âLutherâ (Yes â 98¢ | No â 3¢)
âLutherâ is a as close to an lock as you get to. In recent weeks, the song has turned into an anthem, propelled by both its connection to Kendrickâs legacy and the broader cultural conversation. With the huge platform of the Super Bowl, you can wager this will be one of the highlights of his performance.
âNot Like Usâ (Yes â 98¢ | No â 4¢)
âNot Like Usâ has totally exploded and is pretty much Kendrickâs victory lap for rap. The tone of this track is perfect for a large show, especially in front of a Los Angeles crowd. Since Dr. Dre and the West Coast crew are present, we may even get a surprise guest appearance.
âAll The Starsâ (Yes â 95¢ | No â 8¢)
This Black Panther soundtrack cut is one of Kendrickâs biggest commercial successes and fits well within the big, cinematic feel of the Super Bowl. The fact that itâs so uplifting and anthemic makes it a great choiceâespecially if visuals or choreography bring out a theme of unity. SZA as a guest would be an incredible surprise, but once again, we canât confirm that either.
âHUMBLE.â (Yes â 89¢ | No â 17¢)
One of Kendrickâs most well-known tracks, âHUMBLE.â is a virtual lock. The bass-thumping, high-energy production is stadium-speaker-ready, and the call-and-response hook is tailor-made for a large crowd. Considering that it was also included in his 2018 Grammy performance, heâs clearly proven that he knows how to get this one done live.
âDNA.â (Yes â 79¢ | No â 22¢)
âDNA.â is a crowd-pleaser and is high energy. It might be somewhat challenging to incorporate it into the mood of a halftime show because the song is so intense, but if Kendrick wants to make a strong statement, this is the track to do it with. The track contains that aggressive energy and some very heavy lyrics, which might be better suited for a quick verse instead of a complete performance.
âTV Offâ (Yes â 80¢ | No â 23¢)
This track isnât as pop-friendly as some of his others, but itâs a decent bet in the odds. It might be utilized as a transition or interlude piece rather than being a focal point. If it is played, expect it to be part of a medley rather than being played by itself.
âMoney Treesâ (Yes â 43¢ | No â 62¢)
So, this is a good kid, m.A.A.d city staple, but itâs a bit of a deep cut compared to the other hit singles on the list. Itâs anybodyâs guess if itâll show up, but Kendrick might throw it in if he feels like giving a nod to his humble roots. Still, with so many legendary tracks in the mix, this might be the one that gets left out unless he can somehow work it into a medley.
âKing Kuntaâ (Yes â 41¢ | No â 64¢)
âKing Kuntaâ has been a Kendrick anthem for a while, but its odds indicate itâs on the bubble. The songâs funky rhythm and West Coast bounce would translate well to a stadium crowd, but with all the big hits in the mix, it might be hard to find room. If it were included, itâd probably be in truncated form, perhaps in a medley with another To Pimp a Butterfly song.
âm.A.A.d cityâ (Yes â 35¢ | No â 68¢)
A fan favorite, this songâs heavy content is a Super Bowl performance risk, but its iconic âYAWK YAWK YAWKâ intro is invigorating and could make it a candidate for an early-show hype spot. If so, it might be a teaser rather than a full performance.
âAlrightâ (Yes â 27¢ | No â 75¢)
One of Kendrickâs most culturally significant songs, but the odds indicate underdog status. Though it has a strong message, the politically charged song may be less likely for the NFL to include. That said, if Kendrick is looking to make a statement or end on an inspirational note, this may be a dark horse to be included.
Best Bet: King Kunta â Yes at 41¢!
âKing Kuntaâ is good value at 41¢ since itâs one of Kendrickâs most upbeat and well-known songs, ideal for a stadium crowd. The song is quintessential West Coast hip-hop, and with the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, thereâs a good possibility that Kendrick will rep that regional pride. Though other tracks have shorter odds, the fact that this song is not a âsure thingâ creates good upside if it does get included.
Also, âKing Kuntaâ contains the bounce and funk that will translate well to a live performance, and it is an excellent candidate for the halftime show. The NFL tends to prefer crowd-pleasing, up-tempo songs to more introspective fare, and this one is a perfect fit in that regard. At 41¢, itâs an excellent value and could replace some of the more heavier songs like DNA.
