For the first time ever in NFL history, five of hip-hop’s most celebrated stars will be joining forces for the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show in California’s SoFi Stadium, for one of music’s most anticipated live performances of all time. Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige’s catalogs have all withstood the test of time. All five artists have cemented their place as legends, collectively dropping 22 No. 1 albums and being awarded 43 Grammy’s in total. 

Sports fans and music lovers alike have been placing their bets on a bevy of categories, from the results of the opening coin toss to whether or not Snoop Dogg will light up a blunt on stage. Most notably, hip-hop fans are placing their own prop bets on what songs will be played during the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. 

With five hip-hop-heavy hitters slated to blaze the stage, everyone wants to know who will open the show, what tracks will be played, and what song will be the closing number. Here are some of the most interesting takes and our opinion on how the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show will pan out. 

Eminem

How many songs will be performed?

Over 7.5 -140

Under 7.5. -110

Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg team up at this year's Super Bowl as if they were the Hip-Hop Avengers. Each one of the artists are all superstars in their own right, the ensemble of rap legends collectively have countless hit records and timeless tracks to do a two-day festival. But the question is: What songs will be performed? Mary J. Blige recently revealed that the entire set spans for about 12-minutes, giving each artist about 2 and a half minutes to do their thing.

Dr. Dre
#4

First song played during halftime show

"California Love" +270

"Family Affair" +500

"The Next Episode" +550

Legendary producer and pioneer of the West Cost's G-Funk sound, Dr. Dre has signed and mentored almost every artist on this year's Halftime show bill. As the de facto headliner of the show, it is likely that one of Dr. Dre's classic anthems will be the opening number of the mini-concert.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre
#3

Last song played during halftime show

"California Love" +165

"The Next Episode" +550

"Lose Yourself" +550

Again, this is Dr. Dre's big night. A hometown hero performing on the biggest stage of his life with his most successful successors, he's sure to end his set with a bang. Gamblers once again place their bets on his iconic "California Love," but classics like "The Next Episode," and Eminem's "Lose Yourself," will also make for a helluva grand finale.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

Will Snoop Light A Blunt on Stage?

Yes +200
No -250

Uncle Snoop is undoubtedly America's favorite pothead. Throughout his prolific career, the LBC legend's brand has been synonymous with weed, making him the most famous stoner in the world in the process. But fans want to know: Will Snoop light up the indo on stage?

Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar
#1

Will a new song be performed by any of the artists during the halftime show?

Yes +350
No -600

Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre are both set to drop highly anticipated albums this year. Dre recently released six new singles from his collaboration with Grand Theft Auto Online to streaming services, just a week before his big performance. In 2021, Kendrick Lamar announced he will be releasing his final album with TDE after 13 years with the label. The emcee scored two hit singles last year as he featured on his younger cousin and protege's "range brothers" and "family ties." With two of the hometown heroes dropping high-profile albums this year it's likely we will get a couple of new tunes.
