From Frenchmen Street to St. Charles, the rumblings about what Lamar’s performance would bring ranged from [comparisons to Prince’s halftime show](https://andscape.com/features/how-kendrick-lamar-can-attain-super-bowl-halftime-show-immortality/) in 2007 to speculation that he would do something even more dastardly to Drake than he’s done so far. It seemed like an impossible bar to leapfrog. But over the course of 15 minutes, Kendrick Lamar gave us what we needed. He was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful and celebratory. He was pro-Black and subversive, trolling and joyful, and through all the expectations and fighting and nastiness, he was ultimately victorious. Lamar was aspirational, inviting us along with him.
