 | Young Money Militia indeed! The nominations are here! BET has just released the nominees for this year's Hip Hop Awards and it looks like YMCMB's leading artists top the nominations list. Canadian rapper Drake and his oh-so-good-friend NY native Nicki Minaj definitely had a great year, considering their names come up on several occasions throughout the categories. |
From Best Live Performer (both of them are nominated for that) to Best Hip Hop Video, these 2 are everywhere on the list. Although Nicki is not nominated for any track she was featured on (unlike Drake), she is nominated for a number of solo categories as well as for her song "Truffle Butter" with "labelmates" (let's not forget about the current state of Young Money) Drake and Lil' Wayne (who is also nominated for an award or two). A number of Drake's nominations come from his collab with Big Sean and Kanye West on "Blessings". Regardless of the outcome, it's safe to say that everyone nominated put in work this year. Good luck to all of the nominees! You can check out the categories and their nominees down below.
