"Rap" and "Hip Hop" is music?

I would have enjoyed it. I will have to catch it on Youtube.

I was beyond overjoyed when Fiddy showed up!

I remember when rap/hip-hop was still in its early days back in the 80's. Used to rib the black guys I worked with about it back then. Run DMC was one of the more popular groups and I used to do my own "rhyme". "We're Run DMC and we'd like to rock! But we can't sing so we have to talk!"

Watched the halftime show and was wishing that I could have been the one running the sound board. Would have been able to hear the "singers" much better.

Sure, like "Pop" it is music from those with no discernable talent for those with no discernable taste.

Shouting words with no melody to them at all, to a synthesized drum beat really doesn't qualify as "music" IMHO. At best, it could be considered "spoken word poetry". At least "Pop" has a melody (usually).

Wth !? Snoop and m&m was going to pull the willies out during halftime show.

Was gonna post but don’t want hammer time.

But you can google it.

I know some on here don't watch Football, but for some reason I do...as to that I was rooting for the Rams, because I like Matt Stafford...he suffered through 12 years as a Detroit Lion...I always thought he was too good for them...this shows it! Anyway to the point of the Halftime show....am I the only one who didn't understand any of the words, or get any of the....ah....so called music?

No you were not.
I heard no real music. Maybe M&M as he had real musicians with him so that was close.
The rest was mindless and illegible.

I didn't watch any of the event. No game/commercials/half time show. With that said, I would have enjoyed it. If you didn't like it, it wasn't meant for you. It was meant for my generation. From the posts I've seen on FB, my age group loved the halftime show.

Edit to add:

I love music, especially lyrics. Could not understand one word they were singing. Whatever.

There were some amazing entrepreneurs on that stage, no matter your feelings on their music…

Indeed....and plenty of proof that PT Barnum was correct.

Like beat poetry of the 60s, with a little Alan Ginsberg for leavening?

I have more respect for rappers than most Pop stars, at least the rappers don't even pretend they can sing. Their "poetry" doesn't mean a whole lot to me but neither do the lyrics of Pop songs.

You are spelling 'entrepreneurs' 'escaped felons' aren't you?

With this bunch, the only rap comes from 'rap sheet'.

Anyone get the irony of the NFL paying Eminem to kneel for 60secs?

I'm an outlier.

Didn't watch a second of the SB for like the 5th straight year or so....was to busy watching Grit to care about that shi*show.
