There are few awards shows that reflect the diversity, genius and authenticity of hip hop. The BET Hip Hop Awards puts the spotlight directly on the art form that has rocked the Bronx and birthed some of the most prolific and intellectual minds in entertainment today. If you’re a fan of the awards, then you might have some special moments you are looking forward to watching.
1. Snoop Dogg hosting the show The icon who has been a bit on celebrity roasts and other events, will be hosting the awards for the second consecutive year. For those who are not aware: Big Snoop is very funny, charismatic and able to keep the crowd entertained.
2. Performances We are looking forward to TI, Common, Jay Electronica, Migos and a few others stepping on stage and rocking the mic. For some artists who have not reached megastar status just yes, the BET Hip Hop Awards can be compared to the Grammys in terms of mixing with entertainment legends. Their performances have to be on point as a result.
3. The Actual Awards Who do you want to win Album of the Year? Best Club Banger, or the award for Best Hip Hop Online? At BET, categories are specifically tailored to feed into interests of the hip hop consumer. After another big year for the genre, and the awards are a reason to stop, relax and celebrate standout recordings and classic hard work.
4. Cypher This might actually be the favorite part of the show. A beat, a mic, your voice and you skills, is all you need in the cypher. It is the best way to introduce some emerging artists to the mainstream crowd.
Artists of the 2014 BET Cypher include: Remy Ma, Snow Da Product, King Los, Loaded Lux, Wiz Khalifa, Papoose and Ty Dolla Sign.
For of the hip hop fans, this is our night to watch nearly all of our favorite MCs and singers illuminate the stage. What part of the BET Awards are you most looking forward to?
