Hip Hop and rap take center stage during an epic halftime show

Super Bowl audiences were transported back to the 90s and early 2000s, as some of the biggest hip hop and rap stars took the stage during the half time show.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre took it back to the streets of Compton to kick off the show performing "The Next Episode" on a stage set up to look like the ultimate 90s house party.

In a clear celebration of the city and state where the Super Bowl was held, Snoop and Dre then performed Tupac Shakur's "California Love."

In a surprise moment, 50 cent performed his club banger "In Da Club," a staple track for any party in the early 00s.

Mary J. Blige performed a medley of her biggest hits, followed by Kendrick Lamar, who performed his song "Alright" with a group of perfectly synced backup dancers.

Eminem then made a grand, explosive entrance and performed his hit "Lose Yourself."

Dr. Dre closed out the show with "Still D.R.E" and — for those watching from home, a perfect wide shot of the ultimate house party happening center field. The perfect end to a halftime show meant to be the ultimate nostalgic concert.
