Just today, the long-warmed-up blockbuster Super Bowl halftime show was finally broadcast, and it can be said that this performance has satisfied the appetite of hiphop fans, and the guest lineup alone is epic: Dr. Dre、Snoop Dogg、50 Cent、Eminem、Mary J. Blige & Kendrick Lamar。
The Super Bowl is an annual championship game in the NFL, generally held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February each year, with participating teams as the NFL champions of the season as well as the National Football Federation championships.
The Super Bowl has been the nation's highest-rated television show for years and has gradually become an unofficial national holiday in the United States. In general, the mid-holidays of sports matches are danced by beautiful cheerleaders, but the Super Bowl halftime show invites many big-name celebrities to perform, so it has become one of the top events of the year in the pop culture world.
The Super Bowl halftime show was clearly led by Dr. Dre, and the singers on the same stage were all superstars hand-pulled by Dr. Dre, and Dr. Dre participated in the largest proportion of the entire performance.
The opening scene begins with "The Next Episode," the "Hip Hop Bible" sung by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, and the transition song inserts Snoop Dogg's masterpiece Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang.
The duo then sang Dr. Dre and 2Pac's classic song "California Love", which also evoked the memories of many hiphop fans.
Then the two were followed by "In Da Club" brought by 50 Cent, also as a personal masterpiece, and 50 Cent even brought the same "upside down" singing as in the MV.
Although many people now think that 50 Cent has lagged behind this era, no one can deny that in the early 21st century, 50 Cent had near-domination in the hip-hop circle, and each of his songs could become a hit.
The middle transition is the classic skewers brought by R&B diva Mary J. Blige. And the transition also seems to hint at the alternation of old and new, with Dr. Dre, the leader of the old era on the West Coast, handing over the baton to New York's new king, Kendrick Lamar.
With dr. Dre's help, Kendrick Lamar became almost the most brilliant rapper of his time, at the peak of his form.
Kendrick Lamar also brought the Pulitzer Prize-winning song "Alright" this time, performed "M.A.A.D. City" as a guide, and used Kendrick Lamar's best tactics of the sea of people, Kendrick Lamar's control of the stage was vividly demonstrated.
Of course, everyone's eyes are on Eminem, and Eminem, who is "Rap God", has once again performed "Lose Yourself", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Eminem entered by the elevator and sang the song "Forget About Dre" dedicated to Dr. Dre, and connected with the song "Lose Yourself", and more interestingly, the drummer next to Eminem was also the famous singer Anderson Paak.
It is also worth mentioning that Eminem made a one-knee move after the performance, which is also suspected of responding to the current prevailing police brutality and racial discrimination.
The crowd ended with Dr. Dre's and Snoop Dogg's collaborative song "Still D.R.E.", and Snoop Dogg also danced cheerfully.
Looking back at this performance show, although the lineup is epic, the actual effect presented is still not amazing, one is because the songs sung are all classic songs, which can drive the audience but lack surprises, and secondly, because the stadium venue is very vast, resulting in the reception can not be so perfect, from the sound point of view, it is not even done well on the Grammy stage.
Of course, this time can let six legendary singers perform on the same stage, which is of great significance, but unfortunately, somehow, 2Pac did not appear in the rumored holographic projection method, and I hope that there will be a chance to reproduce the figure of 2Pac in the future.
Finally, what is more interesting is that after the broadcast of this performance, the stem of "not as good as Jiang Yunsheng" was once again brushed on the hot. I also hope that domestic listeners can work less and pay more attention to better music.
