UK critic @markbeaumont.bsky.social (from Enfield, apparently) understood Kendrick's halftime show 10000x better than @nytimes.com and @joncaramanica did

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake-baiting at the Super Bowl was a smokescreen - review
Hip-hop king’s performance will undoubtedly go down as one of the most important halftime shows in the history of the event, if not the most significant mass-televised rap performance of all time

I think @joncaramanica.bsky.social has been hitting the rock critic pipe a bit too much. "Aftermarket Charle XCX-isms"

I can play that game. He's a pound shop Lester Bangs.
