DAMN. Kendrick Lamar opened the 2018 GRAMMYs with a powerful and political performance of his hit, "XXX.'"
The rapper featured an army of face-covered soldiers marching in the background of an American flag, that quickly turned into a "satire" taking a jab at the current political climate in the United States.
Bono joined the rapper for their duet of "XXX" and in the middle of Kendrick's rap, the camera quickly turned off to the side of the stage where Dave Chappelle delivered a powerful statement, telling viewers, "I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America."
Lamar is no stranger to using his voice and songs to address the current political climate in the United States. "XXX" references the gun violence and police brutality against the black community in America.
The powerful performance ended with the soldiers each falling to the ground one by one as sounds of gunshots were heard.

I’m watching “Shark Tank” while I’m working on the computer.
Then I’m going back to the “Decades” channel for “The Rookies” weekend binge.
Never heard of the bum.
If you really want to barf, wait until March 4th when that fool Jimmy Kimmel hosts the Oscars.
I had a previous engagement doing my dirty laundry and cleaning the toilet.
What the blank are: “The Grammys”?
Fixed it.
Now, THAT is some good TV!
Tried watching because traditionally there are some really great performances. This time it’s few and far between. 2/3 are politically charged idiocy. Finally just turned it off when they began promoting Fire and Fury. What a dopey group of dumb people.
I was flipping through channels just now and noticed the Grammy show was showing a “spoken word” reading from the new Trump smear job book. John Legend, Cher and then I turned it off. Only took a minute of watching to see them they are totally insane with TDS hate. These people are mentally ill.
Not interested in this crap.
Who won?
My cat needed a bikini wax.
He didn’t like it
I wonder if that honesty includes assisting police with information of violent crimes in inner cities.
I heard they gave air time to Her Hellness, Hillary F. Clinton reading from the fictional book Fire and fury, the one that made up stuff about Trump. Yes, because when all is said and done, nothing is more important that kissing the arse of the matriarch of the Clinton crime family.
There was a few more idiots they had reading from that fake book ending with their hero Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Lamar might want to move back to his African sh*thole if he hates the U.S. that much. If he doesn’t want to move to a country run by black people, there is always North Korea.
feh...
I was watching ncis la reruns too.
There is very little time left to save the country; when America falls the world will go into Chaos. The Grammy’s won’t mean a thing when everyone at that event has been slaughtered by the sons of Ishmael. Moral and sexual deviants now rule the culture, and their contempt for the Holy One and his Torah is expressed with intense passion and fury. They will not hesitate to murder the “deplorables” who get in their way. Get Ready Israel, the time is at hand.
