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.
