\n\tKendrick used frequent Spike Lee collaborator Samuel L. Jackson as the show\u2019s \u201cGreek chorus,\u201d just as Spike used him as Dolmedes in his 2015 musical satire Chi-Raq<\/em>. Lamar also took a moment to bring up the Reconstruction Era proposal to give newly freed slaves land and a mule to help fold them into society by offering them a chance to make some money. \u201c40 acres and a mule, this is bigger than the music,\u201d the rapper told the audience during his set. \u201cThey tried to rig the game, but you can\u2019t fake influence.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSpike noticed and took to Instagram<\/a> to speak on the parallels between his work over the years and pgLang\u2019s impressive production.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want to thank my brother Kendrick for the 40 acres and a mule shoutout which has been the name of my production company since NYU grad film school,\u201d the legendary filmmaker wrote. \u201cAnd I want to send a special shoutout to my Morehouse brother Samuel Jackson who started this Super Bowl Halftime extravaganza as Uncle Sam and you might\u2019ve seen him as Dolmedes in Chi-Raq<\/em><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added: \u201cThe term 40 acres and a mule was a proposal for reparations to former enslaved African-Americans in the aftermath of the civil war. The proposal was intended to provide land and resources to provide land and resources to help free people achieve economic independence. This promise was ultimately broken. Happy Black His-Herstory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKendrick\u2019s right-hand man Dave Free<\/a> told the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em> that their mission was to try to convey \u201cBlack America\u201d to the audience watching, something Spike Lee has made a career of. \u201cThe feel of it is Black America. What does Black America look like, and how to control that narrative of what it means to be Black in America versus what the world\u2019s perspective of that is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe day after the Super Bowl, on Monday (Feb. 10), Jackson posted a photo<\/a> of himself and Kendrick before the game on his X account. \u201cSuper huge honor to be asked to be part of @kendricklamar halftime revolution,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
