M.I.A., Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I. “Swagga Like Us” @ 51st Annual Grammy Awards | Hypebeast

What did Jay Z have on his feet?

my only respect to Jay-Z…none of others there i like…

Man… MIA you are TOO pregnant to be on stage. Your already past the due date; you should be at home prepared to give birth. It just looked totally wrong.

Wack, tacky, pathetic. m.i.a i love ya, but you looked ridiculous. stay home while prego please. Awful sound, awful unison, just a bunch of inflated egos clashing and prancing around on stage. I like hip hop, but this ain’t it.

I don’t think my last entry got in so I’m trying again……..I just gotta say a couple things……imo I think M.I.A. looked horrible in that getup she was wearin, but I do have to give her credit for getting up on stage when she’s ready to pop any minute! And also I don’t like Kanye’s hair like that, apparently he does so I guess that’s what’s important, but it wasn’t nice to look at for me at least!. As far as M.I.A. lip syncin, I know a lot of artists do that so whatever, give her a break, at least she was up there trying to entertain with a belly ready to bust!! I like everyone who was on the stage, but I have to admit that the performance was a mess. Sounded horrible to me.

I just gotta say……….I like all those guys, but imo, Kanye looked weird with that hair, MIA looked horrible in what she was wearing, but gotta give her credit for gettin up there and doin her thing….even though she was lip singing——-Give her a break on that one, she was performin when she’s due to pop any minute now!! The guys all looked good, cept Kanye’s hair. I really didn’t care for the performance though, sounded kinda like a mess. I agree with u that said it sounds messed up live.

MIA’s real name is MATHANGI ARULPRAGASAM!

Kanye’s mullet is ridiculous.

fucking legendary

M.I.A. was lip-syncing, and doing a poor job of it at that. Just watch the first 30 seconds and she messes up at least twice. Singing the wrong lines and singing when she’s not supposed to. Also she looked like a disgusting mess. Props to everyone else up there though.

i think it was WACK to be honest. I think coldplays performance was 100000% better. and i dont even really like coldplay

Kanye looks like Billy Ocean x Lionel Ritchie with that mullet!

damn that was fire!!!!

I’ve never heard this song before, but like most mainstream hiphop, a few minutes into the video was all I needed to remind me why I stick to underground artists (think Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, Giant Panda).

@ Boss:
I totally agree with you, most live hiphop acts do sound pretty horrible.

this song is lame…on top of it, is anyone else tired of jay dressing up in a costume according to who he’s performing for? is he tux or street or both? I cant figure it out anymore. I know its the grammy’s , but this dudes best days are behind him.

That performance was well worth the wait. Btw, stop talkin about M.I.A. like she ain’t the shit. So what you didn’t like her outfit, she’s up on stage on her due date, making history! Show some respect! The dayum song wouldn’t exsist without Paper Planes!

great energy and i thought was the best performance of the night untill RADIOHEAD performed. incredibly dope.

fuck the haters!

wack, Robot voices, wack MC’s, wack beats.

Man, that sounded like crap, just as most hip-hop does live. It sounded like a full drum set was falling down a flight of stairs for four minutes.

i dont know if you guys notice, but MIA lip sang, and she said her line wrong at 0:20!

So Dope!!!!

So Dope!!!!

LMAO @ Kanye’s hair.

man that was incredible. no egos or anyhting on the stage just a good ass performance….HIP HOP IS NOT DEAD.

Mi.A. kinda looked weird tho…

This was like the video they never got to making, especially with the b/w effect.

Pathetic. I like (most of) them, but this proves there is no such thing as good “live hip-hop”. Jay-Z screaming “Yes” over and over again. Everyone “rapping” over each other. LAME!

Nazra, Those sunglasses are called “SUPERS” you can look’em up.

That was THE best performance of the WHOOOLLLLLEEEE Grammys. It was like a history making moment. I like how Kanye just stepped into it and just delivered that 1 st line like it was the last 1, dope.

KJ, weezy was wearing suit man… are you blind?

Great to see some unity in Hip-Hop!! These guys are like the biggest personalities in the game and it cool to see them all on the same track let alone the same stage!!

YO, LOOSE THE LIONEL RICHIE HAIR CUT KANYE!!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME WITH THAT THING!!!

YOU REALLY THINK THAT’S HOT?!!!!!

YEEEEEEEAAAAAA! Great performance! M.I.A. Came through and did work with her baby bump! LOL

^^ WERD..

YEEEEEEEAAAAAA! Great performance! M.I.A. Came through and did work with her baby bump! LOL

goodd damnnn sunnn that shit was awsome !

i don’t know whether to be happy or depressed about MIA being on stage with these jokers. i hope her ego doesn’t blow up like all of the other dictators on that stage.

How the fuck does lil Wayne deserve a grammy,what is the world coming to?

HOT Sample, but MIA looked MAD ridiculous!!! She ruined the whole atmosphere and look of that performance. Im not against pregnant women, but you had the tops of Hip Hop dressed in tuxes and this half naked mess running around the stage. Still a good award show though overalll. It killed every award in the past year. I used to look forward to MTV’s award shows but those got horrible too. This definitely was better.

performance was historic! 4 of the best rappers in the game in one stage!
BTW…anyone knows what sunglass JAY-Z is rocking?? Their awsome

Nice thry worked w/ M.I.A. but it’s too bad most of the four even heard of her before hand.

Sad

This performance made the night!! My 4 favorite rappers on one stage…Moment in history for sure!
BTW..anyone happens to know who are the sunglasses by, that Jay-Z Rocked??

dude! i just wrote about this…i’m from the South and i been ridin’ with Weezy since the OLD Cash Money/UNLV days. but for goodness sake! it’s the Grammys: WEAR A FRIGGIN’ SUIT!

these arent your grandparents’ grammys. i thought jay fell off, but i was wrong. this is the CSNY of hip hop.

FIRE!

Yeah this was off the hook!! What was up with the black and white then it switch to color?
