Kendrick Lamar is about to step onto the biggest stage in music—the Super Bowl Halftime Show—and it could be a career-defining moment.

In his recent Apple Music interview, Kendrick made it clear; “Hip-hop is not just music. It’s an art form. It’s high art.”

With “Not Like Us” dominating the culture, the weight of hip-hop’s fight for recognition, and the legacy of past Super Bowl performances that became cultural statements, this isn’t just a show—it’s a moment.
