the new york times and Kendrick Lamar
“James Howard Kunstler: I’m so glad that the new york times explained what Kendrick Lamar was up to in his superbowl half-time act because all I could make out was a grown man dressed-up like an eight-year-old hollering nursery rhymes in front of a flash-mob. Apparently, KL is engaged in a feud with another rapper named Drake, whom KL styles as a child molester. So, you see, the whole thing was just a bit of wholesome family entertainment. Thank the new york times, for putting a grad-school spin on it:
[nyt excerpt - gag alert!] This was Lamar’s other winning stroke here: weaving the metanarratives [?!] of the night’s performance into the performance itself. Should he perform a song filled with accusations that has become the subject of a defamation suit? Can a black performer ethically perform at the halftime show of the super bowl, the crown jewel of the n.f.l., an institution that has taken on additional political valence after the black lives matter movement and Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling protests?

Jay-Z has a long term contract with the NFL to provide the half time shows. It wasn't an accident.
