The Unapologetic Blackness of Kendrick Lamar's LIX Super Bowl Halftime Show

Abstract: This work examines what we term the "Unapologetic Blackness" of Pulitzer- Prize winning and 22-time Grammy-Award winning Hip-Hop Artist Kendrick Lamar's LIX Super Bowl Halftime Show on Saturday, February 9, 2025. Specifically, we will discuss the lyrics, visual imagery, choreography, as well as the specific ways that this performance actively resists White Supremacy.
