Kendrick Lamar is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, embracing the combative energy of the event. He highlights his longstanding passion for rap battles and competitive spirit, aiming to provide an authentic performance. Reflecting on his humble beginnings in Compton, Lamar recalls not envisioning such a major milestone in his career, but stresses the importance of being present and focusing on self-betterment rather than external pressures of fame. His approach remains rooted in the same passion he had a decade ago, underscoring his growth as an artist.
My intent was to always keep ... the nature of it as a sport. I love when artists grit their teeth.
I gotta look at myself in the mirror rather than looking at the crowd or, you know, fame and attention.
We was thinking about the best verse and how we gonna split the $5 at Church's Chicken...but the passion I have now is still the passion I had then.
It was all about being present.
