Taken from Dr. Dre’s 1999 album2001, “The Next Episode” originally featured Kurupt and the late Nate Dogg. The track served as a sequel to Dr. Dre and Snoop’s “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” 1992’s The Chronic and peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Following “The Next Episode,” Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggflawlessly transitioned into 1995 Tupac Shakur single “California Love” featuring Nate Dogg and Roger Troutman from Zapp and Roger. The lyrics only required a slight adjustment when Dre said he’s been in the rap game for “30 years” instead of “for 10 years” like he rapped in the original version.
Rumors 50 Cent was going to show up during the Pepsi Halftime Show hit the internet last week and sure enough, the Powermogul was on deck to perform his 2003 mega-hit “In Da Club.” Performing upside down as a gaggle of dancers pranced around him, 50 Cent was able to get the crowd amped up right before Mary J. Blige took her turn.
As predicted, Mary J. Blige performed the 2001 classic “Family Affair,” which was co-produced by Dr. Dre. Taken from the No More Dramaalbum, Blige’s fifth studio effort, the song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
With notes of Tears For Fears’ “Head Over Heels” lingering in the background, Mary J. Bligethen performed “No More Drama” from the 2001 album of the same name. The track peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of its release and No. 9 in the U.K.
Kendrick Lamarwas up next and did a few seconds of 2012’s “m.A.A.d City,” which originally featured Compton’s Most Wanted rapper MC Eiht. Surrounded by dozens of male dancers wearing “Dre Day” sashes, K. Dot delivered his verses before quickly moving on to “Alright.”
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance was primarily dedicated to “Alright” from 2015’s To Pimp A Butterfly. The track received four nominations at the 58th Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. It wound up winning in the latter two categories.
Eminem briefly revisited the 1999 hit “Forgot About Dre” as he first hit the stage. The song arrived in 1999 as part of the2001album and peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
Unsurprisingly, Eminem also performed the Oscar-winning single “Lose Yourself” from the 20028 Milesoundtrack. The lyrics of the song perfectly lined up with the momentous occasion as Eminem rapped, “You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow/This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.” The song served as Slim Shady’s first No. 1 single o...
While Dr. Dre didn’t play much of the song, the veteran maestro sat down at the white baby grand piano to rattle off a few notes from the 1996 2Pac single “I Ain’t Mad At Cha” from All Eyez On Me, the late Hip Hop legend’s fourth and final album while he was alive. At the same time, Eminemtook a knee in honor of Colin Kaepernick’s fight for equalit...
