Let's check in on Ben Shapiro, shall we?
Capitalism always wins. Watching the NFL monetize the Left's radical racial messaging, feature artists with rap sheets longer than your arm (including multiple accusations of violence against women), and even capitalize on Eminem kneeling is...hilarious.— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 14, 2022
Oh shit, he's anti-capitalist now!

From Jon Caramanica NY Times article:This year’s event also took place in South Los Angeles, just 20 minutes west of Compton, where Dr. Dre was a founder of N.W.A, one of the most important hip-hop groups of all time, godfathers of gangster rap and agit-pop legends. Compton was embedded into the stage setup: the buildings included signs for its various landmarks, including Tam’s Burgers, Dale’s Donuts, and the nightclub Eve After Dark, where Dr. Dre used to perform with his first group, World Class Wreckin’ Cru. The dances, from Crip-walking to krumping, were Los Angeles specific. Three vintage Chevrolet Impalas served as visual nods to lowrider culture. Lamar performed his segment atop a massive aerial photograph of the city.…― curmudgeon, Sunday, February 13, 2022 11:55 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

Not that I'm complaining, but I didn't get why Mary J Blige was part of this lineup. Does she have some connection to Dre/LA or was she just the 90s R&B artist they thought would provide a change-of-pace in an all male/rap show? imo it would have been cool to give a younger LA artist like Tinashe this stage instead of throwing in a NY artist into what was otherwise a distinctly LA show.

― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Monday, 14 February 2022 16:50 (two years ago) link
can i be cynical and say that the whole "kneeling" thing has been scripted and staged exactly as intended? and further that it was done this way specifically for the only white person on the bill to be the one to take a knee?
or is that too far?

I didn't even connect that he was kneeling in reference to Kaepernick until someone pointed it out on Twitter

only thing that made me sad is we got nothing from The Chronic or Doggystyle, but i'm guessing they were too afraid of lewd content slipping through censors? either that or Dre partnering with Eminem, 50 Cent/etc, now has everybody associating only post-2000 music with Dre.
it was still a blast though.
btw "Will Snoop smoke on stage?" was something you could bet on at various Sportsbooks. i was too afraid.

It's like Nadal hydrating before a match. Every single time you have ever heard Snoop, he has always been high. That's the Snoop you want.
I thought that too about the big Chronic and Doggystyle singles, that even watered down they might be too much for the Super Bowl bosses.

There was a weird edit in Still DRE (at least the version I saw on youtube), so I assume someone let some profanity slip through and they had to cover.
