And The BET HIP HOP AWARDS Winners Are In…

Tuesday evening, the sixth annual “BET HIP HOP AWARDS” brought the highly anticipated homecoming of Atlanta native T.I., who performed “F.A.M.E.” alongside Young Jeezy and literally ignited the stage with their phenomenal performance. Hosted by comedian Mike Epps, the “BET HIP HOP AWARDS” was a night filled with brilliant collaborations.  

DMX stormed the stage with Ruff Ryders alum Swizz Beatz; G.O.O.D Music’s newest stars Big Sean and Roscoe Dash performed “I Do It” and “Marvin & Chardonnay.”  Maybach Music Group came through with Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill with special guest El Debarge performing “That Way.”  Wiz Khalifa gave an all energy performance of “Taylor Gang” and Heavy D made his return to the stage with Tyrese, a catalogue of hits and a crew of old school hip hop dancers.

The awards also included seven sets of cyphers from the best in the business – Eminem, Rick Ross, Ludacris, Joe Budden, Yelawolf, Estelle, Busta Rhymes, Ace Hood, Blind Fury, Mike Epps and many more.   LL COOL J was honored as the 2011 recipient of the “I AM HIP-HOP” Icon Award, and received it with a poignant acceptance speech. Part rap, part reminiscence, it was lyrical gold and irrefutable confirmation that the right man had been selected for the distinction.

The following are the list of winners from the 2011 BET HIP HOP AWARDS:
