Inflation.

I thought Snoop and Eminem were the two best live performers. I wondered if it had anything to do with their free-styling backgrounds.

50 cent is from NYC. Mary is too, for the record.

Just watched this AMAZING half-time show (on YouTube!) & it was the best. half-time. show. ever.

It truly delivered. 🏈🏈🏈
To see all those L-E-G-E-N-D-S all on stage - singing their classics (except Kendrick of course) was phenomenal. 💫⚡️✨

Most of these artists are pushing fifty (No pun intended fiddy!!) or have surpassed it.
They will all go down in hip hop history as the true pioneers of this particular genre no doubt about it.

This show was much better than I could have ever imagined possible!! 👏🏽

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?

X1000. Altho this site isn’t the demographics for those artists.

Lol.

I’m 47.

These songs are part of the soundtrack from my prime.

But they don’t lend themselves to a super bowl show. Too bad Mary J didn’t sing one of her hits.

You just proved the point by not getting Family Affair is one of her biggest hits.

I know it was a hit.

But Real Love was the bigger hit. And more fun. The beat definitely would have been better for a dance performance.

You literally wrote “too bad she didn’t sing one of her hits”…

She did sing one of her biggest hits. And a way better dance song than Real Love.

+1 , Real Love was her first hit song, but Family Affair was the bigger hit and it was the song that really put her on the map. She has said that Family Affair is when she realized she made it to the next level of success. Dre produced that song and also has writing credits on the song.

Apparently too rich to even bother shedding 15 or 20 pounds in the month leading up to the show. With professional help that is so easy.

It was like they just rounded up a bunch of folks from a retirement home and put them on stage. Kendrick managed to put some life into his set, but the rest left a lot to be desired. I thought maybe they’re just too old, but remembered Jennifer Lopez was over 50 during her halftime show last year and was full of energy.

Snoop brought all the energy, even though he was fully baked. His blue track suit may or may not have been a nod to the Crips.

Snoop is always fully baked!

It’s why he and Martha are a match made in heaven. Love them both so much.

He's from LA. It was a nod to LA RAMS. GMAFB

It was a blue bandana pattern outfit. The Rams are blue and yellow stripes. Snoop is a Raiders fan.

lol of course it was an homage to the Crips, including the Crip walking.

Snoop is a STEELERS fan.

Loved the show! Every single minute of it. Usually,IMO, the half-time shows are total cringe.

I rewatched it again today. Freaking loved every minute of it. When they started California Love, I lost it. Such a great show for us GenXers. It's been a while since something got me out of my seat to dance.

Is this a real question?

50 is from NY

It doesn’t matter. He and Em were signed by Dre. Everyone knows about East West history.

I don't believe that's common knowledge. Dcum isn't the place for rap scholars, ya know?

Seriously? It's common knowledge. You don't have to be a rap scholar to know about East West history.

You’re on DCUM. Where these posters really think they represent actual society. This is a bubble.

This is not something obscure. I'll bet more people know that Biggie and Tupac were killed as part of the East/West rap beef than know that John Hinkley Jr. shot Reagan.

+1. No lies told.

It’s obscure for DCUM. Look at the comments.

I think this is correct. I don't particularly mind, since I love all the music, but I was a little surprised by how much this looked like an homage to Dre.

What did you expect? These are all artists that Dre has signed. of course this was the dre show. He was the first to sign Snoop. Mary J-Family Affair. He discovered Eminem and 50 cent. Kendrick is signed to his label.

Didn't really have expectations. I knew Dre and Snoop were performing but somehow I'd managed to not know who else was going to be there.
