"Boomers" -as we're now affectionately being stereotyped here on the CP now- don't drink much Pepsi. As you get older you get wise that soft drinks are bad for you. So we're not in Pepsi's target demographic. It's business, I get it.
I wonder if Vegas will take bets on any entourage gunfire happening during the actual show? Probably not inside the stadium, but outside is always a possibility in LA. Wonder if Frank Clark is going to try to take his Uzi in with him?
Snoop sold out to Corona Beer.
Ice T is hawking Tide Pods and Carshield.
I think you lose your artistic credibility when you become commercial pitchmen.
I can see it now:
Super Bowl Commercial:
Eminem and Jay-Z wearing wife beaters, baggy pants; grabbing their junk with one hand and a mic in the other; decked out in backwards hats and about 30 pounds of gold chains, and they rap "MF...MF...MF...MF...McDonalds!" Cha-Ching! [Reply]

I'm looking forward to Snoop and Dre the most. Kendrick next and MJB will be a nice touch. Eminem music is ok but he's not my favorite performer [Reply]

The only thing funnier than old farts bitching about rap is old people in their thirties trying to convince themselves they aren't old by hanging out in a forum full of sixty year olds. It's like convincing yourself that you're good looking by hanging out in a leper colony.
The Super Bowl half-time show is going to suck no matter who they pick. They should just pick whoever the hottest teen pop chick is that year and have her shake her ass in front of the camera while she lip-syncs to her shitty number one hit. The kiddies get the music they like and us old men get to look at some titties. Everybody wins. [Reply]
Glad some people will like it, luckily halftime shows are relatively easy to ignore. They will have their cute fake crowds jumping in front of the stage to try and up the excitement, which just hurts for me to watch no matter the act. Pet peeve I guess. [Reply]

I thought the same but the amount of people who complained when they had Beyonce was much higher than I anticipated. [Reply]

The fact is not everyone likes the same stuff, I’m sure there is a music genre and artists you’re simply not a fan of… and that’s fine, you should be able to express that view without everyone shitting on you [Reply]

Surely. I don't care about any of this so I'm not invested anyway. They could bring in a country star, pop star, rap star, rock star.. fuck, they could bring in a Malaysian opera singer and I wouldn't give two shits.
I think the key here is that those who bring the criticism are opening themselves up to the negativity.
Take this thread for instance. Those experiencing the biggest backlash aren't the guys who say "Eh, I was hoping they might bring in a rock show this time", it's the ones who say shit like "This is the cRAPpiest show yet", "Rap is easily the least popular genre! WTF are they thinking!?", "None of these people have any talent", etc. [Reply]

He's got his following. Im not much of a Kendrick guy myself, but i got a few of his tracks on my spotify. But he is the face of the current west coast rap scene.
Im more of a YG guy. I like rock loud, fast and heavy. I like my rap to be gangster with same glass shaking beats. This shit with some knockin' subs is where it's at.
