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.
