VIDEO: Nas & Kelis @ Grammies, Wearing '

Nas made for one of the better Grammy YouTube moments I've seen so far. The CNN reporter asks some questions about Nas & crew wearing shirts that say 'N*gger' on them, as well as some on his nominated previous album Hip Hop Is Dead. Her tone is eye-roll inducing, especially when she says: "Hip Hop isn't dead in my eyes. Kanye's up for 8 Grammies.". Then Kelis comes back to school the presenter by letting her know John Lennon had a song called 'Women Are The N*ggers Of The World'. Awesome TV moment.

Pop Beef vs Hip Hop Beef

With all the current beef buzz provided, per tradition, by 50 Cent, I thought it'd be interesting to note that even The Beatles ended up releasing a string of 'diss songs' targeting each other. Including John Lennon's 'How Do You Sleep' where he ethers Paul McCartney. More Beatles diss songs here.
