In today’s episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Kyle Denis, Damien Scott, and Angel Diaz react to Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, highlighting the best and controversial moments, discussing Ye’s X rants and more.

What did you think of Kendrick’s performance? What do you think of Ye’s X rants? Let us know in the comments!

Damien Scott:

It’s hard to wrap that as a fan. I can’t imagine doing that in a leather jacket  on the field, under the lights. 

Kyle Denis:

I don’t know if I can sit through two years of the most ridiculous rants ever and cluttered albums for 30 seconds of one great verse that reminds me of ‘College Dropout.’ I can’t do it anymore. 

Welcome back to a new episode of Billboard Unfiltered. We got to introduce our hip hop editor, Angel Diaz. Welcome to the show. How you feeling?

Angel Diaz:

I’m good man, excited to be finally on here. 

Damien Scott:

First time? 

Angel Diaz:

Yeah first time .Well, first time caller. Long time listener.

Kyle Denis:

Well this weekend, we had the Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Kendrick Lamar. The performance featured SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams and Mustard. It was a very ‘GNX’ heavy set list. He started off with an extended teaser of the unreleased track from that album, but then quickly went into “Squabble Up,” which then gave into “HUMBLE” and “DNA,” some older classics. He brought out SZA for “Luther” and “All the Stars.” Closed things off with “Not Like Us,” featuring a very funny sh*t eating grin, of course, and closing with “TV Off.” But we got to talk about the response of this show. It’s officially broken the record for the most watched halftime show of all time, over 133.5 million viewers. What are your thoughts, guys? 

Keep watching for more!
