This Super Bowl halftime show was legendary, something that will be talked about for years to come. People of all ages brought together by some of the biggest influencers in hip hop. Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent just to name a few. They performed many iconic hip-hop songs, such as Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”, and Dr Dre’s “Still D.R.E”. Songs such as these definitely got people grooving. Many well known celebrities were shown dancing along, such as Jay-Z and Beyonce.
These artists really got the crowd going and spoke to the people, which is what made this Halftime Show so great. This quote was from a musician a generation above me.
“I personally thought that in a genre when they could have taken it way over the top on a production level, reaching for the heights of spectacle, they chose to keep it about the music and its origins. The streets of California. Maybe not your streets, but most definitely and unapologetically theirs. The songs and lyrics stood on their own and Dr. DRE’s almost unmasked Wizard Of Oz presence was clear. He’s behind all this music in one way or another.” – Pat McGee
