Super Bowl halftime show has made history as six performers took to the stage in the event’s first-ever hip-hop performance.
Igniting the stage during the Sunday event’s halftime show were veteran performers including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent.
The six performers, who have a combined net worth of nearly $1 billion and a combined age of 286 years, appeared on stage side by side as they entertained the crowd with popular hits including Dre’s Still D.R.E., Eminem’s Lose Yourself, and Blige’s Family Affair.
“It’s crazy that it took all of this time for us to be recognized. I think we’re going to do a fantastic job. We’re going to do it so big that they can’t deny us anymore in the future,” Dr. Dre, the wealthiest of the six performers, said ahead of the first-ever Super Bowl hip-hop show.
After the performance, the act appeared to be received well on social media where viewers praised the entertainers and the Super Bowl as a whole.
“I’ve never felt cooler in my entire life than I do right now while watching this #SuperBowl half time show and singing all the lyrics and my kids looking at me like I’m some sort of rap god!” one person wrote.
“That was the greatest Super Bowl half time show. If you were born in the 80s and early 90s, this one was for your childhood. Music was just different back in those days. And better,” another said.
Journalist John Heilemann wrote: “Easily — and I mean EASILY, without breaking a single drop of sweat — one of the greatest @SuperBowl half-time shows of all time. And arguably the greatest, tho I need some time to process … and refresh my memory.”
Meanwhile, clearly impressed by the performance, another satisfied viewer said: “And it was right about then, watching Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Dr. Dre on stage at the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, that a wave of nostalgia washed over me and I realized that finally, I was old.”
