The Lawrence Twins of Mirror Image and HipHossip interview retro looking Yung Joc complete with his boombox. More slides below of our coverage.
Scrappy is performing!!! My baby's performing!! You know Scrappy's mom Dee's my pal and isn't it about time a son performed? Thanks BET.
So much fake bling on Soulja Boy who got arrested the other day for just running? We hear he declined any questions from reporters and ducked undercover to get inside.
Snoop performing .You must wait to see this.
Ludacris and some energetic dancer. This show was hot!
Rapper Nicki Minaj.
The boss lady Debra Lee and CEO BET. She does things right! What a show!!
The lovely Trina !
I just love Snoop's perm
Classy video gal Angel Lola Luv with new name of "Lola Monroe"
Madame Frankie-Stein the mother of Keyshia Cole. The teeth scared me. Is it almost Halloween?
Cube could do a smile instead of the icy look
Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, who is in a long-term relationship with rap star T.I., came up to accept several awards on his behalf, including CD of the year. (T.I. is in prison for weapons charges.) She read a statement from T.I., who defiantly wrote, "To all the rappers, MCs and critics: I'm coming back with a vengeance!"
And with tunes such as Lil' Scrappy's "Addicted to Money" and Fabolous' "Throw It in the Bag," hip-hop is still happy to embrace consumerism in the face of a debt-ridden economy.
Atlanta's reunited Goodie Mob closed out the show with two of their hits, including "Get Rich To This," which features lyrics, "I get the funds, then I split with it." But that was written in 2000, when the economy was healthy.
The funniest snafu came from host Mike Epps. He introduced video for choreographer Fatima Robinson and accidentally said Missy Elliott - twice. On his third try, he just said, "let's see the video."
A not-so-funny snafu: Epps congratulated President Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He then noted incorrectly that Obama was the first African American to do so -- just down the street from a center dedicated to a particular Atlanta Nobel Peace Prize winner named Martin Luther King Jr.
Jay-Z was honored as the "MVP of the Year"
Drake took home "Rookie of the Year"
Ice Cube received the "I Am Hip-Hop" icon award.
"DJ of the Year" went to DJ AM, the celebrity spinner who died of an accidental drug overdose in August.Ice Cube said he was humbled by the award, and he believes his career as filmmaker could earn him more honors in the future. He helped launch the gangsta rap genre with the group NWA, and he starred in "Barbershop" and "Friday," which he also co-wrote.
"When you get recognized by your peers for a life of work, you got to be humbled," the rap veteran said. "I'm honored by this. I have 20 more years of work left in me. I hope (BET) is ready to give out two of these awards."
Plies' big ass chain broke during his performance with Gucci Mane. LOL! Kid & Play made a surprise appearance. Gucci Mane performed too many times. Goodie Mob reunited to close the show with a hot performance. KANYE WEST WAS A NO-SHOW EVEN WITH 9 NOMINATIONS!
I thought Drake would win anyway. 7 pre-Grammy nominations, 1 BET hip-hop award and no album yet =very hard work! YAY! Watch Drake pick up his trophy October 27th 2009 on BET.
Thanks to Lyntina Townsend and staff at BET for another wonderful year!!!
