Jay-Z
Nelly
Snoop Dogg
Ja Rule
Mystikal
What the fuck kind of selection is that?
That's just one of the categories...
-

yeah even though i wish it's Snoop... it's probabaley gonna be Jay-Z
Peace

Here's the order of who has had the best years out of the 5
Serious MCs
1. Jay Z - Dropped the best and most successful album
2. Snoop Dogg - Dropped a nice and pretty successful album
R U Joking!
3. Ja Rule - Dropped the best album of the three but unlike the two above he is a flash in the pan
4. Nelly - erm, he's more talented than Mystikal
5. Mystikal - untalented, eardrum damaging muthafucca!

Are you joking? "Tha Last Meal" was 20 times better than "The Dynasty"...

"Tha Last Meal" was 20 times better than "The Dynasty"...
true... my choice,,, bigg snoop dogg ;D
-
how the hell would jay-z win he didn't really have a blow up hit this year and his album tanked....maybe last year he woulda won but he's not winning this year this year Jay-z hasn't really done anything ...Snoop on the other hand has been EVERYWHERE and the last meal is still holding strong with 2.5 albums sold, ja rule and Nelly are the only ones you really have to worry bout but more than likely (i'm not just saying this becuase i like snoop) but Snoop has the best chance of winning...oh yeah The Dynasty is probably the worst album out of all 5 of those album i'd pick up Country Grammar, Rule 3:36 and Unpredictable than that Dynasty album...horrible horrible album Jay-z is capable than more than that
-
Between Ja Rule & Jigga. If they give the award to Nelly I'ma shoot up their Burbank studio.
-
yea jay-z didnt have a hit..i only heard that "i just wanna love u" joint everywhere i went for 3 months straight..and his album tanked, it only sold 2.5 million i think
i dunno what u people expect...how can u say that this award show is "biased"..wtf??? who are they supposed to nominate?? mc ren?? ice cube?? xzibit?? ras kass?? bad azz?? wtf did they do anyway?? besides maybe xzibit...this is BET people..
those basically were the 5 biggest acts of the year..
who cares though..
bet awards are gonna be wack...i think their gonna have lil bow wow, destinys child, nelly performin..the mtv awards are usually entertaining, but they actually get big celebrities there and shit...NOBODY will be at the bet awards..
basically its an expanded version of 106 & PARK..
fuck award shows!!
i see nelly winning that category though..
oh yea..i think 3lw and bow wow are up against each other..for new artist of the year..damn, cant wait to see who wins that..lmao
gay ass award show
-
i don't think the award show is biast those were the biggest acts of the year.... no question BUT why is jay-z up there his album dropped off the charts pretty fast for the so called "best rapper in the game" and his album only sold 1.6 million copies it was awarded double platnum but it didn't sell over 2 million plus most of those sales are from the east coast...tha last meal has sold 2.5 million copies and is still on the charts ja rule and nelly sold more than both of them so i ain't saying quanity of records sold is all that counts but jay-z didn't do any thing all that big to get in there, they just needed another male artist in there to fill out the nominies it's like the grammy's 2 years ago when they had the best new artist running they had like brintey christina macy gray and some other chick no one really thought would be in there, they only really had 4 real nominies but needed a 5 to fill it out , now i ain't dissing jay-z AT ALL but damn if jay-z wins that'll be sad becuase he didn't do anything all that great THIS YEAR! if it was a year or so ago i'd give jigga the nod unless dre was in there too, but this year no, he doesn't deserve it, that's like giving Karl Malone the MVP this year...it's like what all did he do this year yeah he is still a big name but Allen Iverson, Shaq,
Tim Duncan, and Kobe did more this year to deserve it. Hell it would make more sence to me if Nelly or Ja Rule won it than jay-z, even though i like jay-z waaaaaaaaaay more than those 2 i still think it'd be only right since they (i'll say it again) DID MORE, but Snoop should win it (not because he's my favorite) but because he's done so much this year and done it all so well
-
WellmI'm not sure if that's the official category name, but if it is, they could at least change it to something else. like "Male artists with the biggest hit in 2000-01" or some shit.
Oh well, fuck it
-
For real!
Last Meal outsold Dynasty! - whoa! OK Snoop should win then - but you're wrong about I just Wanna love you - that was a huge hit (here at least)
Safe
-
Now that i think about it... i have a feeling Nelly might win this shit... it should be Bigg Snoop though
Peace
-
I woulda thought Dynasty sold more than that. Like triple Platinum.
-
Thats what i thought...
-
Yo Fellas.....come to expect when it comes to award shows.....that the nominees will always be fucked up......there are lots of artist out on the west coast...like Tash..and others..that dont get any love...that question could go on and on....shit wont change........
Remember....BET is owned by Viacom......who also owns...Vh-1, MTV, and the now defunct The Box..............
Again...dont expect the award shows to change......
we need magazines like murderdogg to host a real award show.......
i look at it like whoever came tight.......with the lyrics..and the beats......
Nelly is aight...but and Ja rule is ok......but Snoop was puttin it down....on his CD, Dr.Dre, ruff ryder vol.2, L.L., and numerous others.....he has put in work.....
-
Nawshis summed it up best by saying it's an expanded version of 106 @ park. I'll probably watch this wack show just to see what it will have seeing that there will probably be nothing else better to watch.

i hope jay z wins
in my opiniojn the dynasty was an ill albumm and jay is still on of the main trend setters in this game.
sure he got a lot of hate but i was pleasently suprised by his album (the intro, this cant be life, soon you'll understand were classic) where as i was dissapointed by snoops
dont tear me up or nothing, remember thats my opinion...but i think one of the main reasons why jay z has so much hate is cos hes STILL proving motherfuckers wrong.
peace.
