BET Hip-Hop Awards went down in Atlanta yesterday:

T.I. didn’t need to attend the BET Hip-Hop Awards to win two trophies on Saturday. The rapper, who is locked up in an Arkansas penitentiary on a federal weapons conviction, won the best collaboration award with Rhianna for the song “Live Your Life” and the album of the year award for “Paper Trail.” His fiancee Tameka “Tiny” Cottle accepted his awards at the ceremony in Atlanta and read a letter by the rapper, who began serving a yearlong sentence in late May. “Although I’m not there with you all, I’m there in spirit,” Cottle quoted the rapper as writing. “My road to redemption is almost over. … Thanks for the support.” Jay-Z was honored as the “MVP of the Year,” while Drake took home “Rookie of the Year,” and Ice Cube received the “I Am Hip-Hop” icon award. Ice Cube said he was humbled by the award, and he believes his career as filmmaker could earn him more honors in the future. He helped launch the gangsta rap genre with the group NWA, and he starred in “Barbershop” and “Friday,” which he also co-wrote.

“When you get recognized by your peers for a life of work, you got to be humbled,” the rap veteran said. “I’m honored by this. I have 20 more years of work left in me. I hope (BET) is ready to give out two of these awards.”

Rapper Busta Rhymes presented the award for “DJ of the Year” to DJ AM, the celebrity spinner who died of an accidental drug overdose in August. Kanye West, meanwhile, couldn’t hijack the stage, because the rapper was a no-show. West had been expected to attend the fourth annual awards show. He fell under scrutiny for interrupting Taylor Swift’s award-winning moment at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z took the stage with Young Jeezy to perform “Real as It Gets” and rap group Goodie Mob performed its 1995 song “Cell Therapy.”

Love Ice cube, never had to sell out. Will always support him, in whatever he does…

@redbones/haveno*****- you would know, you’re the only one spending time everyday, hating on your own. I personally thin that they should ge rid of all island people, since they aren’t civilized to begin with, starting with you and your w***** of a mother…She screwed blk, otherwise you wouldn’t be here..If she was as smart, as you claim to be, then she would’ve never given birth to a mutt…

It’s good though that she recognizes her place, and you do too, sucking up and kissing up to whts. May they always keep you and your entire family underneath their pasty feet.

about T.I. – it is not commendable, that he went to prison/ jail…BUT at least he is still making money and not just sitting there wasting away. I hope that when he comes out, he will remember the trouble and turn away from that lifestyle. I hope him and Tiny get married, they make a cute couple…

@haveno*****- instead of wasting day after day, loving/jocking wht folks, why don’t you get you an operaton, so you can try to be one..Hell, a transgender surgery woud be even better, then you could become a wht female and get to be all over m*****a’s 2 inch stick…I know that would make you so happy, becoming the wht *****, tht you have always been. And the best sellout want to be wht ***** that you mother raised you to be…

everyone pitch in for this sack of *****e and get him a sex change and xkin color change (Michael Jackson- anyone??) then he can STILL work for bossip, only now as a wht woman, then he can really keep hating

What’s funny to me is BET claimed Chris couldn’t do a MJ tribute, but gave TI an award for that show and 2 for this show. I like TI, but what are silencers and *****ault weapons used for? Exactly, but we crucify one and not the other. We wonder why our kids think violence is okay.

I agree that Jay-Z didn’t deserve the MVP of the year award. He didn’t even have an album out last year. So what the f**k!!
