The BET Awards Continue To Wave The Banner For A “Best Ringtone” Award

Nominations for BET’s Hip-Hop Awards were announced yesterday, and, unsurprisingly, Lil Wayne walked away with the lion’s share of the nods, to the point where I have to wonder if the nomination committee was trying to figure out a way to shoehorn him into the Best UK Hip-Hop Act category. Weezy got 12 nominations; Kanye West, meanwhile, received seven nods, and Jay-Z six. Full slate of nominees after the jump.
