Dr Dre was joined by an all-star cast of hip-hop royalty for a nostalgic Super Bowl half-time show in California - with the performance seen as a love letter to black history in Los Angeles.

Dre's proteges Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent were joined by Kendrick Lamar and R&B queen Mary J Blige for the show at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

Dre and Snoop opened the show with the Next Episode, which was performed on top of a mock-up community housing project with low-riding cars.

It was followed by the west coast rap anthem California Love, with Dre rapping the lyrics that had originally been delivered by the late Tupac Shakur..

50 Cent then made a surprise appearance as he opened his hit In Da Club while hanging upside down from part of the set - a callback to the music video for the track that was released in 2003.

Mary J Blige followed, showing off her vocal range as she performed alongside slickly choreographed dancers in sparkling one-piece costumes.

Lamar then took to the stage with his own group of dancers who were dressed in all-black suits, wearing sashes reading "Dre Day".
