The Super Bowl LVI halftime show never disappoints, and this year’s performance was as unforgettable as it gets. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige took the stage to deliver an amazing show that celebrates old-school hip-hop in its full glory.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg kicked things off with their collaboration “The Next Episode” before delivering an epic cover of 2Pac’s “California Love”. They were followed by the guest performer 50 Cent, who gave us one of the show’s biggest viral moments with his song “In Da Club”.

Mary J. Blige was one of the show’s shiniest stars, and her performance of “Family Affair” and “No More Drama” was one for the books. She was followed by Kendrick Lamar, who represented the new generation of hip-hop with his songs “M.A.A.D City” and “Alright”.

Lamar joined Eminem as he entered the stage to perform “Forgot About Dre”. The most talked-about moment of the entire show came during Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” and he ended up taking the knee at the end of his performance. The five headliners then closed the show with a joint rendition of “Still D.R.E.”

The Super Bowl LVI took place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on February 13th, with the Los Angeles Rams being crowned as the winners.
