He’s A Mother-Effin’ Monster: Kanye Racks Up 17 BET Award Noms

Get ready for the Kanye West show at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards coming up next month. Yeezy has come a long way from complaining about not getting any nominations or awards (remember those rants back in the day?) because this year he’s up for 17 awards at the annual show.

Essentially, Ye is nominated in almost every single one of the 19 categories from MVP of the Year, Video Director of the Year, Lyricist of the Year,  Best Hip-Hop Video, Reese’s Perfect Combo, to Best Club Banger, People’s Champ, and Hustler of the Year, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Where Kanye goes, you know Jay-Z and G.O.O.D Music follow so this could be an interesting show after all. Plus 2 Chainz is right behind his boss with 13 nominations and YMCMB front man Drake is on his heels with 11 noms.

The awards are happening October 9 at 8p with Mike Epps as the host. So far, the performers haven’t been announced but I bet we can expect lots of G.O.O.D music. Will you watch?

    Come on now! I didn’t want to say it, but unfortunately, a BET award does not have any prestige as do other awards.

    haven’t watched the BET awards since Monique and Kanye is definitely not a reason to start up again

  • Kay

    But who cares about the BET awards… Better yet who cares about BET?.. I’ll wait

  • TRUTH IS

    Did he buy out those awards?!?…..

  • Just saying!!

    Didn’t the BET awards just happen?? I’m so confused. I do t even watch it because it’s the same 3 or 4 people nominated for everything just because of their name even though there are plenty of talented people just as if not more deserving. It’s just a popularity contest so I agree with everyone else….it’s a JOKE. Holds no value. Try getting an Oscar that easy…not that has some value and prestige! Cuz it’s not so damn easy to get. We need to set our standards a little higher! Smdh

      There are too many award shows. It’s ridiculous to me.

    BET Awards is a joke. We all know they begged, probably paid Jay and Kanye to appear on the last one, which is the reason the camera was solely on them. So, this is their thank you for the ratings.

    I only watch the Hip Hop awards for the cyphers. I couldn’t care about the rest of that hoopla

    A bet award doesn’t mean a thing.
