While Tupac didn’t have a hologram at the Super Bowl like he did during Dr. Dre’s Coachella set in 2012, the Beats by Dre founder still found a way to pay tribute to the hip-hop legend. Apart from performing “California Love” with Snoop Dogg, the rapper also played Tupac’s “I Ain’t Mad At Cha” on the piano.
Fans found this subtle tribute touching. “Am I the only one that lowkey teared up when Dre played I ain’t mad atcha on the piano? almost thought Tupac was gonna come out,” a fan tweeted. “I truly appreciated the ‘I Ain’t Mad At Cha’ keys before Dre played the ‘Still Dre’ intro…. Great 2Pac tribute,” tweeted another. “If you didn’t get goosebumps in the part where Dr. Dre played the piano with a surprise nod to Tupac, then bye,” another fan said.
Elsewhere in the set, 50 Cent performed “In Da Club,” Mary J. Blige took everyone on a trip down memory lane with “Family Affair” and “No More Drama,” Eminem had people rapping to “Lose Yourself,” and Kendrick Lamar did a passionate performance of “Alright.” As Dr. Dre said during the press conference, the halftime show was indeed “f****** incredible!”
