Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, And Kendrick Lamar Bring Hip-Hop To Super Bowl LVI

February 14, 2022

Hip-Hop made its mark on the history of Super Bowl halftime shows. The highly-anticipated performance came to reality on Sunday night (Feb.13) at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium as the L.A. Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals played for the NFL championship title.

On a massive all-white set featuring notable monuments and places from the City of Angeles, Dr. Dre kicked off the nostalgic night in front of a soundboard and introduced Snoop Dogg. After Snoop appeared atop one of the buildings in a blue-printed fit, the two stars went right into their respective verses from Dre’s 2001 hit, “The Next Episode” and transitioned into Tupac’s West Coast classic, “California Love.”

50 Cent made a surprise appearance and took us back with his 2003 single, “In Da Club.” After starting his performance upside down (just like in the song’s music video), Fif turned right side up in a white sweatband and tank top as he delivered a one-song performance in a ladies-laden set of dancers.

Shortly after, Mary J. Blige appeared in an all-white, silver-accented outfit and knee-high boots custom-designed by Peter Dundas. With backup dancers scattered around the stage, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul kept the energy up with her 2001 record “Family Affair.” In true Mary fashion, she slowed things down with her single, “No More Drama.”

The Los Angeles love and crip walkin’ were at an all-time high for the last number, Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.” All of the acts came together at the top of the white stage to close out their nearly 14-minute halftime show.

You can watch the halftime show (executive produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment) on the NFL’s official YouTube channel.
