Will

to
the
Grammy’s
stage,
rocking
his
Philadelphia
Phillies
jersey,
reuniting
with
DJ
Jazzy
Jeff
for
a
medley
of
their
classics.
Questlove
introduced
the
two.
“In
a
year
and
a
night
full
of
hip-hop
moments,
this
is
a
big
one,”
says
Questlove.
“I
grew
up
idolizing
these
two
from
my
hometown
of
Illadelpho.
They
were
the
first
artist
to
ever
receive
a
Grammy
award
for
hip-hop.
Back
then,
they
weren’t
invited
to
perform
or
accept
their
award
on
camera,
which
led
to
the
hip-hop
community
sitting
things
out
that
year.
But
thankfully,
a
year
later,
their
hip-hop
invitation
did
show
up
and
they
did
become
the
first
hip-hop
group
to
ever
perform
at
the
Grammy
Awards.
And
tonight,
as
a
fan,
as
a
friend,
from
way
back
in
Philly,
let’s
welcome
to
the
Grammy
stage,
the
incomparable,
the
amazing,
the
legendary,
DJ
Jazzy
Jeff
and
the
Fresh
Prince!”
The
duo
performed
“Brand
New
Funk,”
“Gettin
Jiggy
With
It,”
“Miami,”
“The
Fresh
Prince
of
Bel-Air”
theme
song,
and
“Summertime.”
