DAMN: Kendrick Lamar performs exhilarating halftime show

Published

Grammy winning rapper Kendrick Lamar performs at Centennial Park for the college football championship's first ever halftime show.

DAMN: The name of Kendrick Lamar’s latest chart-topping album, and the only word Atlanta could utter after the rapper’s exhilarating halftime performance at the college national football game.

“I don’t do it for the ‘gram, I do it for Compton,” boasted rapper Kendrick Lamar as he performed in front of a crowd hundreds deep at Centennial Park Monday night.

But that night, the rapper did it for more than just Compton; he did it for Atlanta, for the people, and most importantly, for the culture.

The show itself was free, so the much anticipated concert turned the park into an unrecognizable sea of college kids and teenagers. It was a bitter winter night, but even the threat of sleet and snow wasn’t enough to deter the die-hard fans.

The audience went word for word and song for song with the iconic musician, vibrating with energy as he took them through a catalog of his latest hits. Lamar wasted no time, going straight into “DNA” which was smoothly followed by “Element”, two crowd favorites from his 2017 album, DAMN.

Then came the moment everyone was waiting for: the performance of his summertime banger, “Humble”. Lamar went acapella for the first verse, but the song needed no introduction. When he paused the music to let the crowd sing, the entire city seemed to reverberate with the thumping order to “be humble.”

As a night of firsts, it was only fitting that Kendrick also performed his new single, “All of the Stars”, off of the Black Panther soundtrack. As the crowd swayed side to side with their hands in the air, it was clear the SZA featured song is bound to be his next hit. Lamar then followed his performance with the premiere of a new Black Panther preview, for which he served as the producer.

It was surely a night to remember, full of exciting firsts and crushing losses. Kendrick delivered on his promise to deliver the inaugural college national championship, and made history doing so.

So while the city mourns UGA’s loss, we should remember the wise words of a good kid in a mad city: we gon’ be alright.
