it’s a bit of a cry in the vacuum to say that over there, isn’t it? the whole land is filled with haters.

Just want to say that halftime show was 🔥🔥🔥. I don’t listen to bad bunny normally, but I am now.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I dont either, and only heard some of his stuff before. I also am never a huge fan of most of the half time shows, but this one seemed to work well and was unique. I especially liked the end where he celebrates all countries, the dig without being a dig.

Fuck yes, same.

I heard him for the first time yesterday, just to know what I was in for. Dude is incredibly popular on YouTube! First video had a billion views!
And the spectacle of it all! Outside of last year, this was one of the most entertaining halftime shows I can remember.

I listened to him after the Grammys. Found I loved many of his songs.
Prince’s halftime show will always be the greatest ever. But this was close.
Lemming6969@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
That was some of the worst sound I’ve ever heard in a musical number, basically anywhere.

You are objectively correct, all the downvoters just feel like anything other than praise is an attack on their identity.

Most sports arenas have shit acoustics, so it makes sense that the sound quality is bad

What was that “story” where Chapter 1: Defeating evil with the power of love. Chapter 2: Defeating evil with the power of incredible violence?
I’m already at chapter 2.

I remember a movie where there was a guru like that, who convinced everybody on his (the citizens of the protagonist country/village) to not fight, because “love is the most powerful weapon”. The protagonists were like “fuck that, you’re getting everybody killed”
So when the bad guys army arrived, they were meet with flowers and people just being happy and saying no need to flee or fight. The soldiers were too weird out to attack, so they just stood there, some joined the celebrations.
The lead bad guy got angry and tried to stab the protagonist, but was killed before by a dagger thrown by the pacifist guru. Everybody just looked at then and said “love is the most powerful weapon… But it’s not always the fastest”
I have no idea what this movie was, I remember it loked like shit, but that’s scene has been living rent free on my mind forever

I tried googling his “Ocasio 64” jersey, and all I came up with was articles about the time AOC streamed a Donkey Kong 64 marathon.

a Donkey Kong 64 marathon.
go on…

Well, you see…
DK, Donkey Kong. He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him well. He’s finally back to kick some tail. His coconut gun can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it’s gonna hurt! He’s bigger, faster, and stronger, too. He’s the first member of the DK crew.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 hours ago
Ocasio is Bad Bunny’s last name. 64 might be the year of his dad’s birth, but that’s a guess.

I heard it was in reference to the Puerto Rican governments initial death toll caused by Hurricane Maria (en.wikipedia.org/…/Hurricane_Maria_death_toll_con…), which was…a very low number.

We all need to go watch Bad Bunny on Tiny Desk to really appreciate the expert musicianship.

Central maybe, but things are pretty rough in South America except for a handful of the bigger players like Brasil and Columbia.

Is it trying to get people from the Caribbean to play any version of football? Because I think they prefer bat and ball sports[1], and to be honest, I’m surprised Bad Bunny actually cares. I guess he’s in it for the prestige and fame? Did he already do something for the world series?
[1] : For some reason, Hispanic Caribbean countries like Baseball, while Anglophone Caribbean countries love cricket. I don’t know or understand why they prefer bat and ball sports this consistently. Like you’d think it would be a mixture, and some football or they’d all like baseball or cricket, but it’s divided among linguistic lines.
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
What? It had nothing to do with sports. Like yeah, its a Superbowl thing but the halftime show has long past been more of a cultural thing than a sports thing. People that perform at it likely don’t give a shit about the sport either way, and neither do many of the people that watch specifically (or only) the Super bowl.
The message was clear and it was aimed at every single person watching American or not, sports fan or not.
pet1t@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Imagine having the final of your favourite sport turn into an entertainment/cultural show …
Other than that, perfect platform to spread this message so yea
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
It is a badly executed joke about which sport is popular for which cultural group and the abundance of Caribbean flags in the photo

Have you listened to DTmF? Bad bunny is excellent, no opposition required at all.

The guy seems alright though even if his music is not my jam.
