You can't break the mold. The format is what it is. It's a condensed concert of snippets of hits. You play the game or you don't get the gig. It is what it is.

His song "Not Like Us" has 1 billion! spotify plays, the video has 230M views, Drake sued him over it (diss track) and he still played like 1 minute of it haha. The same thing happens to me when they put on some shitty country artist who they play in CVS every day and I'm like what was that poo, but Kendrick is a true artist. I get that it doesn't translate to the general public though, and the art is too obscure for the average watcher to comprehend

Love Kendrick but that's what I'm saying, it's just a bad format for him.

I doubt he feels that way. He doesn't even use social media so I dunno how any of this would affect him negatively. He won't lose any fans that he already has in the underground. Seems like the perfect anti-establishment performance for me

It makes a lot of people uncomfortable and amplifies real hip hop music to younger generations. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Not saying any of that. I'm just saying it's not a great format for him to display his talent. That's it, that's all.

I like Kendrick Lamar a lot but that wasn't great. Just not the right format for him. He's a real rapper and the SB halftime show is for popstars doing 30 seconds snippets of pop songs.

They should have let Lil Wayne have it.   It would have worked better.  Wayne has some almost pop-ish songs.   Huge catalog and colabs with others to pull from.  Could have given a nod to all the New Orleans rappers that brought him up and totally catered to us 40 year olds!   Hot Boyz, Juvenile, Big Trymers, Cash Money.

So yeah, priority has to be to get Bryce more weapons, of course, right?  

It’s all about defense. Always has been, always will be. I hope Tep is paying attention  tonight. 

 

I definitely think there is a propensity to overvalue offense and neglect defense, but Philadelphia is a really complete team. They have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL (detroit maybe the only other team with a case), #1 RB, top WR duo, top 10 TE and a pro bowl QB. Their defense is mostly made up of fantastic draft picks and bargain free agents. 

But to your general point, you can't be myopic. You have to build an entire team. I hope the Panthers front office didn't need to wait till the super bowl to figure that out. Having the worst defense in nfl history this past year should be enough motivation to start investing more in the defense.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
