BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: BEEF: THE SERIES, produced by documentary filmmaker Quincy
Jones III, picks up where his popular 'BEEF' DVDs left off.
From the music industry and the sports arena to everywhere
in between, BEEF: THE SERIES explores the pop culture
conflicts between rivals in every trade. MC battles like
Tupac vs. Biggie have captured the attention and
imagination of modern Hip-Hop fans for decades, but the
controversy and personal clashes have expanded beyond
music. From Kobe vs. Shaq, to Bow Wow vs. Romeo, BET goes
beyond the word on the street to bring you both sides of
the story from the people closest to the friction.
Sometimes beef gets squashed, sometimes beef goes to court,
sometimes beef gets out of control, but if you're looking
for the beef - it's sizzling on BET!
