The world’s biggest names in music came out for music’s biggest night last night (Feb 10) for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staple Center in Los Angeles. The night was spiced up with unique performances and surprise collaborations.
Hip Hop heavyweight Jay-Z joined comeback kid Justin Timberlake on stage for a vintage performance of his new single "Suit & Tie," while Wiz Khalifa spiced things up with R&B crooner Miguel for a sensual performance of his hit single "Adorn."
LL Cool J played double duty, both hosting and closing out the show with a classic performance. Joined by Public Enemy's Chuck D, Blink-182's Travis Barker, Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and DJ Z-Trip, the hip hop legend created a Grammy moment with a dope mash-up performance.
