Snoop is a great performer because he's kept performing since he hit it big. Same for MJB. You can tell their voices are in shape. Dre certainly showed the rust - I don't think he's performed in *years* - at least since 2015 probably. Same for 50 Cent. He's more actor today. Their voices weren't there. I like the variety of the SB halftime shows. Post Janet, the NFL mined the elderly rockers for too long. Ive seen Dre live multiple times in the past 5 years. Hes performed with Ice Cube at Coachella, Eminem at Coachella, as well as some other guest appearances. He doesn't perform a ton, but he pops up here and there in some big shows. I think my favorite was when he came out with Ice Cube (who was headlining), Mc Ren, and Easy E son to reunite as NWA and honor Eazy E as well at Coachella.

And if people can't handle / understand vintage Dre, they would REALLY flip out at some of the new stuff out. Last night's show was ultra relevant to the SB market and was, in context, pretty mellow on the rap front... Also, people that "hate rap" or "hate country" don't really listen to music (or just love overly broad generalizations). I mean, I'm certainly not a country guy, but that doesn't mean there aren't some good country songs out there. They're just reaaaaaal few and far between on my playlist! Anywho, I loved the show and am stoked for my friends at Pepsi, no matter what Kieth Richards thinks of hip-hop I am by no means a true fan of hip hop. My son had a DR DRE album and I learned about le cronique LOL which took on other meanings. But the Album was The Chronic. I guess u could say a foundational Rap album if there is such a thing. Im not a snoop dog pounder lol I dont mind his corona beer commercials I think they are pretty...anyway music is crucial in however form a person wishes to partake 🙂 **flashes peace sign***-m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my only defense I didn't know that the gathering was just for Cali/LA artists. I really paid no attention to anything leading up to the SB after...the thing that happened in KC. Haha no problem bud. Missy Elliot is great live too, seen her come out as a surprise guest at some shows and kill it. She definitely was one of the most important female artists and overall artists in hip hop history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despise country music. So yeah seems the half the country Hates rap statement but like country is well wrong. 💯 the hanging upside down bit was a callback to the original music video for the song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak-O Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Those half time shows are a real killer for someone trying to watch the Super Bowl in Europe. The game starts around 1 am and I usually fall asleep during the endless half time show and miss the second half of the game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Lou Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Like a lot of people, I attended a super bowl party that I thoroughly enjoyed. I could probably write a book about the antics and all the super bowl parties I've attended over the years, but nobody would probably ever read it. However; it doesn't lessen the impact that the game and the half time show has had on it's patrons over the years and this one was no exception. And by the way, I'm almost 64. I noticed that some of the guests watched the entire game and the halftime show. Some guests only watched the game, not the halftime show. While others just watched the halftime show. Others were so drunk, I was convinced that they didn't even know their own name. Indeed, an overly, entertaining evening for Sweet Lou. So, in closing, we are all born with the right that every one is entitled to their own opinion. It's just like our ass! We all have one. My stance on the half time show, because I too have an ass! Without music, life would be a journey through the desert. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
