Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar star in an epic trailer for the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show released on Thursday. All five hip-hop torchbearers are set to perform at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show this February 13th at Inglewood, CA’s SoFi Stadium.
The 3:48 trailer begins with Eminem battling his alter-ego Slim Shady in the studio with “Rap God” playing in the background. He then receives a text—presumably from Dr. Dre—that implores him to hop on a train and head to bright and sunny California. As Em’s plane lands in L.A. the camera catches Snoop Dogg driving around in his low-rider with he and Dr. Dre’s collab “The Next Episode” blasting over the speakers.
Cut to a bystander’s cell phone and Blige finds herself getting spruced up before hopping in a car headed towards SoFi. The theme continues with Kendrick, who receives a similar text while working on writing some new material as Dr. Dre walks along a Golden State beach to the tune of “Still D.R.E.”. The F. Gary Gray-directed trailer concludes with the five artists meeting up outside of the stadium and readying themselves for the hip-hop fan’s chimera.
“Each time I collaborate with Dre, it seems to mark an important moment in entertainment history, from projects like Friday, Set It Off, Straight Outta Compton, to now the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show,” Gray said in a statement. “As a super fan, I consider it an honor and privilege to authentically build and create this moment with five of the most legendary artists in music history. It’s been a blast!”
“The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” said Dre upon the show’s initial announcement. “I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar for joining me in what will be an unforgettable cultural moment.”
