Showcasing past and present music icons, this year's BET HIP HOP AWARDS takes the competition to a whole new level with scheduled appearances by a slew of hip hop heavyweights including GZA, Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon, Masta Killa, U-God, Inspectah Deck and RZA. Adding to the hype, rapper Jadakiss will pump up the crowd as celebrity announcer, while the famed DJ Drama spins all night. A special tribute will also be paid to female pioneers in hip hop who have paved the way for women in a predominantly male industry.


As previously announced, actor/comedian Katt Williams will host the BET HIP HOP AWARDS, and legendary hip-hop veteran Russell Simmons will be honored with the "I Am Hip Hop" Icon Award.

BET will team up with Cossette Productions, the famed producers of the GRAMMY Awards® and the seven record-setting BET AWARDS shows, to handle production of the telecast. Stephen G.

He'll (Game) probably perform My Life since thats the latest official single he put out.

[h2k4]

Lets see if Game has stepped up his live performance game.  Definitely needs a hype man.  I wonder why they decided to have Rage in there.

[OchoCinco]

[Booz]

Lady of Rage? Now that's a great surprise.

Game is unconsistent just like the rest of the rappers. Sometimes the nigga does a great live performance and sometimes he dont.

But damn cant nobody say that Busta aint that dude when it comes to live performances the nigga has so much energy and shit haha.

But seems like the Hip-Hop awards step'd their game up this year lets hope the outcome is good.

Ohh and h2k4, Games performance on the BET show 3 years ago (2005) performing Dreams and Hate It Or Love It Remix with Mary J was classic performance with his son and all that.

Yeah, that was a good performance but like you said, he's inconsistent.  I think he needs a hype man because when he does the whole thing himself, he runs out of breath or he'll skip a few lines to catch his breath.  Busta has crazy energy though.  He gets the crowd hyped.

Co-sign, I've seen Busta at least 4 - 5 times and DMX twice and I'll say those dudes are consistent with the performances and get the crowd going nuts!
