\u201cNot Like Us\u201d and its defamatory content, the question on everybody\u2019s lips is: will Kendrick Lamar perform the song? The stadium-status anthem is his biggest hit to date, one that just scored him five Grammys and one that over 100 million people will be tuning in to see. But the NFL are nothing if not conservative and Kendrick did censor himself the last time he performed at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, there is no better representative for Hip Hop than Kendrick Lamar Duckworth. He is the apex of skill, possesses a fervently creative mind and at heart, is a showman. He is going to be on a stage that has historically overlooked Hip Hop in favor of (sometimes aging) pop and rock acts, something it is hard to see him not referencing given how much the genre means to him.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the topic of special guests. We already know SZA will be there ahead of their Grand National Tour later this year, but who else? Tyler, The Creator has said he is otherwise engaged. ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock and Ab-Soul could join him for another Black Hippy reunion. A Lil Wayne cameo would be the ultimate jab at Drake, although the New Orleans native will also be out of town (perhaps deliberately).<\/p>\n<p>Hell, Taylor Swift is guaranteed to be in attendance to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles. And as last weekend\u2019s Grammys proved, the \u201cBad Blood\u201d collaborators have nothing but love for each other.<\/p>\n<p>With the big game just days away, <em>HipHopDX<\/em> takes a look at Hip Hop\u2019s biggest moments at the Super Bowl thus far.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:#000000;margin-top:5px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1998_Queen_Latifah_Becomes_the_First_Rapper_to_Perform_at_the_Super_Bowl\"><\/span><b>1998: Queen Latifah Becomes the First Rapper to Perform at the Super Bowl<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Queen Latifah Performing at 1998 Super Bowl\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AcPrib1qHQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nothing sums up the NFL\u2019s complicated relationship with Hip Hop than the fact that no rapper appeared in the Super Bowl halftime show until 1998.
