Who would you like to see do a SB Halftime show?
My significant other said Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw would do a great job, be non controversial and appeal to a lot of people. That’s not my style of music, but I could see that being well liked. I would like to see a tri fecta of Eminem, Nelly and Weezer. Who ya got?

That halftime show was trash. I like rap, but I’m not sure that’s what that was. Rappers today lack individual style. It makes me mad. Maroon 5 is just kinda blah and standard boring music to me.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
"Rappers today lack individual style."
I pray you're not referring to Big Boi, part of one of the most iconic groups of the 90's and early 2000's.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
I’m sorry Ms. Jackson. I am for real.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
Well played sir
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
To be fair Big Boi didn’t make Outkast. Andre 3000 did.
A lot of the good rappers won’t perform for the super bowl bc of the Kaepernick stuff
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
Big Boi was actually good. The other guy sucked.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
Correction: Big Boi is actually good. Andre3000 is actually incredible.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Don't ever post again.
3 Stacks is not even arguably one of the greatest rappers of all time. He IS one of the great rappers/lyricist of all time.
Debate all you want on where to rank him. But he's on the list. Biggie, Pac, Jay-Z, Nas, Em, Wayne, Cube, on and on...put in whatever order you want, but Andre 3000 is in every debate.
That's like saying Tom Brady sucked. He may not be the best football player of all-time, depending on who you ask. But no one can say that he's not in the discussion. Even if you hate his guts, he's still on the list...just last on that list.

Not even close to his best work, but I had to listen just because your comment was so idiotic that I needed to balance myself.
February 4th, 2019 at 8:56 AM ^
According to Eminem, his own personal list goes as follows:
Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
February 4th, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
To be fair, that was his list in 2002
February 4th, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
I think they should actually try to get Paper Boi.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
Ludacris not being part of the superbowl halftime show when it's in Atlanta is an absolute travesty.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
I was waiting for "welcome to atlanta" to start playing. It was a travesty he didnt participate.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:11 AM ^
A lot of rappers turned it down due to Kaep.
You don't get paid and if you don't have an album to promote, it's really not even worth it. Especially when a decent amount of your fanbase is in full protest mode.
Best to just leave it alone.
The rapper could've been T.I., Jeezy, Gambino, Gucci...no one was touching that halftime show this year. Besides, you really think they're going to let Donald Glover get up there and start rapping "THIS IS AMERICA..."
February 4th, 2019 at 1:23 AM ^
When you say, “due to Kaep,” it makes it sound like somehow a guy that literally knelt down on a football field years ago is somehow responsible for the NFL’s selection of halftime show performers. I don’t actually think that’s what you are saying, and I’d recommend reframing your discussion. While Kaep may have been a trigger, he is by no means a cause.
February 4th, 2019 at 9:51 AM ^
I do not think he's suggesting Kaep is responsible for the NFL's selection...the opposite actually. Kaep's actions, either purposefully or not, rightfully or not, contributed to a divide between black individuals and Goodell/NFL. Because of that, many hip hop artists either stand with Kaep and would refuse the opportunity to play at the Super Bowl as a social statement, or are indifferent but do not want to alienate their listening base.
So, I think you're both saying the same thing to each other but in different ways.
February 4th, 2019 at 10:25 AM ^
That is exactly what he is saying. The Kaepernick national anthem kneeling and surrounding fallout/controversy limited the pool the NFL was picking from for half-time entertainment because a large contingent of artists did not want to be affiliated with the NFL product for various and differing reasons and the backlash they would have received from their fan-base.
Why do you think Was-Never-Any-Good-And-Has-Not-Been-Remotely-Relevant-for-5 years-Maroon-5 was the act they landed? Because Maroon 5 is absolutely awful and could not possibly say no to a Super Bowl act.
How is that a controversial position? It is like, factual. Is it just a fact he is not allowed to say?
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
Rappers today lack individual style? You must know zero about rappers today.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
Shitty face tattoos don’t count.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:57 PM ^
too lazy to look up how to embed. Here is where I am on today’s rap vs 80s/90s rap. I am grateful for channel 43, formerly Backspin, on XM.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:16 AM ^
It's kind of true...but it's a shitty reason to not like rap.
It's like saying football or basketball players lack originality. Well, of course they do...they're just copying what was before them and putting their own little spin on it.
Even J. Cole's newest song he says...
So yeah, it's not overly original, but J. Cole is great in ANY era of rap. Like LeBron is great in ANY era of basketball or Brady in football. Brady copied Joe Montana, his idol, we going to knock him for that?
There's more bad rap now than ever, but originality is a dumb reason to throw shade at the entire genre.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
Kid Rock
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Him and Eminem would be cool.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:26 PM ^
Eminem would never happen given his lyrics and NFL domestic violence issues
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Kid Rock, Eminem, Ted Nugent, and Jack White.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:24 AM ^
....ICP says what about us???
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
East German Judge with special guest Joe Pa Loving penn state fans.

Will pay money to watch this
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
The Michigan Marching Band.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
With vocals by MurderWolf
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:41 PM ^
Not to step on Wolverine Devotees toes but that's been done before:
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
One of those Frisbee-catching dogs. Those are the only halftimes I actually can't turn away from.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
I could roll with that. I wonder if at some point soon they go to something like this. Maybe the music stage act is just something they should move away from all together.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
Exactly. Who says it has to be music? It should just be some kind of entertainment. Could be mascot races for all I care. Or mascots on horses, jousting with real lances. That would be gold.
February 4th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
I came here to say almost the same thing. Why does it have to be music? A magician would be awesome. Red Panda is good, but would be too short.
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
"the music stage act is just something they should move away from"
February 3rd, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
Yeah, but then again, you're a talented dog yourself, Snoopy!
February 4th, 2019 at 4:02 PM ^
I'd love to see that. Although I think the Puppy Performers Union just released a pretty bold "We Stand with Kaep" statement...
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Falco, they’re due!
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
Rock me, Amadeus!

Or at least 6 feet under
February 4th, 2019 at 7:35 AM ^
Speaking of Amadeus, they should have the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. If they're good enough for our halftime show, they're good enough for the SuperBowl. Fuck Rap. Fuck Hip-hop. Fuck the Free World. I'm Out-y.
February 4th, 2019 at 11:11 AM ^
He's also dead.
February 3rd, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
The Foo Fighters.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
Nailed it. They would kill it.
February 3rd, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
Absolutely.
February 4th, 2019 at 1:45 AM ^
#1 choice at this point, not even close.
February 4th, 2019 at 8:01 AM ^
Went to the Super Bowl. On Saturday, the Foo Fighters actually played the Super Saturday DirecTv event at Atlantic Station in Atlanta. They killed it. They covered Queen and brought Roger Taylor our to play drums. They then covered Metallica and brought Zac Brown from the Zac Brown Band and Tom Morrello from Rage Against the Machine on stage...and then Perry Farrell from janes Addiction got on stage and joined in with everyone. It was such an incredible show and jam session. Adam Levine sounded awful in person and was such a disappointment to see. Foos made fun of the halftime show on Saturday night.
February 4th, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
I heard they did the pregame show with Roger Taylor of Queen, which sounds infinitely better than the halftime show we actually got.
