Kendrick Lamar just performed at the Grammys and played "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright," and brought the house down. In a show packed with slowed down versions of middling pop songs, his honest and political showstopper was an absolute burst of energy. Twitter obviously lost its damn mind. Enjoy the best tweets below.
that performance was so good im crying and the coconut oil from my face is seeping into my eyes and stinging them but it is worth it

I guaran-damn-tee Kendrick won't get a 1/4 of the criticism Bey got for SB performance. In fact, he'll be praised. #Grammys2016
