Halftime: Had no interest in watching people 15+ years past their musical prime and didn’t watch.

This thread: Criticizing the misogyny in rap is within bounds, but comments suggesting a predisposition to riot based on neighborhood are in poor taste, to say the least.

The setlist:
The Next Episode — Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg: 2000
California Love — Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg: 1995
In Da Club — 50 Cent: 2003
Family Affair — Mary J. Blige: 2001
No More Drama — Mary J. Blige: 2001
m.A.A.d City — Kendrick Lamar: 2012
Alright — Kendrick Lamar: 2015
Forgot about Dre — Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre: 2000
Lose Yourself — Eminem: 2002
Still Dre — Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem: 1999

Most of the songs (except for Kendrick Lamar’s) are over 20 years old. As stated earlier in the thread, it is a nostalgia play for millennials and Gen Xers who grew up listening to the music and are the targets for all the Super Bowl ads.

But going for the nostalgia play with over the hill bands is par for a super bowl. Who can forget The Rolling Stones playing in 2006 songs that were almost 30 years old. Or even U2 in the early 2000’s playing songs from the 80’s.
