Eminem has joined forces with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige for the 'greatest Super Bowl halftime show in history'.
You can place halftime shows into three categories. You have the passable: the Black Eyed Peas in 2011; Maroon 5 in 2019; and Justin Timberlake in 2018. You have the infamous; more specifically, the career-halting fallout of Timberlake exposing Janet Jackson's breast. Then, you have the all-time classics: Prince in 2007; and Lady Gaga in 2017.

This year, NFL fans have congregated in Los Angeles to watch the Cincinnati Bengals face off against the LA Rams. It's halftime, and the world's just been treated to an instant Hall of Famer of a show.
The 'rap supergroup' for this year's show was made up of Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige – between them, they have an incredible 43 Grammy awards.
I can’t lie. It’s cheesy but years later I hear the opening bars to “Lose Yourself” and still feel chills. #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/UnSfpn7YMM

'The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl LVI half-time show, and to do it in my own back yard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,' Dre earlier said.

Ahead of the show, Snoop also said, 'For me, when performing, I never let the moment get bigger than me. I’m not going to understand it until it happens. While it’s happening, I’m in the zone. I’m stuck to the script, laser focused, being on point, sounding good, looking good and feeling good. I want to give off a great presentation. After the fact, it’s when I’ll be nervous about watching it to see what the reaction is. But while I’m going through it, it’s nothing.'
I think I speak for everyone when I say that that was the GREATEST Super Bowl halftime show of ALL TIME.

However, he did describe the gig as a 'dream come true... we’re all one. We’re all united together. If you really look at it, that’s what the world needs to understand that we need to come together as opposed to division or separation.'
