And The BET Hip Hop Award Winners Are…

Last night BET aired their annual Hip Hop awards hosted by comedian MIKE EPPS.

Although the award show made headlines earlier this month for all the fighting and altercations between rival rappers, the show did air with more positive moments like a tribute to hip hop business pioneer CHRIS LIGHTY, a Ruff Ryder cypher that included DMX and EVE, and many entertaining performances.

KANYE WEST who was not in attendance, managed to bring home six awards making him the big winner of the night.
