LL Cool J says “Kendrick Lamar’s gonna do something very controversial,” during the Grammys.
While speaking with Studio Wrap, Grammy Awards host LL Cool J offered a few details about the performances planned for the annual music awards show, which will air tomorrow (February 14).
“I think people are in for a spectacular show,” LL Cool J said. “Kendrick Lamar’s gonna do something very controversial. And that’s what art is about, right? It’s not about whether you agree or disagree. It’s about it stimulating conversation and provoking people to have conversations about society. And if that’s what you want your art to do as an artist, if that’s the lane you choose, you’re accomplishing something if people talk about what you’re doing. So, it’s gonna be amazing.”
In addition to speaking on the Grammys, LL revealed that he’s been in the studio working on new music with producer Jim Jonsin.
“Of course,” he said when asked about surprise performances. “But they wouldn’t be surprises if I tell you…I been thinking about a new record. I actually been in the studio with Jim Jonsin…It’s gonna be right. Me and Jim putting the work in.”

why does every performance gotta be “controversial” now? cant niccas just make music and have fun?
like LL said art is about stimulating conversation, particularly the shit people don’t like to talk about. I think that’s an important part of any art form.
then its not about racismn cuz ppl talk bout that all day already
I never said it was about racism and I have no idea what it’s gonna be about
I know iam able to read 😉 i only replied to you because u had the most neutral comment. the other comments said to 99% something racist.
why does everything have to be about black people these days, beyonce ruins a festive with racist black panther bullshit. i bet kendrick will do the same to the grammys. theres a time and place for everything and this is not that.
Sucks being on the other side, don’t it?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
SHUT YO ASS DOWN
#BLCKPOWR
Yeah I’m guessing you get it so rough… Not jumping on the bandwagon at all are we?
You really are an idiot. Being black is only bandwagon to those who can chose what parts of our culture they want to exploit. I wake up with black reality everyday youngin. I wouldn’t expect you to understand that.
Anyone who thinks the Black Panthers are racists should do their research and realize why they were first formed and that they’re not a hate group. They didn’t go around killing/injuring white people like the KKK did to black people. Pro-black doesn’t mean anti-white.
MY NIGGA OVER HERE PREACHIN
So in other words, you take it upon yourself to accuse other races of ‘exploiting’ YOUR culture. You’re right i don’t understand, please explain this ‘black reality’… is it the same as every other races modern ‘reality’ or is it more important now? Even though we’re further than we’ve ever been to getting past hateful racism.
Hope it’s none of that black lives matter/pro black bullshit agenda.. Just make that ghetto gangsta rachet drive by nigga nigga nigga music
Bet you $1 MIL your white :p

boycott the grammies for letting Kendrick spill some more hate and segregation.
Fuck you bitch Kendrick Lamar is not a racist he is supporting his people!
Where do you get hate and segregation from this article?
Kendrick is not a racist!
$20 dollars its going to be some anti- white. racist performance i can almost guarntee it.
kendricks turning into a racist, and its only ‘art’ and ‘stimulating’ when its not a white man behind the words.
You really are a dumb white kid.
Not a lot people won’t get the concept, if they actually take their time and listen to it and understand what his songs are really saying, then they will know
Just reading these comments makes me hope kendrick comes out dressed like a Zulu warrior with white severed heads on spears…fuck yall…these fucking white artist perform wrapped in the rebel flag allllllll the time..you stupid fucks were up in arms about that hate drenched flag being taken away and you wanna talk shit bout beyonce dressing like a black panther?…eat a dick.
Like someone said, you should read into the Panthers and why they exist.
so at a time when america is lowering its ‘racist’ flags and practically bending over back people to get blackppl to stop crying you guys suddenly want to bring the black panthers back in 2016 lol ok
You guys can’t be serious, Kendrick is a racist now? Lmao hahaha. Had to laugh my ass off at that notion. You guys are ridiculously butt hurt. It’s beyond comical at this point
Shoulda just let Drizzaveli perform “Back to Back” and “Summer Sixteen”, SMH. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
LL leaking that better not have some censoring consequences or upper powers preventing it.
1) The Black Panthers were a group of educated young men. The group was formed in Oakland and In the East Coast to stop police Brutality. How is that a racists group? The cops just like today believe they have a right to just beat down black people for any crime. We are also guilty until proven innocent. The problems with racism it started with the White mans need to conquer people of color, with disease, war and genocide. I’m not saying white people today are doing this but you benefit from everything that was done to hold us back. Housing, medical, education, jobs & insurance are things that you guys take for granted that we could not have.
Lol at all these white tears why the hell are yall on a hip hop site stormfront is that way—->
Weve stood idly by while yall kill us fuck up the entire world with colonialism and imperialism put lead in our food posion 3d world countries with virus. Yall are mad because slowly but surely white dominance will come to an end and people are waking up besides why the fuck should we care how you feel when Trump, these police shootings, the beyonce backslash shows us how yall really feel about us for every non white i suggest you visit sites like stormfront or any white nationalist site and you will see how they really view us dont get fooled by the minority that like us the vast majority of whites hate us and would NOT piss on us if we were on fire, and if you need further prove look up what a sundown town is and the fact that we have 1000s of these in the states
Funny because I see white people crying about black folks all the time.
the same can be said in reverse. i can name 10 black sites where black ppl just talk shit non stop about white folks.. we just don’t cry about it all the day. we move on with our lives and work, don’t let people on the internet and what ppl say behind our backs effect our daily lives lol.
lol @ -would not piss on us- but dude, other than, that ur mad trippin.
