Every song Kendrick Lamar performed at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show

Apologies to Drake, but it was Kendrick Lamar who took the stage for a Super Bowl halftime show performance for the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on Sunday.

At the Caesars Superdome, Lamar, who made history as the first solo hip-hop artist to headline a halftime show, performed such hits as "Not Like Us" and "Luther," featuring special guest SZA. And yes, that was Samuel L. Jackson emceeing and Serena Williams making a cameo.

The performance came after the artist swept the 2025 Grammys in his native Los Angeles earlier this month, taking home five gramophones, including for Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his massive 2024 diss track "Not Like Us." In his speech, Lamar shouted out West Coast rappers G Malone, Problem, and Maestro, among others, declaring, "This is what it's about, man. Because at the end of the day, nothing is more powerful than rap music. We are the culture. It's gonna always stay here and live forever."

Lamar, who gives very few interviews, recently sat down with Apple Music for a rare chat ahead of the performance, speaking about the progression of hip-hop and being the first solo hip-hop artist to take the coveted stage.

"Lot of people don't see the story before the glory, man," said the rapper. "That shit is like shuffling out your mixtapes and going to neighborhoods and parties and performing there in hole-in-the-wall spots."

"It reminds me of the essence and the core response of rap and hip-hop, and how far it can go," he continued. "So, for me, that shit means everything. Because it puts the culture on the forefront, where it needs to be, and not minimized to just a catchy song or verse. This is a true art form. So to represent it on this type of stage is, like, everything that I've worked for and everything that I believe in as far as the culture. I live and die by it. This shit done changed my whole family life. I don't take it for granted."
