Last night, the BET networked aired its own 2010 BET Awards, live from Los Angeles. Eminem, Kanye West, T.I., Diddy and Drake were on hand, as Queen Latifah played host to the event.
Highlights included an show-opening performance from West, who premiered his recently-leaked “Power” before a televised audience. Eminem did his latest in many public appearances, performing “Not Afraid.” B.o.B. performed his hit “Airplanes.” Of the stage show, many will cite Chris Brown’s Michael Jackson tribute that found the controversial Jive Records star in tears, followed by an eruption of applause. Prior to hitting the stage, Brown (@ChrisBrown) tweeted, “Be nervous for me… I’m shittin a brick right now.”
The winners are as follows:
Best International Act: Dizzee Rascal.
Video Director of the Year: Hype Williams.

To see all the winners, including Lebron James, Idris Elba and others, visit BET.com here.
The network will be airing an encore screening tonight.
that T.I./Queen Latifah shit looked like a minstrel show…
BET is the minstrel channel.
Did anyone notice T.I. calling Latifah “Chloe” instead of “Cleo?”
It was a lot of blunders, like DJ Khaled was singing the chorus when it was Rick ross’ time to rap.
First time I watched BET in 5 years.
El Debarge was only thing of note, and he looked like he borrowed Robin Thicke’s clothes and DMX’s basepipe.
I can’t believe it took me to the 2nd to last comment to FINALLY see someone mention Debarge. Dude shut that shit down! Classic. All these youngn’s had no idea who he was tho. Sad.
Second to last comment? You do know this site posts the oldest comments at the bottom, meaning DeBarge was mentioned in the very next comment after the first one…before alot of people were mentioned
No shit. I meant 2nd to last on the page. But noone has mentioned him since. Get off my back nigga you know what I meant
lol
chris brown is the truth
the best MJ tribute ever(better than janets version)
the best BET Awards performance ..ever
the best Performance of the year..period
says…uzipolo king of decatur
Watch this Nicki Minaj Diss…..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-yh5WPDmG8
Guess I’ll have to watch some of the vids of the show on YouTube I’d like to see that kanye do that power song.
shout out to the e thugs who talk shit on here all day but dont have the balls to tell these people that shit to their face and i also think its funny how people say jay-z worships the devil but 5-6 years ago nobody siad that dumb shit now in the past year he and any other famous black person worships the devil stop beliving what you read or hear on the net the only true thing on the internet is porn
he does
amen
whats the deal with keyshia cole on airplane i didnt like that
haha yo for real
Hayley Williams is feeling real sour right now
BET means Black entertainment television so why was eminem there he sound like a kid to
he entertains blacks
hahaha cause he is the best in a genre thats black people created, how does that feel? does it bother your racist ass that a white man shits all over black people in their own shit? LOL LOL LOL I absolutely love it that the “black power” people had to sit there and watch a white man perform at their own award show, which btw is bullshit. BET??? Keep playing the race card and segregating yourselves, and the stereotypes and continued racism which youre serving as the catalyst for will inevitably continue.
Douche, Em is far from the best. He’s good, no where near the best tho
Em has done more for ‘black music’ then most of the ‘musicians/rappers/ in that room.
if weezy was out him and em would of shut that shit down other than that show was wack. i said i wasnt going to watching it but my kinfolks was over so hey had no choice
the show needed wayne and jay-z
no it didn’t Wayne is useless. Kanye was the highlight of the night.
how is having wayne and em on the same stage useless your dumb
Wayne wouldn’t ,ake a difference idiot. now get waynes dick out your ear lame.

DRAKE & JEEZY SHOUT IT DOWN!
WHO THE HELL PRINCE THINK HE IS [GAY] pause
MS KEYS WAS LOOKIN GOOD SWIZZ BEATS A LUCKY MOFO
MIKE EPPS IS A FOOL LOL
FREE WEEZY THATS ALL THAT WAS MISSING
prince is far from gay that nigga is a pimp you must be young
oh yeah and saying pauser is just as dumb as saying no homo you never heard biggie or pac say that shit because if your not gay there is no reason to say that dumb shit
nigga stfu the show was terrible and you lost for thinkin its dope.
Kanye and Em are the only ones with stage presence. the rest of trash specialy tour beloved lil wayne.
“WHO THE HELL PRINCE THINK HE IS [GAY] pause” I’m guessing you only listen to that mindless garbage you hear on the radio and nothing else. BROADEN YOUR MUSIC HORIZON YOU IDIOT! Prince is a musical genius.
Prince has banged more chicks than you’ve met in your life. Plus only he can rock a shirt of himself without looking like a prick
Game. Blouses.
@THA CARTER 4 (that pretty much says it all)…
You need hip-hop education classes…..nah, fuck that, you need music history classes. Waka Flocka would be lucky if he was even let in the building….you call that shit music???
carter 4 u are prolly the age of 15 so u’ll grow up and think gosh i was an idiot
cash money is no different than the backstreet boys except they rap
so think about!
all yall lame as hell lol get off my dick and get off prince dick be real look at that nigga and tell me he aint gay or bi … fyi im 21 and music has change accept it its 2010
carter 4 ur 21 and a fag
just cus its 2010 dont mean no one gunna listen to garbage
u kno u got options…idiot!
Carter, again I can guarantee you Prince has slept with more women then you or I for that matter have met combined…Wilt Chamberlain aint got shit on this nigga lol.
And music isn’t changing. It’s just back in the “golden age” real hip hop was mainstream, and the wack shit (yes there was wack shit back then) took a back seat. Today, they have flipped (I know what’s wack is an opinion, but I’m just stating mine right now). And yes, there is still alot of quality hip hop today. Just this year, Distant Relatives, RPM, HIGO, Vinnie Paz, Dead Prez, Royce, Reef, a whole bunch of dope underground music, etc.
So yes, maybe Young Money is big, but that doesn’t mean people that like the type of hip hop from the 90s has to listen to them.
@nickelnine
ok point taken but niggas be so ready to hate on the next man for liking something they dont my name on here is c4 bc thats MY favorite rapper and i grew up listening to cashmoney the hot boys is my old school rap
wen pac in big where doin they thing wasnt even listening to music i was like 7or8 and the young money crew got talent point blank
@asa fuck u
prince is way before my time and i just call it how i see it
That Chris Brown performance was so phony and staged it wasn’t even funny…They could have gotten Usher or anybody else but they got this clown..Dude so desperate to get some fans back and have people have sympathy for him and his career he would use MJ’s legacy to revive his career..smh…fail
Breezy absolutely killed it. Best MJ tribute by far.
Alicia and Debarge killed it as well. Swizz Beats is a lucky ass nigga.
Nicki is so bad she has to rap-sync. I can’t believe she won an award. Bullshit.
And I love Alicia, but Nas and Damian Marley shoulda won collab.
award the same folks unless they’re new and hot, and has feature on superstars album without having an album of their own yet. b.e.t. does the same shit and not much surpises, you can basicly know who’s gonna win just by looking or hearing the list. That’s why I don’t watch the overlook the hard working/talented artist all because they’re singles/album aren’t gold and platitum, but they’re work is more soild than they give the award to.
weezy was sorely missed. drake should have won new artists over nicki. go figure i thought one of the best performances was diddy but most of them were boring. chris brown str8 killed it even tho i still dont like him but that was a great performance. i still havent seen all of it. it was a boring show so i was flipping back and forth. def wouldve been better with weezy tho. they also should have added some diff performers other than the usual. wouldve been nice to see raekwon since his last album was nice. also wouldve been cool if em wouldve brought out slaughterhouse. couldve used a lil common and lupe, someone along those lines. idk y but the show just wasnt that good. not nearly as good as i expected. i guess jay and B didnt show bc they werent schedule to perform.
Drake did win new artist. Try actually watching the show next time.
BET is a bunch of coon bull****. Music is so bad right now, that anyone that has some tats and pro tools can sell a record. Young Money needs to be taken out and shot. Nicki Minaj = no talent, Lil Kim still holding that crown. Prince should have slapped Trey Songz. Monica needs wardrobe help. Kanye performance was absolutely terrible, the vocals were crap, lyrics crap, and that chain is played out. If anybody they should have let perform was Lupe Fiasco, put a Guru tribute in, and at least gave a shout to good R&B.
Nope, you ni**** like cooning….so they give you cooning. Somebody tell T.I. that his single sucks, and we would much rather have the Young Dro album. Latifah is the worst host ever.
Oh yeah…I like how black women love to clown black men….but no one has said nothing about her breaking up Swizz and Mashonda’s marriage. Food for thought.
I agree ccompletely about the Guru tribute. I’m pissed that not even one rapper even mentioned Guru…
Also agree about Young Money. Terrible group.
Nigga please, you can’t comapre that to the Chris Brown shit (which I don’t give a fuck about it).
If I had a son, I’m sure he would forgive me for breaking up the household if it was to get with Alicia Keys. Besides, it’s not like Swizzy was in martial bliss before Alicia came into the picture.
Also, props to Swizz for marrying and knockin her up so fast, having that baby was a smart move. You gotta lock that shit down fast, and now even if they divorce he’ll always have ties to her through the child. That nigga is my idol…
What proof do you have that Keys broke up a marriage? None sounds about right…they don’t havent even acknowledged they were together pubilicly.
grizzle sounds like a project bafoon
i think red nigga was tryna say that you shouldnt clown on niggas when females can be on the same shit too
but in the end who gives a fuck!
also bet is staged and anyyone who watches this shit and takes it seriously should kill themselve!!
rip guru
Remember that new network run by Master P and backed by Denzel + others? It’s supposed to go live this year, maybe it will be better. Or maybe not, fuck if I know.
http://betterblacktv.com/
the wackest performance of the night goes to the self proclaimed king of the south! T.I. LUDA IS THE BEST ARTIST OUT OF THE SOUTH PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever hear of a nigga named Scarface?
3 stacks would like to have a word with you…
J1DABOSS@YAHOO.COM ANYONE!!!!!
O YEA ANOTHER THING, WHAT HAPPENED TO GUCCI? THE ABC RHYMER FROM ATLANTA DIDNTEN GET NOMINATED FOR ANYTHING DID HE? WHAT A SHAME
You think Gucci deserved an award? LMAO.
fake or not Chris Brown still rocked the Michael Jackson tribute and did what he wanted win some fans back the night of the awards…..The reason why he is the one who did it is because they used to compare him to michael to all the dumb fucks who didnt know that and they use to compare neo but hes to ugly and cant dance like chris but im out
100
to many sour dudes on this thread 4me acting like they cuz lost last night or something damn
I know this is “HIPHOPDX”, but I’m really surprised that nobody mentioned the fact that a corny-ass fool like Trey Songz gets Male R&B Artist of the Year over Maxwell. Just a total joke. When a fool has to sing on every song about getting laid, then his shit is a joke. Maxwell’s shit has more talent than Trey Songz has.
I AGREE
WHAT WAS UP WITH CUTTING J COLE HALFWAY THROUGH HIS PERFORMANCE AND GOING ON A COMMERCIAL BREAK ? PLUS WHY WASNT GURU’S LEGACY HONORED ? OH I GET IT , ALL THE GROUPIE HOES AND MONEY HUNGRY PROMOTIONAL EXECUTIVES WHERE TOO BUSY TRYNA PUT TOGETHER A CHRIS BROWN STAGED EVENT FOR VIEWER RATINGS PLUS MAKING US BELIEVE HE ( CHRIS BROWN ) IS ” TRULY SORRY ” . FUCK BET FOR SUCKING THE DICK OF COPORATE AMERICA ( THE WHITE MAN STILL RUNS SHIT ! )
THANK YOU. I was like fucking jizzing when it was J.Cole’s performance, but then the camera looks up to a advertisement then a commercial break. BS.
bet is the mtv for black ppl
bet is the equivalent to the black barbie
its pathetic!
I agree completely with your first few points. I was pissed when they cut away from Cole after making us sit through Young Money and other bullshit performances.
And the lack of love for Guru made me sick. Not one rapper could have atleast said RIP. Next year BET needs to do a tribute to both Guru and Dilla.
I did like Breezy’s performance though…
better yet bet= the cleaveland show
B.o.B is amazing
anyone ever notice that all Young Money/Weezy/Drake stans are all illiterate? lol, just something to chew on for a second.
Lol exactly. I see it for two reasons:
1. They’re under the age of 12, and still think itz cul 2 typz lik diz. Or just don’t know better.
2. Young Money is dumbing them down.
Both very reasonable reasons.
agreed. but hahaha wtf is reasonable reasons?
redundancy!
Lol guess the second reason is true for even those who don’t like Young Money haha.
Viable reasons.
HANDS DOWN CHRIS BROWN STOLE THA NIGHT. Best MJ Tribute nothing will top dat
So how come the people who run the Oscar’s have enough intergrity to invest time and energy into selecting movies with the most merit even if people haven’t heard of them and yet the people who run music award ceremonies, atleast in America, just lay on their asses and choose artists who get the most manufactured air play on hit radio stations.
This is the nomination line up (for hip hop catergories) that would have happened if this large niche in american culture weren’t controlled by evil f*cks:
Best hip hop artist:
Raekwon
Mos Def
Royce Da 5’9
Tech N9ne
P.O.S.
Best Group:
Diamond District
Slaughterhouse
Reflection Eternal
Nas & Damian Marley
The Roots
Best New Artist:
Fashawn
J.Cole
YU
Diabolic
Torae

you’re very smart for posting your link like that, but your music sucks. Your lyrics are not very good, and the sound quality is way below par. The production other than specific sound quality is good.
Why does hiphopdx allow this link but not one to my itunes page?
The first BET Award that was worth watching.
To all the suckas – your favorite rapper (fill in the blank) is a Prince fan.
u r straight caca
Agreed Sun God. Prince is a legend.
weak!
nicki manaj(out of all my complaints)
what da fuck is dat
and young money really???
wow if i was a 13 yr old girl i would be elated
Lol Nicky Minaj… a “rap artist” if we can say that, she is far the fakiest girl of them all .. but don’t get me wrong I would bang the sh*t out of her, hahaha!
Best new comer that can’t even do a 4 bars freestyle, thank you B.E.T Award, thank you haha !
Does Nicki have real hair? Serious question. If she does I’d bang her, if she doesn’t idk if I could…
Question did they pay homage to Guru? If so, I’d actually watch a BET award show
Nope. If they don’t next year I’m done with BET. Not that I watch it much anyways…
that’s true. they are terrible people for not including that, but it may have been to recent to plan for. They better pay tribute next year. Either way I didn’t watch the awards, and I never really watch any awards. Kanye is the only reason I cared about MTV awards and his Power performance is the only reason I cared about the BET awards.
Well last year when Michael Jackson died I defended BET’s bad tribute because he died like a week or 2 before the award show.
I figured since Guru has been dead for a few months, that maybe BET had the time to get the neccesary people for a tribute.
To everyone on hear asking why no Guru tribute, the BET Awards is about mostly mainstream music. They didn’t do a J.Dilla tribute when he passed either. The BET Hip Hop Awards comes on in Oct. so we might see something about Guru then. I personally liked the BET Awards this year. Why so critical anyway, this is one award show when celebrities look like they are actually enjoying themselves. MTV or the Grammy’s wouldn’t let half of the people we saw last night on their award shows.
Never watch BET so I didn’t know there was a seperate hip hop award show. Hope Guru and Dilla are honored then.
now why da fuck would any1 care about the enjoyment of celebs?
i care about good music
I KNOW THIS IS A RAPBOARD MOSTLY RUN AMUCK BY WHITEBOYS WHO ONLY LOVE EMINEM..AND “JUST DONT GET” MOST BLACK SHIT BUT IF U THINK KANYE PERFORMANCE WAS ACK LAST NIGHT.U SHOULD SHOOT YO’SELF..THAT WAS THE COLDEST IF NOT THE BEST TELEVISED PERFORMANCE OF ANY RAp artist ever..visually..AND POWER IS A BANGER PERIOD..DUMMIES..GET THAT STUPIDITY OUT OF YOUR EYES AND RECOGNIZE WHEN SHIT IS HOT FOR REAL..NOT FICTITIOUSLY..AS FOR THE REST OF THE AWARDS SHOW…ONE OF THE BEST..WHO GIVS A FUC WHAT LAMES THINK..BLACK ENTERTAINERS SHOWED WHY THEY RUN SHIT AND HAVE BEEN FOR ABOUT A CENTURY..USHER GAVE THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF HIS CAREER..CHRIS BROWN DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO..IT WAS ACTUALLY FULL OF MOMENTS AND IF U DONT LIKE PRINCE..CONTINUE TO BLIND TO REAL MUSIC..U DO YOURSELF AN INJUSTICE…THE SAD PART IS YALL THINK YALL HARD..U CAN CALL A NIGGA A THOUSAND PUSSIES ON THE INTERNET LAME ASS NIGGAZ…
Co-Sign
Who you think buys all of Kanyes records? It ain’t the black folk.
yea i agree i can tell a lot of this site is white boys tryna be down but i dont give a damn cus i can always get ahead knowing the opinions of others.
but as far how black people “runs this” who you think owns BET. what really matters is the nigga maneuvering all these puppets that keep the masses stupidly hypnotized,
all awards shows are whack including this one.
and lastly, now why do u think ppl tryna bang on the internet, i mean from the comments i read on many half of them just write out their frustration on how musically retarted some ppl can be and the other half just post up dumb jibberish
come on now did u really think any one on the street was gunna scream mani hate kanye and the punch ya in face?
COME ON NOW BE FOR REAL with yo dumb shit
@Dutch
I can’t figure out if you hate whites or were just born stupid.
” I know this is a rapboard mostly run amuck by whiteboys” Hmmmmm, yes you are a hater sir. Stop posting shit on here, please. Who gives a fuck what you think or feel. When “whiteboys” stop purchasing legit albums, not bootlegs because we want to support artists that we like, you opinion might matter to someone. Just saying….
Seriously man, what does ‘life accordin’ to dutch’ even suppose to mean?? You teaching hate to everyone…? That’s the way you sound.
IM BALLS DEEP UP IN THIS BITCH, NIGGA. ONLY FAGGOTS COMMENT AFTER ME. NUGGGGUAAAAH!!! ITS A BAWSE THANG BRUH.
! there is a “web//site” named “blackwhitesingle.co//m” for dateing or relationship, black or white singles can go there to find someone sexy or beauty online !!!Interracial dateing or relationship is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!You are guaranteed /to be your r the one of them
YOU IS FAGGOT #1
GAAAAADDDAMN HipHopDX is LAME CENTRAL! You dudes are NO FUN!
I don’t even know why you even listen to hip-hop to begin with since you have SUCH a fucking problem with the artist. I mean you niggas get straight emotional over absolute BULLSHIT.
Diddy danced, Eminem rapped, Nicki wore a wig, Chris Brown cried.
Breath niggas it’ll be OK, I promise.
gee golly man i forgot about all the fun i could’ve had listening to this pathetic caca
u judge pretty quick for someone straight posting
if u dont like other people opinions then Gtfoh
what is this nazi germany?
YALL IS FAGGOTS #2 AND #3
YALL IS FAGGOTS #2 AND #3
wow, young money for best group. Thats bullshit. At least give it to a deserving group, maybe the wu-tang clan, or reflection eternal, even nas with damian marley. UHHHHH, music sucks nowadays
YOU IS FAGGOT #5. CONGRATS.
YOU IS FAGGOT #5. CONGRATS.
you got to give it to Chris. that boy can dance. i understand why he didnt sing though and no its NOT due to him crying because he was paying tribute to his idol…….just gonna let you marinate on that. ok its cause he sucks at singing.
diddy dancing like a groupie. either you can or you cant. and im sure you know what category you fit into
kanye. performance was cool because it was over the top (get it) but not lame. it was more of like a statement that he can still rap somewhat. (i do like power though)
drake was ok. didnt expect Jeezy to come out. and couldnt wait for him to leave. but it was FAR better than having Gucci come out.
wayne oh wait he wasnt there!!!!! finally
keyshia cole straight fucked that song up. she bent it over and fucked it repeated in the ass. im not saying she cant sing. but she cant sing that song.
eminem was cool. nothing great. shoulda had the roots crew behind him like on jimmy fallon. that was great.
el debarge? really???
trey songz….you suck ass. and was that yo momma!?!? shiiiiiiiit. when she had you…at the age of 9??
nicking minaj should sit down somewhere. preferably in my lap but seeing as thats imposssible, then just shut the hell up. and were you lip synching??WTF!!! arent you a rapper!?
im a luda stan so i cant really say anything bad except never perform another song with dj khaled. ever.
thats all i got.
oh yeah and why was Prince wearing his pajamas to the BET awards?
YOU IS FAGGOT #6. AND YOU GOT SOMEN ON YO CHEEKS, BOY.
Sinatra | Jun 28, 2010 11:20 AMoh yeah and saying pauser is just as dumb as saying no homo you never heard biggie or pac say that shit because if your not gay there is no reason to say that dumb shit….. thank you sinatra same shit im saying no homo is intended for homos makin a statement or opinion so basically niggas that use it sometimes say gay shit with the intent to be gay and when it aint gay they say no homo thats homo….smdh u stupid wayne stans open yo eyes dem niggas gay…hahaha they wont recognize their idol is hella fruit
nothing against gay people im just sayin..
yea noooo, keysha should have listen to the original be for she sang the song. Mater of fact they just should have bung Haley! I love Paramore better then young money! LOL!!!
