With Jay-Z reportedly choosing to perform at the Super Bowl, there have been all sorts of hot takes. Many believe that this is a bad choice, and that the performance won't live up to the stage. Meanwhile, others are just happy that Hov is going to perform on the highest level in the midst of a comeback year.
Ultimately, the podcast circuit has been filled with debates as of late. 7 PM in Brooklyn is no exception, as co-hosts Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide had a dialogue about Hov's resume. While Kaz believes Jay-Z has an amazing catalog, he just isn't sure it is the catalog for the Super Bowl.
Melo seems to disagree, as he notes that Jay-Z can bring out a plethora of big artists. Kaz also argued that Hov can't tell a story and unite people like Bad Bunny did. However, Melo once again disagreed, noting how Jay can also bring out artists from various walks of life.

Co-host Monica McNutt also chimed in on the situation, taking a more neutral position. Ultimately, it's impossible to say for sure what kind of performance Hov is going to put together. It will only be made clear once he is on that stage, and we get to watch it in the moment.
This debate between Kaz and Melo is the one that will continue to be had for weeks and months to come. The NFL has yet to confirm the recent reports, although one has to wonder if any of the parties involved are reconsidering.
The backlash has been loud, although this was also the case for Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny. We live in a polarized society, and this is further proof of that.
