2010 BET Hip Hop Awards (Photos)

The BET Hip-Hop Awards airs in nine days, but here are some snaps from yesterday’s taping at the Atlanta Civic Center. From Hammer making an appearance during Ross and Puff’s show opener, to Dipset’s reunion, it was an eventful night minus the Waka foolery of course.
