      Most disappointing part IMO
      If it was ACTUALLY a transition INTO Forgot About Dre, it would have been absolutely insane.
      The show was great, one of my favorites in recent memory, but the amount of missed opportunities was just nuts as far as possible collabs go 🤷🏿‍♂
      Then again, things likely would have been a lot different if Em didn't elect to give a good chunk of his allotted performance time up for 50. I guess you have to take super casuals into account here and go as mainstream as possible, but going from teasing Forgot About Dre to not performing it was one thing... Em choosing to give a bunch of his slot up so 50 could do a rough performance of In Da Club instead of them BOTH performing a collab they've done (Patiently Waiting would have been unbelievable IMO) is another altogether. The two added together, and meh. Let down big time. Doesn't mean the show wasn't still great though. Better than most in the last 10-15 years.

    From Ruthless to Deathrow, to Aftermath, there isnt a more important figure in hip hop than Dr. Dre. The man has been in it since the early years with NWA, survived the east coast/west coast feud, brought up the most successful rapper in history (Eminem), and managed to stay relevant to this day without having to constantly drop an album every year. I mean look at that line up. From Snoop, to Em to Kendrick, these people represent different eras in hip hop. Arguably only 2 key figure are missing which are Eazy E and 2Pac (eventho he got paid homage with California love and I aint Mad at Ya). But there is also The Game, Rakim, Daz and Kurupt, Xzibit, Lady of Rage, Nate Dog, RBX, The DOC, MC Ren and Ice Cube. Dre has worked with the best and an 16 minute time frame cannot truly celebrate his career in full, but this is probably the next best thing.

    So gracious for Dr Dre to have a football game at his concert! 32 years of my life rolled up into a halftime show. I'm 38 years old been listening to rap music since I was 6. First rap song I ever heard sugar Hill gang . Thanks Mom! Lucky to have parents that are musicians and love every genre music! Because of my parents I have an amazing musical education! They believed in freedom to express yourself through music no matter what type of music touched you. Because music is a language that we all can speak and feel. I make sure my 10-year-old son does the same. Some of his music not a fan but it's all good I let him listen to whatever he wants. Him being 10 years old no so many different genres of music right now that most 18 year olds don't listen to.

    Ok. I gotta say, this has to be one of THE best reactions I’ve seen. I ADORE that you caught the symbolism and double entendres throughout. The whole “Em Kneeling” thing…well first of all you KNOW once they told him “eh no” he’s like “heh f*ck you. Imma do what I want”. Snoop is like “y’all want me to tone it down? Aight Imma crank it up”. I LOVE the double meaning of the knee. Just sooo much homage paid.
    And then there’s the whole “Snoop caught smoking weed before the show” “issue”. I saw that in headlines and was like “And in other news, the sky is blue.” Like y’all it’s Snoop. Dude straight up said he smoked in the White House. 🤣🤣🤣

      You must either be very young, or just haven't seen many SB HT Shows.
      Very, VERY good Show... But it barely cracks TOP-3 IMO, and I'm a huge hip-hop head. There were a lot of dope moments, but also a ton of disappointing ones which (again IMO) definitely knock it down a few pegs.

    This will go down as one of the best half time shows ever. In my lifetime I can only think of Prince jamming out to Purple Rain while it was raining in Miami as coming close. They killed it! So much nostalgia and joy jamming out to this. It was hilarious watching all my friends and family in our late 20's-40's dancing and singing along to this while the kids just stared on laughing.

    • @lalathedonna5223

      Yea I think prince will always be top, but this halftime performance is right under at the #2 spot. I firmly believe that bc these 2 performances are prime examples of you can actually do a live superbowl halftime show without pre-recording, pre-taping, and lip syncing. I was disappointed to find out that Whitney's Star Spangled Banner performance was pre-recorded than she lip synced the entire song and her performance was also not live when it was showed to the audience at home. Matter of fact other than MJ and maybe Beyonce I really didn't find any other artist that didn't lip sync.

    Dre also produced “no more drama” this was the one that triggered me to start thinking about Dre’s overall message for this. Think about it…starts out exciting the masses, then - no more drama, we gone be alright, don’t blow this shot…
    All the while there was this theme of “you forget i/we are still here” to the establishment or haters and basically a “rise up, stand strong” call to the people. They are all so good at intertwining many powerful messages. Very relevant to what/how so many are battling to overcome right now and every one of these GOATs could fill a novel on their one stories of overcoming and thriving and choosing to use their story to reach others is inspiring to me

    My dad raised me on this music. Too Short is one of my favorites of old school hip-hop. I thank my dad every single day for it. I had my mom watch my youngest so I wasn't distracted because I'll be damned if I was gonna miss this. To see this in my life, to see history being made, to legitimately tearing up was everything. The greats have put in enough time and effort into the game that they don't have to listen to anyone. And look how damn happy Dre looked!!! I think in that moment he realized he's changed the world with his music, production, and the lives of so many. Honestly, where would rap and hip-hop be without Dre? The way Kendrick and Em were set up for "Forgot About Dre" and how the crowd went nuts shows that NOBODY forgot Dre. He deserved this. Regardless, I hope this paved the way to see so much more rap and hip-hop in halftime shows in the future. I was also low-key hoping we'd get a Pac hologram too.

      Boomers still think this music is crap. Music is rarely appreciated by generations who were old when that music came out. That's you with modern hip hop. You're not in a position to judge how good it is compared to 90s hip hop because you don't understand what's coming out right now - it's not relevant to you or your lifestyle. Music of every generation represents what *that* generation wants and what's relevant to them. Whether you're able to appreciate it or not, classics will come out of today's hip hop just like classics eventually came out of 90s hip hop - despite Boomers believing that there is no intrinsic value in 90s music. And in a few decades, 90s hip hop will sound so outdated that no one will really appreciate it anymore. It'll sound like the equivalent of ragtime music from 1901. It won't mean that it's not good music compared to what's being put out in 2090, but it's an example of how tastes change by generation - and it says nothing about the intrinsic value of a generation's music. Music is primarily for the time in which it was created.
      I wish people would stop feeling the need to down modern music in order to compliment the music they grew up with.
