A rap halftime show? WTF?

All those Pornos he created objectifying women has been really good for society.

 

I was 7 years old when the Beatles first appeared on the "Ed Sullivan show" and it was what everyone in school was talking about. The country was still in shock from the JFK assassination less than 90 days before the Beatles arrived in America. The Beatles arrival got everyone's mind off of the tragedy and brought some fun and excitement into a grieving country.

 

Get off my lawn!

 

I thought it was rather comical.

 

For me, anything but rap and disco.

Rock, big band, blues, country, classical, ....... I'm fine.

 

its better than that lousy blonde horribly destroying Joan Jetts song on Sunday night. Just let Joan Jett sing it her way.

 

That’s what I listened to back in the day. Still like to listen to old school sometimes. Really don’t like all the new mumble rap nonsense. Huge fan of the G.O.A.T of rap, the Rap God himself. “ Hi my name is...” . I don’t care if you don’t classify his stuff as music but if you don’t think it’s a talent,you don’t know what your listening to. He’s the best to ever have done it and it’s not even close and I go back to the guys on your list and further.

PS : You forgot Rakim

 

Personally I think halftime shows peaked with frisbee catching dogs. I just don't see why anyone would be bothered by a halftime show involving rap. It's just as legit as having a country or rock halftime show.

 

It’s urban music and the league is made up of mostly rap fans and supporters. You can actually watch NASCAR or the rodeo and watch all the country you want to. You notice no one ever complains about Hank Jr or Carrie Underwood getting the Sunday and Monday opening acts? Try to evolve and understand everyone has different tastes and all fans should get a chance to hear the entertainer they want.

 

Eric B and Rakim... yes they were great.

 

I am a rap fan and I agree with you and Dee. There is nothing wrong with mixing things up. I consider VA tech’s enter the sandman opening the best in college football.

 

I dont watch any halftime shows. Thats bathroom break, get food, etc etc time.

 

Who else remembers when Up with People used to do the Super Bowl halftime shows?

 

Me neither pretty much. No pre game ,no half time and post game only when we win.........obviously

 

Disagree. There's many better Metallica songs for a team to open with. Blackened, Battery, Damage Inc, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Disposable Heroes... all better songs and more intense than overplayed Sandman.

 

"Hey, Cozmo, what's the name of this again? I forgot.
Jam on it
Oh"

Oh the memories.

Check out the sound, check out the sound, check out the sound, check out the sound

 

Would love an opportunity to enjoy Shakira

 

I'm with you on all your music genre's except for the rap and hip hop. So that makes me (and most likely Iowa Jim) even weirder. Have to say though, I had a thing for Shakira when she first arrived on the US music scene but then as with most flames, I lost interest. Always have Willie's Roadhouse or Bluegrass Junction on Sirius/XM radio in my truck. Fan of Jim Ladd's Deep Tracks show too.

 

Take a number

 

I do remember, but then the War of 1812 broke out and took everyone's minds off football for a while.

 

Rap, believe it or not the big wigs pushed this as part of the dumbing down of America.

They've succeeded.

 

Yeah when the British set the White House on fire the Redskins game was cancelled that week.
