#4: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar
It’s official—California really does know how to party. For the first time ever, hip-hop took center stage at the Super Bowl, and Dr. Dre delivered a West Coast rap masterclass. Snoop Dogg joined him for a swagger-filled “California Love”, while Mary J. Blige, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, shut down all hateration and holleration with “Family Affair.”
Kendrick Lamar—who honestly deserves his own halftime show—brought the fire with “Alright.” But the standout moment? Eminem taking a knee after “Lose Yourself”, standing in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and defying the NFL censors. Bonus: Anderson .Paak killing it on drums.
