Questlove Shares How The All-Star Grammys Hip-Hop Tribute Came Together

The most unanimously acclaimed performance in recent Grammys history was last night’s all-star tribute to 50 years of hip-hop history. (We ranked it as the best performance of the night, but then, who didn’t?) Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of the Roots coordinated the 15-minute extravaganza, which involved dozens of performers from across generations including Busta Rhymes, Ice-T, Lil Uzi Vert, Missy Elliott, GloRilla, LL Cool J, Method Man, Queen Latifah, Run-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Flavor Flav, Lil Baby, Rakim, Nelly, and more. Today, via a news article and his own Twitter feed, he’s sharing details on how it came together.
