I worked for him and it’s actually his wife who is awful, btw.

His wife beat a woman senseless and ruined her career?

Dee Barnes is her name.

This is what Dre has said about that incident:
... There is absolutely no excuse for it. No woman should ever be treated this way. Any man that puts his hands on a female is a f%cking idiot. He is out of his f%cking mind and I was out of my f%cking mind at the time. I f%cked up. I paid for it. I'm sorry for it and I apologized for it. I have this dark cloud that follows me and it's gonna be attached to me forever. It's a major blemish on who I am as a man. And every time it comes up, it just makes me feel f%cked up. So it's just like, what do I do? What do I do to get rid of this dark cloud? I don't know what else to do. I'm learning. I'm trying to become a better person, become a better man. In the end, I've hurt people that I care about. And for that, I'm really sorry.

Interesting. What does Dee say about it?

She was on Wendy Williams a few years ago and she talked about the incident a little bit but said she'd talk about it more in her book that she was working on. I don't think her book ever came out though, even though Wendy offered to help publish the book and to also help her with a movie to tell her story.

Dre also publicly apologize to Michel'le but she has said she did not feel his apology was sincere.

Inflation.

Looks like he spent too much time in the Candy Shop!

I was ready to love it. The sets were great, the concept was amazing. Even as it was, it was the best halftime show in years, but the sound balance was off and the main thing I could hear was the fans cheering.

That said, they did Generation X proud.

Yes, more California Love would have been amazing! Loved MJB and Family Affair was phenomenal! My teens were mortified at dh and me dancing around.

I live in “Diego” and my son lives in the “Bay”-(area!) so this song really represented!

These performers continue to be iconic and will likely die legends each in his own right.
Sans Kendrick Lamar > he is still young.

Sure Fiddy did gain some lbs. over the years, but he still looked great.
Better than most in his demographic.
To all you young ones out there…..the older you get, the tougher it is to keep weight off.
Bar none.

Dre + Eminem have aged so well.
And their performance energy levels solidified this.

Mary also is aging well.
Her voice was great.

It was so good. I could have watched that for an hour. Snoop especially crushed it, great energy and sounded perfect. Kendrick Lamar choreography was really cool. Great all around

Another (young) Gen Xer here who loved it. I remember blasting "California Love" in my car as a teen (grew up in SoCal) and I still love that song. Not the same without Tupac but still amazing.

I love the halftime shows - no matter who is performing or what genre.

I thought the group ( minus KL) made total sense.
I’m 44

Dre discovered Kendrick Lamar.

I was wondering how Kendrick Lamar fit into this group - thanks, PP! I’m 43 and can’t wait for the show - have my Snoop Dogg Cali Red ready to go, though I also debated gin and juice for obvious reasons.

He's from Compton and actually won a Pulitzer last year.

Loved it. Kendrick Lamar was really rapping/singing and put on a great performance.

Fiddy was singing to a back track, which is probably normal for a halftime performance. You could tell when he was coming down from hanging upside down and the verse started but he wasn't signing. NBD to me. Something similar seemed to happen with Eminem but I expected that. I do think Snoop was all him, no back track. Not sure about Mary J Blige or Dre.

All these years of wondering why the Super Bowl show featured oldies, I was so excited for something younger. Then I realized they were still playing oldies, I’m just old now

What do you mean before we need our AARP cards. We already have our AARP cards! Proud of it!

Lol.

Yep.

We are the old people now.

Think about this: old heads listening to Snoop and NWA in assisted living and nursing home facilities in the decades to come.

Maybe next year they can do a medley of alternative music legends from the 80s and 90s? Maybe they can get Weasel to curate something from the hallowed records of WHFS?

Mary J has a million other songs she could have picked.

This half time show wasn’t for you. It was for black culture.

Beyoncé did a much better job than these grandpas.

Because Beyonce actually has talent unlike the poor rhyming rappers. Mary J didn't sound good either.

Talent is in the eye of the beholder. I hate Beyonce and her nasal voice. I give her propos as a business woman.

Snoop targeting 50 year olds in the 2022 Super Bowl with songs that are 30 years old is basically the same as if Super Bowl XXVI in 1992 had featured Chubby Checker and Neil Sedaka.
