So estimates Dr. Dre the Superbowl 2022 halftime show

The 56th Super Bowl halftime show was one for the history books: Featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and surprise guest 50 Cent brought some of the most popular rappers of all time to the stage at Inglewood. Both the social media and the feuilletons were full of praise – for the first time in the history of the football final, the halftime show was carried by the music genre hip-hop.

Everyone felt the “size of this thing”.

Now Dr. dr in an interview spoke to the US tabloid portal “TMZ”. All in all, he found words of praise for the hip-hop revue: the production of the show was very “professional” and everyone involved felt the “size of this thing”. Overall, the rap mogul called the halftime show an “amazing experience.”

Inglewood’s kneeling was planned

Of Eminem’s much-discussed kneeling, the 56-year-old said: “It was Em who did it on his own and there was no problem with it.” After the anti-racist gesture, there was speculation as to whether the National Football League had been informed beforehand. Both the NFL itself and Dr. Dre have now confirmed that in retrospect.

Minor restrictions are of little consequence

According to the founder of G-Funk, only a few “little things” had to be adjusted in advance. For example, at the beginning of his song “mAAd city” in the original version, Kendrick Lamar names two rival West Coast gangs: “If Pirus and Crips all got along”. That passage was deleted by those responsible. In the performance of “Alright” that followed, instead of using “po-po” to articulate a synonym for police, Lamar paused.

An insider also revealed the site ,,Puck”that dr. Dre is said to have been asked in advance to drop his line “Still fucking with the beats, still not loving police” from his song “still DRE”. The artist rejected this request, but made a compromise: the line remained, but the swear word was dropped.
