00:00When I first heard that it was going to be, you know, Super Bowl 59 going down in New
00:07Orleans, low hanging fruit.
00:09I'm thinking Lil Wayne.
00:12I'm thinking, you know, cash money, millionaires, maybe hot boys get back together.
00:18Maybe you even get Master P and No Limit Soldiers.
00:21I'm thinking that this is low hanging fruit years out.
00:24So when I heard that it was Kendrick, I feel like Kendrick is there.
00:30He's a veteran and relevant at the same time.
00:33But that low hanging fruit and my expectations, if you were to ask me to place a bet down
00:39on who would get the halftime performance for Super Bowl 59 in NOLA in New Orleans,
00:45I would definitely have taken, if not everything I own, most of what I own and put it on Lil
00:51Wayne.
00:52Is this just a nod from Roc Nation to just how big Kendrick has been, how relevant, as
00:59you put it, and talked about this year has been, that it just made it undeniable, even
01:03though it's happening in Lil Wayne's backyard, that Kendrick was just that big this year?
01:10You know what, Charles?
01:11I don't know what this is.
01:13You know, conspiracy theories, you hear so many people say, oh, well, you know, Jay Z
01:17doesn't really get along with Wayne and he doesn't get along with Drake.
01:21And this is the slap in the face.
01:24I don't know what this is, but I know that it created a lot of talk.
01:32And then we were asking our listeners in the neighborhood today, we were like, did not
01:35like us get Kendrick Lamar a halftime performance?
01:39He already got a catalog that's ridiculous, but did not like us.
01:44This is one of those songs you can't get away from.
01:46It's there.
01:47You know, Super Bowl games is there everywhere you go.
01:50Not like us in every capacity, wherever you are.
01:55This is a big song.
01:56But does one song, did that get Kendrick Lamar there?
02:00I think he has a great body of work and he's a hell of a performer.
02:05But there's just a situation where I'm like, man, it's coming back to the West Coast anyway.
02:11And Kendrick is still going to be hot as fish grease.
02:13And there's a new album that's coming as well.
02:15And to announce this far out, I was just I was I'll tell you the truth.
02:20I was surprised when I first saw Kendrick kicking it off.
02:23I was like, oh, but I celebrated.
02:26But then once the you know, the instant controversy, I was like, OK, you know what?
02:30I see this.
02:31Yeah.
02:32And it's not just that it's going to be in L.A. in two years.
02:35He performed two years ago as well.
02:38And so it it's I mean, this is the word of twenty twenty four.
02:44It's weird.
02:45Yeah.
02:46And it's one of those things where I sit and I'm like, OK.
02:51Being from Los Angeles, right.
02:53And I heard you guys speak on it, you know, sometimes, you know, but Usher wasn't from
02:57Vegas.
02:58He had a Vegas residency.
02:59So every time from here on out, do you have to be to do organically?
03:05Do they have to get someone from there to perform?
03:09You know, this is just with Wayne.
03:11I just felt like this was this is the the the what they say, the elephant in the room.
03:18This is a gang of elephants in the room.
03:21You don't understand where you don't have to dig Wayne up.
03:25You don't have to say, hey, remember, Lil Wayne, like we need to just get somebody from
03:28New Orleans.
03:29He is that guy.
03:31Cash money is that group.
03:32There's an era and there's so much that come with that.
03:35There are so many people that didn't get their rings because, you know, Michael Jordan
03:39was playing or Kobe Shaq was playing and you had a window of opportunity to get that ring.
03:43You just didn't get it because there were some powerhouses going on.
03:46I feel like with Wayne, this is that opportunity.
03:50This is like extremely low hanging fruit.
03:53This this should have been his and.
03:57And right now, if it's not.
