BET Hip Hop Award nominations announced

The BET Hip Hop Award nominations were announced this week, and it looks like Lil Wayne will be the big winner when the show airs on Oct. 23.

Lil Wayne received 12 nominations, mostly from his album “Tha Carter III” and his song “Lollipop.”

He’s been dominating the charts and most of the award shows all year long, so there’s no reason to believe that he won’t dominate the BET Hip Hop Award show either.

Kanye West received seven nominations, and hope and pray that he wins at least one award because otherwise he will throw another temper tantrum if he doesn’t.

Here is a complete list of the nominations. I will give my predictions at a later date.
