The 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards went off without a hitch… well… I mean, besides that ruckus backstage, but that’s besides the point.

Contrary to popular belief, there were much better things going on in the The Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center besides fights and “reported” gunshots.

GRAND HUSTLE WAS ON FIRE LAST NIGHT! THAT’S ALL
Iggy was definately a sight to see.
obidiponbidi sarkodie from ghana-west africa stand UP!!!! u killed it hands up.
Did this air already? I’m so late. SMH.
The best thing about the BET awards is the cyphers, they should just make that a show. The performances are usually lack luster and the presenters are sometimes off. I keep hoping it will get better, but this time you blink and it was over.
The hip-hop awards were very lackluster this year,and sees that every year it is more and more a yawn fest. Maybe I am just getting too old,I dont know.Since I am over 30 and not from Atlanta,can one of yall please explain to me what is so good about 2Chainz?I am still not fully convinced that it aint Dave Chappelle as Lil jon under all that damn hair!That song he performed sounded like a joke or something that he wrote in the bathroom.The best performance was TI.He had alot of energy and kept my intrest.I also enjoyed the Chris Lighty tribute.My favorite Cyphers of the night were Mystikal,who always gives me everything I need. Talib Kweli,who shaded the FUCK outta BET in the first 4 bars of his rhyme.It was wonderful to see EVE looking gorgeous and basically saying she’s coming for nicki Minaj. It was good to see DMX rappin his ass off! I was glad to see them let Jean Grae do her thing and of course sexy ass Sarkodie from Ghana represent.The "WhoCouldaStayedTheFuckHome Award goes to Meek Mills. Imma give him credit for his rap skills,but his stage presence was not there.Also, his BAWSE Rick Ross,his titties,and his bottom bytch Omarion could have also stayed home.Its always the same thing, titties and fire, or titties and cars, or titties and (insert non muthafukkin factor here).Lawd, and the WTF moment of the night was Kendrick Lamar winniing for lyricist of the year over Nas,Jay-z,and Kanye….really? But this is the same B.E.T who gave Kevin Hart a best actor award over Denzel and Idris Alba. Dear BET get your shit together!
Loved all the cyphers and glad they kept the action going with all the performances but it was more like a concert than an award show…I only saw 3 or 4 awards given out…what the fuh?
I missed it and wasn’t sorry I did either ❤
[...] It was just a few months ago that we were all wondering when and if Keyshia Cole-Gibson‘s new reality show would EVER come to fruition, but it finally premiered last night after the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards. [...]
