily the best, you were just the most recent one to sign your contract.
If im interested in the game on the channel - sure .
