Trey Songz Ft Drake Say Ahhh ?? Nah Mate You Mean Fabolous
& Some People Will Say Is Politics But 09 Was Jay-Z Year
who the fuck cares about bet awards… seriously
Best Movie??? LMAO IS THIS A JOKE?????
they expect James Cameron to go to the BET AWARDS ??? LOL
You should probably put B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars since it’s in the best collaboration category.
Also, why didn’t B.o.B get nominated for Best new Artist when he has 2 top 10 songs, but Nicki Minaj and Wale did?
Why didn’t Jay and Alicia Keys get nominated for Best Collaboration? It would have easily won..
Why is Lil Kim nominated when she hasn’t put out new music in forever?
Why isn’t Rik Cordero nominated for Best Director?
Ok, I’ll stop there.
^ Agreed… it lost its credibility in my eyes and I have a feeling some of the big names like Sade won’t be attending or like last year, HOV will do his set then disappear.
@ young
“who the fuck cares about bet awards….seriously”
YOU’D BE ODDLY SURPRISED!!!! SMH!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
THIS NUGGA STAY WINNIN…HOV CANT BE STOPPED!!…”GREATEST RAPPER EVER”
LOL @ the nominees.
BET is so wack. They just throw a bunch of names in the nominees to fill it up.
Won’t be watching
smh @ YN’s blackout
Not the best BET award show…i hope performances include eminem or at least a freestyle like last year.
And good one YN, u murked both of them on that blackout!
Hov got those noms in the bag
who makes these categories, BET is a fukin joke. They better have iLL ass cyphers this year, because thats the only reason i watch these awards.
LOL @Bet awards they are all wack!!!!!!!!
WTF EMINEM GETTING NO NOMINATION WHILE FABOLOUS,Ester Dean, Melanie Fiona, Monica, Lil Kim, Rasheeda (?) or Wale DO???
THIS AWARDS SHOW IS A JOKE + THEY ARE RACIST !!!!!
wack ass JUSTIN BIEBER… I MEAN, REALLY?
F**K You Jay-Z, You Son Of A Bitch!!!!!!
Don’t hate, just call me the truth
How the hell was Empire State of Mind not in the Best Collaboration category?
Hovs gonna sweep em.. I didnt care for bp3 but it grew on me.. I like ridin around bumpin it in the whip..
Bet awards = A minstrel show
This has to be the only awards show I know of where musicians, actors, AND athletes are recognized in the same night. What is BET trying to be? The NAACP? It also annoys me how they have the token white people. BET really can’t complain about being the token at other awards shows when they token everryone else.
Do you think next year they’ll have categories titled “Best Fight” or “Best Kiss” like the MTV MVAs.
all i wanna know is why Distant Relatives hasn’t gotten it’s own post as a new release today. just on some hip hop shit. on some “we document the culture” shit. i’m just sayin….
and while we at it, that The ArchAndroid dropped today too. it ain’t “hip hop” per say, but neither is luda’s lady friend.
why is Lil kim on that list?????
Props 2 YN on the Blackout. Least the shits being acknowledged. Apart from worldstar n here i ain’t seen that bein mentioned anywhere.
Gotta co-sign Nathaniel. That Distant Relatives album is fuckin dope. Best hip hop album of the year so far hands down. RR should def give it a mention.
Beyonce and Hov.. lets go
BET sucks ass. They’re just another MTV or VH1 with all this reality bullshit.
And Eminem will not be included, because of the whole controversial line he dropped in that Cypher last year. BET probably got so much shit for that. Hilarious.
BET this nomination is straight random besides the usual suspects. BTW where’s J.cole?
Go get ’em, Tiger!
SO Eminem doesn’t get a nomination, but Justin Bieber does?
I guess BET really still have it in for him, even though he’s tried to fix the problem numerous times.
Oh well. Even as a black male in my early 20’s, I have to say, it’s the biggest coon fest award show.
I mean the likes of Nicki Minaj will just infest it even more so.
I was going to write a concise critique of some of the nominations…but then it hit me, this is BET. I mean this is BET. BET. I don’t know anybody who takes that station seriously (note I didn’t say nobody takes that station seriously).
Meh, maybe I’m just not hip
Best New Artist:
Justin Bieber
Melanie Fiona
Nicki Minaj
Wale
Young Money<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hahaha ARTIST?? There's like 27 of those motherfuckers!
@ dashing..its because alot of it is still classed as 2009’s music thats why you got WALE there! its just like next year you will see shit like song of the year eminem-not afraid ( not my choice just an example)
This old man ain’t PLAYING! LMFAO.
LMFAO
Why would J Cole be nominated for anything, the dude hasn’t released a single or been on any single this year.
* O . K . LISTEN 🙂 ! IT’S TIME FOR THE REAL NAKED TRUTH ! YYYEESSS…..!!!!! WE ALREADY KNOW *M$. LIL’KIM THE QUEEN BEE ! OF RAP ! IS THE GREATEST FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIME ! (RIGHT!) ! RIGHT ! IS B.E.T. TRYING TO BE FUNNY ? CAUSE OUR QUEEN OF RAP HASN’T DROPPED HER NEW C.D. YET ! OR BEEN ON ANYONE’S BIG SINGLE IN A WHILE ! UNLESS THEIR TALKING ABOUT DOWNLOAD ! THAT’S CUTE ! BUT I FEEL THEY OWE THE QUEEN FOR THE NAKED TRUTH ! BUT, THEY JUST PUT HER ON THERE CAUSE NICKI ON THERE ! AND THEY KNOW IT’S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT NICKI TRYING TO WEAR HER DIFFERENT COLOR WIGS ( LIKE KIM ALREADY DID ) ! YES NICKI IS A COPY CAT A FOLLOWER ! BUT, NO MATTER WHAT ! KIM WILL ALWAYS WIN IN REAL FACTS AND LIFE ! *
I agree with most; this list in wack as hell. But in response to some of the comments:
I’m the king,I don’t care about other people opinion says:

THIS AWARDS SHOW IS A JOKE + THEY ARE RACIST !!!!!
wack ass JUSTIN BIEBER… I MEAN, REALLY? –Uhh, where’s the racism? Retarded- Yes, but racist?
And just a question… What was Eminem supposed to get nominated for since everyone is so up in arms that he wasn’t?
BBWWAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! YN is disappointed in Jay Elect!!!!!! Holy fuck, this motherfucker is so much of a groupie/dick rider that he has NO integrity nor self respect in dealing with shit that is NONE of his bidness…Fuck, morbid fascination causes me to come back…i can’t wait for the fucking Jay-Z book to get done – perhaps this shit will end…
Jay-Z should redo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te08jV-kmKo
you can tell from the nominees who gonna win, what’s the point of even having these awards?
I guess having the highest selling rap album last year and #1 Top 100 Doesn’t matter, if your not black!!
Where the fuck is Eminem at.
Also no 50 Cent??
Think about it. If EMINEM hosted the BET Awards, imagine the ratings. and also with Jordys point having the best album but not being invited when gay ass justin beaver is allowed to come . Fuck BET. Ima bout to make my own white channel WET. LOL
This event is the BET awards….not the BET Hip-Hop awards….they are two different shows, so no cyphers here….just to clarify.
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
GO MURK THESE SUCKERS
webbz should be on da show bet needz 2 wake up and make this year different bring someone new da underdog http://www.worldwidewebbz.com
why isnt B.O.B. Nominated for Best New artist but he is nominated for best rapper is he still a rapper LOL and how can he get a best rapper nod and not Eminem
come on People Justin Beiber has got a BET Nomination Before Eminem has Em never gets a BET nomination and Justin Beiber got one like honestly no bullshit maybe becuz im not one of them people who listen to the radio becuz I have GPS to tell me where the traffic is but what is the buzz about this lil nigga I havent heard a song from him but that Baby Shit
and I doubt i will be watching this shit becuz last year award show was terrible the year before with DL Hughley was a good one but last year they tried that Michael Jaccson tribute thing and it failed Jamie Foxx Jokes were all misses the only part i can honestly remember was Neyo Tribute and the Ving Rhames Thing *shit was jokes*
how the fucc do young money get Best New Artist Nomination they arent a group its a label so I guess Shady records and G-unit shouldve got nods in the previous years
Man Master P need to get the ball rollin g on that Better blacc ent network becuz BET is slaccing they cancel rapcity now the fuccery how do you give BOB a nod before eminem this nigga eminem has murdered every beat he has gotten on
the performances sound wacc too Nicki Minaj has no stage presences I dont I just can stand her she’s annoying Drake his set last year was boring Diddy does his thing so that might be a good one
real talk I cant wait till kanye and 50 come bacc becuz if thats the best performers they cant get shit at least give Jeezy a Set with the Lose my Mind Song
and @ YN
yea i seen that on wshh like a coupel of days ago Jay Electronica is bugging Jimmy Iovine is the devil but Benzino is the War Angel Jimmy Iovine is a frail old white dude this nigga cuz aint trying to manipulate anybody Benzino was foul for misusing the mic system like that The Source had clout until he gave his shit like 5 mics after that began the downfall of the source I see it wat newstands but i havent picced it up to read it since he pulled that shit
and I see why kayslay would catch beef with this guy he always talking about somebody else but only reason why nobody says nothing about it is becuz he not successful if this was 50 cent Niggas would be hating like a motherfuccas but since its a nigga who aint sold a lot of records he’s Credible? Jay Electronica need to get a barcode before he just start going at Legends and Niggas who been doing they things for years he looks like a jaccass saying a cellphone is a chess piece
The BET Awards be on sum Grammy shit. 1. They put old ass songs in the nomination category. 2. These niggaz puttin ppl that ain’t put ou music in fuckin’ years!!! Lil’ Kim?!?!?!??? Come tha fuck on man! And 3. Who gives a fuck about movies??? This is a show for MUSIC awards!!! lmao! BET has pathetically done it again…smh…

FOR ALL THE RETARDS THAT SAY JAY Z IS THE G.O.A.T. WHY DID 50 CENT SELL MORE RECORDS IN 4 YEARS THAN JAY Z DID IN 15? THATS CUZ JAY Z MAKES MORE RECORDS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HES SELLING MORE BUT IF U LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AT HOW MANY CDS ARE SOLD PER RECORD ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE. JAY Z IS PROLY THE BEST SONG CREATOR OF ALL TIME BUT LISTEN TO LYRICS NOT THE BEAT. JAY Z DONT GO HARD ON SONGS. ITS EMINEM HES THE BEST ALIVE AND TOP 5 ALIVE OR DEAD.
