I guess it works tho since NFL and rap fans tend to be simpletons.

I was a bit disappointed ngl. It was good but overhyped. For me Snoop Dogg was everything.

Notable Past/present East Coast- 50 Cent, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, JAY-Z, DMX, LL Cool J, Biggie, Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs (created a hip hop empire with label Bad Boy Records)  

I'm sure I left some out, that’s who comes to mind though. 

 

Thank you so much! I obviously know Sean Combs (honestly, I'd rather call him by his real name because I never know what his last stage name is at this point, so messy) and JAY-Z, and LL Cool J and 50 Cent, I heard about Biggie (he's referenced EVERYWHERE), DMX rings a bell (maybe I heard him with Limp Bizkit? And maybe alongside Busta? which I love btw). I don't know much about Nas but I know he's a legend, plus I love his voice.

Maybe I should start googling info about some rappers I know to learn where they are from... Their style seems to be very different depending on where they come from, I never thought about that before...

[bitbitboi]

What is going on, is it just me or Dr. Dre is SUPER s e x y?! That beefy bod, the gorgeous skin and face, I'm here all blushing like a teenager what...

[Brat]

Mary been going through Jlo’s closet 

[Busybee]

Some of yall just don't like hip hop and that's okay but yall can't deny these men and mary are ******* history. They are all still relevant decades later, they are important for the culture, they have done things for the industry and their communities and especially because the NFL is known for not acknowledging the troubling brutality of black people and police with the whole Kapernick thing...hip hop  specifically artist who are known for saying "**** the police"was definitely needed and all yall want is a pop bop .

 

Plus like someone else said the fans who pay for these tickets are generally not into pop girlie. We needed a change. We've been giving it to the pop girls/guys for the past few years

The line up was amazing. The song choices were perfect and brought me back to my teen years. 
kendrick and 50 did not need to be there. 
I was so disappointed Eminem only sang one song. 
I enjoyed it tho! 

[DignifiedLove]

It was amazing and the most I have ever been excited for a Half Time Show. Hello? Dr. Dre The GODFATHER of production. THEE Eminem. Kendrick. 50. Queen Mary. King Snoop. I was literally shaking when it came on. Literal chills. They blasted the speakers on all the TVs at the bar/restaurant I was at and everyone was just vibing/singing/rapping. A MOMENT. Nobody does it like LA!!!! 💙💛

I'm sorry but rap isn't particularly a genre that anyone would think of when we hear "SHOW" or "ENTERTAINMENT"

Having a bunch of rappers from 20 years ago flapping their arms like a broody hen is just boring AF in such a big venue, no matter how many dancer they have.

I'm just going to watch this gem instead and pretend this flop didn't happen:

 

We can’t have pop girls every year. This year was totally different. This halftime show was for millennials. 
Just say you don’t like rap/hip hop next time.

He’s from the UK, Australia or some random European country I presume. If he is Hispanic however, then I’m not sure why he’s so up in arms over Hip-Hop since it’s also pretty big in Latin American countries. Anyways, they have no taste as per usual and are very close minded when it comes to other genres of music. Ignore that person and their tone-deaf comments. Let them stream Kim Petras instead.

I see your point but I think it's a lack of understanding of the crowds that are NFL fans. That is why I think half time shows such as Katy Perry were somewhat out of place. Katy Perry is not exactly someone I see being followed by football fans. Also, hip hop is key to American culture. A hip hop show outside of the USA in, let's say, the World Cup would be a huge flop, but I think this worked because many of the hardcore fans are not exactly into choreographed dances. I agree that the one you posted was pretty good, but it was a different kind of entertainment. I actually think some of the songs performed on yesterday's show were bigger hits than  the majority of Jlo's selection. Shakira def has global appeal and major hits and I liked their show, I am just pointing out.that they went a different route with this last one and in my opinion, it worked.

I completely agree with this. I myself am an NFL fan and love hip-hop so it worked. 

[AndyFoster]

I surprisingly loved it. Not my sort of music, but I could tell just how much the crowd loved it too! 

[MasterMindz]

Rolling Stone ranked it fourth after Prince, U2, and Beyonce: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-lists/super-bowl-halftime-shows-ranked-from-worst-to-best-14201/prince-2007-228422/

side note: Aerosmith with Britney is 5th, Shakira/JayLo 6th, Madonna 8th, Gaga 9th, and Katy 11th.

I really enjoyed it, it was something different and very well thought. I loved the intro scene, very well done!

Rap/hip-hop is truly an American acquired taste. I live overseas so I not only dont like it, I dont care about it or understand it.

Stan Twitter are constantly complaining saying 'it should have been a popstar!!!' Pop isn't the only music genre and the Superbowl halftime has had rock bands/musicians headline before.... I love pop music first and foremost, but I'm also a big Eminem fan (one of the few rappers whose discography I actively listen to), but I also respect Dre, Snoop, 50 and Kendrick for being some of the most influential rappers. It was great to see them all come together for the halftime, just wish it could have been longer.

Its was really goood!

I said what I said. it’s self evident. It’s the type of ppl who are satisfied watching people throw a ball in a rigged sports league and old tubby men lip sync to rhythmic talking. SIMPLE stuff they can comprehend. And don’t forget those precious ‘member berries.

if they wanted hip hop get Doja cat since she has actual talent and performance skills

I respect your opinion. However I disagree that hip hop is an American acquired taste. 
It’s one of the most popular genres everywhere in the world. 

Most of Europe loves and listens to hip hop. Heck the Uk has their own sub genre of hip hop - UK trap. Latin countries are literally known for their hip hop roots and genres. 

So it’s great that you are not a fan, but to say it’s a cultural/geographical situation is not true. Most countries have their own versions of it. I know a lot of Eastern European rappers.
