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.

One half of an iconic sports halftime show has died

If you’ve attended many basketball games, college or pro the last decade, there is a good chance you saw Mr. Maas’s memorable halftime show.

If you’re a college sports fan, specifically basketball, the name David Maas probably doesn’t ring a bell.

He didn’t lead a team to any Final Fours as a player or a coach and he wasn’t some inspirational walk-on that got to play a couple of seconds on Senior Day.

No, he wasn’t any of those things, but to anyone who has attended many college basketball games over the last decade-plus, there’s a good chance you saw Maas perform.

He wasn’t dribbling or dunking a basketball, but instead performaing as one-half of the “Quick Change” act that has entertained the masses at basketball games both professional and collegiately for years.

Maas, who made up one-half of the “Quick Change” act died on Sunday from COVID, according to the agency that represented him.

Maas and his wife Dania performed their “magical transformation” all over the world including London, Monte Carlo, and Japan just to name a few and the couple also helped teach Katy Perry their magic as she used it while performing the hit “Hot N Cold” years back.

Sports fans may not remember his name but they’ll certainly remember the performances Maas put on for them at countless games over the years.

That’s why upon news of his passing, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Xavier Muskateers, and Darren Rovell all shared their condolences and messages.

One of the professional caps I’ve worn included covering the Chicago Bulls for roughly two years.  It was a thrill when you heard that “Quick Change” was going to be the halftime entertainment because those nights you knew there’d be as much discussion in the media workroom asking, “how’d they do that?” as there would be a conversation of the actual game.

Rest easy, Mr. Maas.

And thanks for the great show.
