Hosted by comedian Mike Epps, younger rhymers like Wale and Wiz Khalifa graced the stage with their respective hits, 'That Way' and 'Taylor Gang,' and the BET hip-hop cyphers -- seven in all -- saw Eminem, Joe Budden, Yelawolf, Estelle, Ace Hood, Blind Fury, Stalley, Pill, Nitty Scott and more newbies showing off their lyrical prowess.
LL Cool J scored the I am Hip-Hop Icon award, delivering a memorable acceptance speech, where he dropped gems like "Maintain your focus through the ups and downs" in rap form.
