With rap revolutionizers old and new making up a stacked ticket for Super Bowl LVI’s halftime show, Elbie Wright says she was compelled to share her desire for performers—Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar, specifically—to shout out her father and former leader of N.W.A., Eazy-E, on stage.
Eazy-E would have been an integral part of such a memorable, hip hop line-up if he were alive, according to Elbie, even despite the friction that previously existed between N.W.A. members.
The late rapper’s daughter says Eazy-E “broke barriers and revolutionized gangsta rap…paving the way for so many other rappers,” some of the most notable—Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige—set to perform in February during one of the most-watched sporting events in the United States.
