The BET Awards Never Failed to Deliver with Kanye West getting the most awards

BET Hip Hop Awards Kanye West_edit.jpgThe 2008 BET Awards was broadcasted live from Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Tuesday the 24th of June. The show as always had great performances and several surprises.

Everyone will remember Alicia Keys for her performance at this year BET Awards. It was a reunion on stage for three of the top female R&B groups. During Alicia Key's performance of "Teenage Love Affair" she brought on SWV who performed their single "Weak", En Vogue then graced the stage and performed "Hold On" and finally TLC came out sadly without Left Eye and performed "Waterfalls".

Other performances for the night included Ne-yo performing his new song "Closure". T. Pain was very busy at the awards as he was nominated four times for best collaboration and performed all four songs. He performed "Low" with Flo Rida, "The Boss" with Rick Ross, "I'm so Hood Remix" with DJ Khaled and the closing performance was T Pain and Lil Wayne performing his number one hit "Lollipop". Chris Brown performed his single "Take You Down" with Ciara, Usher performed "Love in this Club" and Keyshia Cole performed "Heaven Sent". These were some of the performances for the night.


Kanye West went home with the most awards this year. He received for Male Hip-Hop Artiste and Best Collaboration for his song "Good Life" with T. Pain. Other awardees included Alicia Keys for Best Female R&B Artiste, Chris Brown for Best Male R&B Artiste and Missy Elliot Best Female Hip Hop Artiste. The Viewer's Choice Awards went to Lil Wayne while the Best Gospel Artiste went to Marvin Sapp. These were just some of the awards for the night. All in all this award was unforgettable.

Alicia Keys is something to be reckoned with. She first brought out the Reggae superstar just last year and now she did it big again with an all star female performance. She's the really the definition of a true artist. Big up to Alicia Keys. Not that the other performances weren't hot but you gottah respect the chick. Wayne killed it at the end and my little bobo Chris Brown did his thing. One thing I have to ask everyone is..."am I the only person who notice that Rihanna loves to put up her gun finger...lol...Real Island girl. Big up black folks, we were well represented. Hot music, good looking people and with soooooo much class... From the T.O. we love Yard flex.

BET was kissing kanye's @ss ... he is known to throw hissy fits when he doesnt win. kanye is going sour, coming off as less down-to-earth and more diva these days. he need to humble himself. and furthermore what happened to the image he had in the beginning. it was corney but at least it was not as cookie cutter as the rest of the artists. now he looks and dresses just like any other fool out there. *yawn* ... whatever

big up to the classic and classy EN VOUGE and AL GREEN. they made my night.
