Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.
“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.
This makes me think. I was able to hear all the words articulated by Kendrick in this performance.
So my thinking is about whether I heard all the words because I know the songs and that I’ve spent decades listening to rap. If this is the case then I wonder how hip-hop sounds to regular folk if you don’t vibe with it. It’s already hard enough as you age having to research all the references if you want to know what people are talking about.
Just a thought.
