The Super Bowl halftime show can feel demeaning for performers who, although globally recognized, must adhere to the rigid criteria set by a conservative organization. Despite the limitations, artists like Kendrick Lamar take on the challenge due to the unmatched exposure the platform offers. Lamar, celebrated for his artistic achievements, carefully balances his performance with feelings of self-doubt and restraint. While he captivates audiences, there's a lingering sense that the elaborateness of the event overshadows the artistry, leaving a feeling of diminishment following the spectacle.
The musician selected must be an internationally recognized star, and yet that star also has to submit to stipulations and standards set by a conservative sports organization.
What makes him unique is his relationship to it: the laurels he has won, awards and commendations that include some twenty Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize.
