Kendrick Lamar legendarily performed “Not Like Us” five times in a row at his Juneteenth Pop Out concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.And he probably could’ve done it at least three times in a row for the whole 13 minutes of his Super Bowl halftime-show set — and everybody would’ve been happy.That’s the kind of hype energy that “Not Like Us” brought to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans midway through the Super Bowl LIX showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.After all, attendees were all Serena Williams — bopping along to her fellow Compton-native as a surprise backup dancer.Although there had been some talk that Lamar might not perform the controversial Drake diss track that even had the “God’s Plan” rapper sue Universal Music Group — the umbrella record company that he and Lamar share — really there was just about as much of a chance of him not doing the battle rap classic as Taylor Swift not showing up to cheer on Travis Kelce.Lamar didn’t shy away from taking aim at Drake, as he even rocked a blinged out “a” chain for the mic-drop lyric “Try to strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.” But he did avoid the single most damning word where he calls him a “pedophile.”On this night, “Not Like Us” had come to symbolize more than the epic Drake beef, with a universal appeal — and a sickeningly infectious beat by DJ Mustard — made for Super Bowl-sized consumption.Of course, Lamar is bigger than one song. And with Samuel L.

Longtime NOLA resident Louellen Berger has become famous for her intricate Halloween displays over the years, having begun decorating the front lawn of her 1950s property for about 20 years ago.So famous have her decorations become that the home has even been given its own name, “Skeleton House NOLA,” as well as its own dedicated Instagram account.But while Berger has amassed plenty of attention with her clever ideas, her latest project has earned the kind of viral superstardom that few can ever dream of—with videos taken outside the property showing hoards of eager Swifties lining up in hopes of catching a glimpse at the “Terror Swift: The scERAS Tour” display.Designed in honor of Swift bringing her iconic Eras Tour to New Orleans on Oct. 25 for three dates, the display has proven to be almost as popular as the concerts themselves.Berger started off her little hobby on the small side with just a few skeletons jauntily arranged.

Nation Beat, their globe-trotting groove has crossed not only countries, but continents.And the band’s Brazil-to-New Orleans flight of beats and brass will stop at NYC’s Joe’s Pub on Saturday for an album release show celebrating their fifth LP, “Archaic Humans.”“We’ve been around for a minute, and in the early years, they were the first kind of established performance space that we did in New York City,” bandleader and drummer/percussionist Scott Kettner told The Post. “And they’ve always supported us through all these years.“So it’s great to be doing the album release party there.

set to hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art this fall after half a century in hiding.The Jacques Guillaume Lucien Amans attributed work from 1837, titled “Bélizaire and the Frey Children,” depicts the three kids of wealthy New Orleans French Quarter banker Frederick Frey alongside 15-year-old Bélizaire — whom the family reportedly purchased as a 6-year-old.“The Frey portrait shows a surprising intimacy between the four children, suggesting that Bélizaire was a valued member of the household, despite his enslaved status,” according to ArtNet.“But at some point around the turn of the century, someone painted over Bélizaire, not only erasing him from the Frey family history but obscuring a rare example from the era of a realistic portrait of an enslaved person.”The altered portrait was kept by the Frey clan for over a century. In 1972, a descendant of the family matriarch, Coralie D’Aunoy Frey, donated the painting to the New Orleans Museum of Art and reportedly explained that Bélizaire was erased.“However, the institution chose not to do anything with that information,” the outlet reported.

Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans in the late summer of 2005.The eight-episode series, premiering Aug. 12 on Apple TV+, is based on Sheri Fink’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name chronicling the hellish five-day timespan at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans as Katrina ravaged the city, breached levees, submerged most of the area underwater and forced the hospital and LifeCare — a private health facility on the 7th floor — to evacuate its patients with deadly results that no one could have foreseen … or, perhaps, even avoided.The series opens on Sept. 11, 2005, 13 days after Katrina first made landfall, when 45 bodies were discovered in the abandoned hospital’s chapel, with no explanation of what happened to them or how they got there.
