Yesterday (September 22), the BET network confirmed that Hip Hop superstar and media mogul Snoop Dogg will host the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards. The event will premiere on October 15 at 8pm EST. Snoop follows another artist, T-Pain, who hosted along with Mike Epps and Katt Williams.
Last year’s awards featured a Chris Lighty tribute, Fat Joe and 50 Cent appearing together for the first time since their early 2000s beef, and a notable altercation in the awards parking lot between members of G-Unit and Maybach Music Group.
With the announcement of the veteran Long Beach, California host, BET runveiled the nominees for awards this year. An artist endorsed by Snoop, Kendrick Lamar, leads with 14 overall nominations:

how they got a big sean mixtape from sept 2012 and then a stalley mixtape from summer 2013????
what kind of fucking list is that shit anyway i could name 10 better tapes
Hahaha this website isn’t even nominated for best online hiphop site.
That’s sad, they should be instead of Complex, they at least get hip hop more than that site does these days…
hhdx is definitely better than allhiphop as well. their writers are even worse! almost illiterate it seems sometimes, at least that illseed nigga is
Dis show needs to kick off with the “Control” verse by Kendrick…then everyone else can sit in silence and collect their awards.
check out http://www.w1lson.net for all your hip hop sites in one.
Who is the best female artist? Rpsody should get it
peep the aprocalypse should be best mixtape of the year…
WHY IS JAY-Z’S NAME WRITTEN IN CAPS??? IS THAT A HINT??
WHO WILL HOST… SNOOP DOGG OR SNOOP LION???
I think he changed his name so its JAY Z instead of Jay-Z
but good question on Snoop lol, good question
Tech N9ne should be nominated for this shit. For example, best live performance, hands down, should go to Tech. Shit, hustler of the year could go to the man himself. Strange Music is fucking on top right now, whether BET or any other mainstream fans want to acknowledge it
So what if we disagree? Oh i get it. We should just agree with YOUR opinion and not the millions of other peoples own opinion.
damn king kendrick lamar doing it big for New York City with 14 nominations the east coast got this

You meant to say: What a shit list. Wale, DRAKE? Really. At least they got Jay Z and J cole..
Wale’s the Gifted up for album of the year but no Yeezus? It may not be Kanye’s best, but it’s certainly better than The Gifted and MCHG…
i see they nominated that local rapper for best “impact track” with a song that literally made no impact LMAO
Hustler of the year? Made u look award? They must be jokin
No Nas for Lyricist Of The Year?!! *Closes laptop & throws it out the window*

BET SUCKS. How the HELL Big Krit mixtape is not up for Best Mixtape? THATS SOME BS. Trinidad James over KRIT? REALLY?

Told you I ain’t too good
With writin’ letters and all
I don’t even write rhymes, but what I will do
I’ma send you this opus scribed through the airwaves
Vibe with me
You know why they call ‘The Projects’ a project
Because it’s a project
An experiment, where in it, only it’s objects
And the object for us, to explore our prospects
Sidestep cops on the way to the top, yes
As kids we would daydream, sittin’ on our steps
Pointin’ at cars like, Yeah, that’s our sex
Hustlers, prophets made our eyes stretch
Swanson got the spot, *** we started our trek
Some of us made it, most of us digressed
In the name of those who ain’t made it my progress
Show success, please live through me
See, I’m the eyes for Emory, keep him alive
This is a collect call, so every time I press ‘5’
All he wanna hear is his boy talk fly
Up in the fence and still holdin’ his head
So when he hits the streets, he gon’ eat through this bread
Now let’s ride

hustler of the year and made you look awards…. are this people serious, i’m done….
jay-lyricist of the year…this people funny
biter of the century
DAMN, some of those nominations are HORRIBLE.
Detroit is hands down the best mixtape, dopest thing Sean has ever done. How is Bugatti nominated?!? lmfao. Drake – Started from the Bottom should win every award it’s nominated for, dope as fuck Pop-rap tune.
you know kdots gonna win all of em!!!
naw he gonna have to share with macklemore…. or maybe not he aint black so they might discriminate
best collab – memories back then
kendrick best live performance? don’t think so. telling one side to scream, then the other side to scream, then to scream together doesnt equate to a BEST live performance. great music though.
not a good year…
SOULO THO?
Im sayin the same thing
there is apparently like 12 artist in hip hop and that is all that BET recognizes lol
Soulo we love you.
upto I saw the paycheck 4 $7329, I did not believe that my neighbour woz like they say actualy earning money in their spare time from there labtop.. there uncle has done this for under sixteen months and recently repaid the dept on there condo and bought Renault 4. This Site… http://www.Fb39.com
What a garbage ass set of “contestants” to this reality show we now call Hip H(P)op. When “Problems” is nominated for awards and no one even really mentioned HIIIpower. When you have a “Black Hippy” performance but somehow don’t include the (arguably, I used to fck with Kendrick so I wont hate on anyone who does now) most prolific nigga in the group, maybe IN current Hip Hop? SOULO. Also, I hope Action Bronson gets some recognition, that motherfucker been spitting that audio dope.
2 Chainz and French Montana…why does BET always feel the need to have 2 of the worst rappers perform at the show? I mean seriously…spare me the pain.
hiphops ignorant
thats why
Here’s a crazy thought. Don’t watch.
BET on TDE dicks huh? Cole better be performing..
hustler of the year
yeah hip hops ignorant
underground smarter
mainstream rap so limited
there like 10 rappers
There should be sections for all of these categories for independent/underground hip hop/rap!
HHDX wasnt nominated for best hip hop site. what a surprise.
“Best of the Year”… More like Most Popular. Lol.

BET loves giving Nas hope that he’s going to win something lol
He’s already won an award from them before.
and eminem and yela wolf the “diss track shons”
joe budden pump it up homo haaa

lmfaoo
50 cent said he cant find me in the club lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW6C0iEW7MQ
HAVE A PARTY HAAA
missy likes puma sade likes black pumas lol she cant stand the rain
HA! KenDICK LAME-ar is a complete buffoon!
This midget, pinhead footlocker-worker lookin ass nigga got nominated & wont take a single award home, I PUT THAT ON MY LIFE!
KenDICK is IRRELEVANT. He is only getting hype because he made an album about how he would get bullied by real Compton niggas and ofcourse all the Hip Hop NERDS (who get bullied as well) loved it cuz they can relate.
Want real rap? Listen to Lil Wayne, Drake, Lil B, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Weezy, Talib Kweli, The Jonas Brothers, KRS-One, etc.
Lil Wayne is and forever will be the KIGN of HIP HOP!
YMCMB!
Kill yourself for the dumb shit you said, troll.
” footlocker-worker lookin ass nigga”
damn this dudes gonna be in denial when Kenny wins some awards, he said he put it on his life that he wouldnt win anything. worst troll ever
you’re definitely a fag..
“He’s already won an award from them before”
Point is BET nominates all these commercial rappers, then throws Nas a pity nomination knowing he’ll never win cause viewers aren’t tuning in to hear a long winded speech about maturity and divorce costs.
Posted15 hours ago
he won in the last award for best impact track but who gives a fuck abt awards anyway.
2 chainz should win an award for worst dressed ninja in rap.
looking like whoopi goldberg on meth!
Yet another reason not to watch BET.
before I saw the receipt of $9041, I have faith …that…my friends brother was like actualy taking home money parttime at there labtop.. there neighbour had bean doing this 4 only nineteen months and resantly cleared the mortgage on their house and got a new Ford Focus. you can find out more
