Yo, Real HIPHOP ice cool, here is the most talkative of the NFL's veteran driver newsroom.
Family, I believe that everyone was stunned to see this halftime show lineup before, the five guests are all real big guys, rap mogul Dr. Dre, Mye Eminem, Dog Grandpa Snoop Dogg, Lama Kendrick Lamar and bitter mother Mary J. Blige, casually carry a single out are ceiling-level characters, not to mention five people on the same stage?!
For post-8090 hip-hop fans, this lineup is enough to make DNA riot, so tell you, the five grandfathers have won a total of 43 Grammys, 22 championship singles, their achievements and awards, as well as their influence in the world, are beyond the reach of words. If hip-hop had Hall of Fame, these would have been hally figures long ago.
For these five people, the NFL also relaxed the requirements for the halftime show, and the general performance was only 11 minutes, but this time the organizers gave 13 minutes. But for 5 superstars, it's still too short. According to Dre, because of the lack of time, everyone went directly to the hot song, the strongest hot song! Everyone was happy and excited about the final choice of song list.
Here, Xiaobian predicts which songs will be sung in this Super Bowl, and what kind of process and sequence.
Track 1: "The Next Episode"
Cigars, gold chains, sunglasses, crowns, divine comedies... There is no doubt that whether in the age of the physical or the age of downloads, whether in Spotify or Tick Tock, whether in YouTube or Bilibili, The Next Episode has repeatedly proven its unparalleled influence.
Hearing this song, your "DNA moves", the Thug Life behind it has been written into everyone's soul, you may not be able to call "The Next Episode", but you can hear the familiar melody can shake up, so it is most appropriate to use it as the opening song of the Super Bowl.
Second track: "Still D.R.E."
In the Super Bowl halftime show trailer, the song was put in the climactic position, and I thought it would be the key track of Dr. Dre and Dog. Along with Lauryn Hill's classic piano Riff, a tale of blood and tears that takes place at the Super Bowl begins (brain-to-brain): West Coast mogul Dr. Dre, after a comprehensive reconciliation on the East and West coasts, negotiated with East Coast figures represented by Jay-Z and others, at which point Dr. Dr. Dre was on set to challenge fledgling Jay-Z, "Right now, write a song to pay tribute to me." So Jay-Z went to the bathroom alone for more than 30 minutes, and finally the song called "Still D.R.E." came out.
There's another reason for this, now that the super bowl's chief producer, the venue has come to California to re-present Dr. Dre pays homage to "Still D.R.E.", as Jay-Z's masterpiece, is also bound to be sung.
Track 3: "Family Affair"
Dr. Dre is hard, but not unreasonable, and as a gift to the East Coast, it's time to sing Family Affair. The song is Dr. Dre produced for Mary J. Blige and later not only became Mary J. Blige's first number one single, but also fulfilled the oath of No More Drama.
This is the second time That Mary J. Blige has been in the Super Bowl, and 22 years ago he had sent millennial blessings with Britney and Superboy, but Mary J. Blige didn't sing her own songs at the time, and this year she will tell the world who is the real black female emperor!
Fourth Track: "The Message"
"The Message" just exploded, and the scene needed a relaxation. At this time, "The Message", which had a cooperation on the 2001 album, was undoubtedly the best choice. Briefly, this song is Dr. Dre's touching comedy, produced in memory of his brother who was shot, was performed by East Coast producer Lord Finesse and sung in the harmony section by Mary J. Blige. If this year's Super Bowl refers to "Rush out of Compton", then this song is even more necessary, in addition to which it can also fully show Mary J. Blige's sad vocal qualities.
Fifth: "I Need a Doctor"
Brothers are almost as high as Dr. Dre's apprentice Eminem has been seamless. The editor is more inclined to use the plot of "I Need a Doctor" in the stage design, at this time, Dr. Dre temporarily leaves the scene, and the bitter woman comes to sing the part of Skylar Grey, and then leads to the psychopath Eminem.
Track Six: "The Real Slim Shady + Rap God"
A mixture of two songs, why is it designed this way? We see the names Eminem and Slim Shady appear in the trailer, which hints at the traditional drama of split personalities, so it should be the two personalities of each other's Cypher, and finally Mu Ye becomes "Rap God" and directly flies away, which leads to the lama's "Be Humble Sit Down".
Track Seven: HUMBLE. 》
The plot progresses very smoothly, and after Rap God flies away, it is Kendrick Lamar's turn to play. On the other hand, this is partly an affirmation and elevation of Kendrick Lamar's status in recent years, and considering that he will release a new album this year, this super shocking way of promoting is also reasonable. But with both sides to it, is Rap God willing to make wedding dresses for others?
Track Eight: "Compton"
Although Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre has a good relationship, but there is really not much cooperation. Therefore, Compton, which the two sides worked together on The Lama's "good Kid, M.A.A.d City," could make it to the Super Bowl. The song was dr. Dre personally created Kendrick Lamar's canonization as the "King of the New West Coast", which is also a great demonstration of hip-hop cultural heritage, and Kendrick Lamar, who was also born in Compton, made Dr. Dre developed this long-lost sense of familiarity. Also because of Dr. Dre's promotion will have Kendrick Lamar fly high in the future, and now it is a classic at the Super Bowl, which is of great significance.
Track Nine: Nuthin' But A "G" Thang
In the closing stage, Dr. Dre will open his own canonization ceremony. "Nuthin' But A "G" Thang, as a vital bible in the history of hip-hop development, ranked 29th in the latest version of the Rolling Stone 500 single, and if it can be sung on a stage like the Super Bowl, it will be like a god, showing the orthodox gang culture, West Coast culture, and G-Funk culture to the world. I privately think that as an old OG, isn't this also the real thing Jay-Z really did for hip-hop music after taking over the hand show?
Song 10: "California Love"
Ending with California Love is clever and the only option, satisfying both the innate conditions of geography and the purpose of promoting West Coast hip-hop culture. Xiaobian boldly guessed that the scene would use the projection method to "resurrect" 2Pac and become a classic in the history of the Super Bowl.
In addition, "California Love" can be called a masterpiece of hip-hop history, the avant-garde Talk Box production effect in the song promoted the invention of Auto-Tune, and the debut of Daft Punk; the development and inheritance of Gangster Rap also played a vital role in the current Drill and Trap; and the depiction of "Mad Max" in the MV integrated this decadent desert culture and the collapse of the doomsday plot. It is also enlightening the current situation in the United States.
The late 1980s and mid-1990s were the heyday of rap music, known as hip hop Golden Age, and now the dazzling light of this golden age is finally going to shine on the faces of young people, learn about the glorious history, and perhaps once again ignite the long-extinguished flame of hope.
Thunder sister Lana Del Rey has suggested that California is the key to saving everything, and the 56th Super Bowl really came to California, which may be a harbinger. I hope that the world in the midst of the epidemic can survive in a desperate situation, bottom out, usher in new progress with the spirit of hip-hop, and create the glory of the new era!
