Kendrick Lamar performs powerful Super Bowl halftime show with Sza, Samuel Jackson

Actor Samuel L. Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam introduced Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl halftime show.

It was a powerful, commanding creative choice by the first solo hip-hop artist to ever headline the coveted slot.

Lamar’s performance has been described as a continued victory lap.

Sza was a previously announced guest performer and frequent Lamar collaborator and as many fans expected he performed his Drake diss track  “not like us.”
