Watch: Grammy Awards Electrifying Tribute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop
This year's Grammys had plenty of big moments, from Beyoncé becoming the most decorated award winner in Recording Academy history to a surprise win by roots-rocker Bonnie Raitt in the song of the year category.
There was one moment on Sunday, however, that stood out above the others if the internet and media covering the 65th edition of music's premiere event are to be trusted.
The Recording Academy's celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, with a star-studded tribute directed by Questlove, has been the talk of the virtual water cooler today.
Introduced by LL Cool J, the electrifying set brought together a cavalcade of the art form's finest group and individual acts from across the generations.
Hip-hop legends like Run DMC, Salt-n-Pepa, Flava Flav, Ice-T, Queen Latifah, Method Man and Busta Rhymes shared the stage with some of its newest stars including GloRilla and Lil Uzi Vert.
For nearly 15 minutes the music world stood at a standstill as the artists acted as a jukebox and recreated some of hip-hop's biggest hits.
The three-part tribute included performances of "The Message," "I Can't Live Without My Radio," "Eric B Is President," "My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me, “U.N.I.T.Y.,” and "Lose Control" by the original artists along with a slew of other hits and collaborations.
Watch the performance below.
