Hip-Hop Icons; Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Lamar, Vows To Open Doors At Super Bowl 2022 Halftime Show

This year’s Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show will feature musical icons that we all long to see on stage.

Hip-hop legends Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar are set to perform during halftime of the big game at SoFi Stadium.

“To keep it all the way real, who else could do this show here in LA?” Dr. Dre said during a news conference on Thursday at the LA Convention Center. “Who else could perform the halftime show, other than these amazing artists that we put together?”

The five musical artists have combined 43 Grammys and 19 No. 1 Billboard albums.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg said Sunday’s show would create opportunities for the NFL and hip hop to further collaborate in the future. Dr.Dre vowed that their Super Bowl halftime show would create more opportunities for the genre.

“We’re going to open more doors for hip-hop artists in the future and making sure that the NFL understands that this is what it should have been a long time ago,” Dre said at a moderated appearance the trio made Thursday without their Sunday co-headliners Kendrick Lamar and Eminem.

“It’s crazy that it took all of this time for us to be recognized,” Dre said. “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, Snoop Dogg, and Lamar are Los Angeles-area natives. Blige is known as the queen of hip hop and soul, and Eminem is among the best lyricists of all time.

 

The five music icons will perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Lamar are Southern California natives. Snoop Dogg called it a “great moment” that combined “the biggest sporting event in the world” with hip-hop, “the biggest form of music in the world.”

“We appreciate the NFL for even entertaining hip-hop because we know a lot of people that don’t want hip-hop onstage,” he said. “But we’re here now and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
