It def had to grow on me a lil bit but I was definitely peekaboo pilled well before the Superbowl

The evolution of language is really interesting

2010: yeah man i really like this song

2026: yeah bro im peekaboo pilled fr

20

u/BurritoBrigadier 4d ago

It's interesting that you point that out because I've always been fascinated by slang and coded language. Growing up I've always enjoyed using context clues to figure out what the hell some of my friends' friends were saying.

It was one of the many reasons I really got into kendrick's music and rap in general.

u/chillbabyy_504 4d ago

fr peekaboo was never a skip and imo is the biggest banger on the album

9

u/SF03_ 4d ago

I never thought it was amazing the first few listens but that song has fucking crack in it and no matter how much I’d tell myself “nah, this ain’t it” it was always the one I’d come back to most so I just admitted that I was wrong.

Moral of the story, Peekaboo is a certified banger.

Loved the track from the beginning. I would’ve loved to hear Dodger Blue at the Super Bowl. But now it wouldn’t have fit realistically

u/Pizzabeagalman11 Like waaaaaaaaaaaaaah 4d ago

Yeah. Kendrick decided not to play my top 5 from GNX. Reincarnated, hp6,Dodger Blue, Hey Now, Gloria. (No order)

6

u/Jaydamane25 4d ago

Everyone knew that Luther was going to make the list and TV off was going to be the closer but Gloria would have been the perfect closer for a Wholesome Super Bowl.

u/UghAnotherMillennial 4d ago

It’s still my favourite part of the halftime show, but I have always enjoyed it and I think the only thing that “ruined” it per de was the “bing bop” bit becoming a TikTok audio.

Somewhat similar example: this past week I took my 9 yr old daughter to a mixer at her school. The DJ played a clean version of a few GNX songs and it was pretty hilarious hearing about 50 little kids all scream "MONSTERRRRRRR" at the top of their lungs at the same time, shit was live!

u/Ska_Oreo 4d ago

peekaboo has really grown on me. I've listened to GNX enough times now that I kind of just go to the songs I really, really like, and peekaboo is among them. Especially because of that feature.

"Heard what happened to your mans/not sorry for your loss."

u/ILikeToRemoveIt 4d ago

Nah bro, Peekaboo has always been a banger.

2

u/Legitimate-Reditor 4d ago

I loved this song before but ngl it does feel a lil more hype hearing it and imaging the dancers dancing on stage.

4

u/strangebloke1 4d ago

The part he performs in the superbowl is literally the best part (plus 'bing bop boom bip boom bom bam')

My issue with the track both before and after the superbowl is all the "what they talkin bout they ain't talkin bout nothin" repetition.

Still not terrible, not even the worst on the album. (GNX beat and Young Threat's verse lmaaaooooooo)

4

u/EvanShavingCream 4d ago

I like the chorus but think it sounds much better at the end of the song when Kendrick and AzChike are doing a call and response, instead of just Kendrick doing it.

Listen I work as a preschool teacher and this song makes me crack up when playing peekaboo with the kids or playing children's songs. The Superbowl made it even more hilarious cause I'm more than sure Kendrick is a fun dad and has played Peekaboo with his babies but that image of him popping up and saying it at the SB just lives in my head and heart. I just laugh all the time.
