mrlboyd Long time listener . Happy to see how much the channel has grown. Just have a couple requests, what if I was white- Eminem and sticky Fingaz, Off the wall- Eminem and Redman, stir crazy- Eminem and madd rapper. Some older tracks that have flown under the radar. Definitely worth your reaction
My favorite part of this whole performance was seeing Dre's big ass smile! Like, being able to perform at a Superbowl Halftime show was a dream come true for him. His smile made my heart sing!
@@OGRadRider22 no performers ever make money off the halftime show. The NFL pays for 10 million of the set and the performer has to pay the rest. Artists agree to do it for the publicity.
Snoop throwing signs, Em taking a knee, Dre leaving words in song, yeah they rocked this!! Smiling the whole time! Legendary!!! Love my generation!!!!!!
The amount of history and respect for hip hop on that stage. That has got to be one of the most expensive and iconic pictures at the end standing next to each other. The amount of knowledge up there
@Ricky Spanish Yeah, you obviously work for the RUclips Music Critics Department. I'm just curious how one gets into that. Like on Rotten Tomatoe. Maybe I can add that as a side hustle. How do you BECOME a music EXPERT? Are there classes that you took?
@J Hoop Ricky Spanish is right because @OnaKwest57's mom knows the details?! 🤔 Hmm! How would she know and how would HE know over her own son and daughter? Do you and Ricky Spanish imbibe of the same substance?! 😏
I love the fact that they performed for the audience in the stadium like an actual concert, while everyone else has basically performed for TV. I just think how the audience was more involved a d included made the energy just go crazy...💯
really?? too bad that with that stage facing only one side of the stadium 3/4 of the spectators had to watch it on the screen. lol... i mean look at 50, he stays inside that container the whole time he's singing. and those who sang on the roof never turned the other side
I grew up in the 80s/90s and never really listed to rap or hip-hop, but this was definitely one of the best Half-Time shows I've ever seen. I loved every minute of it. And, yes, the set was awesome! I didn't want the show to end. We had such a great time watching it in my house. Cheers to all involved!
I am not a Hip Hop fan. At all. But I recognize talent in any form. This was one of the best halftime shows ever. Best performed, produced, arranged. The collaboration...epic
Interesting. I love hip-hop, I love all 5 artists and their music, I enjoyed the show, but I’d be lying if I said I was blown away by this. Kendrick was my favourite part of the show, he brought the energy the most imo. Symbolically, I love the show for it being _‘the 1st hip hop halftime show’_ and hopefully we get more rap SuperBowl headliners going forward. But I just don’t get how what they did could be seen as the *BIGGEST spectacle* when you have people in SuperBowl halftime shows: literally flying in helicopters, jumping off roofs, riding giant mechanical animals, crowd surfing, flipping through the air, doing massive light Shows and out-of-this-world firework displays. Whether you like those artists are not, those stunts are OBJECTIVELY bigger spectacles and this halftime show is not on that same level of grandeur. It will however have the impact because the symbolism of this watershed moment of hip-hop/rap the SuperBowl, but as a spectacle itself, set-piece for set-piece, we’re not about to pretend like there haven’t been grander more elaborate spectacles at halftime.
@@nameisamine definitely not the first hip hop half time show. Way back in 2004 they had: P Diddy, Justin Timberlake and Nelly Then in 2011 it was The Black Eyed Peas 2013 it was Beyoncé 2014 Bruno Mars Pretty much all of pop has been hip hop for like 12/15 years. Even Katy Perry has rap sections of her songs. Maybe I’m biased, I’m not really a hip-hop or rap fan, and I pretty much tend to lump all of it together, and I know that there are many differences and sub-genres, just like with rock and metal (big prog rock/prog metal fan personally) I’d like to see a half time show that’s My Chemical Romance, Yellow Card, Blink-182, All Time Low etc 😂 But again, I’m pretty biased and I recognize that. Culture continues to change, and US culture pretty much is hip-hop culture at this point.
I heard others comment on Kendrick's song selection, but to me this entire show felt like they were paying homage to Dre over all, which I'm totally here for, was a great show
Mate, I'm a 34 year old white lady from regional Australia, and when i tell you i was hyped watching this Halftime show- i was bloody HYPED!! It was soo good!
I'm a 55 year old white lady from Texas and I was thrilled with the show, myself! A lot of these songs were popular when I was stationed in Osan, South Korea and Ramstein, Germany, so it was a memory trip for me.
All of the performers and individuals involved in this halftime show did a great job. I have a special place in my heart for dancers, musicians, sets, etc. I gotta say though, what we've been going through the last two years was spot on for Kendrick Lamar.
The set consisted of scale recreation of landmarks from Compton - the MLK, Jr. memorial at Compton City Hall, part of the Compton courthouse, and Tam’s Butgers No. 21. On top of a map of southern LA. Such a great concept and execution! Across the board!
So, this was, as everyone else has said amazing and probably one of the best Halftime shows of all time. The thing I really love is... They are playing in SoFi Stadium, in the heart of Inglewood. With the Rams in the Superbowl, playing in LA... there was no other set that could have done it justice. I don't live in LA anymore, but I'm still a Long Beach kid at heart... and it was awesome to see this.
I think the amount of talent on the stage at the same time is insane. All I know is most people watching with me were hoping this would just turn into a concert and did not give af about the game after this lol. Wild
This whole performance was a throw back to my childhood/young adulthood. Memories flooding back from middle and high school, playing RuneScape with my whole class in the library after school... Driving to Sadie Hawkins, Homecoming, or Prom... Man...
I watched this live. 90s/00s rap/hip hop is untouchable, timeless, legendary. I had it cranked as loud as I could go without bothering the neighbors haha 💯🔥
"Why is 50 upside down?" *shakes head* Come on man that's what he did in the music video! Also since apparently you didn't recognize I Aint Mad At Cha on the piano, you should definitely react to that from Tupac.
Man, I can tell how much you're loving this by how often you're smiling. Awesome. And I gotta say, "Get Rich or Die Tryin" is a top-50 album ever. Certified banger.
I didn’t know Dr Dre could play piano… also that set design was so good certain shots looked like vfx. Definitely my favorite halftime show in recent memory, maybe ever. They all looked really happy to be together, especially Dre and Snoop
This is incredible... this is now my favorite Super Bowl Half Time Show I have ever seen . I have been watching the Super Bowl for a few decades and this one struck a cord with me . The music , set design , choreography , the fashion in this... this is all genius . I am in Awe over this . MrLboyd Reacts , Thank you for sharing this on your channel .
What I loved about this performance is how clean it was. Like....the halftime show is always chaos, tons of people everywhere, don't know where to look...the choreography was so tight, and the set was so well planned. I loved it! edit to add...they all performed live, not lip dub. That is impressive
This was one hell of a half-time show, and west-coast represented itself in a massive way. Dre , Snoop and Eminem are the kings of their generation and they showed the new generation how it's done. Rarely i seen a Super-bowl audience go complete nuts as during this performance, the roar could be felt in every living room. But no wonder really, if you have these artists who have that catalog of massive global hits, it is bound to be a party, and dang.. what a party it was! For me, easily up there with Prince's show (and that of Bruno Mars, for me his show was top 3 as well)
Honestly, I loved it. Not sure if I'd say it's my fave but it hit All the right notes. I loved that, when Dre sat down at the piano, he didn't go directly into his song. Instead, he played a little of Pac's 'I Ain't Mad At Cha". That part right there... that got me. I was wondering how they'd sneak him in. = )
That actually upset me. It was a big tease and I was waiting to see a hologram of Tupac. I guess I shouldn't expect much from this culture. Grateful that Dre sneak it in, he probably had to ask for it to be done
@@Kebren9 No he didn't "sneak it in"! He didn't have to ask for it to be done either! Dont understand why you would think there'd be an issue there at all!!! If you didn't notice ....they did one of Tupac's songs! CALIFORNIA!!!
California love is doctor Dre's song when Tupac was in prison he met dre for the 1st time and dre asked him to be on California love to Premier tupac's greatest album of all time all eyes on me
This was music from my teens and early twenties. I love these artists/their music and I was really worried the production wouldn’t give their talent or their songs justice. Mary J sounded and looked incredible. Dre sounded MUCH better than I was expecting- I didn’t know he could play piano. It was a little more tame than I was expecting somehow, but I still enjoyed it. I was teleported back in time for the majority of it. Edit: I can’t be the only one that was expecting a Tupac hologram or video for California Love.
I'm so glad that Dre let the NFL play at his concert. Man I'm 42 and this takes me back my dude. The crowd was so freaking loud!! I've watched this about 100 times and I'm still up dancing. There was only one missing and that slip from "I Ain't Mad At Cha" to "Still Dre" made me tear up. Kendrick Lamar has apparently earned his place which I am freaking on board for that. Man I'm enjoying the hell out of this!!
It’s interesting to see the evolution of societies music taste by looking at who performs the halftime show. Go look at 1992-2022 and watch the change. I don’t really listen to rap/hip-hop, but I really appreciated how Snoop and 50 Cent played songs I actually know. It’s hard to have avoided their iconic work, even if you don’t listen to rap.
Yea supposedly Snoop wasn't supposed to do anything gang related, but he still wore his blue flag outfit while throwing up his gang signs as he's crip walking..Dre was supposed to change most of his lyrics and Em was told he wasn't allowed to take a knee...Matter of fact Em was quoted saying that Eminem won't be performing Shady was.. and Shady is known to do exactly the opposite of what he is told and Dre x Snoop are to gangster to care..
lol snoop wasnt meant to do anything gang related, none of them were meant to kneel and they were asked to edit the anti police lines. These are all billionaires and millionaires they dont follow peoples rules.
@@lalathedonna5223 ha ha, yep - as soon as I saw Snoop with that blue outfit I was like…😳 He said he wouldn’t wear the blue bandana - so I suppose that part was true! Lol! He just went for the whole blue bandana made into a jumper so it was even more noticeable!!!! 😂 Epic show - it’ll be interesting to see if NFL does anything!
I was one of the lighting engineers on this and let me tell you it was the best show I’ve ever done in the last 25 years. It was truly a dream! Glad I stumbled onto this, thanks for sharing!
The only way this could have been better is if Ice Cube and Xzibit were there and could you imagine if DMX was still around and Ruff Ryders Anthem started playing...OH MY FUCK !!
Xzibit at the least got a shout out in the In Da Club lyrics. Surprised actually he didn't show up for a 'What's the Difference?' verse. Maybe not as iconic as what they went with.
Yeah, this was in my top five half-time shows of all time. The production quality and performances were impeccable, and you've got paragons of the genre there.
I love hip hop/ rap with a live band... When I pick up my bass guitar, about half of my memorized bass lines are rap and hip hop. This was a fun halftime show. My favorite is still (Miami '07) Prince playing his set in the rain and just killing it.
I loved this! I had a stupid smile on my face the entire time I watched this as I sang along to every song! Reminds me of cruising up and down Noland Rd blasting this music in the 90’s!
I absolutely loved this and adored your reaction to it too. I have listened to this halftime show on repeat, I can't get enough of it. Thank you for sharing the joy! It is wonderful to see you smile, and it's how I felt as well ❤
Ha! I KNEW you would do this one. I saw someone on Twitter say Mary J Blige dances like an auntie who just got her divorce finalized and I was all THAT'S WHY I LOVE HER
As a Gen-x girl, I thouroughly enjoyed this half-time show. I was shaking my ass and raising my glass, lol! My friends and I were all laughing about their kids seeing them in a whole different light when that beat dropped, lol!
You missed the fact Em took the knee, when he was specifically told not to by the NFL. Nobody tells Em what not to do 👌 Dre had to to take "still not loving police" out of his lyrics too, which he didn't 😁
Nothing more impactful for real black people than to have the richest black people on Earth shitting on police with their rap sheets long as hell and another rich ass white guy kneeling for absolutely no reason. Come the hell on. Are black people really dumb enough to buy that load of absolute bullshit? Racists are the only ones who think that little of black people, well racists and rich white liberals, I guess that's the same thing.
Big football fan here, was a awesome game and the halftime show was great . One of the good one i saw in last 20yrs. Prince is still at the top of the list for me No complain for this Superbowl
A love letter to Los Angeles. I haven't lived in LA for a while, but dang, it took me back to a time and place I didn't realize I missed. I've watched it several times, can't get over the tarp on the field, so cool. I was telling a friend the next day that show was 100% for LA. Millions may have seen it, but it was almost a love letter to LA. Performing in Inglewood, the Los Angeles Rams playing in the game, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre being Los Angeles natives, it was oozing California Love. RIP Tupac
I loved it! I’m a midwestern middle aged white woman and 90% my friends hated it….. but I absolutely loved it! I’ve heard all those songs before, most of them I have on CD’s lol. Awesome OG rap songs! I loved it!
Omfg i'm so happy! My high school nostalgia hit me like a punch in the face! I'm a 34yo man and this brought a tear to my eyes! Icing on the cake is to see fox news throw tantrums over this half time show for the next week 😂 Also, feel for 50s voice, must've lost it during the countless rehearsals for this show.
greatest halftime show ever!!!!!! It will be remembered for eternity. I don't think Dre ever stopped smiling, He had such a huge smile the entire time. Much love and respect for all the legends!!!!!!!!!!!!
I graduated high school in '97 and this is my junior high/high school life right here. killed it!... I was trying to explain to my nephews about all these artists. So frick'n dope...
I graduated in '11 and this was literally my childhood from grade school through college. The surprise 50 was a throwback a didn't know I needed. And the Em knee for pac hit way different.
I grew up in the 80/90 too and can't compare the music from then to today. Absolutely brilliant performance. They were all amazing. This show was thee best show ever in history. Thank you to Dr Dre and his talent. Snoop , Mary ,...all were all soooo good. I'm 49 and this made me get up and dance. 🙏🇨🇦 Bravo
90s and early 2000s hip hop has been and will always be the Pilar of hip hop in my opinion. This was absolutely amazing 🤩!!!! Love to Kendrick as well. Amazing performance. Even Eminem brought it!!!! Love to Dre and Snoop for bringing back memories from when I first started listening to Hip hop. Great show guys and gals, and Mary J. 😍😍😍 wow she was fire 🔥and still looks beautiful. You still got it going on Mary J. This half time show will go down in history as one of the greatest !!!!!!
This was in the new Sofi stadium which is IN Inglewood, the heart of south LA. It embodie SoCal, there's so much symbolism in the set design, the wardrobe choices, etc. The field covering is a scale of the Inglewood metro with LED lights. There's so much detail.
This line up was excellent.MJB was on fire. Em was great. Snoop was fun. I don't know if I had ever heard KL but I was glad I saw him and finally heard him. And while I am not a fan of Dre's personal life, I think he put on a great performance and made this work.
I know how you were talking about some of the songs from your childhood. I turn 40 this year, and the music hits a heavy nostalgic vibe for me. I started really getting into hip hop with early 90s stuff like Kris Kross, Hammer, etc. But these songs in particular rang true to my high school days (to what some may call their hayday). The fear is that these songs wouldn't be able to be performed flawlessly as the performers are now 20 some years older...but these performances were absolutely flawless. Set design was amazing. Choreography was incredible. I'll have to agree with you. This is by far the best halftime show thus far!
One of the best halftime shows I've ever seen. I do wish they would have let Eminem do a different song. I swear anytime he gets invited somewhere he has to perform Lose Yourself.
The last time I enjoyed a half time show this much was when I was a teen in high school. This show was past due but so freaking fire!! Have replayed it a few times last night and today, amazing performances and production.
I was in the middle of a session with a technical death metal band and made them break so we could watch this on the outdoor projector. I had higher expectations, but respect the production and performances, because they really were awesome. Usually the halftime show is all backtracked and they all had live mics for the bulk of the show. Pretty rad.
I love the look on Dre's face when Eminem singing you only got one shot this is your chance. Cuz he knows this is their one chance to represent at super bowl Sunday and you better make it blow, and they were, and he knew it.
If anyone has seen snoop and kevin hart doing the Olympics recap then you'll know where I'm going with this. I wish Snoop had that horse out there crip walking with him. Haha
I agree. It was one of the best performances however when I watched it live the spoken word seemed lower then the band. Much clearer in your reaction. Much respect
I appreciate you delivery, well annunciated, varied vocabulary, no unnecessary cussing. On top of a huge variety content. Other should pay attention to you. Thank you sir
I love 90s hip-hop! Reminds me of going out dancing at the clubs with my girlfriends! I'm almost 50 now and still LOVE IT!!! Thank you @mrlboyd for the reaction! ❤️
I remember being a little kid finding a CD at the park and listening and falling in love with that CD only to find out it’s Mary j Blidge no more drama and I still love that album to this day
Love that Eminem took a knee by the way. My cousin is Nate Boyer who encouraged Kap to take a knee (look it up if you don't believe me).. Taking a knee is patriotic, NOT disrespectful... believe...
NFL really thought they could tell 3 huge controversial artist not to do something and thought they’d listen Eminem would do it just to spite you. Such an amazing performance. Love the ode to the original “in da club” video with him being upside down. 😂😂 I wish Eminem had a longer performance. They told snoop he couldn’t rep crip so he wore all blue and crip walked. They told Dre he couldn’t say “still not loving police” and he did. They told slim he couldn’t kneel and he did.
17:32 - the piece Dre was playing on the piano is a classic Tupac Shakur record called I ain’t mad at cha Also - Eminem took a knee, which is badass as he was specifically instructed by the NFL not to do it Snoop Dogg threw up signs, wore blue and dropped a C Walk. All of which he was asked not to do What a show

with a tank on from the early GUnit days.
I'm not sure why but seeing that smile on Dre's face just made me so happy.
SAME 🙂
My nephew actually asked me: "is dr. Dre an actual doctor?" haha... I had to explain 'rap names' to him :)
You should have just said yes 🤣
He should be a doctor tho....if there is a PH D in hip hop, dre is that doctor
He is THE doctor of classic beats 😆

Its kind of required to be a producer
hes known for some of the most iconic piano based beats so i would hope he knows how to play a bit haha
lol but that's not playing piano... common.
Look up dr dre does still DRE on piano he has a grey hoodie 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That one he did was I ain’t mad at cha by Tupac when mr Boyd thought it was Mary j again

The music , set design , choreography , the fashion in this... this is all genius . I am in Awe over this . MrLboyd Reacts , Thank you for sharing this on your channel .
What I loved about this performance is how clean it was. Like....the halftime show is always chaos, tons of people everywhere, don't know where to look...the choreography was so tight, and the set was so well planned. I loved it! edit to add...they all performed live, not lip dub. That is impressive
They basically shot a 14 minute music video, live in one take.
This was one hell of a half-time show, and west-coast represented itself in a massive way.
Dre , Snoop and Eminem are the kings of their generation and they showed the new generation how it's done.
Rarely i seen a Super-bowl audience go complete nuts as during this performance, the roar could be felt in every living room.
But no wonder really, if you have these artists who have that catalog of massive global hits, it is bound to be a party, and dang.. what a party it was!
For me, easily up there with Prince's show (and that of Bruno Mars, for me his show was top 3 as well)
Honestly, I loved it. Not sure if I'd say it's my fave but it hit All the right notes. I loved that, when Dre sat down at the piano, he didn't go directly into his song. Instead, he played a little of Pac's 'I Ain't Mad At Cha". That part right there... that got me. I was wondering how they'd sneak him in. = )
That actually upset me. It was a big tease and I was waiting to see a hologram of Tupac. I guess I shouldn't expect much from this culture. Grateful that Dre sneak it in, he probably had to ask for it to be done
@@Kebren9 No he didn't "sneak it in"! He didn't have to ask for it to be done either! Dont understand why you would think there'd be an issue there at all!!! If you didn't notice ....they did one of Tupac's songs! CALIFORNIA!!!
California love is doctor Dre's song when Tupac was in prison he met dre for the 1st time and dre asked him to be on California love to Premier tupac's greatest album of all time all eyes on me
Every single one of them is an icon of Hip Hop. This was epic at least. One of the best half time shows of Superbowl for real
Eminem and Snoop Dogg took the show ...💥.... Eminem takes a knee .....💥💯
For Tupac
This was music from my teens and early twenties. I love these artists/their music and I was really worried the production wouldn’t give their talent or their songs justice. Mary J sounded and looked incredible. Dre sounded MUCH better than I was expecting- I didn’t know he could play piano. It was a little more tame than I was expecting somehow, but I still enjoyed it. I was teleported back in time for the majority of it. Edit: I can’t be the only one that was expecting a Tupac hologram or video for California Love.
I'm so glad that Dre let the NFL play at his concert. Man I'm 42 and this takes me back my dude. The crowd was so freaking loud!! I've watched this about 100 times and I'm still up dancing. There was only one missing and that slip from "I Ain't Mad At Cha" to "Still Dre" made me tear up. Kendrick Lamar has apparently earned his place which I am freaking on board for that. Man I'm enjoying the hell out of this!!
It’s interesting to see the evolution of societies music taste by looking at who performs the halftime show. Go look at 1992-2022 and watch the change.
I don’t really listen to rap/hip-hop, but I really appreciated how Snoop and 50 Cent played songs I actually know. It’s hard to have avoided their iconic work, even if you don’t listen to rap.
I'm still amazed that they let Snoop hit a C-walk, fantastic show.
Let did you say let him
Bahaha Snoop gon bust that C if anyone likes it or not.
@@jamesfair9751 Haha, true!
Yea supposedly Snoop wasn't supposed to do anything gang related, but he still wore his blue flag outfit while throwing up his gang signs as he's crip walking..Dre was supposed to change most of his lyrics and Em was told he wasn't allowed to take a knee...Matter of fact Em was quoted saying that Eminem won't be performing Shady was.. and Shady is known to do exactly the opposite of what he is told and Dre x Snoop are to gangster to care..
lol snoop wasnt meant to do anything gang related, none of them were meant to kneel and they were asked to edit the anti police lines. These are all billionaires and millionaires they dont follow peoples rules.
@@lalathedonna5223 ha ha, yep - as soon as I saw Snoop with that blue outfit I was like…😳
He said he wouldn’t wear the blue bandana - so I suppose that part was true! Lol! He just went for the whole blue bandana made into a jumper so it was even more noticeable!!!! 😂
Epic show - it’ll be interesting to see if NFL does anything!
I've watch it like 20 times and get chills everytime I didn't want it to end
Legends, but best part of this reaction was the look on your face watching the queen sing. This music hits different.
I was one of the lighting engineers on this and let me tell you it was the best show I’ve ever done in the last 25 years. It was truly a dream!
Glad I stumbled onto this, thanks for sharing!
The only way this could have been better is if Ice Cube and Xzibit were there and could you imagine if DMX was still around and Ruff Ryders Anthem started playing...OH MY FUCK !!
Xzibit at the least got a shout out in the In Da Club lyrics. Surprised actually he didn't show up for a 'What's the Difference?' verse. Maybe not as iconic as what they went with.
Yes agreed it would've been super lit
Yeah, this was in my top five half-time shows of all time. The production quality and performances were impeccable, and you've got paragons of the genre there.
Everyone did their thing🔥🔥 absolutely one of the best halftime shows I’ve seen!
Loved this! It's about time that the most popular genra of music has been showcased. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
16:30 I was thinking the exact same thing, the band was on fire🤟🔥
Watching you try to have a level headed reaction while simultaneously jamming the hell out was hilarious 😆😆 it was like Jekyll and Hyde 😂
I love hip hop/ rap with a live band...
When I pick up my bass guitar, about half of my memorized bass lines are rap and hip hop.
This was a fun halftime show.
My favorite is still (Miami '07) Prince playing his set in the rain and just killing it.
Yeah this is behind Prince but it is amazing.
Don't forget the King of Pop. MJ
I loved this! I had a stupid smile on my face the entire time I watched this as I sang along to every song! Reminds me of cruising up and down Noland Rd blasting this music in the 90’s!
I never realized how much adlibs Em was doing before he appeared.
I absolutely loved this and adored your reaction to it too. I have listened to this halftime show on repeat, I can't get enough of it. Thank you for sharing the joy! It is wonderful to see you smile, and it's how I felt as well ❤
Ha! I KNEW you would do this one.
I saw someone on Twitter say Mary J Blige dances like an auntie who just got her divorce finalized and I was all THAT'S WHY I LOVE HER
As a Gen-x girl, I thouroughly enjoyed this half-time show. I was shaking my ass and raising my glass, lol! My friends and I were all laughing about their kids seeing them in a whole different light when that beat dropped, lol!
i'm not a hip-hop head, but this was my favorite halftime show since MJ's all those years ago.
You missed the fact Em took the knee, when he was specifically told not to by the NFL. Nobody tells Em what not to do 👌 Dre had to to take "still not loving police" out of his lyrics too, which he didn't 😁
Don’t forget them censoring “and we hate popo” from Kendrick
@James Coltrain I missed that. Thanks for educating me 👂👌
Nothing more impactful for real black people than to have the richest black people on Earth shitting on police with their rap sheets long as hell and another rich ass white guy kneeling for absolutely no reason. Come the hell on. Are black people really dumb enough to buy that load of absolute bullshit? Racists are the only ones who think that little of black people, well racists and rich white liberals, I guess that's the same thing.
Big football fan here, was a awesome game and the halftime show was great . One of the good one i saw in last 20yrs.
Prince is still at the top of the list for me
No complain for this Superbowl
A love letter to Los Angeles. I haven't lived in LA for a while, but dang, it took me back to a time and place I didn't realize I missed. I've watched it several times, can't get over the tarp on the field, so cool. I was telling a friend the next day that show was 100% for LA. Millions may have seen it, but it was almost a love letter to LA. Performing in Inglewood, the Los Angeles Rams playing in the game, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre being Los Angeles natives, it was oozing California Love. RIP Tupac
This was a legendary performance love the video bro stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Loved the 2pac tribute with the piano “ain’t mad at cha” keys towards the end.
And I think Mary stole the show.
I loved it! I’m a midwestern middle aged white woman and 90% my friends hated it….. but I absolutely loved it! I’ve heard all those songs before, most of them I have on CD’s lol. Awesome OG rap songs! I loved it!
Iconic...and L.A. won the game. I've never been more proud of my city. Just happy I was alive to witness each one in the prime of their careers. 🏆
Omfg i'm so happy! My high school nostalgia hit me like a punch in the face! I'm a 34yo man and this brought a tear to my eyes!
Icing on the cake is to see fox news throw tantrums over this half time show for the next week 😂
Also, feel for 50s voice, must've lost it during the countless rehearsals for this show.
greatest halftime show ever!!!!!! It will be remembered for eternity. I don't think Dre ever stopped smiling, He had such a huge smile the entire time. Much love and respect for all the legends!!!!!!!!!!!!
I graduated high school in '97 and this is my junior high/high school life right here. killed it!... I was trying to explain to my nephews about all these artists. So frick'n dope...
I graduated in '11 and this was literally my childhood from grade school through college. The surprise 50 was a throwback a didn't know I needed. And the Em knee for pac hit way different.
I grew up in the 80/90 too and can't compare the music from then to today. Absolutely brilliant performance. They were all amazing. This show was thee best show ever in history. Thank you to Dr Dre and his talent. Snoop , Mary ,...all were all soooo good. I'm 49 and this made me get up and dance. 🙏🇨🇦 Bravo
90s and early 2000s hip hop has been and will always be the Pilar of hip hop in my opinion. This was absolutely amazing 🤩!!!! Love to Kendrick as well. Amazing performance. Even Eminem brought it!!!! Love to Dre and Snoop for bringing back memories from when I first started listening to Hip hop. Great show guys and gals, and Mary J. 😍😍😍 wow she was fire 🔥and still looks beautiful. You still got it going on Mary J. This half time show will go down in history as one of the greatest !!!!!!
This was in the new Sofi stadium which is IN Inglewood, the heart of south LA. It embodie SoCal, there's so much symbolism in the set design, the wardrobe choices, etc. The field covering is a scale of the Inglewood metro with LED lights. There's so much detail.
This line up was excellent.MJB was on fire. Em was great. Snoop was fun. I don't know if I had ever heard KL but I was glad I saw him and finally heard him. And while I am not a fan of Dre's personal life, I think he put on a great performance and made this work.
I know how you were talking about some of the songs from your childhood. I turn 40 this year, and the music hits a heavy nostalgic vibe for me. I started really getting into hip hop with early 90s stuff like Kris Kross, Hammer, etc. But these songs in particular rang true to my high school days (to what some may call their hayday). The fear is that these songs wouldn't be able to be performed flawlessly as the performers are now 20 some years older...but these performances were absolutely flawless. Set design was amazing. Choreography was incredible. I'll have to agree with you. This is by far the best halftime show thus far!
One of the best halftime shows I've ever seen. I do wish they would have let Eminem do a different song. I swear anytime he gets invited somewhere he has to perform Lose Yourself.
I was hoping for Real Slim Shady.
Probably because it's one of his 'cleaner' songs. Less editing lol
I mean I’m not sure “Kill you” or any of his other songs would work out in this situation 😂
Perfect song for a football game though
Em did one song so 50c could do one
#2 behind Prince in the Miami Rain singing Purple Rain. BEST. EVER.
I absolutely love it as a hip hop head I was grinning the whole time haha.
The last time I enjoyed a half time show this much was when I was a teen in high school. This show was past due but so freaking fire!! Have replayed it a few times last night and today, amazing performances and production.
This performance makes me miss Nate Dogg so much. He would have been amazing mixed in to this
Yes!
It ain't a hit til nate dogg spits
I love that Anderson. Paak was on drums 👌🔥
I was in the middle of a session with a technical death metal band and made them break so we could watch this on the outdoor projector. I had higher expectations, but respect the production and performances, because they really were awesome. Usually the halftime show is all backtracked and they all had live mics for the bulk of the show. Pretty rad.
I’m an old lady living in Guatemala and this was DEFINITELY the BEST
my literal childhood flashed in front of me watching this years halftime show
I love the look on Dre's face when Eminem singing you only got one shot this is your chance. Cuz he knows this is their one chance to represent at super bowl Sunday and you better make it blow, and they were, and he knew it.
I wasn't ready for 50 to come down
The genuine happiness in your face makes me happy as well. I know I'm not the only one. Don't let that go unnoticed.
If anyone has seen snoop and kevin hart doing the Olympics recap then you'll know where I'm going with this. I wish Snoop had that horse out there crip walking with him. Haha
He did say he was gonna put the horse in a video….. maybe next time. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I often come back to this to watch it with you bro. Thank you for making it a good one.
I agree. It was one of the best performances however when I watched it live the spoken word seemed lower then the band. Much clearer in your reaction. Much respect
Of course they had to fix the audio. When I watched it live the audio problem almost killed the vibe for me.
I appreciate you delivery, well annunciated, varied vocabulary, no unnecessary cussing. On top of a huge variety content. Other should pay attention to you. Thank you sir
Loved your reaction when you witnessed Snoop C-walking lol.
Oh and Em's shoes are apparently called 'Air Shady', an upcoming release.
I love 90s hip-hop! Reminds me of going out dancing at the clubs with my girlfriends! I'm almost 50 now and still LOVE IT!!! Thank you @mrlboyd for the reaction! ❤️
This show was amazing! One of the best I’ve seen, but if you haven’t seen Prince’s halftime show you definitely should
I love the review!!!!! I’m impressed how fast you uploaded this video
Em had 1 of 1 Jordan 3 "Air Shady" on, you can find them on Eminems twitter
Absolutely epic performances!
I’m hyped all over again watching your review!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Loved every second of it. But dammit, I was really hoping for Ice Cube/Warren G to be involved in some capacity.
I remember being a little kid finding a CD at the park and listening and falling in love with that CD only to find out it’s Mary j Blidge no more drama and I still love that album to this day
The stadium is actually the rams new stadium. It's only like 2 or 3 years old. Brand new stadium
That smile on your face homie!!! Love it! This was an awesome performance and I'm so happy I got to see it!
Love that Eminem took a knee by the way. My cousin is Nate Boyer who encouraged Kap to take a knee (look it up if you don't believe me).. Taking a knee is patriotic, NOT disrespectful... believe...
NFL really thought they could tell 3 huge controversial artist not to do something and thought they’d listen Eminem would do it just to spite you. Such an amazing performance. Love the ode to the original “in da club” video with him being upside down. 😂😂 I wish Eminem had a longer performance.
They told snoop he couldn’t rep crip so he wore all blue and crip walked.
They told Dre he couldn’t say “still not loving police” and he did.
They told slim he couldn’t kneel and he did.
Dre I think was the lead he put in like 8 mil making it what he wanted and ems sneakers were his own brand of Jordan’s like his feature on the shoe.
He posted it on his insta
17:32 - the piece Dre was playing on the piano is a classic Tupac Shakur record called I ain’t mad at cha
Also - Eminem took a knee, which is badass as he was specifically instructed by the NFL not to do it
Snoop Dogg threw up signs, wore blue and dropped a C Walk. All of which he was asked not to do
What a show
Where did you hear they didn't want eminem to take a knee or snoop. I'm curious
@@jesusisking9171 I’ve saw that too but since saw they denied telling him so 🤷🏼♀️
@@emmajp_9385 after their most popular Super Bowl show in years they would deny it any chance they got
This is THE best half time show of all time. And I LOVE how much you love it too
Eminem 😭😭
G.O.A.T 😍😍
When King Nas posts a photo with a caption saying Greatness.
Nothing to argue.
