Let’s put some things in perspective. On this stage, you have a tech billionaire, an R&B legend, 3 box office hit actors, a football coach who’s sent over 30 kids to college, an academy award and a combined 32 (more than twice that in nominations) Grammys. On top of all of that, every single artist on that stage came from nothing and survived through violence, poverty and addiction. What you’re literally looking at right here is the American dream!

I grew up on this generation of music… was excited to see it but ultimately Rap just can’t measure up. Was especially disappointing that a few of the group were lip syncing lol. Like why do you need to lip sync rap? Prince really sang and played electric guitar during a rainstorm…

Most rappers sound terrible live without a backing track.

Hip Hop sucks live but nostalgia is unlike anything ever. Dre paid, what, 7 million to do the thing.

I didn’t understand why Kendrick chose the song he did. Em had to choose his “pop success” song. It just didn’t allow the artists to truly be themselves. Fifty was in a weird spot too where body shaming became a topic on all sorts of angles because one cannot make jokes because people are paper thin about their defects.

Dre looked good for just having a brain aneurysm. The cool thing is that this is likely the last time we see any of these guys together. It’ll be remembered for that.

You didn't catch Curtis Jackson in the Escape Plan trilogy?

3??? Not even 1, although MJB is a 2 time Oscar nominee and 3 time Golden Globe nominees. She's not know for her acting though.

That's a reach on both "tech" and "billionaire".

I assume Em is one for 8 Mile. I guess 50 had a couple movies? But I can't recall a box office hit. And I have zero idea who the 3rd could be.

Bottom line - you have 6 enormously successful people on that stage. You can praise them and make note of how much they've accomplished without just making shit up.

Obviously, I did not know that.

I thought Apple bought Beats from Dre a few years back for a gazillion.
3.2 Billion, but I think Dre took home like 700 or 800 million from it.

8 Mile was a critical and box office success. It opened No. 1 in the US with $51.3 million grossed in its opening weekend and an eventual total of $242.9 million worldwide.[2]

Like usc said, he took home a piece. I think he got close to billionaire, but didn't quite make it. Pretty sure his divorce squashed the last breaths of that hope.

It's all about the phrasing.

"Box office" stars... which means they probably had the "# whatever Movie In America" for a week or something.

Dre and Snoop Dog star in smaller movies, but they were both in Training Day so that was a big movie.

Em was in 8 Mile Dr. Dre among others.

Strange - I don't remember Babe being this way in the past, but it has now become a slight bit fascinating. When she is not posting memes, she posts comments which are essentially word-memes. Just catchphrase after catchphrase, without any indication that she understands what those words are supposed to mean.

Remember BFT? Like that, but somehow even less.

I thought it was common knowledge that more or less all half time shows and national anthems at the Super Bowl are pre-recorded. I know with the national anthem it's literally NFL policy after Garth Brooks threw his hissy fit in 93.

Prince definitely didn’t lip sync but he had the clout to enforce himself like that.
