Jay-Z, McCartney, Linkin Park Team Up

    当Jay-Z在白西装里头穿着John Lennon的T-shirt出现在舞台上时，暗示着格莱美整晚中最胡闹的时刻的到来。紧接着这位说唱界的超级大腕儿和Link Park一起表演了此前获得最佳说唱合作奖的歌曲"Numb/Encore"，而当时Linkin Park说唱手Mike Shinoda的致辞是感谢“所有让这张唱片成为可能的所有管理和法律团队中的人，因为这些过程真是场噩梦。”

    当歌曲演唱近结尾时，Shinoda突然地唱起了甲壳虫经典名作“昨日”中的主歌，这成为了第二个暗示，随后Paul McCartney（原甲壳虫贝司手，现为著名音乐人）自己走出来唱完了这首歌。

    于是舞台上站着——一位摇滚传奇，几位新一代人的硬摇滚音乐家，和一位说唱天王。McCartney与Shinoda齐声高歌，夹杂着Jay-Z添油加醋的"That's right"。歌曲演出在三人相互挽着胳膊中结束。

    When Jay-Z walked onto the stage wearing a John Lennon T-shirt underneath his gleaming white suit, it was a hint of the Grammy Awards' oddest mashup of the night.

    The rap superstar performed a duet of "Numb/Encore" with Linkin Park. Earlier, when it won a Grammy for best rap-song collaboration, Linkin Park singer Mike Shinoda thanked "everyone in our management and legal teams that made this record possible, because it was a nightmare."

    It certainly looked like a business transaction, because Jay-Z and Linkin Park had zero chemistry, barely acknowledging each other onstage.

    Toward the end, Shinoda oddly sang a verse of the Beatles' "Yesterday," and that was the second hint. Soon after, Paul McCartney himself walked out to finish the song.

    There they stood——the rock legend, hard rockers from a few generations after and a rap mogul. McCartney and Shinoda sang together, with Jay-Z adding "that's right" a few times afterward.

    They ended the song arm-in-arm, standing under a portrait of the late Coretta Scott King.
