The Super Bowl LVI halftime show was packed with some of hip hop’s hottest stars in its stellar lineup, kicking off with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, and leading into some of 50 Cent’s, Mary J. Blige’s and Kendrick Lamar’s biggest hits.
Fans couldn’t help but note some of the most unique elements of the performance, from 50 Cent’s upside-down entrance – a nod to his “In da Club” music video, which premiered in 2003 – to Blige’s sky-high boots.

The crowd went wild when Eminem launched into his set with his iconic 2002 hit “Lose Yourself.”

Eminem’s set included fellow rapper Anderson Paak on the drums, and the Detroit native took a knee as Dr. Dre took a seat at the piano.
