Kendrick Lamar rocked the stage at the Super Bowl tonight as the Philadelphia Eagles lay a beatdown on the Kansas City Chiefs. Overall, there was a lot of anticipation for Kendrick's performance and whether or not it could live up to the hype. After all, Kendrick had the best year of any rapper in quite some time. He won a rap beef against Drake and dropped a number one album with GNX. All of this culminated in tonight's performance, which was sure to be controversial.
With the performance over and done with, many are wondering what songs he performed. Well, we now know for sure what this show included. As it turns out, the performance was very heavy on the GNX. Most fans were expecting some older hits, but you were expecting tracks like "M.A.A.D City," you are going to be disappointed. Instead, we got songs like "Squabble Up," "TV Off," "Not Like Us," "Euphoria," and a whole lot more.
