\n============<\/p>\n

In an interview hyping Monday’s 58th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, host LL Cool J used the term “controversial” to describe Kendrick Lamar’s planned performance.<\/p>\n

Photos from Sunday’s rehearsals provide a glimpse into that controversial performance.<\/p>\n

The photos – one featuring Lamar, several featuring backup dancers – reveal a performance that will include prison cells and chains. Lamar’s Grammy-nominated “To Pimp A Butterfly” was praised for its perspective on race, and it is clear his performance will address the issue as well.<\/p>\n

Monday’s show airs at 8PM ET\/5PM PT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047,1048],"tags":[275,74,700],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nSpecial Look: Kendrick Lamar Rehearses For Eagerly Anticipated Grammys Performance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: By request, photos from Kendrick Lamar's Grammy Awards rehearsal were removed.
