News: The Official 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards Post


Last night the BET Hip-Hop Awards aired (the show was taped this past Saturday). With Katt Williams MIA (no, not the singer) at the last minute, T-Pain stepped in as host. To put it in perspective, the night consisted of The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. I guess you could say T-Pain really was the Ring Leader of this circus. Now I am not a fashion expert. I leave that one to the ladies. But damn if there weren't some fucked up outfits bein' rocked at the show. There were some really good performances, but a few that lacked enthusiasm and left the crowd dead and wanting more. I really have to ask, when did all of Salt n Pepa's old songs become songs about Barack Obama? Anyway, I'll be updating this post as the day goes on with video's of the performances & of course the best part of the show, the cyphers. Here is a list of the winners & Performances...
