Kanye West, the topic of everyone’s conversation, is leading with 9 nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, GA that airs next month. BET is the sister company to MTV, so we really wonder how all this is going to turn out… especially if he wins.

The collective universe (current and former presidents included) may still be hard at work condemning Kanye West’s actions at this past Sunday’s VMA Awards, but someone still loves him.

The divisive hip-hop star leads the pack of BET Hip Hop Award nominees this week with nine — including Best Live Performer, Lyricist of the Year, CD of the Year, and MVP of the year, as well as People’s Champ (a.k.a. Viewers Choice).

Ice Cube will be honored as this year’s “I Am Hip-Hop” Icon Award recipient, and the late DJ AM garners a nod for for DJ of the Year. Two new categories have also been added: “Made-You-Look Award (Best Hip Hop Style)” and “Best Hip-Hop Blog Site.”

Will Kanye’s current mea culpa tour be sufficiently wrapped up for him to attend the show, slated for October 10 in Atlanta? When reached for comment, a BET spokeswoman said, “Most guests start confirming next week or the first week in October, so we wouldn’t really know yet. But we would love to have him there!”

What do you think, Music Mixers — a nice opportunity for ‘Ye to make nice, or better that he stay away and focus on “taking the time off and just analyze” his recent behavior? What do you think of the other nominations?

    As it should well be..Kanye is a genius!!
    That Taylor chick should be lucky for all the publicity that has come her way because of Kanye.

    franky

    Hope he will win all 9 awards…he is one of the greatest artists of our time.period.

    Miss Kesha (twitter .com/miss_kesha)

    People need to get over that. He apologized several times already….time to move on. His music is great, can’t deny that.

    Alrighty Then... (why do all of the "men" on Bossip argue w/ *****es?)

    wow… I am sorry, but I listened to 808’s and Heartbreak once, and it really wasn’t of my own accord. I didn’t dig it. On the other hand, it should be interesting to see what kind of ignorance he pulls out of his ***** this time.

    Diva

    I hope he wins THEM ALL!!! ***** what everybody is saying about him, Kanye is the *****ing truth!!!! I appreciate the fact that he speaks his mind. He shouldn’t have to apologize for being honest. Last time I checked, it was a free *****ing country & you can say what the hell you want to say!

    Kanye is a visionary; I love his thoughts, ideas, everything. No matter how the media will try to play him out right now, I will continue to back him up 100%. I will still listen to his music, still buy his albums, still support anything that has to do with him because he is the truth.

    They are really milking the Kanye/Taylor Swift thing & it’s start to make me sick. GET THE ***** OVER IT ALREADY YOU MORONS!!!!

    NADINE

    I LOVE KANYE, HE IS THE BOSS!!SO WHAT IF HE GOT ROUDY!!TAYLOR IS REALLY LUCKY TAHT KANYE MADE HER EVEN MOPRE FAMOUS!!!OH BTW SHE DID NOT DESERVE TAHT AWARD AND THAT DRESS WAS HORRIBLE!!KANYE SHOULD WIN AT LEAST SIX AWARDS!!KANYE FOR LIFE!!TALENTED BROTHA!!

    strange but true

    it goes to show how ignorant some of you people are. do you know what kanye subjected black folks to in general is paying for it.. its called “blacklash” folks. ya running around here think’n life is just one big party…. us negro’s just want to party all the time; party all the time… just like in the desert worship’n all ya golden idol’s and make believe new kings of pop. while the white racist male is sharpening his knives and gett’n his ***** lined up… you negro’s don’t know. a negro pearl harbor might be looming.. so don’t you negros “nap” to hard. what is it going to take, another MOSES to come off the mountain and hit you negros in the head w/ some more stone tablets…. damn black folks ie; my pee-ple’s.my pee-ple’s

    miss dior

    He spoke the truth, just at the wrong place.lol

    NADINE

    YOU KNOW HE DID SPEAK THE TRUTH JUST AT THE WRONG PLACE!!!KANYE IS THE BOSS I JUST LOVE HIS MUSIC. KANYE. kANYE!!!kANYE TO THE WORLD!!!

    Alrighty Then... (why do all of the "men" on Bossip argue w/ *****es?)

    And Obama spoke the truth when he called him a jack*****. Just at the wrong place and time. What is the big deal about that? According to some folk’s logic, it doesn’t matter when, where, or how you say what you say, so long as it is the truth. Tact and respect have no place in today’s society, and that is sad.

    WordtotheWise

    I can’t believe this is still a topic. The man apologized, and as someone up top said, Taylor got more publicity than ever. We all do stupid things at time. I’m not a Kanye fan, but I did feel people way WAAAAY overboard with this madness.

    ok

    He did speak the truth but it was the wrong time and place..he know mtv awards is for “white” folks…hell..do that ***** at the BET awards..lol…altough it was rude of him..He apologized too many times if you ask me…Dam Joe wilson ***** apologize once…Hell I woulda apologize once to her *****….Now she even more popular, album sales up and all that *****…She better thank Kayne *****

    blu buddafly

    sigh look kids….listen real close. The VMA and The BET Hip Hop Awards and all these awards are fake fake fake fake fake. Due to the the backlash Kanye will get maybe one award. And the producers are secretly hoping he’ll spazz out again!

    Good For Ratings!!!!!!!!

    jay32

    The hiphop awards is just as ghetto and hood as everything else BET does to represent black people I mean soulja boy is nominated for best style and he can’t dress for ***** he needs a new stylist and I’m so sick of people nominating Drake for ***** like he has done something to get nominated. Last time I checked you needed an album out to be nominated for something. The entertainment industry is *****ed up.

    Diva

    Yes it was at the wrong place and the wrong time, but still HE SAID WHAT HE SAID NOW LET’S MOVE ON…

    How about we talk about what his girl Amber Rose is doing? That’s a bad b*tch & I love her style….

    Dr. Booty Itch

    Since when 808 & Heartbreak was a hip hop album?..lol

    enkogkneegro

    WTF…..I see ignorance runs rampant in here on Saturdays. How the ***** is ole girl lucky? some iggnant drunk muffuga steps in and ruins her big night and steals a moment from her that is gone forever…..ya’ll either must be kids or don’t have any kids becasue if you did you’d know just how *****ed up it was and thats its not just a get over it moment. In response to the he helped her out because now folks know who she is?….Folks already knew who she was thats why her ***** out sold damn near everyone else and if you noticed damn near every word spoken prior to the show was about her. I can see supporting a brotha who’s made an honest mistake and honestly knows it but this was his pattern before his mom died and his arrogance has only grown,,,when these entertainers are allowed to go unchecked and we still support them it most always ends up tragic. We support bull***** from them rather than send the message that we expect better, so they continue right on to the grave either shot, overdosed and In alot of cases jail……see the bigger picture damn!!

    DayShifter

    The whole music/radio industry ***** is rigged…. Why do ya’ll waste time watching that sh*it?!?! Like someone posted above, that ***** is going to be as predictable as hell!!

    Hannibal

    somebody gimme a *****in ***** to suck

    white male

    Hopefully young black males look up to Obama and not this list of thugs nominated for awards

    I think you Taylor Swift fans are right and it’s cool that ya’ll are coming to her defense and supporting her. But after 4 apologies and a national backlash, there comes a time when you have to forgive. I know it’ll take you fans sometime to get over it, and that understandable. I felt bad for her too, but should he keep apologizing forever? How long does he have to be in the doghouse? It’s been a week….I’m glad most of us have moved on. But still, Taylor Swift fans have a right to be upset, and hopefully ya’ll will forgive him soon. I think he genuinely feels bad about what he did.

    9 nomination, huh. hmmm, BET owned by MTV, now i’m starting to wonder about all those ‘publicity stunt’ rumors. it’ll be confirmed once the ratings for this award show are in.

    B'More

    hopefully someone from the country music world comes and interrupts him. then i’d like to see how many of you will still say ‘what he did was right’.

    hellonursenancy

    BET, i’m really happy for you, and ima let you finish, but VH1 had the best hip-hop awards show of all time! Of all time!

    808s & heartbreak is a year old, no? Wasn’t he nominated last year? “Live your life”, “pop champagne”, “mrs. officer”….they all seem so 2 years ago….

    YE fan

    CONGRADS to Kanye, he deserves the 9 nominations.

    Keep Making Good Music.

    WordtotheWise

    B’More>>>Anyone who says what Kanye did was right is a moron. What he did was rude and just plain ole wrong, but I still think people blew this WAY out of proportion. It’s over and done with, so people really need to move on. I’m sure Taylor has. This incident, in my opinion, is just not that serious.

    P.S. For those of you who are still so incensed about this, I hope you put this kind of energy into issues involving making this world a better place. Again, the incident is OVER AND DONE WITH. When white folks do us wrong, we don’t even carry on to this extent. If we do, it’s over and done, and we forget about it. Taylor got her moment, thanks to Beyonce. I’m sure she’s moved on so why can’t some of you? Sheesh!

    @Miss Keisha

    Though I knew who she was from her time on Idol and heard her name and how well her music was doing a fan I’m not. My taste in music is more or less Mary J., Kem, Eric Benet with some Ludacris when I’m feelin it. I do feel as you that he’s made his apology and a number of times and he’ll have to take his lumps and ride it out and life will go on. The post was not about Kanye per say but to point of how some ride or die for celebrities regardless of their acts, Point is if Kanye himself understands how *****ed up it was why can’t others like some of those up in here? She’s lucky? He did her a favor? Him being real as they say applies only to those who agree with him and share his taste in music but as a R&B lover it doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate someone elses acheivements within another genre of music and be happy for them. Something tells me that despite what some of his fanbase thinks “keeping it real” really means that when he goes up to accept his award or awards at the BET event he’ll take a moment and really “keep it real” and speak on it in a grown up real man way that’ll make us all proud….I have more faith in his brilliance than his ignorance. Outside of you *****uming I was a Taylor Swift fan your post was very well thought out….

    bcan

    hell he probably won’t even show up. i’ll be surprised. the other people won’t be there either – they don’t go to the “black” award shows….which is really sad….

    Larry

    He’s gonna be nervous as hell getting his award

    I agree that we have way more pressing issues to deal with and on a personal note I do as I’m very involved in my community. In all honesty I think it was a horrible thing he did and he apologized and will pay for it in a monetary way somehow and hopefully will move on and do even greater things. What I’ve tried to adress as always is our thinking on issues and how it amazes me that we’ll thump our chests and say ***** like “Keepin it real”……but when they need to be “keeping it real” like showing up at townhalls or protesting ***** like the woman getting beat in Georgia or te hfools getting bolder and bolder with these signs, guns and racial slurs they they love to say in the camers minus their hoods…..other than blog some if I ever ***** they quiet as churh mice….Kanye is gonna do Kanye but on a larger note we as black folks have to do us and the lack of integrity or minor ***** causes me concern regarding the larger picture…its like we did what we needed to do and voted in our first black president then went back to ***** as usual not understanding that it was just the beginning of our standing up not the end of it…

    Unbought_and_Unafraid

    B.E.T. would nominate a damn plate of pig feet as “cuisine of the year” —- so who *****ing cares about this *****?

    Lovie

    Lil Wayne, TIP, Jay Z and Kanye better walk away with at least one. They are hip-hop’s heavyweights and none of them deserve to lose!

    BKLYNZ OWN

    ***** THAT OVERRATED ***** ***** CORN-YE…..YEA IM A HATER,I DONT LIKE THAT *****

    SHOUT OUTS TO JAYZ…

    kelleykel09

    yeah he should win something and attend, because first of all he deserves it he’s judge by his music not him being an a$$hole or not. second of all the $hit is old now and done with. he apologized, build a bridge and get the f*ck over it, my god!!!

    ok

    the bigger picture is..Kayne apoligozied so now move the f*k on…….

    Good!

    In all honesty I think it was a horrible thing he did and he apologized and will pay for it in a monetary way somehow and hopefully will move on and do even greater things.

    Yes, it was tacky and flat our rude, but it just seems to me that other “celebrities” or what have you (i.e. white) have done worse and the backlash isn’t quite as severe as what Kanye has been experiencing. Remember when Isaih Washington made that “*****” comment, and they took him to task, fired him from his show, and make him attend some kind of sensitivity course? Mike Vick fought dogs and you would’ve thought he was a serial killer (I’m not saying he was right in what he did, and I DO NOT like anyone who is cruel to animals, period). He almost lost his football career. So here you have Kanye who, on an award show, made an ***** of himself and took Taylor’s shine, and now, the whole world is going koo koo over coco puffs, including black people. Yet when whites do ***** against US, which they’ve been doing on a daily basis since President Obama stepped into office, we don’t seem to have the tenacity or ferver to combat it like other groups do. Some black people even think other blacks are “too sensitive” when they make a stink about it.”

    What I’ve tried to adress as always is our thinking on issues and how it amazes me that we’ll thump our chests and say ***** like “Keepin it real”……but when they need to be “keeping it real” like showing up at townhalls or protesting ***** like the woman getting beat in Georgia or te hfools getting bolder and bolder with these signs, guns and racial slurs they they love to say in the camers minus their hoods…..other than blog some if I ever ***** they quiet as churh mice….

    I agree 100%. That is absolutely true. Somehow we lost that sense of community and drive that was evident back in the 60’s. It’s a shame that this case with Kanye has gotten so much play and comments from bloggers. I saw this story on another blog earlier this week and there were only 4 comments. FOUR!!!

    Kanye is gonna do Kanye but on a larger note we as black folks have to do us and the lack of integrity or minor ***** causes me concern regarding the larger picture…its like we did what we needed to do and voted in our first black president then went back to ***** as usual not understanding that it was just the beginning of our standing up not the end of it…

    Here! Here! So many black people were fooled into believe that the Obama era was going to really bring about change in our community. WE are the change. Obama cannot save us. Thank God for people like you, me and others who get out there in the trenches (I don’t so much anymore as I am taking care of my sick, elderly mom, but I do my share) and are trying to make the changes necessary for the advancement of our community and the world around us.
