Sunday's Grammys were dominated by three L.A. artists — Billie Eilish, Tyler, the Creator and Nipsey Hussle — and its greatest athlete, Kobe Bryant.
From Lizzo’s fiery opener to Demi Lovato’s tearful moment of triumph, here are the the moments that made the 62nd Grammy Awards memorable.Review: The Recording Academy is mired in scandal. The Grammys tried to make you forget itAs it turned out, the moment called for it. Outside Staples Center on Sunday, a growing mass of mourners had made a pilgrimage to the “House That Kobe Built.” Inside, the city’s musicians stepped up to command the stage and work through a few stages of grief. Tyler raged.
“When you tell people that you’re from L.A., usually they can’t believe it,” Grammy-winning producer andlast year, adding that he has compared notes with fellow natives Joey Waronker and Beck: “It’s a very unique place to grow up. You have all of the celebrities in one corner, and you have the culture that L.A. brings, and it’s all mixed together.”Highland Park’s Billie Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell after their historic night at the Grammys.
In various interviews Eilish has recalled wandering up and down Highland Park’s York Boulevard, and those who know the area can imagine her and Finneas roaming a neighborhood where places like Café de Leche, Future Music, the Hermosillo, Galco’s Old World Grocery, Permanent Records, La Estrella taco truck and Rappcats give the place the feel of a working-class town. Her first gig was at the Hi Hat in that same strip of businesses; until a few years ago, it was a pool hall.
Dubbed by his fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean in “Sweet Life” as “the black Beverly Hills,” Ladera Heights boasts a wonderful vantage point: a perch in the Baldwin Hills, 10 miles due south of the iconic Hollywood Hills neighborhood above the Sunset Strip. You can watch the planes land and, if you live in the right spot, see both sunrise and sunset.
Calling himself “half and half” on the Grammys, he said: “On one hand, I’m just grateful that what I made can be acknowledged in a world like this. But also, it sucks that whenever we — and I mean guys that look like me — do anything that’s genre-bending or anything, they also put it in a rap or urban category. And I don’t like the ‘urban’ word. It’s just a politically correct way to say the n-word.
