Jay-Z, Drake, Ice Cube Big Winners at the BET Hip Hop Awards

With Hov & Jeezy opening up the show with a performance of As Real As It Gets the BET Awards were taped last night in Atlanta. The show isn’t airing until October 27th but the winners were announced, etc.

Jay later took home the MVP of the Year award, beating out such popular peers as Lil Wayne and Drake. Hov dedicated his win to Mr. Magic, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. “Brooklyn, we did it again,” he said at the conclusion of his brief speech.

Other big winners announced during the show last night were Drake for Rookie of the Year and DJ AM for DJ of the Year.

Ice Cube was honored with the I Am Hip-Hop award, with an introductory video that included a voice-over from Dr. Dre. “From that first rhyme he spit for me, I knew Cube was a star,” Dre said. The award was presented to the former N.W.A member by Young Jeezy and Cube’s favorite MC, Chuck D.

For a more in depth breakdown of the show, hit up MTV. And to be honest, I don’t care who won what. All I wanna see/hear are the Cyphers that went down. DJ Premier on the 1s and 2s with KRS-One & Wale rocking the first cypher; Joe Budden & Nicki Minaj rocking the 2nd; and the most anticipated w/ Eminem, Black Thought & Mos Def.

  1. cosign. All I wanna hear are they cyphers every year. BET seems to suck at knowing what good hip hop is and instead picks popular hip hop. 2dopeAwards???

  2. ^^we might do something like that towards the end of the year. i think that would be cool.

  3. word I can’t wait to see the cyphers

  4. Well Well Well….what do qw have here……Can I get a whoop Whoop!

    thankyou heaps if you take the time i really want to get better btw im Australian witch will explain the accent

  7. what is a cypher??

  8. Everyone on twitter saying Budden killed the ciphers. Wanna seeeeeeee!

  9. It was great Joseph (Bernard) Budden was a lyrical beast in the cypher. Wow…Slaughterhouse is phenominal. Did you hear them on Peter Parkers Show? He said they will be the best group ever!!

    Can anyone say….Successful??? yeah!

  10. I want that Em cypher so baddd!!! LOL @ “what is a cypher??”

  11. I don’t want to come off sounding cold, but DJ AM? I’m not really familiar with his contributions to Hip Hop.

  12. 2DopeAwards? So they can give their biased awards out just like MTV and BET? It’s all opinion ya dumb bitches, and these fuckin dweebs’ opinions aren’t necessarily better than those of the “poppy” networks.

  13. Everyone is talking about Joey killing the Cypher can’t wait to see that.

  14. I’m rocking The Ecstatic right now, loving Mos Def. I’ll youtube the cypher or look at it on here. I stopped watching bet years ago.

  15. @EBrew
    Learn how to use Google, moron…

  16. Wow u cant say your a fan of Hip-Hop and no know wut the cypher was but we all know y they didnt have it live this time lol all I care for is the cyphers get me those and I’ll b one happy man

  17. Damn Rentless, mad much? I was just asking a simple question. A question that the majority of BET’s audience will be asking as well. I think it’s got to be acknowledged that AM received it because he passed (RIP). Even though if we’re going to go the posthumous route… Mr. Magic deserves the respect. Just sayin’

  18. this is a bad look for Cube… lol

  19. I’m only going to watch the awards for the cyphers, the only quality programming BET puts on all year. Someone recorded Black Thought’s verse and at least the first part of Eminem’s, check it out (low quality)…

  20. still love that juelz,loso,kiss cypher from last year

  21. Can I ask why MTV was at the BET awards???? did anyone else find that kinda weird??? haha its like playboy showin up for a hustler magazine thing haha

  22. ^ EXACTLY, what I thought.

    But it seems there not as out of touch with Hip Hop (no, they are) as we thought. The only person any typical coon would know is Nicki Minaj.

  23. Viacom owns MTV and BET, that explains why MTV was there, also why both of them are horrible.

  24. Eminem kills it! He sounds like the ‘98 Slim Shady though, real dope cypher.

  25. ^^You Got A Link With That??

  26. What I don’t understand is this hip hop award shows and ceremonies and stuff being taped now and then shown way later. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel a different way when it’s LIVE. It’s like an event then…cuz it’s happening right then, even though its on TV. VH1 is doing that with the Hip Hop Honors and now BET with the Hip Hop Awards. In the internet age, that’s not a good thing, cuz there is going to be leaked footage and different stuff anyways and that takes away from the authenticity and excitement of the event.

  27. Wale shoulda been rookie of the yearrrrrrrrrrrrrr. damn

    but i still like drizzy drake

  28. Why do artist show up for the BET Awards and BET barely, if at all supports Artist Music, LET ALONE HIP HOP!

  29. Damn I really want to hear Budden and Em go in. Last years loso and lupe cyphers where crazy.

  30. It would be really dope if you guys would do a year in review…I remember that Hiphopsite.com use to do this each year, and I was always looking forward to that..a shame they stopped doing that

  31. first Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize and now DJ AM winning DJ of the Year?

    people are soo fucking gullible. ditto what someone above said…what has DJ AM contributed to hip hop? and this year?

    i am looking forward to seeing three of my favorite emcees(Eminem, Black Thought, and Mos Def) in the same cypher

  32. It’s a courtesy thing I suppose. I can’t really speak on it all the way, but I didn’t really follow what DJ AM was on this year, except for the tragedies, but I have a good feeling that DJ AM did A LOT for hip hop this year…and not to mention that since he passes, it’s good timing to honor him for that, even if they compiled the means to do it from his lifetime achievement. It just makes a lot of sense. Plus, name a list of other DJs you think should have won it. I hope your criteria is not based on how many mixtapes they put out or something. DJ AM put artists on and helped them excel their career by giving them opportunities and cosigning their music. I’m not trying to start an argument, but I’d really just like to hear your sincere logic behind saying that he doesn’t deserve it. (I’m talking about DJ AM…we already know the Obama thing…lol)

  33. I was there. Joe and Em killed it. Can’t forget about Goodie Mobb. Hip Hop at its finest.
