BET just announced the nominees for their coveted BET Hip Hop awards, with all the familiar faces pulling nominations (Wayne leading the pack with 18). My personal favorite part is the cyphers that will go down, and there's some doope people on the leaked line-up. We'll see if anyone can beat the G.O.O.D. massacre that happened last year.
