Hip-Hop was in the house at the 2026 Grammy Awards as the Clipse, Tyler, The Creator and Lauryn Hill all delivered show-stopping performances on Music’s Biggest Night.
Tyler, who won Best Album Cover and was nominated for a further five awards, brought his two most recent albums, Chromakopia and Don’t Tap the Glass, to life inside Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena with a typically theatrical medley that proved why he’s one of rap’s greatest showmen.
The Hawthorne, California native kicked things off with a high-energy rendition of “Thought I Was Dead” while rocking his military-style Chromakopia outfit and mask.
As his set segued into a lush interlude version of “Like Him,” legendary actress Regina King joined Tyler on stage to play the role of his mom and give the multi-hyphenate rapper a motivational speech — just as the real-life version does throughout Chromakopia.
Tyler then switched gears to his Don’t Tap the Glass era, complete with his red leather threads and matching Ferrari, which he crashed into his Chromakopia character (a metaphor for that phase of his career being officially over?).
Backed by a gas station backdrop, Tyler closed things out with the sexually-charged “Sugar On My Tongue,” full of Michael Jackson-esque dance moves and an explosive finale.
Later during the ceremony, Lauryn Hill made her first Grammys appearance in 27 years to lead an all-star tribute to D’Angelo and Roberta Flack, both of whom tragically passed away last year.
“D and I never got to do this on stage together. Make time for people you love while you can,” the Fugees legend urged the audience before performing their beautiful 1998 collaboration “Nothing Even Matters” with D’Angelo’s band, The Vanguard.
Channeling the late R&B icon, Lucky Daye sprinkled some “Brown Sugar” on Music’s Biggest Night, former D’Angelo collaborators Raphael Saadiq and Anthony Hamilton joined forces to perform “Lady” and Leon Thomas, who won Best R&B Album and Best Traditional R&B Performance, served up a slice of “Devil’s Pie.”
Arguably the best D’Angelo impression came courtesy of Bilal, who put his seasoned falsetto to good use to deliver a sensual yet spiritual rendition of “Untitled (How Does It Feel).”
The posthumous spotlight then shifted to Roberta Flack, with Lauryn Hill performing a stirring cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” proving she’s still a natural talent in front of the mic.
From there, Leon Bridges, Jon Batiste, October London, Lalah Hathaway, John Legend and Chaka Khan hit the stage to do justice to other Flack classics like “Compared to What,” “The Closer I Get to You” and “Where is the Love.”
Another highlight of the night was Lauryn Hill reuniting with Wyclef Jean for a medley of Flack’s 1973 hit “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and the Fugees’ own version, which became an international smash in its own right in the mid ’90s.
Closing out the 2026 Grammys, the Clipse put a bow on Music’s Biggest Night with a statement performance of “So Far Ahead” that blended Christian gospel and coke rap.
The duo’s Let God Sort Em Out co-conspirator Pharrell opened the sermon with his heavenly chorus, backed by the Voices of Fire choir, before Pusha T and Malice blessed the congregration with their reflective, razor-sharp verses.
The Clipse’s debut performance at the Grammys then ended in the most perfect way possible: with fake snow falling from the sky as Push and P stunted on ’em in a mink coats.
The performance was the icing on the cake for the Virginia Beach brothers, who earlier in the night won their first-ever Grammy for Best Rap Performance thanks to “Chains & Whips,” their blistering, bars-heavy collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.
lauryn hill can actually do a show………………. while looking like an al qaeda detainee out of abu gharib

No talent thats why and Pusha was busy with Harvey Weinstein. Forget Meek and Diddy its about Jay, Push, and Harv
Drake was too busy chasing preteen girls at his concerts and getting peed on by his homeboy to go to island. It was more convenient for him that way. Ironically they’re both ✡️ so they’re already birds of a feather that could definitely chase little girls together. 😂
Yeah bad look after they were in the Epstein files.
You’re still mad that your dad abandoned you on Christmas so he could spend time with his boyfriend instead of you as a kid. Get over it already and stop projecting your animosity towards others because of your resentment.
Yeah no bot you mad your idols not what you thought?
No idol, just artists that make good music that not created to appease lil girls, gays, simps, and beta males like Drake does. (who doesn’t even write his own lyrics) Also so you not denying that you’re dad abandoned you lol.
Apparently the thing Drake held back on in his beef with Pusha T was the Epstein stuff.
Praise the Epstein list. Should have arrested all of them there
No one calling out Pusha for getting in bed with Harvey Weinstein looks even worse after Kendrick dissed Drake. Pusha should be sharing a cell with Harvey not Drake.
Lo – Didn’t read the files just going off headlines like a gossipy little bitch. Ignore the f@990t
Pusha the one who should share a cell with Harvey Weinstein not Drake. Pusha shared beds with Harvey. Bad look on Kenny
Well he talks about Drake but worships Dre and was signed to him a crossdressing, woman beating, deadbeat dad. Then worked with Carti pretty much the same except old heads hate him and love Kendrick for being a “real rapper”. Now the Jay and Pusha stuff, add on all the companies Kendrick works with, running from Joey, marrying a white girl, and living in NYC pretending to be Mr west coast
You’re trying too hard Gay Greg… Stfu and put the fries in the bag little bitch 😂
Anonymous – Didn’t read the files just going off headlines like a gossipy little bitch. Still mad his favorite rapper lost.
Horrible no good rappers are there or artists. No Ye, Lil Wayne, Carti, NBA YoungBoy, Travis, DaBaby, EST Gee, Lil Baby, Future, Chief Keef, Kevin Gates, Don Toliver, Lil Tecca, Uzi, Nicki Minaj, Boosie, Kodak, Yungeen Ace, 1900, Tee Grizzley, Big X, none of them here and not welcome because this is for the rainbow gang.
Durk won a grammy then they locked him up
Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy, Lil Pump, Smokepurpp, ITSOKToCry, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, August Alsina, all talented people the real ones are not welcome just people like streamer guy max, kendrick, doechii, pusha, pharrell, and tyler you see the pattern
My dad locked me up in the basement once and made me take turns sucking off my uncles.
Epstein guys all in attendance
These guys got down with Epstein and Weinstein all while Tyler got down with Diddy.
I got down with my boyfriend’s brother last night.
All on the Epstein list now all these morons coping and lying for them saying its fake but when it was Trump it was real? Yeah no. Jay Z, Eminem, Pusha T, all of them guilty.
Even Anonymous’s Grandma is on the Epstein list. (Since he doesn’t have a mom, just two dads)
Why is this praised Pharrell not paying his guy and Pusha is on the Epstein list buddied with Weinstein. Why 50 not clowning is it because Eminem?
Why do y’all keep spamming this site with the same shit. This is why other countries are laughing at us.
