Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg opened the epic showdown by performing “The Next Episode” while standing atop a massive, white multi-house structure complete with an array of dancers and parked cars. Up next, the pair delivered “California Love.”

50 Cent then gave a surprise — and initially upside down — appearance to rap his 2003 smash hit “In Da Club.”
Mary J. Blige kicked off her set with “Family Affair,” immediately followed by “No More Drama.” Rocking a sparkly silver and white outfit and surrounded by dancers, Blige finished up her performance with a signature faint.
Next, Lamar appeared to deliver “Alright.” Moments later — with a smooth musical transition — Eminem appeared to perform “Lose Yourself” with Anderson. Paak on the drums. Amid Eminem’s performance, the camera cut to show Blige and 50, both sitting and nodding along to the beat.
Dr. Dre then made another incredible transition, this time by playing the piano, as he reappeared with Snoop Dogg to perform “Still D.R.E.”
The huge halftime show performance comes after L.A. native Jhené Aiko sang “America the Beautiful” alongside a harpist during the pregame show. Soon after that performance, country star Mickey Guyton gave a powerful rendition of the national anthem.
