You may believe that the Grammys are dumb, but a few brief minutes during the Feb. 15 telecast were actually worth your time.
Kendrick Lamar performed at the Grammys originally entering the stage wearing chains, with four black dancers trailing behind him.
The Grammys nominated Lamar in 11 categories at this year's ceremony, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. "I want to win them all," he told Billboard "It’s bigger than me. When we think about the Grammys, only Lauryn Hill and Outkast have won Album of the Year. This would be big for hip-hop culture at large."
Actor Don Cheadle introduced Lamar, calling "To Pimp a Butterfly" a "hip-hop masterpiece."
Lamar's performance included
renditions of "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright" (notably leaving
out the line "we hate popo"). Still, Lamar's time on stage was not
without a message. The backup dancers infused elements of African
traditional dance into the performance and as Lamar finished with a fury
of verses, the lights dimmed and a large image of Africa appeared,
emblazoned with the word Compton.
Adele performed after Lamar and ended her time by saying, "Kendrick, you're amazing."
Lamar also performed at the 56th annual Grammy Awards in 2014, where
he was joined by Imagine Dragons -- arguably a breakout performance for
Lamar, as his celebrity rose to a mass audience. Rolling Stone
called the performance "jaw-dropping"; Taylor Swift was visibly dancing
in the front row. Though the performance garnered praise from fans, it
wasn't necessarily critically popular. "This is a performance that
critics generally hated and regular people generally love
