Super Bowl half-time delights the world
Rapper Eminem took a knee during his halftime performance, a gesture often done to protest racial injustice in the country.
One of the key elements of every Super Bowl, the largest sporting event in the United States, is certainly a half-time concert. Big names were not absent this year either: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar. They are followed by celebrities from the audience, and a lot of attention is drawn to them - who will come with whom or not, which brand they will take, whether they will make an outburst. This year, for the first time in history, hip-hop artists got a moment under the spotlight at the Super Bowl. In every sense. From 50 Cent, who was actually a surprise guest and started his performance literally upside down, referring to the cult video "In Da Club", to the performance of Eminem, who became the subject of controversy by kneeling after performing his 2002 hit "Lose yourself". Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick used the same gesture as an act of protest against police brutality and racial discrimination in 2016.
When Ramsey and Benglas went to the locker rooms, to rest during the halftime of the 56th edition of the Super Bowl, some of the biggest stars of hip-hop music came out on the field and put on a show to remember. A show that enthusiastically united the whole world, "even Twitter users", as jokes began circulating when Dr. Dre and the others left the stage.
There are no words to describe how amazing this historic Super Bowl Halftime Show was. At least those are the impressions of a large number of people, even musicians who took an important place on that stage in some of the previous Super Bowl matches.
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar took the stage at the Sophie Stadium in Inglewood, and the picture already looked stunning.
A lot of epic music in a small space.
They were then joined by guest stars 50 Cent and Anderson.Paak, who even played drums while Eminem rapped his punchlines. Certainly, Eminem's move towards the end of the performance marked the whole event. He knelt down at one point to support Colin Kaepernick, who is not welcome in the NFL for his fight against racism.
Even when 'Straight Outta Compton' director F. Gary Gray created a trailer called "The Call" to announce this "halftime show", the reactions were great. After the performance, the reactions are even better.
