The BET Hip Hop Awards were aired on Tuesday evening with Kendrick Lamar cleaning up and collecting awards for Best Hip Hop Album and Rap Artist of the Year. The celebrations continued in the Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta with performances from Best Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist winner GloRilla, Pusha T (who brought out special guest Malice for a Clipse reunion), Fivio Foreign, Joey Bada$$, and Armani White all taking to the stage.
The ceremony built toward a tribute to influential rap label Loud Records featuring Wu-Tang Clan, Lil’ Kim, Fat Joe, Remy Ma alongside David Banner and Lil’ Flip, Mobb Deep’s Havoc, Dead Prez, M.O.P., and Three 6 Mafia.
The artists all played songs released over the past three decades of the label's existence with Wu-Tang Clan closing out the set with a trio of tracks from their debut 1993 LP Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Check that, alongside the rest of the performances, below.
