The "Big As The What?" trek began in Tampa this week, and as the song behind this journey mentions, it really felt as big as the Super Bowl.

The Big As The What? tour officially kicked off in Tampa on Friday (February 2), and fans couldn't be more excited for this Super Bowl. Moreover, Drake and J. Cole reportedly performed a whopping 53 songs in total across their solo discographies and collaborative efforts for their opening show. Of course, some of these tracks were shortened, mixed with others, and altered to make it a cohesive and engaging rapid-fire experience. It was a lot of material from the Toronto superstar, which isn't surprising considering that this is an "expansion" of his It's All A Blur trek with 21 S*vage. Still, it's been great to see highlights from this online, especially their first performance on their collab "In The Morning" in over a decade.

Furthermore, this setlist includes classic cuts from their early 2010s eras, as well as some of their more recent releases. Drake's For All The Dogs shows up quite a bit here, and J. Cole performed an acapella version of one of his best 2023 features, Lil Yachty's "The Secret Recipe." In addition, the two also reflected strong chemistry from what we've seen online, which is unsurprising considering their close relationship and bond. One collab track they apparently didn't perform this time, though, is "Evil Ways," one of their most recent lyrical stunners.
