Possibly you watched Tremendous Bowl LVI to see the Rams tackle the Bengals. Possibly it was as a result of it was being hosted in Inglewood’s shiny new SoFi Stadium. Or perhaps you have been simply in it for the commercials and halftime present—and the latter definitely didn’t disappoint this 12 months.
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak (who could possibly be noticed taking part in drums) led the halftime present on a really Compton-inspired set at SoFi Stadium. (We’ve included a video of the efficiency on the backside of the story.)
A recreation of the late-modern Martin Luther King Jr. memorial at Compton Metropolis Corridor anchored one finish of the white block of buildings, with the Compton Courthouse on the opposite finish and a avenue scene in between of native retailers lined by lowriders. You may spot some notable native eating places, too: an indication for Tam’s Burgers, plus a digital window with Dale’s Donuts seen (to not be confused with Randy’s, although each doughnut-topped spots descend from the defunct Massive Donut Drive-In chain). Additionally noticed: a marquee for Eve After Darkish, seemingly impressed by the close by ’70s membership.
Musically, it was fairly heavy on turn-of-the-millennium hits. Dr. Dre rose up from a fake house studio at an all-white mixing board for performances of “Subsequent Episode” and “California Love” with Snoop Dogg. 50 Cent unfurled from the ceiling—similar to within the music video—for “In Da Membership.” Mary J. Blige received crunk up on the roof of the set for “Household Affair” adopted by “No Extra Drama.” Subsequent up was Kendrick Lamar, performing “m.A.A.d. Metropolis” and “Alright” on prime of an illuminated map of the town. Then Eminem busted out of the courthouse constructing for only a tease of “Forgot About Dre” earlier than launching into “Lose Your self.” Lastly, Dre took to the piano to for the opening of “Nonetheless D.R.E.” earlier than wrapping up the present with the remainder of the lineup.
