Kendrick Tops 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards Nominations




The nominations are in for the 2013 BET Hip-Hop awards and it's no surprise to me and millions of others (i would guess) that Kendrick Lamar tops the nominations. Leading with 14 nominations then closely followed by Drake with 13 and J.Cole holding his own with 10. This years show should be interesting as its hosted by Uncle Snoop!! We'll just have to wait to see who leaves with what, for now it's just a guessing game.
