The second annual BET Awards went down last night in LA without a hitch. Diana Ross was honored with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award this year and Don Cheadle was honored with the Humanitarian Award. 50 Cent,T.I.,Ciara ,Ne-Yo, Beyonce, Kelly Roland, and T Pain all took the stage for some great peformances as well as tributes from Public Enemy and Diana Ross.
Beyoncé received the most amount of nominations, earning 6 nods, “Best Female R&B Artist”, “Viewer’s Choice Award”, two for “Best Collaboration” (“Déjà Vu” and “Upgrade U”, both featuring Jay-Z), and two more for “Video of the Year” (“Irreplaceable” and “Beautiful Liar” with Shakira). Ciara, Akon, and Jennifer Hudson received three nominations each, coming in behind Beyoncé.
The most noteworthy event of the night came thanks to T.I. when he took the time to apologize to Ludacris, his camp, and the fans for an earlier incident in which he punched Chaka Zulu, Ludacris’ manager.

THIS IS EXTREMELY OFF TOPIC AND I DON'T CARE: I'm pissed off that I found out by accident that Chrisette Michele's album, I AM, dropped this week. For those of you that don't know her, she laced
Jay-Z's Lost Ones and
Nas' Can't Forget About You, and 2 other joints on HHID.
I'm bout 2 go cop that right now. Thanx Defsounds 4 keeping us all alert. Support our black women. If u ask me, she's "HIP HOP" too.
I didn't wacth that shit but T.I not giving Yayo daps thats fucked
nahh, its all good dog.. they where just doing wut they do best.. Performing & being slick!! haha, Chrisette album dropped last week you dickhead! I already have it.. you need to get ur magot ass off here & go cop it charismatic, ya bitch!
the awards were WACK!!! but the public enemy performance was one of the best performances ive seen in years. none of these new school artists can get me hyped like flava and the boys did. that was the highlight of the night.
Um, how bout 50 being mad about no crowd support during his performance???
Dude caught a tantrum and didn't do the 1st verse to amusement park and Yayo was like "50 what up?"
Then he ended his spot off by saying "Vitamin Water people, Vitamin Water."
I thought he caught himself from cursing out the crowd like he did @ Summer Jam 2005 where the crowd ain't show him no love.
50 = the NEW Ja Rule.
T.I. PURPOSELY DIDN'T SHAKE YAYOS HAND IF YOU LOOKE FIFTY WAS ON THE END OF THE AISLE WITH THE BLUE SUIT LOOKED AT HIM SO WHEN IT WAS FIFTY TIME TO PERFORME HE DIDN'T FORGET A VERSE HE DIDN'T LIKE THE DISRESPECT AND WANTED TO SIZE THE CROWD UP THAT'S WHY HE WALKED THROUGH THE CROWED EVERY BODY HE DISSED ON RECENT SONGS INCLUDING PASSING JAY IF I'M CORRECT SHOWING OR BEING A STRAIGHT "BULLY"LOL......AND THEN SITTING DOWN AT THE END LOOKIN AROUND LIKE I OWN THIS RAP SHIT...HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS WHEN HE WANTS THEN TOPPED OFF I'M GETTING MORE MONEY THAN ALL OF YALL CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY MONEY TALKS SCREAM AT YA BOY!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha TI made me laugh
I wonder what Yayo thinks
Wow. BET is so whack. I hate to say it but be honest with yourself its one of the worst stations every. Its a shame that a station that represents us is grabage. No original shows, no creativity.Look at their line up. all their shows are ripped from other networks. And the BET awards is a perfect example of that. Sure the artist work hard for their awards and the performaces are good but still i just felt like i was watching cause i have too. I know that sounds stupid but i felt by not watching i was going to be behind on news and not to mention other niggas running their mouth about how you aint black if you dont wash BET. Just felt like talking. Aubody else feel that way?
This year was wack the line up didn't have anyone really new..diddy,50,beyonce we seen these ppl so much and I know there were other ppl with hits this year that could of been doing it on stage.
shit was wack...i'm disappointed by that show...i dunno if 50 messed up or he was mad the crowd wasn't gettin' into it or what but that shit was garbage and thats the only performance besides public enemy that i wanted to see...
^^^ Agree...the only perfomances i liked were T.I. and T-Pain. Shoulda had Chris Brown perform Wall to Wall, that woulda been hot. And the awards didnt go to deserving artist i.e. Jennifer Hudson-best new artist??? Wayne shoulda got best hip hop artist real talk, and i like T.I., got every album, but Wayne is DOING IT! ya dig me!
yea he left yayo hangin lol i was like ooo mannn but the award show was wack
on and 50 was wit ciara again i think he really is hitting that or seriously trying
I gotta agree wit livin proof that wuz wack strait up i wuz very very disappointed
All the rap acts were boring except Public Enemy. The R&B acts held it down last night.
Matic,
That Chrisette Michelle CD is fire.
yeah , the rap acts were wack. it hurts me to say that, but its true.
r&b held it down.

COSIGN.
50 shoulda performed straight to the bank caus the crowd coulda gotten into that song more than amusement park, and could ciara like not sing or something??
Mane yall some lame ass dudes, stop riding ti or tips dick, that nig is weak as fuck. He was straight a couple of albums ago, but yall know that king shit was wack as fuck, and get over it he probally cant even beat his own childs ass. Am I the only one who thinks this split personality shit is wack as fuck, this nig interviews himself everywhere he goes and tip always roast ti for being wack, well guess what, he is 1 person and that person is slaw.
i feel u on that ti shit he was nice 2 albums ago but these past 2 albums aint shit in my book
50 mic was off he tryed to say whats up and the mic was dead at the begining thats why he was pacing around like that and laughing
I thought it was a solid award show all together I mean your gonna have a few screw ups and not every performance isnt gonna be hott but for the BET awards it was a success and I thought it was good but T.I. shut that shit down when came out.... King of South because when his album comes out it will be his time...
yea my blood niggas birdman an weezy won veiwer choice award
weezy gonna take the king of the south crown from t.i. fuck t.i. nasty nati nigga
bloods up
^ Nigga stop foolin ya self aint no BLoods In Cincy u juss like ya Boy Weezy fake ass Blood lol
didnt get a chance to watch it, but did bone thugs perform on stage? if they did, i hope they did flowmotion or streets.
I FUCK WITH T.I HARD BUT IT WAS NOT HIS YEAR TO GET IT THEY JUST GAVE AWARDS TO WHO THEY WANTED TO WIN.THANK GOD FOR VIEWERS CHOICE AWARD THE PEOPLE SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR ON WHO THE BEST AT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what get you outta here nigga come down to cincy you gon see that there is bloods down her yall detroit niggas think yall hard get you lame ass niggas outta here
DID YALL NOTICE SUMTHING IN COMMON ABOUT THE FOLKS THAT SAID THE B.E.T. AWARDS WAS WACK?
I Peep'd the Tony yayo shit too! That was crazy but guess what this was the worse awards show ever! That's real talk! back in the days i use to ook forward to seeing award shows i dont even look forward to watching another BET awards! This shit was horrible! 50 mic wasnt on, Kelly rowland sounded horrible, Beyonce was wack, Ciara was horrible, The best performances were the old skool ones! Thank God for the old skool! Jennifer Hudson did her thing! Yo this show altogether was horrible straight up! & fuck weezy Neyo should have got viewers chioce I guess they wanted to give Weezy something cuz Neyo fans compared to Lil Wayne fans there's just no comparison!
HaHaHa yeah weezy had that red flag tucked in last night!
Okayy so the show wasnt as good as everyone was hypin it up to be...you dig, the big MAIN EVENT!yeah yeah yeah, it was alright. 50 proved how fuckin dumb he is with that gay as fuck amusement park preformance. Ciara looked pretty but she look skinnier, and she needa learn that if you dance so hard,your not gonna be singin so good boo. Beyonce was....Beyonce, Michelle looked like a fool tryna pop sumthin on the lil stand thing,Kelly was trynna show out Beyonce. Neyo,Fab,n TI wasnt nuthin special. Jennifer Hudson looked TERRIBLE in that dress, and Jennifer Holiday sounded TERRIBLE with that performance.T Pain was hilarious with his little square act.Keyshia Killed it, Diddy was fruity, Kim shoulda re-thought her wardrobe of choice. The black n proud deal was um fine i guess. Robin Thicke is super, but homie cant sing lost without you live, and to top off the evening WAYNE won the viewers choice, and looked extravagent doing so...for the slow ones that means the FANS voted for HIM.So all you wayne haters on this site can take a few years off of your job because he IS that dude.heck yeah nigga

Matic,
That Chrisette Michelle CD is fire.
- Aiyyo, Ra, I copped it about 20 mins. ago for $10 at Best Buy! Through 4 tracks, you're right, it's FIRE!!!!
This adds to the list of cd's I've actually, physically purchased in 2007:
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (CLASSIC ) (joints w/Ghostface & her new remix with Jay-Z are Vicious!)
Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae (FIRE)
Jill Scott - Collaborations (joint w/Lupe is Vicious!)
Redman - Red Gone Wild (FIRE)
Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad (for someone else, actually) (not 2 bad, actually)
Beyonce' - B'Day Rerelease (graduation present for someone) (not 2 bad, actually)
Lloyd - Street Love (graduation present for someone) (joint with 3000 & Nas is FIRE!)
Bobby Valentino - Special Occasion (graduation present for someone)
Chrisette Michelle - I Am
Notice there is only ONE Rap album, which was FIRE by the way, on my list. Hip-Hop is on Life Support... STILL... all this "stuff" is supposed 2 drop this summer; I SURE HOPE SO... I'M SICK OF THIS SNAP-CRACKILY-POP DOWN SOUTH CRAP...
P.S.

I was BEING SARCASTIC, BY THE WAY, JOKESTA & STAFF...
Matic, you bought Lloyd's album?......smh
I bought it for my female 17 year old cousin's high school graduation, as a gift! I figured she'd enjoy it! I copped her that Beyonce (can you ever go wrong with Beyonce?) and Bobby Vee and Lloyd... Cut me some slack!
I was @ the register knowin' I was only gettin her 3 cds, and I had that Joe, Ne-Yo, R.Kelly, and a couple other new joints in my hands, as well, and had 2 make a quick decision!
Yeah, and this one time I bought a dildo..but it wasn't for me, it was for my 3rd cousins baby mother's sister's niece who just found out she was pregnant. I bought it so she'd know she was fucked for the rest of her life.
WHO GIVES A FUK ABOUT YAYO....HES NO FACTOR
hahahaa, aiight Jokesta! I'ma take that one on the chin... JUST START puttin us up on the upcoming releases dude! I bet YOU copped that Chrisette Michele on time, you stingy ass dude hoggin all da in4mation 4 y4self!
Aight bottom line is Weezy shoulda won Best Hip-Hop Artist bottom line. T.I. is hot fo real but Weezy been consistent wit his muzik for some years now. T.I. only won fo real cuz he real close to the BET staff.

That's a funny ass statement. Why would he get that award? For being on everyone elses album and mixtapes.
damn right my nigga lebron james is the best athlete, after he dropped 48 points on the pistons and gave rasheed wallace the dunk of his life lmao

EAzyy thats wat i was thinkin where was Game at. maybe that 50 cent rumor was true. idk im just saying.
I ain't no hater or anything, but J. Hudson for best new artist. This chick had one video, and that was just a clip from the movie she was in, and from my knowledge, one or two callobs, most recent, the joint with Ne Yo. She can sing better than most, no doubt. Again best actress, get the fuck outta here!!! She was cool in Dreamgirls, but damn, can people please get off her extra large and round, near near perfect tits. Straight up. 100
Thats really talk,and she don't got no ablum what the F@#%. Lupe should of won. EARILY!!!!!!!!!
