The 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards aired last night and was “turnt up” from the beginning to the end. Filmed in the Boisfeuillet Jones Civic Center in Atlanta, the ceremony was hosted by none other than Uncle Snoop and gave viewers a show like no other.

Kendrick Lamar was the big winner of the night and won five “BET Hip Hop Awards.”  Drake received 4 awards.   Rapper Eve honored hip hop pioneer MC Lyte with the “I Am Hip Hop” Award presented by Sprite, making sure the ladies were recognized for their contributions to hip hop as well.
