Everyone’s making the same, hilarious meme out of Dr. Dre’s piano playing at the Super Bowl halftime show

Cue the Vanessa Carlton.

The Super Bowl 56 halftime show had so many awesome, memorable moments, including the 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak guest appearances and the set that had so much good music.

That included Dr. Dre sitting down at a big piano and playing the tune sampled on 2Pac’s I Ain’t Mad at Cha, a homage to the all-time great, before he went into the hook we all love for Still D.R.E.

But Twitter can’t stop making memes out of the performance — sorry, 50 Cent, but you seem to be laughing too — and the same went for this moment, with people editing it with … a different song entirely.

Wow. I have no words.

Watch: Full Super Bowl 56 halftime show starring rap, hip-hop legends

Enjoy the legends of rap and hip-hop as they stunned at halftime of Super Bowl 56

The halftime show of Super Bowl 56 provided tons of entertainment for those at SoFi Stadium and the viewing audience at home.

The stage was amazing. The choreography was stunning. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Eminem lit it up.

You can check the performance out on the video below.

Bengals kicker Evan McPherson stayed on the field to watch the Super Bowl 56 halftime show

McPherson watched Dr. Dre live while the rest of his team was in the locker room.

Most of the Cincinnati Bengals retreated to the locker room at halftime to discuss their second half strategy for Super Bowl 56. Not kicker Evan McPherson.

The rookie, who’d been responsible for four of his team’s points as it trailed the Los Angeles Rams 13-10 at the half, remained on the field to take in the dulcet tones of Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. In the process, he soaked up one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows in history.

It’s not unusual to see special teamers leave the locker room early to return to the field for warm-ups — especially at the Super Bowl, whose extra large halftime show leaves room for a bigger break than usual. This postseason alone we’ve seen 49ers veteran Robbie Gould sequester himself from his team to take some extra kicks during pregame activities.

But the specialists in those situations were actually kicking. McPherson, on the other hand, was mostly invested in enjoying the hottest beats of the late 1990s (he was -7 years old when Dr. Dre’s The Chronic came out).

McPherson’s been able to rise to the moment all year. He kicked more 50+ yard field goals than anyone in 2021. He’s connected on all 14 of his field goal attempts in the playoffs, including one in the first five minutes of the third quarter Sunday. He’s been a vital piece of Cincinnati’s run to Super Bowl 56.

So if anyone deserved to see Dre and Snoop live — and who probably didn’t need too much strategic advice at halftime besides “keep kicking it straight” — it was the rookie kicker in tiger stripes.

Super Bowl halftime show review: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar had a show-stopping homecoming

That was one of my favorite Super Bowl halftime shows ever.

For a Super Bowl halftime performance in Los Angeles, it was only fitting for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar to dominate the stage.

This was a show designed for television, and it told an incredibly compelling story for those who were tuning in.

With this performance, Dr. Dre flexed his influence on not only the city of Los Angeles but also on music as a whole. He played an instrumental role in bringing many of these artists into our life, helping to not only discover their talent but to popularize them as well.

It was such a nice reminder that after all these years, Andre Young is Still D.R.E. and we never should have forgotten about Dre. It’s Dre’s world and we are just living in it.

50 Cent paid homage to an old MTV video with his surprise performance for the Super Bowl Halftime Show

What. A. Halftime show.

This was one of the most fun Super Bowl halftime performances I can remember.

First of all, anytime you get Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar on the same stage it’s going to be an incredible show. Oh, and Eminem, too.

But the show immediately took a left turn when 50 Cent seemingly popped up out of nowhere to perform “In Da Club” as part of the Super Bowl’s first-ever hip-hop halftime show.

And it wasn’t even that he just appeared, y’all. This man appeared on the ceiling of a room like he was in the original video. It was absolutely bonkers. What an entrance.

In the OG G-Unit tank top, too?!? Nah, take me back to 2003 fam. This was excellent. Fans were so hype. They said my guy came in like Spider-Man.

Snoop Dogg promete en español un show ‘magnífico’ en el Super Bowl

El show ‘Será magnífico’ dijo Snoop Dogg en español cuando le preguntaron su opinión del medio tiempo del Super Bowl

Los aficionados al hip hop se encuentran muy emocionados con el show del medio tiempo del Super Bowl LVI en el SoFi Stadium de Los Angeles.

Este día se realizó la conferencia de prensa con los artistas invitados para el show de medio tiempo, y con la presencia de Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre y Mary J. Blige se dio el banderazo inicial de lo que prometieron será un show épico y la NFL se arrepentirá de no haberlos invitado antes.

El show ‘Será magnífico’ dijo Snoop Dogg en español cuando le preguntaron su opinión del evento. Un detalle muy curioso que sin duda fue con dedicatoria a sus fanáticos mexicanos.

El conocido rapero ha externado su pasión por la cultura y gastronomía mexicana, incluso ya grabó una canción con la Banda MS lo que lo hizo conectar aún más con sus seguidores en México.

Super Bowl: Dr. Dre llama a los grandes del Rap a lo Gambito de Dama

El trailer no pudo ser más épico en un video de más de tres minutos donde la NFL presentó a los cinco grandes del Rap para el medio tiempo

La NFL presentó el trailer del show del medio tiempo del Super Bowl LVI al que denominó “El más épico y lleno de estrellas, show de medio tiempo” que se podrá disfrutar en el entretiempo en el SoFi Stadium a las afueras de Los Angeles.

El trailer no pudo ser más épico en un video de más de tres minutos de duración donde el director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) realizó una composición magistral mezclando elementos de series o películas con los protagonistas de “The Call” el nombre del show de este medio tiempo que tendrá mucho rap y hip-hop en sus altavoces.

Primero Eminem simula una batalla de rap con su alter ego Slim Shady al estilo de Una Mente Brillante con Rap God sonando de fondo. Después Snoop Dog aparece a bordo de low riders por el centro de Los Angeles cantando The Next Episode.

Mary J. Blige recrea el glamour de una pasarela mientras se escucha Family Affair y posteriormente aparece Kendrick Lamar escribiendo versos mientras suena una canción de su nueva producción.

Todos los artistas recibieron en algún punto un mensaje de Dr. Dre quien finalmente los cita en el SoFi Stadium mientras movía piezas de ajedrez al estilo Gambito de Dama en una mezcla muy interesante visualmente de piezas con el centro de Los Angeles.

Cuando todos los artistas llegan al SoFi Stadium, los cinco grandes caminan rumbo al show mientras suena California Love de Tupac Shakur.
