NFL released three trailers depicting a pep rally featuring Lil Wayne, Saweetie, and Pusha T. with "Still D.R.E." by Dr. Dre playing in the background.

The 2022 NFL kickoff game is slated on Sept. 8, 8:20 p.m. at SoFi Stadium. Buffalo Bills will come head-t-head with the Los Angeles Rams.

This is to tribute to the iconic Superbowl Halftime performance the previous year, which featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.

Last year's halftime show was a major success, earning a nod from the Emmy Awards. It was reportedly the first time the halftime show ever won a top program Emmy, too.

Because of this, this year's lineup has to step up their game if they want to follow.

Lil Wayne was seen celebrating and throwing shirts into the crowd at the teaser, a clip he shared on his Instagram account, which he captioned with "Locked and loaded for the NFL season baby!!! #Kickoff2022."

'It Feels Good To Football'

The ad's synopsis explained the story behind the exciting teaser, "the joy and excitement that comes with the start of the season [...] the sentiment of fans and players in one monumental celebration to officially welcome back football."

The 15-second teaser also included a little cameo from a player, too. Perhaps hawk-eyed fans can spot DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks playing the piano.

Rapper Young Dylan, TikTok personality Frankie LaPenna, NFL players Derwin James, Cam Jordan, boxer Ryan Garcia, and Bills member Pinto Ron also played a cameo part in the teaser.

Some NFL and hip-hop fans are hyped for the start of the season. "I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!" A fan commented.

"I can't wait for [the 2022] NFL regular season to see what can Zach Wilson or Joe Flaco and see where they are," another added.

While some are less enthused with the teasers. "Why did we need this promo?" A user commented.

"Worst kickoff I've ever seen," another commented.
