Final Songs Performed - 4) m.A.A.d city
I could, without a doubt, see Lamar saving this gem for the end of his performance. It's one of the top songs he's released to date and could be a nice way to end his performance.

1) ELEMENT
Element is the song I could see Kendrick Lamar starting things off with for many reasons. The "Kung Fu Kenny" intro would be an awesome introduction to kick things off with the fans, and it's arguably one of his top songs to date.

3) Swimming Pools
Swimming Pools is the exact type of song I can see Kendrick playing in the opening half of his halftime performance. Getting the fans involved with a known song to slowly get to his bigger hits.

3) Alright
Bouncing off Swimming Pools, another classic in 'Alright' could be next in line for Kendrick to perform.

4) King Kunta
King Kunta is one of Kendrick's songs that makes you bob your head to the beat. It's a great song, but it doesn't feel like the one to open his halftime performance.

5) Money Trees
Money Trees has to be played, but I don't think it would be Kendrick's option to open his performance or close it. Hence to why I slot it in at No. 5.

6) Like That
This is exactly where I can envision Kendrick switching tempo to a song such as 'Like That.' Can you imagine the pop from fans if Future were to make a special appearance too?

7) Euphoria
Right after that, 'Euphoria' would be a solid choice to continue the change of tempo. It's a classic song that could help the transition towards the back half of Lamar's performance. It starts off with a slow tempo, but Kendrick turns up the heat after the opening verses.

8) B****, Don't Kill My Vibe
Kendrick Lamar has multiple classic songs, and this one is definitely one of them. In the middle of his performance, this song would be perfectly positioned at No. 8 in my opinion.

9) All the Stars
This would be a perfect spot in the performance to bring in Kendrick's special guest performer SZA. Their song All the Stars would be a nice switch up in this spot.

10) United in Grief
United in Grief may not be a song that all fans know, but it's one of the more underrated Kendrick songs. Coming in at No. 10, it definitely deserves to be played in his performance.

How Many Songs Will Kendrick Lamar Play?
The biggest question everyone may be wondering is how many songs Kendrick Lamar will perform. Considering all the hits Kendrick has put out throughout his music career, I'd take the over on the 10.5 set total.

Over 10.5 Songs Odds: -105 | Under 10.5 Songs Odds: -125
Final Songs Performed - 1) Not Like Us
I bet you thought I'd forgotten about this one. There is absolutely no way that Kendrick Lamar doesn't perform this song, especially after he essentially swept the Grammy's with this song. In my opinion, Lamar should close out his performance with 'Not Like Us,' driving up the anticipation of fans.

Final Songs Performed - 2) HUMBLE
Another well-known song for Lamar is 'HUMBLE.' This is arguably one of his top songs considering the play it got when he first released it. This would be another top hit to be played in the back half of his performance.

Final Songs Performed - 3) Squabble Up
Squabble Up is another underrated song on Lamar's newest album. This track has quickly become a go-to song for many people and it would send waves throughout the crowd as he prepares to end his performance.
