T.I. and Soulja Boy Join Nelly, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West and Common at the Second Annual ‘BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2007′
Premiering Wednesday, October 17 at 8 P.M. ET/PT
T.I. and Soulja Boy join previously announced performers Nelly, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West and Common for the second annual BET HIP HOP AWARDS. Hosted by veteran actor/comedian Katt Williams for the second year in a row, BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2007 is a tribute to urban music artists at the top of their game. Wyclef Jean, Keyshia Cole, Cassidy, Dizzee Rascal, DJ Premiere, Joell Ortiz, Kardinal Offishall, Lil’ Mama, Phonte, Ras Kass and Status Quo will make appearances at the event, which will tape at Atlanta’s Civic Center on Saturday, October 13 and air on BET on Wednesday, October 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
I’m expecting Kanye West to kill his performance. What is Nelly going to perform? The list of artist appearing seems pretty weak.
This year’s show will include an appearance by Soulja Boy, one of hip hop’s up-and-coming stars, performing his #1 hit, “Crank Dat.” As part of his performance, Soulja Boy is inviting viewers to showcase their moves by submitting video renditions of themselves doing the “Crank Dat” dance. Lucky fans will have those videos aired at this year’s BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2007 via a video wall to serve as the backdrop during Soulja Boy’s performance. Fans can visit http://www.bet.com/contests for more information, and all entries must be submitted by Sunday, October 7.
ATL native T.I. leads the BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2007 nominees with nine nods, Lil’ Wayne with seven, Kanye West with six, Common with five, Jay-Z with four, Ludacris and 50 Cent with three, and Diddy and UGK with two. Also, the legendary hip-hop artist KRS-One, known for his political and socially conscious raps, will be honored with the “I Am Hip Hop” Icon Award.
Last year’s inaugural BET HIP HOP AWARDS 2006 drew an impressive 2.93 rating, which translated into 3.64 million viewers (2.44 million households) according to Nielsen Media Research. The show featured massive hip-hop stars Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Chamillionaire, Yung Joc, Keyshia Cole, Remy Ma, Rick Ross and the dirty south’s own Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris, T.I. and Young Jeezy, among others. Additionally, it honored one of the hip- hop world’s pioneering figures, Grandmaster Flash, with the “I Am Hip Hop” Icon Award.

White boy kill ur self! Tryna get at niggas on tha net and shyt!!!LMAO!

October 2nd, 2007 at 4:41 pm
the reason why i made that comment about kanye being wack is to show you how many stupid ass kanye fan are on this website. and it funny to see how many stupid ass kanye fan actually read it. but the reason why i diss kanye is because you have stupid people like number 24, who made a stupid comment. i think number 24, is a haten ass nigga because any time i make a comment about kanye. niggaz like him bring 50 in to the conversation when really it not about 50. so i diss kanye i think number 24, and 26, are some gay ass kanye lover who would probably kiss kanye if they saw him.
October 2nd, 2007 at 4:50 pm
im changing my name to mike it ain’t ‘white boy’ any more since ya nigga be haten……..even tho my real name is really mike i made it ‘white boy’ just as a joke….happy now nigga.
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:40 am
i aint even a huge kanye fan ass! i just think u a fuckin hater and i aint never bring 50 in it!
again go play wit ur butt plug!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:56 am
