We believe Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance was a powerful display of artistry and cultural significance. His ability to blend intricate lyricism with compelling visuals created an unforgettable experience. The staging was dynamic, showcasing not only his hits but also the deeper messages within his music.


Lamar's delivery was both commanding and engaging, captivating the audience and bringing a sense of unity and celebration to the event. His choice of songs highlighted themes of resilience, social justice, and empowerment, resonating with viewers beyond the stadium.


The performance also featured impressive choreography and a strong ensemble cast, enhancing the overall impact. Kendrick's presence on such a monumental stage reinforced his status as one of the foremost voices in contemporary music. Overall, it was a memorable moment that left a lasting impression and sparked conversations about the role of artists in addressing societal issues.


After watching the performance, it reminded me of The Wiz. And he made me wonder: Would there be another "Wiz" after Dorothy left? What would Oz look like in 2025? So, I came up with a new cast in this new episode to discuss how a reimagining or continuation of The Wiz could look.
