I watched this live when it aired and I remember thinking Kendrick being such a great inclusion in the performance. But seeing the artist he’s become now this simply feels like a fever dream, it’s always great to be reminded. Also this is exactly why Kendrick is doing the SuperBowl Halftime Show just look at the passion and grit he gives during his raps truly one of the greatest to ever do Hip Hop!🐐🔥
So The Recording Academy has just been sitting on an uncensored, HD version of this for ten years and just now decides to release it? Anyway, it's absolutely amazing how Kendrick raps for at least 30 seconds straight with maybe five breaths.
One day people will get that Kendrick was both MJ and Prince like he puts as much into the artistry and entertainment value as both those legends did into their craft. I'll tell my kids this Piru from Compton was the rap goat of his era and one of the 5 greatest rappers ever. No bots necessary.
I watched this live and was going nuts!!! If you haven't been to a K Dot concert, and get an opportunity, please go. It is electric, breathtaking, nothing like it.
In retrospect, the decision to put Maad City before radioactive seems poetic. I don't know how to describe it in words. 😅 The first song embodied conflict, both internal and external. Then tension grew until it went nuclear-- BOOM: Radioactive.
You guys are a decade late in posting this. Nevertheless, I appreciate having the option of rewatching this fantastic performance in a clear, high-quality video. This is one of my favorite Grammys performances!
I haven’t watched the Grammys Live in years, only the performance videos on youtube but if they announce Kendrick to be a performer for 2025, I’ll be watching live for sure.
@minute 2:25 is exactly the reason why Kendrick Lamar is performing at the Superbowl this year. Jay Z is now the artistic director of the Superbowl since 2019 and he is hand picking the acts. Hov saw Dot in this performance and it's a no brainer. He can easily cross over to ALL audiences and powerful performance!
That year was the first (and only) time I've ever watched the Grammys and holy crap. I never really cared about Kendrick before that because I avoided radio music like the plague. I smoked and once Kendrick came on, I was blown away at his lyrical prowess. Maad City became one of my all time favorite tracks from then on and that's the only thing I even remember from that whole show.
I remember watching this. It was AMAZING! And the next act was some country western act that totally threw ice cold water on all of that energy. You can see that Tumbleweed restaurant-looking cactus coming up in the lower right corner. 🤣
This man is and always been on fire all the ovhoes now this jealousy is real with them but God has his hands on Kendrick he’s sticking to Gods assignment… King Kendrick the crown is heavy 👑
THIS IS WHY K-DOT IS PERFORMING AT SUPERBOWL 59!!!
Exactly
Took the Grammys long enough to post this legendary performance
Brooo right!!
This was an EPIC smashup/performance
But like it’s crazy cause this ain’t even one of his best performances
They're cashing in on the love that Kendrick Lamar is receiving from across the world after defeating Drake...
That transition from the m.A.A.d. city hook to the Radioactive chorus gives me chills every time. Every time.
Kendrick Lamar been HIM…some of yall just catching up!!🔥👑🥋🐐
Facts 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Exactly! 💪🏾😌
Period
Period!! I still remember watching this performance live. I was in awe!
Yesss sirrrr!
Finally no more having to bootleg this amazing performance. Do y’all remember how epic this was? Pepperidge Farm remembers
lmao and yesI watched it live and was blown away
Breathe 🫁 control on another level makes him the perfect for for the super bowl 🍜 Wayne could never!!!
I waking up at 6 AM 6 miles a day conditioning my wind yes
I deserves it all - Kendrick Lamar
@@aanonimouss_3634 he truly does ❤.. I am so happy and excited for Kendrick ..
And you can tell it’s gotten better since then!

'' 3:28 I need you to understand that my plan B is to win your hearts..'' Man just take my money and see you at the Stadium tour with SZA
That's from his song I Am (Interlude) off the Kendrick Lamar EP. Take a listen if you haven't already. It's pure poetry.
@nedlog05 yeah awesome, thank you for this.. I'm heading over there to listen right now. 👍🏽👍🏽
Taylor always love Kendrick
they went CRAZYYYYY

This was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LONGGGGGG OVERDUE GRAMMYS but thank you 😂
This was my introduction to Kendrick, and it didn't disappoint!
Mine as well as Imagine Dragons and when I say this was THE BEST EVER MASHUP! Like 🤯🤯🤯

Shoutout to Taylor for rocking out in the front row. Greatness respects greatness.
Pretty sure Kendrick is her favorite rapper, that's why she ended up working with him on Bad Blood
Nah, Taylor is for children and single mothers
Yeah she was jamming out haha
@@GoliathWarfare And Kendrick won't hesitate to return when Tay made a re-recording of Bad Blood
Now post the Grammys performance Kendrick did with U2 and Dave Chappelle
It’s been there bro
ow yes! that was something else🔥
@@footballmaniacs6983 nah, it's not on TH-cam, there's only an edited version to get around copyright

When I say that was one of my favorite all time favorite Grammy performances! Ish was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These kind of collaborations are pivitol moments in music history all the way back to Count Basie Quincy Jones and Sinatra at the Sands
Still remember this! Amazing!
You guys are a decade late in posting this. Nevertheless, I appreciate having the option of rewatching this fantastic performance in a clear, high-quality video.
This is one of my favorite Grammys performances!
THIS IS WHY HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Wait! This was 10 years ago? 😳🤯 I can't even imagine what he gonna come up with for the Super Bowl, this man be doing real shows.
So dope to see his wife right next to Queen Latifah (2:56)
I haven’t watched the Grammys Live in years, only the performance videos on youtube but if they announce Kendrick to be a performer for 2025, I’ll be watching live for sure.
Since the Super Bowl is the week after, I don't think he's gonna perform at the Grammys.
@@pmandr29 Good point.
THATS HOW YOU DO IT KENDRICK. GLOBAL MEGA SUPERSTAR . Michael Jackson knew that.

When this performance first aired, I was in my last year of high school snap it's been a decade.
That year was the first (and only) time I've ever watched the Grammys and holy crap. I never really cared about Kendrick before that because I avoided radio music like the plague.

Kendrick 🐐
