USA Today10-02-2025
Kendrick Lamar was chosen to perform at the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Eagles and his set list was mostly his new music.
While on stage at the Superdome in New Orleans, Lamar delivered an exciting set list that included TK and TK.
Following his massive beef with Drake, we had some bold predictions for what his set list (as well as his guest performers) could potentially look like in New Orleans.
Here is what Lamar ultimately chose to do when it was all said and done:

A Kendrick Lamar Class Will Be Offered At Temple University This Fall

Source: PA Wire – PA Images / Getty This fall, you can get some class credit for your obsession with Kendrick Lamar. Well, only if you are enrolled at Temple University in Philly, where noted professor Timothy Welbeck will teach an inaugural class on the 'Not Like Us' rapper. Welbeck is a professor in Temple's Department of Africology and African American Studies and the Director for the Center for Anti-Racism, who has taught at the school for 14 years. The course will be called Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City , referencing a track from Lamar's 2012 sophomore release Good Kid, M.A.A.D City . The professor told NBC10 in Philadelphia that he's been using Lamar's music in his classes for at least the last decade and that the department was receptive to the idea of a class on the Los Angeles-based rap star. He won't be the first musician the university has offered a class on, as Jay-Z, his wife Beyoncé, and Tupac have all been studied there as well. 'My current department chair was very open to the idea and received it almost immediately,' Welbeck told the outlet. 'In a lot of ways, our department at Temple specifically, and Temple more broadly, has embraced the study of hip-hop in academic spaces.' Lamar, 38, created a viral sensation in 2024 with his Drake diss track 'Not Like Us,' which he performed at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in February. He's the only rap star to win a Pulitzer Prize, which he did in 2018. He's also won 22 Grammys, placing him third behind Jay-Z and Kanye West. Lamar is currently on the international leg of his Grand National Tour with SZA in support of his sixth studio album, GNX. Welbeck says the class will cover Lamar's music through the lens of the changing demographics in Compton, California, and its impact on Lamar's life and career. He hopes his students will come away from the course with a renewed appreciation for the artist and how he fits into the Black cultural zeitgeist. 'Kendrick Lamar is one of the defining voices of his generation, and in many ways, both his art and life is reflective of the Black experience in many telling ways,' Welbeck said. 'Being able to discuss his art in the environment that helps lead him into being the man that he is in a lot of ways can tell you about him as an individual, but can also talk about the journey towards self-actualization, particularly as it is related to the Black experience.'

Drake's New Track 'What Did I Miss?' Addresses Beef & Betrayal, Social Media Reacts

Source: Carmen Mandato / Getty Drake's been hinting at his new album —allegedly titled Iceman — for weeks, but last night, July 4, he ushered in his latest era with a new single. It all began when he cryptically posted to his social media, alerting fans that he'd be dropping something at 9pm. Eventually, a livestream YouTube entitled 'ICEMAN EPISODE ONE' launched, showing a back room of a random warehouse for about an hour with random glimpses of Drake walking around like a blue-collar worker on his lunch break. Then, the beat finally drops and he premieres his new song, 'What Did I Miss?' The scene quickly changes to Drake surrounded by dozens of long guns meticulously laid out near a backyard pool while dancing. Although he may have claimed that he was done rapping about his tiring beef with Kendrick Lamar, he immediately falls back into addressing his newfound enemies. 'Askin' me, 'How did it feel?' Can't say it didn't surprise me,' he harmonizes in the chorus. 'Last time I looked to my right, you n-ggas was standing beside me, How can some people I love hang around p-ssies who try me? ' The revenge talk continues in the first verse where he debates his get back with bars like ' You n-ggas just better not ask for no favors, It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor ' and ' You switched on the guys and supported a hater .' It's unclear who the bars are directed at and could reference several sideshows in the beef like Rick Ross, Future, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky, all of whom he's worked with on chart-topping hits. Drake's gets more pointed in the second verse when he raps, 'I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d-ck riding gang since 'Headlines.'' Not only is this a reference to Kendrick Lamar's 2024 Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert that served as a victory lap for winning the beef, but it could also reference LeBron James, who was seen at the arena singing along to 'Not Like Us.' The paranoia continues in the third verse when he repeatedly asks himself how he missed the backstabbing signs of people who he gave verses to, gave guest spots at his tours, and put money in their pockets. ' Word for word at all of the shows, You always felt like this, man, what did I miss? ' he says as the track ends. In the second part of the livestream, he's seen driving around in a delivery truck with another released song on the aux, tentatively called 'Super Max,' as hometown fans chase him down in real time. While whipping the truck, someone in the street yells, 'Drake's a b-tch,' which he quickly claps back at. 'What Did I Miss?' is currently available on streaming services. See social media's reaction to the new release below. Drake's New Track 'What Did I Miss?' Addresses Beef & Betrayal, Social Media Reacts was originally published on
