Last night everyone in the industry was locked around the television for the Grammy Awards. While there were some noticeable absences like Rihanna, Snoop Dogg and a few more. One of the highlights of the show was the amazing performance from Kendrick Lamar. While performing the song "Alright" from "To Pimp A Butterfly" he killed the show last night. I felt like this was one of the most needed performances from the evening. While uplifting and empowering the heritage of African Americans, he spread the knowledge to those who may have been unaware of what's going on.

Kendrick took home five of the eleven awards that he was nominated for and while there are some who would say that his second album didn't fair as well as the first. I would have to beg to differ. With an artist in this generation of hip hop whose not focused on alot of negativity including female bashing or materialistic things. He has shown that he is in a class all by himself. Check out the performance from last nights show that had social media blowing up all night.
