I wanted more too so I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
I love how Jon isn’t afraid to show his emotions. He’s a real reactor in my eyes for that. This was a Huge moment not just for hip hop but for the old school artist.
I like how MJB dancers stomped upstairs and 50’s dancers “In the Club” Stomped back twice and looked up….transition to MJB’s performance. All the transitions and the set was magic. Amazing. Great organic reaction.
You'll like this because I wanted more 2Pac as well, I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
Was never into Mary J much but she slayed. I felt every bit she put into that. She sang it like it was her final performance. This is by far the best halftime show I have ever seen
This performance was off the hook! It was great seeing Anderson.Paak on the drums. The instrumental arrangement for Eminem song was perfection. Kendrick, you go! Would had loved Anderson and Kendrick performing "Tints'". Dr. Dre, Mary J., Snoop Dog held their own! Hip Hop/Rap is alive and strong! Thanks for the reaction.
Yeah, It was also so well put together I had trouble distinguishing what was prerecorded and what was live. I was kind of sad that Anderson.Paak didn't get to play live (Not only is it out of sync but also the snare sound is not even a real snare) but I still think it was an amazing show.
This is probably the best concert ever made all Performances were great and all the transitions are so creative I had a big smile on my face seeing so many stages of Hiphop history brings back so many good memories
Were the transitions that creative though? They kinda stopped the song and went to the next one. The transition from 50 to Mary was super clunky. It wasn’t as seamless as say, Beyoncé, which was more creative imo.
This was especially amazing to me because I’m from LA and grew up with these songs and the set they had was nostalgic because of the house with the barred up windows, low riders , and the iconic Tams Burger it was incredible
For decades to come? I don’t think so, it was an ok performance and I don’t see how people were blown away by it… weekend had much better halftime show.

I don’t think there’s a better rapper ever than Snoop at breath control and composure on the mic. It’s even more evident when he’s paired with Kendrick and Em here (2 of the greatest rappers ever). Whether it’s the studio or live version, I’ve never heard anyone make rapping sound so effortless.

It’s hard to believe almost 20 years after The Chronic was released Snoop Dogg is Crip walking during the Halftime Show of the Super Bowl. I remember when they tried to ban Gangsta rap. Lovin It, all dizzah
I don't understand why there are so many people confusing The Chronic (debut album of 1992) with The Chronic 2001 Dr. Dre's second studio album. Google is our friend.
They all performed Soo well BUT Kendrick was outstanding...he gave his Heart and Soul...the Choreography was on point...but overall all performed sooo well...totally loved the Legends
I think the end has to be my favorite when they’re all at the top together and the crowd is just going absolutely insane. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a crowd that loud before.
Jon trust me, almost EVERYBODY loved it even us youngins! Just hear that stadium it says enough. This is legendary, especially the way 50 Cent came in upside down😂😂
Greatest halftime performance of my lifetime . Just unbelievable . So glad we all go to see Dre perform with the artists he basically made . Especially after he was in the hospital and all that. Worry we’ll lose him before we know it and this will be there forever to come back to. Just amazing performance
Rappers in the halftime show will become a staple. The stage presence and captivity all of them drew was incredible. It’s a shame we’re just now getting the first rap performance at the Super Bowl, its been overdue
A lot of rappers actually lack the creativity, charisma, showmanship, and stagecraft to deliver immaculate Super Bowl halftime shows solo. Some rappers do, most don’t. The rappers in the industry who genuinely excel in stagecraft are few and far between... Rappers like Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Eminem, Childish Gambino, Tyler the Creator are outliers, not the norm.
@@CheeseyMilkshakes this is the inconvenient truth, and I’ve literally been to HUNDREDS of rap shows and festivals . Where’s the rapper with the showmanship of a Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury? Kanye West is certainly in that club? I think he should headline the next SuperBowl. A lot of legends excel at performing, but when we’re talking rappers under age 35 it’s much slimmer pickings. My list of rappers that perform with high enough levels of creativity, stagecraft and showmanship to pull off a top-10-ranking SuperBowl halftime show AND have the hits and the mass multi-generational appeal to fill it out? That IS NOT a long list my guy. And I’m singling out male rappers specifically because the *top female rappers* have pop crossover appeal and are way more polished than their male counterparts, often singing, rapping and dancing and with great staging in full glam. They don’t turn up in jeans and a hoodie.
@@LegendaryMamba24 you’re completely right, I’m being biased against *male* rappers, I should clarify that, bc the top female rap acts would understand they need to give more: They’ll rap, sing, dance choreography, have eye catching costume design. The amount of times I’ve seen a male rapper rock up to the show in jeans and hoodie and just jump around aimlessly…it’s the bare minimum. And that just doesn’t cut it for the SuperBowl. Even King Eminem wore jeans and a hoodie to the SuperBowl, whereas other Super Bowl acts would have some custom made stage show outfits with multiple costume changes for their set. Rappers just don’t make that same kind of commitment to their performances. Some do. Most don’t. Just admit the standard for showmanship and stagecraft among (male) rappers is low. It’s actually so low that the the rappers who DO make the extra effort stand out and shine bright.
I’m from Compton, Cali, I’ve been here all my life and seeing the city shine like this in a POSITIVE way is just something SPECIAL!!! The stage are landmarks of the city. Eminem pops out of “Compton Court House” it’s on Compton Blvd!! Tams is basically the hood McDonalds or Burger King!! It’s on Rosecrans & Central “Eve After Dark” is the club where Dr. Dre started at. It’s on Avalon Blvd & El Segundo!!
So good to see Dr Dre doing well after his brain aneurysm. Snoop Dogg btw.. what an icon, grandparents AND kids today know who that man is, talk about longevity.
Performance was so cool they included so many landmarks in the Compton/LBC area such as the compton courthouse and TAMS. Loved the details in the performance
Such an incredible performance, I’ve been watching it over and over. It felt so good finally seeing hip-hop take center stage at the halftime show. This is what Atlanta’s should’ve been like.
Absolutely legendary! So many incredible moments from so many incredible artists. I've been fortunate enough to be a huge fan of hip hop since the 80s and to see this is a huge milestone in its evolution and a great sign of how healthy and vibrant it still is as an art form and part of the culture. For me, that little piano riff from I Ain't Mad At Ya hit hardest out of the whole show. That was visceral and timely and unexpected. But I absolutely loved it all, start to finish.
I'm 21 in rural Netherlands and I know a ton of people that fuck with this. Young people everywhere grew up listening to Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent and Snoop
ahh what a moment to witness at 2022 for us 80s babies 90s kids. Memories. And Kendrick the definition of Art wow just wow. Hope they do a tour with this. I need more. here for it!!!!
Such a big moment in hip hop history. Having Dre, one of the creators of Fuck the Police, standing on a map of Compton performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in LA! Wow. AND 50 was upside down in da club. insanity
I grow up with all the legends.So many memories comes up. Mary j Blige the queen of hip hop. And Eminem incredible, reminds me 8 mile. Snoop doggy dog also incredible. He's not getting older..everyone at home and directly there could feel all these amazing songs.. The whole show was so amazing!
I won’t lie I watch this super bowl and listen in the car at least 10 times a day. Born 1980. Stan since 99. Up in smoke tour watched a million times. I shed a few tears as life seemed so much easier then ❤️🇮🇪
I cried to lol so I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
I was back as kid in high school, that just listened to the chronic album for the first time. It was like an emotional tidal wave. Mary J was lit. They all were. I've been looping this for hours and days. Dre gave us the best west coast halftime EVER. Any coast:)
I read somewhere that Snoop was told to do nothing gang related. shows up with his outfit as a whole bandana reppin blue and then crip walks the whole show. legendary lmao
This had so much nostalgia for me! I was still a little kid(about 6-7) when all this music came out and this performance took me straight to my childhood
I thank the Lord Jesus I lived this long through COVID and car accidents on the way to work to see this Half Time Show performance. Dear Lord, what a speacial moment. Thank you JD for sharing this reaction with us.
The halftime show was a treat for a massive hip hop fan like me to watch. My hope is that eventually Up in Smoke II will become a reality and a worldwide tour happens. I would pay any amount to see this!
Legendary indeed! Hip-hop has such a long history! From never been given right on radio stations to now performing on one of the largest stages ever !!! This is amazing in terms of musicology
Your easter eggs, the board on the stage features 50 Cent.. but no one noticed it, my theory is that the "Eve After Dark" could be a homage to Eve, a rapper who had Dre's help a little when she started.. Also this performance won 2 Emmy awards (it being the first show to win) + it's reached 168 million views in 1 year lol... you looked like you had a blast listening/watching this - it's possibly the greatest show they've ever had ! Also, I feel the chose the right song for Em to sing - "One shot do not miss your moment to blow.." great vibe for the teams for sure !
I’m from LA, the week leading up to the Super Bowl was crazy lol. It’s almost everyone was solely looking forward for the halftime show instead of the game itself. All the major radio stations here were playing music of every artist headlining 😂
I worked on this show (lighting engineer) and it was the BEST show I’ve done… (and set is a mock up of Tam’s burgers in Compton) thru lines everywhere. 😉
This half-time show now goes down in history as the greatest ever. Before today it was Bey. This is epic, iconic and nostalgic and see the smile on your face, I can feel the appreciation. 💯 mad for people 35+ that remember this incredible era
Did anybody ever point out or notice that at the very end the dancers were doing a synchronized cryp walk! 😆 Lol and the NFL told Snoop Dogg that he couldn’t wear a black bandanna in his back pocket to represent the Crips. So what did he do? He wore the whole damn colors as his outfit! And cryp walked too lol. They told Eminem not to take a knee, what did Eminem do he took a knee lol. They didn’t listen to shit! They were like nope. We’re gonna do what we are going to do lol. And Snoop Dogg is the only person I know who can literally smoke a blunt in your face during an interview and at the same time be best friends with Martha Stewart. Kendricks performance was insane. The way that he moves, I loved his moves and he chose the right song, he looked so fly, he was amazing. It was like watching a concert. And they were so synchronized. The whole thing was a damn concert! And 50 Cent as a surprise performance was sold out. And FYI Eminem caught half of his performance just so that 50 Cent could perform. And another fun fact, Jay Z put this together and Dr. Dre paid money out of his own pocket to make this happen.
What an amazing time to be alive. This show was iconic and will be remembered for a long time! So nostalgic for me. Only person missing here is The Game since he was also a Dr. Dre protégé
This was amazing to see live. Such a great performance. Of course a bunch of people got triggered to see rappers in their halftime show but that’s just what happens when black people do anything nowadays
Finally a comment that noticed some 2pac references I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
nothing but legends, but Kendrick's choreo was just something else.

Rappers just don’t make that same kind of commitment to their performances. Some do. Most don’t.
Just admit the standard for showmanship and stagecraft among (male) rappers is low. It’s actually so low that the the rappers who DO make the extra effort stand out and shine bright.
I’m from Compton, Cali, I’ve been here all my life and seeing the city shine like this in a POSITIVE way is just something SPECIAL!!!
The stage are landmarks of the city. Eminem pops out of “Compton Court House” it’s on Compton Blvd!!
Tams is basically the hood McDonalds or Burger King!! It’s on Rosecrans & Central
“Eve After Dark” is the club where Dr. Dre started at. It’s on Avalon Blvd & El Segundo!!
I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
So good to see Dr Dre doing well after his brain aneurysm. Snoop Dogg btw.. what an icon, grandparents AND kids today know who that man is, talk about longevity.
Those few artists have changed the lives of millions and millions of people.
Performance was so cool they included so many landmarks in the Compton/LBC area such as the compton courthouse and TAMS. Loved the details in the performance
Such an incredible performance, I’ve been watching it over and over. It felt so good finally seeing hip-hop take center stage at the halftime show. This is what Atlanta’s should’ve been like.
Why an absolute flex having Anderson Paak on the drums!
Watching live was crazy. 50 was a great surprise and then Anderson paak on the drums
Absolutely legendary!
So many incredible moments from so many incredible artists.
I've been fortunate enough to be a huge fan of hip hop since the 80s and to see this is a huge milestone in its evolution and a great sign of how healthy and vibrant it still is as an art form and part of the culture.
For me, that little piano riff from I Ain't Mad At Ya hit hardest out of the whole show. That was visceral and timely and unexpected. But I absolutely loved it all, start to finish.
This definitely felt like it was for people over 25!
I was born in 93 and this still feels like it's for me and people older.
I'm 21 in rural Netherlands and I know a ton of people that fuck with this. Young people everywhere grew up listening to Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent and Snoop
ahh what a moment to witness at 2022 for us 80s babies 90s kids. Memories. And Kendrick the definition of Art wow just wow. Hope they do a tour with this. I need more. here for it!!!!
Such a big moment in hip hop history. Having Dre, one of the creators of Fuck the Police, standing on a map of Compton performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in LA! Wow. AND 50 was upside down in da club. insanity
Just loved watching you watch this Jon!!!
You smiling the whole time :)
My man!
I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
I got so happy when 50 cent came out. Took me by such surprise. Love that song and era
Loose yourself always makes me emotional 🔥🔥🔥 these halftime show was beautiful, legendary.
A lot of people don't/didn't realize that MC Lyte was the opening/closing presenter
I'm a rams fan, so I'm elated that we won, and I also absolutely loved the halftime show. Win win for me.
Same, so happy we won with this amazing halftime show too
There was a football match??😜.
I grow up with all the legends.So many memories comes up. Mary j Blige the queen of hip hop. And Eminem incredible, reminds me 8 mile. Snoop doggy dog also incredible. He's not getting older..everyone at home and directly there could feel all these amazing songs.. The whole show was so amazing!
I won’t lie I watch this super bowl and listen in the car at least 10 times a day. Born 1980. Stan since 99. Up in smoke tour watched a million times. I shed a few tears as life seemed so much easier then ❤️🇮🇪
I cried to lol so I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
I was back as kid in high school, that just listened to the chronic album for the first time. It was like an emotional tidal wave. Mary J was lit. They all were. I've been looping this for hours and days. Dre gave us the best west coast halftime EVER. Any coast:)
I read somewhere that Snoop was told to do nothing gang related. shows up with his outfit as a whole bandana reppin blue and then crip walks the whole show. legendary lmao
This had so much nostalgia for me! I was still a little kid(about 6-7) when all this music came out and this performance took me straight to my childhood
Thank you for the content from Russia. I wasn't ready for this level of goosebumps during the show
One of the greatest Super Bowls Shows of all Time!!!
In the middle of the performance I got to the level of excitement that I was thruly expecting alive 2pac to get on stage
I don’t understand how nobody’s talking about 2 pac songs being played. He definitely loved that ❤️R.i.P. definitely missed.
I believe this is the best halftime show to ever premiere at the Super Bowl in years
3:48 50 casually entering to hang up
The stage design is basically the city of Compton. Loved the performances
Dancing by myself with my dogs in the living room watching. Love love love this
Dr Dre and Snoop's live performance is much better that most o f today's rappers whole careers. Salute!
Props to all of them. Evenly felt the energy, but honestly, Mary J's "I'm about to lose my mind" and the scream did it for me!!!!! Well done!!!!
G-Funk always gon be the best Rap sub genre idgaf. Nothing beats 90’s westcoast
I thank the Lord Jesus I lived this long through COVID and car accidents on the way to work to see this Half Time Show performance.
Dear Lord, what a speacial moment. Thank you JD for sharing this reaction with us.
The halftime show was a treat for a massive hip hop fan like me to watch. My hope is that eventually Up in Smoke II will become a reality and a worldwide tour happens. I would pay any amount to see this!
Legendary indeed! Hip-hop has such a long history! From never been given right on radio stations to now performing on one of the largest stages ever !!! This is amazing in terms of musicology
Unbelievable performance, what a moment.
Your easter eggs, the board on the stage features 50 Cent.. but no one noticed it, my theory is that the "Eve After Dark" could be a homage to Eve, a rapper who had Dre's help a little when she started.. Also this performance won 2 Emmy awards (it being the first show to win) + it's reached 168 million views in 1 year lol... you looked like you had a blast listening/watching this - it's possibly the greatest show they've ever had !
Also, I feel the chose the right song for Em to sing - "One shot do not miss your moment to blow.." great vibe for the teams for sure !
I’m from LA, the week leading up to the Super Bowl was crazy lol. It’s almost everyone was solely looking forward for the halftime show instead of the game itself. All the major radio stations here were playing music of every artist headlining 😂
Legendary is the word for that proformance right there. I loved the whole thing
Glad to see Kendrick put in the legends category
I worked on this show (lighting engineer) and it was the BEST show I’ve done… (and set is a mock up of Tam’s burgers in Compton) thru lines everywhere. 😉
Paak was a happy man in those drums
Kendrick and 50 greeting each other at the end was pure love interaction
This half-time show now goes down in history as the greatest ever. Before today it was Bey. This is epic, iconic and nostalgic and see the smile on your face, I can feel the appreciation. 💯 mad for people 35+ that remember this incredible era
not when XLIX exists sorry
@@AlexD-dh2vr Chile, I know you ain’t telling me Katy Perry is better than Dre, K dot and Em? FOH!
Both y'all trippin. MJ and Prince are tied for #1.
@@michelleonuorah7142 yes, Michael and Prince were the best!
Did anybody ever point out or notice that at the very end the dancers were doing a synchronized cryp walk! 😆
Lol and the NFL told Snoop Dogg that he couldn’t wear a black bandanna in his back pocket to represent the Crips. So what did he do? He wore the whole damn colors as his outfit! And cryp walked too lol.
They told Eminem not to take a knee, what did Eminem do he took a knee lol. They didn’t listen to shit! They were like nope. We’re gonna do what we are going to do lol.
And Snoop Dogg is the only person I know who can literally smoke a blunt in your face during an interview and at the same time be best friends with Martha Stewart.
Kendricks performance was insane.
The way that he moves, I loved his moves and he chose the right song, he looked so fly, he was amazing. It was like watching a concert. And they were so synchronized. The whole thing was a damn concert!
And 50 Cent as a surprise performance was sold out. And FYI Eminem caught half of his performance just so that 50 Cent could perform.
And another fun fact, Jay Z put this together and Dr. Dre paid money out of his own pocket to make this happen.
What an amazing time to be alive. This show was iconic and will be remembered for a long time! So nostalgic for me. Only person missing here is The Game since he was also a Dr. Dre protégé
Your silence was just perfect keep up with the reactions 👍
Hip-hop might not be my favorite type music, but this was the best half time show ever. You had one shot and killed it.
Loved your refreshing reaction and enjoyment!
Mary J's "No More Pain" literally gave me goosebumps.
The most Amazing totally legendary half time special loved every min of it.
I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
Enjoyed watchinng with you, John😎 Legendary all of em
Anderson caught me off guard the 1st time I saw this 😂
This was amazing to see live. Such a great performance.
Of course a bunch of people got triggered to see rappers in their halftime show but that’s just what happens when black people do anything nowadays
Travis Scott also performed bro
This was incredible. Nothing more needs to be said.
I’m so glad he recognized the I ain’t mad at cha melody 😭 it made me so happy
Finally a comment that noticed some 2pac references I made my own version of the half time show with the music videos added in for most of the songs th-cam.com/video/z9531UiDwRk/w-d-xo.html
I had the same reaction when I saw Paak on drums
Dre's tribute to Pac is beautiful
Nate Dogg and Tupac was definitely missed
