BET Hip Hop Nominee

The Award ceremony which will once again be hosted by Katt Williams will take place for the third consecutive year in Atlanta, this year at the Atlanta Civic Center.The show will be aired on Wednesday October 23rd but will take place the previous Saturday.  So with four days between screening and airing, I am sure we will all be aware of who won what without even having to tune in to watch the show. Be good to see Tip there this year though as long as he avoids shopping mall parking lots.No love for G Unit this year I notice. Although Curtis did get nominated for Hustler of the Year award which no- one can deny him a shot at
