But this performance was so important for so many reasons. My generation grew up with this music. I mean, I was sweating in my living room dancing to you. It was also a significant cultural moment because, as we have discussed on this show many times, the NFL and I think has a significant problem with race. But the halftime show for many people was a showcase of hip-hop, rap, black artistry. Eminem took a knee. What did it feel like to play such a huge role in that moment?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Blige said, \u201cIt was one of the most important roles and accomplishments in my career. We have come so far. Hip-hop has come so far. African \u2014 you know \u2014 black people have come so far. To have us the epicenter, the front line of such a huge, huge moment. Words can\u2019t express how grateful I am to Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine for calling me to be a part of that \u2026 Because if I didn\u2019t get a call from them, I wouldn\u2019t have been there. So it was extremely important to all our careers, I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary J.
