It was the Tam's Burgers 21 for me SuperBowl

NFL stars, Olympic talent and some fabulously dressed L.A. fans: Portraits from the SoFi Stadium party headlined by Usher.Locations like these have long figured into the lore of L.A. hip-hop. But as the area gentrifies — driven, in a major way, by the opening of SoFi Stadium — there’s concern that the city, as remembered through its classic rap lyrics, is disappearing. For its residents and rap fans, these landmarks remain a connection to musical history.

As Kendrick Lamar raps on “Element,” “I be hangin’ out at Tam’s, I be on Stockton / I don’t do it for the ‘Gram, I do it for Compton.” Even if the area’s skyline is now dominated by a multibillion-dollar stadium, a little burger joint like Tam’s keeps a sense of place. The Super Bowl halftime show set, with its representation of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in the foreground.
