HIP HOP IS BOOMIN’

How to Watch the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards

Here’s how to watch or live stream the airing of the politically charged awards show in Miami.

The 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, hosted by DJ Khaled in Miami, Florida, will air Tuesday, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m ET on BET.

The monumental awards show, which was pre-recorded on Oct. 8, featured performances by artists Cardi B, Gucci Mane, Migos, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Trina, and DJ Khaled, among others.

Rapper Luther Campbell received the “I Am Hip Hop Honoree” legacy award, and DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, and Cardi B each received nine nominations.

A slew of celebrities made appearances on the pre-show green carpet, including Blac Chyna and producer DJ Nasty.

“There was a point in time where, no offense, EDM was just running the charts,” DJ Nasty told The Daily Beast. “Now you have records like Cardi B that’s number one. We poppin’ right now. Hip-hop is boomin’!”

The awards show didn’t shy away from politics, addressing the “powerful messages” surrounding America’s divided state, and including topics like Black Lives Matter.
