cyphers is actually old school hip hop shit...when a bunch of MC's are in a circle just rapping straight crazy lyrics & they picked some real good MC's for this years show..nah, Alfa is a nobody right now...he's the dude featured in T.I.'s new single "hurt'" along with busta rhymes...Alfa is a T.I. protege...since T.i was arrested hours before these awards, alfa & busta went ahead and performed there parts from hurt and both repeatedly yelled "free t.i.p." at the end of there performance..best part was, they brought a lot of energy, good performance

Alfa did alright but Busta stumbled over his verse imo... plus without TI there it just wasn't the same.
Highlights of the show were the Duffle Bag Boys performance and Melyssa Ford. GOTDAMN @ Melyssa Ford. Canada stay supplyin yall with dime pieces.

I was weirded out that Bun B didn't thank Three 6 for the beat for Int'l Players Anthem, but its not a big deal.
lmao @ Kanye... wearin the tightest, brightest pink pants as possible.

smh @ Hurricane Chris performing A Bay Bay... atleast he only had one verse. Unfortunately, Soulja Boy ran through Crank Dat TWICE as the closer.
Also, the nominees were wack as fuck. Every award was the same: Common, Jay-Z, Kanye West, lil Wayne and T.I. They didn't even try. Common winning lyricist was cool, but I felt that Nas deserved it more, and he didn't even get a nomination - not to mention the Roots, Lupe, and a bunch of other people. Seriously, TI, lyricist of the year? How was Jay an MVP? What about Akon, T-Pain, and Timbaland?
Good thing a BET award means nothing.

yea alfa did his thing, busta kinda had to stumble over his verse with all the cursing he does, but he brought a good dose of energy to the performance i thought..props 2 alfa for really really doin his thing on his 1st big performance
member, bet awards is always gonna be mainstream..can't say T.i ain't 1 of the best lyricists out of the mainstream pool right now
and GOD DAMN at melissa ford :o :o :o

You shouldn't watch BET or MTV, ESPECIALLY to learn about music (actually, you shouldn't watch them at all). Those stations appeal to retards and 8 year olds - thats it.

for the most part "Hurt" was good but woulda been better if tip was there

Anyone got a vid of You Know What It Is? I missed that one.

To be real - all Hip Hop award show suck and have sucked in recent years. The last time I saw a good Hip Hop award show (not just 1 good performance) was back in like the early 2000's when the Source awards were still relevant.

Tell me, how would you put together a hip-hop award show that wouldn't suck? To be fair, I don't think it's even possible to put together a bunch of performances and awards that's even half way decent, with the way the current state of music is looking.
Be glad to correct me if I'm wrong.

well i think it depends who is performing. if it is like dre snoop cube eminem nas and jay-z and all like the heavyweights up there i think it would be good. but if you got hurricane chris and soulja boy followed by gucci mayne and plies as the finale then it will obv. suck big dick. but sadly thats how they do these award shows :-\

lmao. An award show with Dre and Snoop performing their old ass hits. Is that what you have hopes of?
Seriously though. Rap has evolved, while most people on this board are standing still right inside of it. If these 'Hurricane Chris', 'Soulja Boy' and 'Gucci Mayne' are running the charts these days, don't get mad at them dominating the award shows as well. Don't blame yourself for standing still, and don't blame the industry for moving on. It's just the way things are going - expecting to be amazed at the BET Awards is just ridiculous, really.

i really don't give a shit if they dominate the charts. that doesn't mean anything. I'm talking about them performing at award shows for HIP-HOP. It's NOT GOOD hip-hop, and yes i would definatly rather listen to dre and snoop perform old songs. those songs never get old 8)

So don't you think it would be ridiculous for the Source Awards to give Best Rapper 2007 to Dr. Dre, and to have a line-up full of artists like Ice Cube, Eminem and Snoop Dogg? Do you really think that would make these awards more credible? I too like them better than any of these current chart toppers, but that doesn't make them more relevant for the industry right now.

yo my dude, were on the same page...but were reading different books. I'm saying they these guys topping the charts are gay and make terrible music they call "hip-hop". What's gay is it is all horrible mainstream rap. What they should do is go to the westcoast and listen to real music. WC had an incredible album, but he gets no recongnition. So what I'm sayin is tell soulja boy he can dance and make all the ringtone money he wants. but sit the award show out. it's for hip hop, not for people that are desperate for money.

I'm guessing the west coast invitations must of got lost in the post LMAO no hate. I mean yall can say fuck BET but common, even the Chi had more peeps there.
West coast = E 40 and Ras Kas didn't it?
Chi = Twista, Common and Kanye
Shit even UK and Canada got same exposure as west coast at the BET awards. You can say it aint important but it is cause if you think how the west used to have 1/3 of the performers, now its got hardly any and they only invited E 40 cause they didn't give him an award before when he deserved it.
-
they only invited E 40 cause they didn't give him an award before when he deserved it.
I didn't know BET have an award for "worst album" as well?
