In a move that has set the entertainment world ablaze, Joe Budden has vocally criticized Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance at Super Bowl 59, branding the song selection as the "worst in history."
During a fiery episode of his podcast, Budden didn't hold back, lambasting the setlist which, once confirmed, included hits like "Humble," "All The Stars" alongside SZA, and the controversial Drake diss track "Not Like Us."
Budden went as far as to call those who approved the setlist "stupid idiots" and "cultureless kids," expressing his bewilderment and disappointment over the omission of Lamar's classics such as "Alright" and "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City." He described the entire choice as a "bad joke," suggesting it was orchestrated to make Lamar look bad on one of the biggest stages in the world.
Despite the criticism, Lamar's performance during the game where the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 40-22, was not without its fans. Some lauded the fresh energy brought by including newer tracks and the surprise guest appearance by Serena Williams. However, the shadow of Lamar's feud with Drake seemed to loom large over the performance, with social media buzzing with debates over whether this was a strategic move or a misstep.
The online community remains split, with some arguing that this was a groundbreaking performance that challenged the norms of Super Bowl halftime shows, while others see it as a missed opportunity to celebrate Lamar's extensive catalog in its full glory.
Joe Budden's scathing review has only added fuel to the fire, igniting discussions not just on the performance itself but on the role and impact of song selection in defining the legacy of such high-stake shows. As the dust settles, one thing is clear: this Super Bowl halftime will be remembered as much for its music as for the controversy surrounding it.
