Blige, and Kendrick Lamar for joining me in what will be an unforgettable cultural moment.”
When talking about the upcoming event, Jay-Z stated, “Dr. Dre, a musical visionary from Compton; Snoop Dogg, an icon from Long Beach; and Kendrick Lamar, a young musical pioneer in his own right, also from Compton; will take center field for a performance of a lifetime.They will be joined by the lyrical genius Eminem, and the timeless Queen, Mary J. Blige … This is history in the making.”
Vice president of marketing at Pepsi, Todd Kaplan, also added a few comments of his own: “Artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were at the forefront of the West Coast hip hop revolution, so to be able to bring them back to LA, where it all began alongside Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today.”
