Kendrick Lamar Leads BET Hip Hop Awards Nominations

FUSE TV - Kendrick Lamar Leads BET Hip Hop Awards Nominations

Few rappers have had as big a 2012 as Kendrick Lamar. MTV ranked him No. 1 on their annual Hottest MCs in the Game list. Jay Z hopped on his remixes. Dr. Dre gave him ASCAP Awards. And last week, the rapper launched a call-to-arms against his peers on his verse on Big Sean's "Control."

Now, the annual BET Awards announced their nominee list, with the Compton rapper leading  the way with 14 nominations, including People's Champ Award, Best Hip Hop Video, Album of the Year and Lyricist of the Year.

Lamar wasn't the only big nominee. Drake scored 13 nominations, with J. Cole earning 10. The award show, hosted by Snoop Dogg, will be taped in Atlanta on Saturday, September 28 and premieres Tuesday, October 15 at 8 PM.

"I’m excited to be hosting this year’s 'BET Hip Hop Awards 2013,’" said Snoop. "We’re going to have fun this year and I will make it a show to remember, ya dig?! I’ll be giving a ton of surprises, showcasing my exclusive GGN News clips and bringing all my nieces and nephews to the stage for an exciting night of hip-hop."
