Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg host 2024 Super Bowl Afterparty

Fresh from announcing “Gin & Juice” drink, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre hosted the 2024 Super Bowl Afterparty, to promote their new product.

Snoop and Dre performed some of their biggest hits, including “Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang,” “California Love,” “Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None),” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “The Next Episode” and “Stil D.R.E”

The California natives are also working together on a new album together titled Missionary. During an appearance on All the Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson last month, Snoop talked about the process.

“I’m in the lab with Dr. Dre right now — that’s Death Row/Aftermath,” he said. “We finishing that up right now, tidying up the pieces to that. He’s a perfectionist. The n-gga called me one day about two years ago. He was like, ‘N-gga, come over, let me do a couple of songs with you.’

“I go over there and he like, ‘N-gga, let me do your album.’ And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s go!’ We go in, knock out a couple of songs. He hit me back: ‘I need two more days.’ I got that call probably about 85 times. This n-gga need two more days all the time.”

He continued: “But when you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg. There’s some growth to him. It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a f-cking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged.”

NFL uses Eminem’s song for the 2023 Super Bowl promo

For the second time in just four years, the Kansas City Chiefs are NFL Super Bowl champions! The Chiefs, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday.

Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left to all but cinch the victory. Mahomes, who threw for three touchdowns and 182 yards, was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. The player was also named the league’s MVP on Thursday.

Rihanna delivered an electrifying and hit-heavy Super Bowl half-time show at Sunday’s Super Bowl, but social media went into meltdown when the singer revealed an unexpected special guest.

Naturally, fans assumed Rihanna would bring out one of the many artists she’s collaborated with during her illustrious career. A guest spot from Jay-Z, Drake or Eminem seemed both likely and in keeping with the half-time show tradition of surprise duets.

The singer may have failed to debut any new music during her performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl, but the baby bump she debuted instead almost broke the internet.

Eminem was not the surprise guest but the National Football League (NFL) used his song “Legacy” from The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album for the promo of the game. You can watch the video below:

The Game admits it hurt him when Dr. Dre invited Eminem & 50 Cent to Super Bowl but not him

The Game joins Brandon Marshall, Pacman Jones and Nick ” Swaggy P” Young in Episode 36 of I Am Athlete podcast.

The LA rapper explains his thoughts surrounding not being selected to perform in the Super Bowl LVI Halftime show with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar featuring 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak.

“The reason I was not on Super Bowl is that I’m not ‘safe artist’. You don’t know what Game gonna do when you get up there. The Super Bowl was in LA. It’s Dr. Dre’s Super Bowl but it is Jay-Z! Jay-Z understands the dynamic of west coast hip-hop very well and I don’t think Jay-Z would have a problem if Dre would have said ‘we bring The Game to Super Bowl.'”

“Outside of myself, I think YG should have been on Super Bowl. If it was New York Super Bowl, you might have saw Jay-Z, you might have saw NAS, Mary J. Blige and Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys. You might have saw anybody cause we on the west coast are only motherf**kers that have this crab in the barrel mentality where we wanna keep down or don’t do things based on what somebody else might think it looks like.”

“Snoop Dogg was there because Snoop Dogg is safe, and he’s a legend. My grandmother knows about Snoop and so do my children. Snoop is an icon. Dre is an icon. Eminem is an icon but Em is not from LA. 50 Cent is not from LA. I’m not taking away from the fact that they were on Super Bowl but LA would not be on Detroit Super Bowl, or New York Super Bowl. It’s was LA Super Bowl and I didn’t get the call. I was hurt by that.”

“I feel like Dre should have called and said why. I would understand that. Because I talk to Dre. I talk to Dre often. I just know that if I was Dre and he was Game, he would have been up there. That’s it. It’s LA and I’m LA. I AM LA. I am in the streets. So it hurt. Am I bothered by it? Ain’t nobody bothered by it today. I feel that it was amazing Super Bowl and it was a win for our culture as a whole.” – said Game.

N.O.R.E. confirmed the story on the latest Drink Champs podcast with DJ EFN, which premiered on YouTube couple of days ago. The guest on the show was none other than hip-hop icon Snoop Doggy Dogg.

“Jay-Z told me ‘the White guy called for 50 Cent.’ I said, ‘Who is the White guy? Jimmy Iovine?’ And he said, ‘No, Eminem called directly for Fifty and he said I can not do it if I can not bring 50 with me. That is spiritual.” said N.O.R.E.

50 Cent was not happy with how Jigga addressed Eminem as a ‘white guy,’ so responded on Instagram post with a caption: “Why did he say the white boy, why he did not say the biggest rap artist in the world?”

Royce Da 5’9″ felt proud of Eminem for showing such loyalty, love and respect to Fifty. Royce shared Southpawer article screenshot on his Instagram with the caption: “I love my brother! Shady for life!”

The white guy called for 50 Cent.’ I said, who is the white guy? Jimmy Iovine? And he said no, EMINEM called directly for Fifty and he said I can’t do it if I can’t bring 50 with me. That’s spiritful.” said NORE.

Snoop Dogg reveals Dr. Dre originally didn’t want to do Super Bowl show: “Next call is Hi, My Name Is.”

Back in February Dr. Dre performed at the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI halftime show where the legendary producer brought out Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak.

After the performance, Dr. Dre faced some criticism from disappointed fans that certain songs and rappers were not included in the show.

Yesterday, Snoop Dogg appeared on Drink Champs with NORE and DJ EFN where he briefly talked about the Super Bowl halftime show.

“What people do not understand is, he did not do nothing from the Ruthless catalog, the Death Row catalog, nothing from Snoop Dogg’s catalog… He only had 12 minutes. What could you do in twelve f**king minutes where you could satisfy everybody? … You gonna miss a beat, where was Ice Cube? That is the ace in the hole.” said Snoop.

Later in the interview, Snoop revealed that Dr. Dre did not originally wanted to perform at the Super Bowl: “Dre called to say, ‘They want me to do the Super Bowl, I do not know if I wanna do it. One thing you gotta know about Dr. Dre, is he is a guy that’s in the moment. So if he do not feel like he is got a record that is relevant at the moment, then he do not think he is the moment.”

“Convincing him was more or less about ‘ni**a I’m with you.’ When the Dogg stands with you your confidence level goes up to roof. And once you get the Dogg next call is ‘Hi, My Name Is.’ I ain’t suggest no motherf**king thing. Only thing I suggested I was like ‘can we do G Tang’ cause I felt like that song was pinnacle moment of who we are.” Snoop added.

Watch Behind The Scenes video of Super Bowl Halftime Show 2022

Hip-hop finally had its moment at the Super Bowl last month when legends Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige took to the stage for an electrifying halftime show at the So-Fi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The spectacular, high-energy performance was a powerful celebration of hip hop and its evolution over the last three decades, centering on the legacy of Dr. Dre, a pioneer of West Coast rap whose outsize influence on the genre helped shape the careers of his co-headliners, especially his protegee, Eminem, and fellow hometown heroes, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar.

The music director Adam Blackstone has recently shared the Behind The Scenes video of the show. In the caption, he wrote: “COME BEHIND THE SCENES with BBE and experience “DRE DAY”. Still coming down off what was such an incredible Super Bowl Pepsi Halftime show! I wanted to share a small glimpse of what the process was for us to get to where we ended up musically! And for me, it all starts with TEAM!!!! Thank you to each and every band and production person, company, and crew member that made this possible to Pull off. ENJOY THE RIDE!”

Vince Staples applauds Eminem’s kneeling but explains why he was not impressed with Super Bowl show

Speaking with Ebro Darden for a Black History Month episode of Apple Music 1’s The Message, Vince Staples said it was good to see Eminem kneeling but explains why he is not impressed with the Super Bowl show.

“To me, the Super Bowl Halftime show is not even something to be super-duper excited about. It is like, finally, because you can not lie about it anymore. It has been so many times that they have pretended that this was not a phenomenon. They were playing songs from decades ago. That just goes to show you how long it has been a thing, how long it has been the pinnacle, but it is good that they finally stop being stubborn and start coming around because it is unavoidable at this point.”

“It is just good to have that moment and just see how it comes full circle from Eminem taking his knee stance, to bringing it full circle with the Kaepernick situation, and the work that Jay-Z has done in the messaging, and the lyrics, and all that. It’s so cool but… My pops used to always tell me… You come home like, ‘Oh, yeah. I got good grades.’ He is like, ‘What you expect? You happy? You supposed to do that.’ I am not giving people pats on the back for doing what they supposed to do. That is just not how I am built. I am not proud of them, I am not happy that they did it: they should have did it, you know what I am saying? What else you going to do? What you going to put on there that is more popping in LA for the LA Super Bowl? What are your options? They had no other options except for the biggest hip-hop producer in the history of hip-hop arguably, the biggest rapper in hip-hop history arguably, and the biggest rapper out right now arguably. What other choice did you have? They did not do us no favor. They did what they was supposed to do.” said Vince Staples.

You can watch the interview below. He starts talking about Super Bowl at around 21:30 minutes.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg kicked the show off with “The Next Episode,” followed by “California Love.” Then 50 Cent appeared under the stage as a surprise guest to perform “In Da Club.”

Eminem performed his magnum opus, Oscar-winning song ‘Lose Yourself’ and when he finished the song, he decided to kneel in support of Colin Kaepernick.
