The performance was the first Super Bowl halftime show to put rap center stage, and featured Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J.
Blige and Snoop Dogg performing a medley of past hits.“It’s crazy that it took all of this time for us to be recognized,” Dr.
Dre said at the game’s official news conference leading up to the event.Related: Where did all the queer Super Bowl ads go in LVI?Author and outspoken Trump loyalist Nick Adams had a lot to say about the show, including a request that next year’s performance should include “God Bless America.”But let’s all be grateful Adams — who describes himself as “Trump’s favorite author” — doesn’t plan the show, because that’s not even his worst idea.After tweeting that he would not be watching this year’s “Godless” presentation, he wrote: “Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Lee Greenwood would put on a better Halftime Show than these hoodlums.”The Super Bowl Halftime Show should include “God Bless America” next year.— Nick Adams ?
