Before I even go any further, there is a big difference between the recently concluded BET Awards and this one.
This particular award is for the Hip-Hop heads.
Anyways, for the second time consecutively, veteran American rapper Snoop Dogg would be on stage as the host of the BET Hip-Hop Awards.
The event, which is billed to hold on October 14 at the Atlanta Civic Center in the United States of America, will have the Dogg Father and one of rap’s greatest figures retained as host when proceedings kick off.
This year, Drake has more to show for his efforts than the lap dance with Nicki Minaj, as he leads the pack of nominees with eight nominations to his name.
Other leading acts in the entire nominees line-up are Jay Z, Pharrell and Future who follow closely on the trail of Drake with six nods each.
