It is actually disrespectful to have the Super Bowl in New Orleans and NOT choose Lil Wayne. Wayne is the living legend of that city. He has been campaigning for this for years, and to give it to Kendrick—who is an outsider from LA—feels like a slap in the face to Southern hip-hop culture. Jay-Z and Roc Nation played politics here. Kendrick is great, sure, but you don't walk into someone's living room and eat their dinner. This should have been Wayne's moment to shine in his hometown.
