Chicken Boo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, T&C said: The music? Where is it? Dancing and prancing and rhyme words can only go so far. I don't think those horn "players" even played one note. Keith Richard nailed it: September 4, 2015, Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards told The New York Daily News that Rap music was for "tone deaf people.. " He went on to say "All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they're happy. There's an enormous market for people who can't tell one note from another." Didn't know I had to be a musical scholar to enjoy it. Again, there are quite a few artists that use live bands when performing. The complexity of a true MC's lyrics aren't something I'd expect a Keith Richards to understand. It takes a good ear to catch the word play, schemes, double and triple entrendes, etc. Edited February 14, 2022 by Chicken Boo 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I know I'm an old fart but that halftime show was boring.

T master Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) I'm not much of a rap fan but that being said I enjoyed Dr. Dre & Snoop more than i thought i would enjoy it even though Snoop did say some pretty ignorant things about killing cops in the past of which all was forgotten & i also really liked Mary J i think she was the highlight of the show .

I suspected a lot, if not all, lip syncing. I say that because the vocal levels were too perfect. In a live setting with a hand held mic, you will hear a telltale fade in and out as the mic is raised and lowered. I didn't hear any of that in the show even though most of the singers used hand held mics. Just now, JoPoy88 said: Jesus.

That was after they had the likes of Petty, Aerosmith, The Who in consecutive years & i thought man this next generation doesn't have a clue what good music is these guys are icons with in the music world & you don't want to here them & would rather have the Black Eyed Peas ??

In fact, I love all kinds of music except Country which I cant stand. That was literally going to go down as probably the greatest halftime show so far in history. Its fine to now be into that type of music, but that was an iconic showing by some of the biggest Icons in not only hip hop history, but music history. You wont likely ever see a collection of this many iconic people on a SB halftime stage. I mean even Eminems band had Anderson Paak on the drums and the Roots. It was crazy. No one type of music, no artist, etc is ever going to make everyone happy. Dont see the need to hate on it because you don't like hip hop or R&B.

dpberr Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I gave it an "ok" although I enjoy all of these artists - Dre, the most, Lamar the least. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I’ll see results on LI… As for the relevance question, those artists have sold about a billion records and not only influenced, but driven culture for 30+ years from right there in SoCal. The game was *in Inglewood* and people don’t get why Metallica wasn’t playing? 🤔 That show was like classic hip-hop! If they had some of the new kids up there, people would really lose their minds… 🤣 Heitz if the NFL even dared to allow these new popular artists like Megan Lee Stallion and her ilk on the stage it would be like an ***** of over exploited genitalia and Boobs OUT..I agree with the bolded 100% ...I doubt the NFL wants to go in THAT direction...I think the general public would hate it, A Lot of comments last night were regarding the overblown Over the top Over Glitz that was the intro to the game......I mean I understand that one persons fav music is another persons can't stand...thats a given ....but we are/were bombarded with Flash Bang Boom..people I think want more nuance, substance, fresh ideas. anyway again just a few thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there and that was my point - people are like "Oh there's rap in the halftime show, so awful!", yeah, like Classic Rap at this point. 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 Edited February 14, 2022 by Heitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
