Older Millennials were thrilled to relive their teenage years listening to Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige perform some of their retro hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The show was mostly uncontroversial and lacked any wardrobe malfunctions. However, there was a long moment when rapper Eminem took a knee which set off a firestorm on social media. Some said the artist was likely making the move in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kapernick, who began the trend of players kneeling for the national anthem several years ago.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Others claimed he was kneeling out of respect for the late rapper Tupac Shakur, whose song was being played on the piano at the time Eminem was kneeling. Either way, fellow performer Dr. Dre addressed the situation following the show, saying the NFL was quite aware Eminem would kneel and didn\u2019t care about it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dr. Dre spoke with TMZ about what the NFL allowed for the performance plus what got cut from the show, KTLA <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/there-was-no-problem-dr-dre-speaks-on-eminem-taking-a-knee-during-super-bowl-halftime-show\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>. The kneeling event was apparently planned for and permitted by the NFL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere were a few things that we had to change, but they were really minor things,\u201d the 56-year-old rapper told TMZ.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To the insinuation that Eminem taking a knee was a surprise move, Dre said it\u2019s not true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEm taking a knee, that was Em doing that on his own and there was no problem with that,\u201d the performer said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dre also mentioned that Lamar had to omit a song lyric that referenced gangs, but mentioned how no one was upset about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAll in all, everybody came in, we were professional, everybody was on time, everybody really felt the magnitude of what that thing was and what we were going to be able to accomplish,\u201d the rapper told TMZ. \u201cIt was a fantastic experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg performed his classic songs \u201cThe Next Episode\u201d and \u201cCalifornia Love.\u201d But the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association encouraged fans to boycott the artist over explicitly violent lyrics from a song Snoop just put out called \u201cPolice.\u201d The collaboration encourages listeners to shoot police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Snoop didn\u2019t perform the controversial new song at the Super Bowl. However, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg\u2019s performance of \u201cStill D.R.E.\u201d included Dre\u2019s anti-police lyric, \u201cStill not loving police\u201d loud enough to be heard across the stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m not trying to be egotistical or anything, but who else could do this show here in L.A.?\u201d Dre said in a press conference before the show, according to ET Online. \u201cWho else could perform the halftime show, other than these amazing artists that we put together?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With the exception of a few notable critics, most people on both sides of the political aisle enjoyed the halftime show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
