VIBE Magazine photographs Lecrae shopping and riding in elevators before the Grammys

Photograph shot exclusively for VIBE by Hiltron Bailey

VIBE Magazine sent a photographer to follow Lecrae around during his recent trip to LA for the Grammys.

The result is a slide show of him doing exciting things like shopping at the mall and riding both an elevator AND an escalator!

The expanded coverage of Christian hip hop is nice, but this is just straight up boring.

Even Lecrae agrees. Peep this recent Tweet back to fellow artist Jai.

At least they gave him a more in-depth interview piece earlier.

(Heads up that this is a mainstream rap site and there's a LOT of flesh in the sidebar ads. If that's an issue for you, feel free to pass. You're really not missing much.)

Parts I found cool though:

• Lecrae shows he's just a regular dude - sharing the moment with his wife and family
• He made it a point to show he was shopping a clearance rack ("You got money? You got paper? / So what? Who cares?)
• At Lids, my man looked to be seriously considering an Houston Astros cap to rep his hometown
