BET Networks has officially revealed details for their upcoming 2014 Hip-Hop Awards coming this October. With Snoop Dogg providing hosting duties once again, the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center will be home to the award show this year. Leading all nominees with 8 nominations this year is Drake, who’s in the hunt for ‘Best Hip Hop Video,’ ‘Lyricist of the Year,’ ‘MVP of the Year,’ and ‘Album of the Year.’. JAY Z, Pharrell and Future are behind with six nominations each, while Nicki Minaj, YG and Rich Homie Quan garnered five nods.
Performers are yet to be announced, but we’re waiting on details to surface regarding the biggest part of the show: the cyphers we enjoyed from Top Dawg Entertainment and others last year.
