Clipse and Pharrell Williams closed out the Grammy Awards with some of their greatest hits.
On Sunday night, February 1, the Virginia natives hit the stage at the 68th Grammy Awards inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. They kicked off their performance with "So Far Ahead" alongside the Voices of Fire. Faux snow fell from the sky as the trio wrapped up their set. They rocked all-white outfits onstage, which is completely different from the fits they arrived in. Pharrell, Pusha T and Malice showed up to the red carpet in matching pink tux's, which matched the color scheme of the album cover for Let God Sort Em Out.
Pharrell Williams hit the stage with his Clipse brethren after accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award following a touching tribute led by Q-Tip. In his speech, Skateboard P paid homage to A Tribe Called Quest, whose music he used to worship as a kid, and thanked a select few who were involved in his success.
"The idea that I get to hold this award that is signatory to one of the greatest producers of all time, Dr. Dre," he said. "It's the greatest."
Clipse and Pharrell Williams were nominated for five awards, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album for their comeback LP Let God Sort Em Out. They also earned a nod for Best Music Video thanks to the powerful visuals for their hit "The Birds Don't Sing." The duo's "Chains & Whips" featuring Kendrick Lamar won Best Rap Performance for "Chains & Whips." Clipse, as well as Pusha T, had been nominated in the past, but this is their first time winning an award from the Recording Academy.
Congratulations to Clipse & Pharrell Williams!
