      1. I agree. After this, everything else was still awesome, but (blah!) compared to this performance. I guess they know if they a performance like this again, this should be last or second to last. This took it home!

    1. If you listen to his verse in Radioactive you can hear him sneak a line in that isn’t in the official remix. At the end he says, “drown in a bottle of Hennessy with no amenity I’m getting peddled with yall”. In the original he says “…fuck your amenities I’m getting better with time”. I think he was trying to say these Grammy awards that we’re all watching is just peddling us materialistic bullshit. The Grammys of course being just one part of the conglomerate media that pulls the wool over our eyes.

    2. That was perfection. I was bobbing my head and didn’t even realize it. Gave me the chills. It is hard to even put it in words how good that was. You know, outside of perfection.

    3. damn Kendrick’s come so far. Shouts out to the real niggas that been with him since OD.

      didn’t watch the grammy’s cuz they’re gay but I’m assuming kdot won best rap album, if not. lol………..

    4. epic performance. best hip hop album since before 1995, so yes, he was robbed, but we are still blessed with a classic album.

    5. straight ass. this performance is straight making a mockery of the grammies as if macklemore winning the heist wasnt enough they gotta let this mess occur on stage.

    6. OK IT’S CLEAR THAT WHITE PPL JUST SEE RAP AS A JOKE AND THIS PERFORMANCE IS PROVING IT. THIS SET BACK BLACK PEOPLE AT LEAST 200 YEARS.

      1. your the type of dude to say “I seen a black guy with a flat tire and no spare. this set black people back 200 years.”

      2. LOL get the fuck out of here…

        Macklemore beating out Kendrick for best rap album set HIP-HOP (not just black people) back some years. I think that’s pretty much agreed by everyone at this point.

        But this performance was GREAT for hip-hop. Many people watching the Grammy’s probably still had no idea who Kendrick was, and DEFINITELY have never heard a young man rhyme with that much passion & feeling.

    7. They knew what they needed to do and they executed it. So glad i witnessed this moment in music as it happened.

    8. LOL and you dickriding K-Dot fans who keep perpetrating he is true hiphop can see how fast he’ll water himself down.

      This was awful. Congrats K-Dot, one step closer to being a corporate b1tch.

      1. yeah he should have said fuck the grammys and stayed home in his PJ’s, instead of exposing millions of people all over the world to his music.

        not a lot of kids from Compton get opportunities like this.

    9. The absolute best performance of the night. Had me on my feet the whole time – I know I lost about ten pounds!!!!

    10. ahhh shit that was fluid as fuck Kdot and Imagine dragons now thats dope Now I dunno about you but I’d be totally interested in collab

    11. im trying to figure out how this not a 5 by everybody. this shit raw AF. then for KDot to do that song at the grammies and pull it off. fucking right

    12. This guy Kendrick NEVER lets me down. What a performance. A damn shame they robbed him of best hip hop album of the year.

    13. Not a crazy k.dot fan but that was epic. The gkmc lyrics painted a picture of his hard Compton childhood and the Rocknroll is a release of anger. Both categories are the blacksheep in the music industry,it sounds great together. No black or white thing, it’s a music thing.

      1. this is just cause he cant say most of his shit cause they want it to be “family friendly” ive seen him live before and i can say he is fucking sick live

    14. It is the nicest way to earn more and more money at home.$40h – $90h…how? part time or full time,I’ve been bringing in $82h It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,www.Works6.com

    15. uptil I looked at the check that said $5477 , I have faith …that…my neighbours mother could actualey bringing in money in there spare time from their laptop. . there sisters neighbour had bean doing this 4 only twenty one months and resantly took care of the mortgage on their villa and bought a great Acura . hop over to here… http://www.Fb39.Com

      This and Queens of the stone age with trent rezor, dave grohl and the fleetwood mac girl

    16. EPIC!

      For all of you hating on this…….please loosen up your bra aaaahh i mean backpacks. its squeezing your tits too tight.

    17. Oh my Fuckin’ God!!!! Damn that was probably the best Kendrick performance I have seen!! Ya, im not a huge fan of Radioactive, but fuck man, they killed that song and murdered every aspect of the stage, everything was dope about it. Fan of the remix for sure now 🙂

    18. Anyone else notice the pyrotechnics that resemble a potleaf right at the end? (its to the right of the perfomers)

      5 leaf tips!…

    19. fucking incredible performance…it almost brought a tear to my eye seeing Kendrick at this level, with this type of passion, after following him for so long and seeing his rise.

      remember this…

      the words “IF PIRUS AND CRIPS ALL GOT ALONG, THEY’D PROBABLY GUN ME DOWN BY THE END OF THIS SONG” was aired at the fucking GRAMMYS to 29 MILLION people.

      I’m actually really surprised they let him do that song, and didn’t just force him to perform ‘Swimming Pools’

    20. man only thing that would of made this performance better, if Lebron would of came out of no where and dunk a ball.. and said west up dre lmao .. man aint no new nigga fukin with K-Dot!

      1. They had some country chick who was like whisper-singing over some minimalist instrumentals LOL. Didn’t even cut to adds before it either.

    21. Im making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, http://WWW.Works6.CoM

      1. Wow, i feel sorry for whoever raised your racist ass. Kendrick was GREAT and Imagine Dragons were GREAT and together they put on the best performance of the night, hands down! You should kill yourself

    22. This performance was absolutely dope. The single is dope. Kendrick deserved every bit of best rap album of the year. If not that then best album of the year. K Dot will return to the Grammys though. Don’t worry.

      1. Did you here? As you know Macklemore won, but after the Grammy’s, Macklemore texted Kendrick saying that you were robbed and you should have won.

    23. MANE THIS IS WEAK AS FUCK, YALL KNOW THIS AINT RIGHT, LAME SHIT MY NIQQA STEP YO GAME UP ON THE REAL THIS SOME ROCK SHIT MY G RESPECT THE CULTURE KEEP IT BLAQ AND RAP

    24. When i first heard these 2 were performing together I was like, oh no. Not cool.
      Upon watchin it they did an excellent job of merging the 2 songs together.
      Very cool. I thought I had heard that fkn radioactive shit too many times already. Not a bad song just over played, but they really nailed this one. It was kind of loose and messed up at parts but that is what made it human and real. You could tell that they were all having a good time and the crowd enjoyed it. In my useless opinion the best part was when Kendrick went off near the end with the new material not in the original GKMC song. Good job.
      p.s. GKMC didn’t win because it simply was too good for the Grammys. Not commercial enough and if it were it would have probably sucked and sounded like an eminem album. It was too real and violent of an album and above all them white guys heads….
      Shitty rap wins Grammys. Look at the past. All of Kanyes early records( with exception to MBDTF which actually deserved it) and all of them disposable Eminem records and Stankonia won, I know which is an exception… kind of
      Stank wasn’t shitty by any means but it was their most commercial to date with all of those pop crossover its like jackson and so fresh. It was good but wasn’t no aquemini. And Stankonia was by far better than it’s opponents like blueprint ja rule and luda. It sold more too. hmmnn..
      in all actuality most of the nominations arent even the highly revered classic an great rap albums anyway. It should just be called the most commercial and white rap Grammy.
      in 07 there is no way in hell that BFTFT Ludas crap hop album was better than Fiasco’s F and L and Game theory.
      I’m not even a Jay Z rider but Holy Grail was the best real rap album nominated but not enough singles to win which in essence is why it was so good. Yeezus was probably most important but way too hardcore for the asses i mean masses. Hell Yeezus should have won best rock album in reality it was harder than any of that shit.
      An last year fake drake beat out undun wait 10 years and give those albums a listen and see which one still hold up. Same with 2010 whem Em beat out The Roots then.

      1. you really tryin to say that Em didn’t deserve grammys for SSLP, MMLP, and Eminem Show? Cuz thats ridiculous MMLP got ROBBED of the straight up album of the year period, just like college dropout did.

        GKMC shouldve won rap album of the year easily. But you lost me with that “above these white guys heads” shit. Just ignorant, racist, and dumb.

    28. Astounded! Kendrick can do anything! Imagine Dragons were incredible as well. Don’t see how you can’t rate this a perfect 5!!

    29. Awesome performance ….I really hope they release this performance or go into to the studio to record this performance on a mini album

    30. i love the build up with kendrick’s verse. i had this smile on my face and it grew and grew until it exploded into head banging lol my mind was blown away!

    31. Almost a week after the Grammy award show & I’m still back in here watching this performance. It’s like a B12 shot every time I see it.
