2010 was a sad year if nicki and rick ross are nominated for more than 5 awards each
oh and i forget to mention that guy that just raps over himself screaming FLOCKA FLOCKA on every track
Ha, BET shouln’t be allowed to have their own award ceremony, its a fucking joke.
why are naija guys always so hateful

How are The Roots on there for best live!?!? SMMFH
How are the Roots not nominated for every category?
Seriously this is a shitty example of what hip hop is… I mean is that nikki chick seriously in the top five of lyricists this year? geeeshh
How is Busta Rhymes in this category? yeah he does an awesome live show but what has he released to perform live???
should read: “NOT on there”
if J. Cole does not win rookie of the year BET becomes the least credible enitity in hip-hop. oh and Distant Relatives isnt nominated for cd of the year.. BULLSHIT
Rookie of the Year should be a 3 man race:
J Cole
Jay Electronica
Curren$y
The rest of that shit is lame as hell. No noms for the Roots, Distant Relatives, Curren$y, Reflection Eternal.
This shouldn’t surprise any of us though. They should be called The BET Hip-Pop Awards. Only real hip hop on the list are J Cole, Jay-Z, Busta and Em.
Straight up man… sad.
weak ass industry bullshit.. these are all pop artist.. wheres the real hip hop
3 nom. for Jay-Z in the same category??? BET sold out straight up jeje
how is eminem not in the track of the year? He’s not even in the video of the year? Lil Wayne doesn’t sell like eminem or spit like him Drake sucks compared to Eminem, i mean i love Jay or kanye but c’mon he’s ripping the charts and he’s not nominated for track of the year or video of the year, i say BULLSHIT.
This network was and still remains a joke. Nothing Hip Hop about this at all, just an awards banquet for industry insiders…
Why am I not surprised about this lineup? Whatever BET. I hope Jay takes them all, more power to him, maybe Drake. But for the rest, nope. Fuck DJ Khaled, fat faggot sounds like he hasn’t hit puberty yet. WE THE BEST! Fuck outta here.
only rookie i agree wit is j.cole, wut about big krit, shyyt they coulda put b.o.b in there before those others…who da fuk is chiddy bang anyway never heard of em and wit a name like dat i dont think i wanna… roscoe dash wont be here next year y nominate him and waka flocka flame are you fuckin kiddin me…. no big boy nominations and he had da second best album dis year second to eminem of course….. what did lil wayne do lately for a nomination sumthing i musta missed i can go on and on about dis wack ass award show jay-z wont even be there lol….and omg hiphopdx not nominated fa best hip hop blog site newsflash they all report the same shyt anyway there are no best
Uhm, why isn’t 40 nominated for best producer…?? I mean he has done one hack of a good job on Thank me Later
fucking rofl at nicki minaj being nominated for lyricist of the year, unbelievable. To even have her name written beside Jay Z and Eminem in that category is an insult. Clearly just so they can say they havnt discriminated against women.
go and “put your pussy on someone’s sideburns” nicki. Its masterful lyrics like those that got u the nomination. smfh…
Best LYRICIST:
Jay-Z
Eminem
J.Cole
Kanye
Talib Kweli
only got 2 right
It seems BET is determined to end Hip Hop. MtvU does a better job.The only thing that plays on the channel are re-runs and 106&Park. They don’t even highlight up and coming black Artists anymore. They are strictly a who-ever-pays network. Slaves to corporate entities. They don’t even have comicview anymore. What purpose does the network serve?!?
Anyone who watches these award shows just support them and keep them going.
As everyone can see by the noms BET Award show is a joke. If we all stop watching it then we all kill it…
Preach! I’ve been boycotting BET & MTV for some years now. Fuck ’em all.
once again BET dickrides the mainstream n proves they don’t know shit about Hip Hop or who is deserving of awards in those catagories I mean you’d think they would of at least got 1 nomination right
BET again proves how ridiculous they are with the dumbest award show in the music industry.
what the hell is the “made you look” award?
how do you be the MVP of something that has no players or a league?
Hustler of the year? really? thats an award?
anyone who takes any award show really serious, not just the dumbass show, is a idiot.
they take trends to seriously, to the point where it’s just stupid. all those things were either major trends in culture or at some point were trendy for rappers in their lyrics. that’s how dumb those people are
