Hip Hop Hooray!

Bet Hip Hop Awards Show 2012 was a great night for Hip Hop.  I had to admit that it made me get that old good feeling about Hip Hop again.  I was starting to think that Hip Hop needed a flushing but I have to say the cyphers this year was one of the best thus far. It was like a movie starring all of your favorite actors or a comic book with some of your favorite super heroes.  I got to see Mystikal, DMX EVE, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quick, Kendrick Lamar & E-40 again. It was great! If you ask me Kendrick Lamar killed it. Once again I felt proud to be involved in this magnificent art form.

The night was filled with memorable moments. You had Taylor Gang leader, Wiz Khalifa in a black leather jacket performing his hit “Work Hard, Play Hard.” Young Jeezy joined him representing the ATL. to the fullest.

P Diddy came through with his Bad Boy Records entourage that included Machine Gun Kelly with his off the wall antics performing “Wild Boy.” French Montana also stole the scene when he showed up in about 100 gold chains. While Future brought his #1 hit single, “Turn off the lights” to be joined by all his Bad boy comrades.

Leave it to 2 Chainz to show up or show out jumping out of a Gucci printed coffin performing his smash hit “Birthday.” He was dressed in a white shirt with a suite jacket and tie. He reminded me of Samuel L. Jackson in “Pulp Fiction”. Then to top that off he sat down at a white grand piano playing the keys like a pro for the intro of his hit “I’m Different” that blazed the stage.

The night was toped off with a special tribute to the great late music executive, Chris Lighty. Artist like; LL Cool J, Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Missy Elliot, and 50 Cent performed their hit records they recorded during the times while being managed by Lighty. They all were representing Violator and the Chris Lighty brand with high regards.

The Bet Hip Hop awards, by far has out down themselves in 2012. From the commercials of Kevin Hart’s new show to Mike Epps hosting the entire extravaganza, Bet’s Hip Hop Awards show 2012 left a great impression on the world for the genre. What a night for Hip Hop!
