Rapper LL Cool J performs onstage at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center on Feb. 10, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.
After a rousing rendition of the original tune “Whaddup,” the super-group gave a fast and furious tribute to belated Beastie Boy MCA —with Chuck D and LL Cool J jumping around to “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.” Unfortunately, at least on the East Coast, the performance was covered up by advertisements and end-of-show credits.
