You nikkas love handing over control talkin bout being mad at 3000 and shyt.

This nikka made his own hits, and ya'll want him to conform to some fukks in a suit saying "Well sing it like this, and cut this part, then do this!" all for some money?

nikka they had money, they weren't comin up they were at their peak. Big Boi aint broke selling beats and releasing albums on Datpiff and soundcloud. Both of those dudes are good.

These manufactured label rappers and artist who go in to the studio and have the raps written and recite them into the microphone over the prerecorded beats- those dudes are fine to go to the superbowl and have those fukks tell them what to sing, how to sing and what not.

You aren't getting any reputable names to cut their songs and do what they don't want to do IN ANY GENRE!!!!!

It's the NFL wisening up from a business perspective and realizing there's no other stage where an artist gets to perform in front of that many people at once. Look what it did for Missy Eliot. Also you can't force a market that ins't there. If labels are willing to pay then let them pay.
The Halftime show is the least watched part of the Super bowl

Oh, I didn't know this. How did you know that?.

If that true then I can understand why Andre 3000 refused to do this.
Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay have to pay to play at the 2015 Super Bowl

"The way this all works with the NFL is musical acts never receive any monetary compensation from the league to perform at halftime. Instead, they are paid in publicity. In return, artists consider this opportunity to capitalize on the incredible widespread exposure. Many musicians like Beyoncé and Bruno Mars had announced their tours after performing at the Superbowl in an effort to experience a spike in ticket sales."

Knew there had to be a reason for Big Boi to have stuck by 3000 so long, cause most nikkas would've been fed up by the 2nd album.
Even the sun goes down heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes why
Nothin' is for sure nothin' is for certain nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I Aquemini
