Dr. Dre says kneeling was Eminem’s own decision, talks minor changes NFL made to their Super Bowl show

Dr. Dre has recently joined TMZ journalists “TMZ Live” and, in his own words, he was still “buzzing” about what he, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar pulled off at the SoFi Stadium during Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime show.

The legendary producer says he went into rehearsals expecting the NFL to heavily censor almost all of the song, but was pleasantly surprised that they only made “minor changes,” among them, Kendrick’s reference to specific L.A. gangs on a song “M.A.A.D. City” where he kicks his verse with: “If Pirus and Crips all got along, they’d probably gun me down by the end of this song.”

“There were few things that we have to change but they were really minor things. Em taking a knee that was Em doing that on his own, there was no problem with that. The beginning of Kendrick’s set, they had a problem with that, so we had to take that out. No big deal.” said Dre.

Busta Rhymes salutes Eminem after Super Bowl, congratulates Rock Hall nomination

2022’s Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show not only featured some of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but it also saw Eminem taking a knee.

The kneeling took place after Detroit legend performed his 2002 magnum opus “Lose Yourself.” The kneeling gesture became a subject of controversy when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick used it as an act of protest against police brutality and racial discrimination.

Busta Rhymes has recently took to Instagram to share new picture with Eminem. In the caption, he writes: “Slim Shady and The Dragon! Eminem Legendary Super Bowl 56 performance and Congrats again on the Rock Hall induction nomination!! Salute!!”

Royce 5’9″ was quick to comment: “Big homie. You shook that weight off like it was nothing.”

Eminem wanted to kneel during Super Bowl Halftime show but NFL said no

The Hollywood Reporter’s ex journalist and founding partner of Puck News, Matthew Belloni says on Twitter: Eminem wanted to take a knee during halftime today. The NFL said no way. The backstage clash reveals a larger truth about how the league uses legal threats as image management.”

In the article, published in Puck News, editor Eriq Gardner says: NFL didn’t just get these hip-hop stars to perform for free but in fact, this year it’s costing Dr. Dre money, even though he’s got no new album or tour to promote. Hip-hop mogul has put up most of the $7 million budget himself and bought an extra SoFi Stadium box for friends to watch.

But it hasn’t exactly been an easy ride. In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, Dre has gone back and forth with league officials about the lyrics and content of the songs that he could perform onstage. And it goes beyond curse words. A source close to the artist complained that Dre was being “disgustingly censored.” How? The league apparently didn’t want its premier event to turn into a divisive culture war moment. In particular, I’m told, N.F.L. representatives indicated to Dre during rehearsals that they weren’t comfortable with a lyric from his signature 1999 hit, Still D.R.E., which states that he’s “still not loving police.”

That line harkens to Dre’s time as leader of N.W.A., when the seminal hip-hop group released the controversial song, F**k Tha Police. At one point, the NFL told Dre he couldn’t say the line at all, but as of this writing, Dre is optimistic that “police” might make the cut of “accepted” lyrics. Meanwhile, the league nixed a plan by Eminem to kneel, Colin Kaepernick-style. Organizers also flagged something that Snoop Dogg was set to wear as possibly appearing gang-related.
