Compton wordsmith Kendrick Lamar secured two of the BET Awards’ most coveted awards as he won the title of “Best New Artist” and “Best Male Hip Hop Artist” at the annual music and entertainment awards show.
Due to a performance which directly followed the “Best New Artist” presentation, the rapper was unfortunately unable to accept his “Best New Artist” award and left that particular duty to actresses Gabrielle Union and Angela Bassett.
Other “Best New Artist” nominees included Azealia Banks, Joey Bada$$, Trinidad Jame$, and Canadian singer The Weeknd. The TDE spitter also received nominations for “Best Collaboration” and “Video of the Year.”
Following the “Best New Artist” presentation, Kendrick graced the stage for a performance of both “m.A.A.d City” and “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” the latter of which included a cameo from Dallas songstress Erykah Badu who lent her vocals to the good kid, m.A.A.d city record.

Well deserved.
FUCK yes.
wow great performance
I would expect no less from someone who breaks into the game using Carter 3 beats and tours on Drake’s undercard.
if you really think he won because of those two reasons, then you need your head examined..
All of that was overshadowed by a critically acclaimed mixtape (Overly Dedicated), two critically acclaimed albums (Section 80 and GKMC), many co-signs, and signing to Dr. Dre’s label.
finaly real rap comn back, time for the swagfags/nerds to fall back
kendrick beating out mr. all gold everything?.. hell yes.. good job k dot, nice seeing joey badass get a nomination too..

That intro was raw as fuck!
grat!
got damn….just….GOT DAMN!!!
Its funny how big companies can give awards and tell us what our classic albums will be. I remember when lil wayne was the best rapper alive and had a classic with the carter III. It seems with enough money and power you can convince the youth of anything these days, especially since they only listen to what’s popular and don’t know any better. I wonder who will be the next corporate super star in 5 years.
lolahahh
BET used to be good when they had “Rap City”.
I must admit I haven’t reaaly checked for this young mans music. but he gained a new fan in me from this performance
he was the only great rapper in these categories lol
