Tyler, the Creator was joined by Boyz II Men and Charlie Wilson for his Grammys medley from 'Igor.'
The Recording Academy is under fire after the ouster of Grammys chief Deborah Dugan. You wouldn’t know that from watching the telecast.He took this Grammy spotlight, his first live performance there, to instead perform “New Magic Wand,” one of the most brutal noise tracks from “Igor,” delivered in front of a strobe-flashed street strewn with dancers in matching, eerie blonde wigs.
Tyler had a reputation as a gleeful provocateur in his Odd Future years, but since pared it back into thoughtful, genre-obliterating funk and rock and experimental music. If you’d come to “Igor” by way of the mature, introspective love songs, or were curious about its Billboard 200 ascent, this set was a shock to see on music’s most prominent stage — it would have gotten him arrested if he’d tried it at a Fairfax sneaker store.
It all ended with Tyler throwing himself into a pit of fire and disappearing from the wreckage of the stage. If anyone has their career improved by this mournful Grammys, it’s fitting that it should be him, one of pop’s great antagonists and, as of tonight, its undeniable Grammy breakout performer.
