Jay Z wasn’t over the performance yet. That’s when Jermaine dupri was supposed to have the job that Jay z got but Jay z had everyone boycotting that year.
Super Bowl haven’t been in Atlanta since Jay Z took over booking the acts and before then, rarely would you see any rappers perform unless they did a small cameo
Kendrick don't owe Wayne nothing. Wayne said himself if he ever performed at the super bowl he would not share that stage with no one. So why does Kendrick have to. He don't even know how long Kendrick been in the game. I hope Kendrick do what he do and it's not listening to none of these clowns.
Why Do People Keep Tryna To Act Like This Is About It Being His Hometown & He's Not Performing,Naw The Real Problem Is Kendrick Lamar,This Doesn't Have Nothing To Do With A Hometown,If Thats The Case,Why Nobody Made A Big Deal Before Now???Lil Wayne Performing At The SB Never Crossed Nobody Mind Until Kendrick Was Announced,Nicki Minaj Did That BS Video & Now Everybody Running With It,Lil Wayne Don't Deserve Nothing They Didn't Invite Him To & Furthermore Jay Z Don't Have A Say So In Who The Committee Approves To Perform Quit With The BS
Black folks be sensitive about shit that doesn't matter. Who gives a shit about Wayne not performing at the Super Bowl??? The NFL doesn't choose who performs at the Super BOWL based on the artist's hometown and where the Super Bowl is being held.
Have you seen Wayne perform lately? What are we talking about? Look at what we care about…. Superbowl never grabbed the famous person from the city and just threw them on stage…with not one hit in years… that seems to just gain sobriety to finally talk normal……Kendrick is on fire now…. Not 2010…. He’s talking about Wayne like he’s Malcolm x and not the king of promoting lean.
It's not on Jay Z. Jay Z must get approval from the NFL to present artists. Trump pardoned Lil Wayne! Dems would never have Lil Wayne on an NFL stage.. Conflict of interest.
Strictly speaking Kendrick a far better performer and artist than Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne doesn't deserve to share the stage with him and this phony controversy needs to stop
Hey! Can anyone kindly reference on if Lil Wayne has at least 3 commercially succesful songs (BESIDES a Milli, Mr. Carter, and maybe hot boyz) that are NFL family friendly, culturally diverse, uplifting, party anthem songs? Im thinking the NFL maybe wants to avoid the drug, sex, p***y reduant lyricism that can be found in alot of Lil Wayne songs. Also, has anyone besides the Las Vegas residency seen much of Lil Wayne lately? I'm not certain if Lil wayne is physically well, despite public view. I know he has jaundice (eyes), is a recovering drug addict (lean) & has stated that he is epiletic (seizures) which ppl with epilespy can't handle a whole lot of changing bright lights. So its like he almost has to always go on stage smoking a blunt to help him. Sporting event and health consciousness wise it may not be an ideal fit. Unless Young Money could come on stage too. Im just curious as to what factors could play a part here in the NFL decision.
All great points! The show is supposed to be “family friendly” and Wayne’s image is simply not that! Also, if he does have epilepsy, fast changing lights could be a problem. He does not appear to be in great health 😢
Umar need to keep his opinion to his self. He isn't the know-all be all like he think he is. He is NOT GOD. He can't make anyone do what they don't want to or have to. Kendrick don't listen. Don't let anyone force you to do nothing. Don't be forced to invite Wayne. Its your time and it is about You getting your shine on. You put in the work and You are the it guy currently. You are the one making the sales and building the audience that any to hear from you not Wayne. Just because Wayne is from new Orleans originally don't mean shit ‼️ He isn't owed anything just because of where he was born or raised ‼️🆗
This is a non-issue. Lil Wayne is not owed a Super Bowl Gig nor an explanation. Nuff Said Kendrick just put out an FBA national anthem & Wayne been a kkkoon.
Every single interview umar you have to have an angle about race. Why would Wayne have to take up or speak up for African Americans. What does that even have to do with the topic . Wayne loves his people but you must remember it was a yt cop who saved his life he has respect for all. And at least he loves and supports his kids unlike you
Because some blacks is running around like we are all being treated equally so he speaks about race to remind us all that we still have a long road to travel to get the proper treatment as other's. CHURCH! UMAR SPEAK ON BROTHER! I don't agree with everything he says all the time but a lot of times the guy has a point💯
This new generation way to young to know about Lil Wayne run in hip hop and how Wayne had the rap game in a choke hold, Kendrick is having a run with They Not Like Us but his catalog ain’t no where near as great as Wayne’s, it’s a lot of 🥜 huggers in the comments but Jay Z gotta hold this L.
Jay Z doesn't have to do ish. He gave the opportunity to Kendrick and not Wayne for a reason. That had nothing to do with where someone is from. Plus if others before Kendrick didn't play in their own home towns why now Wayne have to do so. Y'all need to shut and sit down. Be humble. Y'all gassing Wayne up for nothing. No body who Wayne ish.
I AGREE WITH DR. UMAR ON THIS ONE THAT'S WHAT I'VE SAYING OVER THE PAST WEEKS IS THAT JAY-Z SHOULD'VE AT LEAST LET LIL WAYNE PERFORM AT THAT SUPER BOWL ESPECIALLY SINCE HE'S FROM NEW ORLEANS AND I HOPE KENDRICK LAMAR BRINGS OUT LIL WAYNE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY RIGHT TO DO IT AND HE SHOULD ALSO BRING OUT OTHER BIG ARTISTS THAT'S FROM NEW ORLEANS TOO AS WELL
@@Johnthoo1 so you're saying every rapper should perform at a super bowl since they're from where it's being held? 😂😂😂😂😂 You would be a horrible businessman. So if Dre didn't get the chance and mind you America loves Dre and Snoop, Wayne is nowhere near them Iconic wise would you be still saying this? NOPE!!! Have you been saying that about all the other Superbowls? NOPE stop the monkey see monkey do ish we're not 4 year olds.
This is not about just hip hop. What is he talking about. Would he be saying this if Dr Dre didn't perform in Cali? No so why are u saying anything. See this is where us black folks mess up soon as one of us get our foot in the door. How did Jay deny Wayne as if the NFL personally asked Wayne already and Jay blocked it?😀😀😀 He's the type that sees a black man get hired at Wendy's and now him and all his friends want a hook up. Now nobody can get anything bcuz he wanna be greedy. Jay acts on business not friendship, that's the only way to keep your business. He shouldn't even be talking like that, were all black and getting opportunities, Dre and Snoop are ICONS they deserved their shine and flowers and America loves them, Wayne is not a damn Icon by far. Think business for once in your life Umar
Lil Wayne is my favorite artist ever, but his health effects his live performances. Super Bowl Halftime Show is a big deal and everything has to be the highest of excellence when performing on that platform; Lil Wayne can't do it like that no more Live In Person
This is a business… y’all are embarrassing even talking about this. Who happened to live in a particular city has NOTHING to do with who the business chooses. You would NEVER see such ridiculousness from the rock or country artists. Kendrick hands down will be the best business decision
probably a big reach but I'm proud of it (lol) I wonder if the JayZ/Drake issues is why he didn't put on Wayne, knowing he'd bring Drake out, so Jay made Wayne is the innocent victim as he wanted to make sure Drake didn't get on...
This is a fabricated issue. NONE of us know if Wayne was even an option to be chosen to perform at the SB lol. However, we do know Kendrick was, & it's final.
If Kendrick bring lil Wayne out that'll go against the planner will🤔 and will mess Kendrick up for getting another Superbowl performance shot from doing it his way instead going against the grain 🙄 Kendrick wouldn't pull that move🫣 we wish we wish we wish like a mfr huh 😂
Kendrick is way better than Lil Wayne for this. The Super Bowl is mostly watched by one crowd and he’s gonna come with the Black Power, Diamond Jesus crown, and slaves marching behind him. That’s what that world needs to see more than Lil Wayne tbh
If the NFL doesn’t respect the African American players or community than explain how jay z controls who performs. As for the rap game Kendrick Lamar isn’t already on top maybe as a newer artist but Eminem is on top overall
Has everything to do with him . Umar said he was the best in the rap game right now which is ridiculous maybe in young artists but overall Eminem crushes Lamar and little Wayne crushes lamar
@sheserves365 that’s your opinion you mean not that your opinion lol. It’s all truth you’re just upset cause you can’t handle the truth. But overall the best rapper to ever walk this earth was 2pac
This dude speaking on stuff he knows nothing about again. Dude doesn’t even know Wayne has a song with Kendrick. After he said that ish he loses all credibility on the topic. Just shut up.
@@larrystilltheeman39 🤣🤣🤣 on 40's I've been married twice and divorced both of them. Hopefully you will get married once.🤣. Hands down this is the dumbest insult I have ever been given.
Ok so we just taking Hip Hop Punditry from a guy that blatantly lied about South Africans second language being Mandarin and having chinese influence in politics......I'm sorry but what is this man's expertise besides having a radical opinion no-one agree's with ?
I agree with Dr Umar on quite a few things but this not it. Like with topics like this do he even research it or just shoot from the hip because he talling about the age with wayne and kdot and its only 5 years lol and lil wayne has been doing this over 20+ years and this not the first time the superbowl has been in New Orleans! 2013 would have been the BEST time when Wayne was the hottest. He is not even in the spot light like that at this point so this is just another distracting topic with no merit IMO...
How do we know that wasn’t Kendrick plan to bring Wayne out? People was so quick to get upset and now folks is saying he should bring Wayne out so everyone can say, “see, I predicted he would do that!”…..smh, just be patient and wait until February!!!!!
Man where them ppl money at from that school. Everything he speaks is null and void!! It’s like RKelly speaking down on Pdiddy. Art you have to hold his ft to the fire, if you value his opinion and keep bringing him on as a guest!!
Is this guy in the industry? wtf does he know He has a lot to say about everything he knows nothing about Maybe get that school going so people can take you seriously
➡Shaun Harrison, Art Director of the Grammy’s quotes: "I've 'worked with' Lil Wayne before for Grammy performance and personal feelings that would be the biggest mistake ever putting him as the headliner for the biggest performance of the year The Super Bowl," Harrison wrote. "He showed up to zero rehearsals we didn't even think he would make the performance then last minute he was in the building and ran on stage for the performance and ran off back into oblivion lol. Never even got to meet him after week of rehearsals for a show. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rap performers ever and unapologetically black in his message and it's during black history month, it's going to be a spectacle!" In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, Harrison further argued: "Not to mention Dr. Dre is the only to be from the state the Super Bowl is in... so the argument is moot, that's never been a prerequisite."
Really? Both Art and Dr. Umar should hire someone to represent their brand on an international stage (like Post Malone or Lil Wayne) who looks unwashed, drugged out, thugged out, and speaks incoherently. I’m doing exactly what he said not to do-why argue with clowns, when the circus is well at work?-Kendrick Lamar.
Man look, New Orleans mayor city council members and other officials wanted K Dot and apple cosigned it as well like it or not Lil Wayne is dope fiend who haven't been relavent in over ten years the Gen Z generation doesn't like to him anyway they all Nba Youngboy/Kodak Blacc fans. Lil Wayne doesn't even go to NOLA like anyway he lives in Miami and go to Los Angeles more times than he do NOLA y'all call BET and schedule him to perform at their trash @$$ award show if it matters that much to y'all.
