Mean-Spirited Musical Moments

Those instances when things get super ugly between stars.

"Black Republican" - Nas and Jay Z finally deaded their beef and dropped this song in 2006, off Nas's eighth album, Hip Hop Is Dead. With the charging hook, "Can't turn my back on the 'hood, too much love for them...," the Post and the Point were back in unison. Surely the game is missing a video to mark this momentous occasion.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage for 2K Sports)
Justin Timberlake, "Cry Me a River" - Justin dropped the breakup epic "Cry Me a River" in 2002, shortly after he split from Britney Spears (rumor has it she was cheating on him). But the video, which showed Justin getting revenge on a blonde Britney lookalike, took things to the next level.  (Photo: Jive Music)
Tupac/Faith Evans - After the infamous pic of a tipsy-looking Faith Evans hanging out with 2Pac, the rival of her hubby Notorious B.I.G., leaked, 'Pac took full advantage on his volcanic 1996 diss track "Hit 'Em Up." "You claim to be a player but I f----d your wife," he rapped. Furthermore, the song's video also featured a mocking impersonator of Lil' Kim, who Biggie had been dating for years on the low.(Photo: Courtesy Death Row Records)
Cam'ron, “What Means The World To You” - You gotta give it up to Cam for recognizing that the Police’s bouncy reggae-rock classic “Roxanne” would make for a club banger, perfect for his double-time punchlines.

On wax, Rozay fired the first shot with the track "Mafia Music." 50 responded with "Warning Shot."  (Photos from left: Michael Becker/Fox/PictureGroup,(Jeff Daly/PictureGroup)
