Eminem, Lamar, Blige, Snoop & Dr. Dre Answer Super Bowl Halftime Call
With the NFL's Super Bowl LVI set to take place from Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium on Sunday, Friday 13, we've reached that time of the year when most people can agree on one thing. When it comes to the big game, it's best to bet on the commercials and trailers being more entertaining than the game itself. But if we're being honest? We usually don't lump in the Super Bowl Halftime Show into the mix because… well… except for Prince? They're pretty much hit-or-miss, with the hits not hitting that hard. Looks like that's going to change this year, with Pepsi passing on buying commercial time and instead sponsoring a halftime show that… wait for it… we're actually looking forward to. Eminem. Kendrick Lamar. Mary J. Blige. Snoop Dogg. Dr. Dre. Yup, all of them together to take the stage for a performance that's begging for us to already label it "incredible" (though we'll wait to actually see how it turns out). With supporting teaser ads set to be unleashed during the playoffs, Pepsi and the artists have put together a little something to help set the mood.
As we said, in case you need to be further convinced that we actually have a halftime show worth getting excited about (as if that line-up wasn't enough?), check out the following trailer "The Call," directed by filmmaker F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton, The Italian Job). Yes, we have a trailer that looks as impressive as you're about to see… for the halftime show! Just imagine what the actual show's going to be like…
Directed by filmmaker F. Gary Gray, "The Call" features Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar for an epic Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show trailer. Scored by Adam Blackstone, "The Call" features a musical compilation of iconic tracks "Rap God," "The Next Episode," "Family Affair," "HUMBLE.," "Still D.R.E.," and "California Love."
