In this episode of Unfiltered billboardBillboard staffers Kyle Denis, Trevor Anderson and Damien Scott explore the impact of Kendrick Lamar being selected to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, why other artists think Lil Wayne was overlooked, why Beyoncé should have received a CMA nomination, whether she's being ignored and more.
Damien Scott:
It's exciting to have the number one rapper when he's the number one rapper headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, it's amazing.
Kyle Denis:
This was not an album made to be adopted by the country; if that were the case, it would sound very, very different.
Trevor Anderson
Okay, what's up, guys?
Damien Scott
What's happening?
Trevor Anderson
It's been a busy few weeks for us, especially here at Billboard. If you haven't already, check it out. Make sure to check out our social media and website. Last weekend we had our R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event. A multi-day event where the Power Players themselves honored the biggest names and executives in the R&B and hip-hop world. On Friday we had a concert with BigxThaPlug, BossMan Dlow, and Teezo Touchdown.
Damien Scott
Who killed him! I was, I just gotta say, I thought Teezo would do well, but when he came out with the LL COOL J model, I thought this motherfucker was onto something else.
Trevor Anderson
Teezo is ready to be that kind of rock star, you can tell it's part of his DNA code.
