#HIPHOPAWARDS
The BET “HIP HOP AWARDS” has remained the most prominent
hip hop showcase on television for ten years with its powerful
performances, iconic hip hop honorees and much-anticipated cyphers.
Multi-platinum artist, mega-producer and ‘Anthem King’ DJ Khaled
will take the reins as host of the BET “HIP HOP AWARDS”
2017.
The “I Am Hip Hop” Award returns to honor hip hop pioneer
and legend Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell. Luther “Uncle Luke”
Campbell is a businessman, community activist, author, television
personality, radio host, artist and most importantly the first
Southern rapper to appear on Billboard’s Pop charts. In addition,
he was the first Southern rapper to start an independent rap record
label, Luke Records. Known as the “Godfather of Southern Hip Hop,”
Luther Campbell was the first in the music industry to provide
“parental advisory” stickers on product responsibly ensuring his
music was only bought by those of a certain age. Soon thereafter,
the entire music industry made it mandatory for elicit material to
provide advisory stickers. With his likeness highlighted in the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of the 2 Live
Crew, Luke fought to ensure the freedom of speech all the way
to the Supreme Court - and won. Campbell’s endless philanthropic
efforts has found him giving to refugees from Cuba and Haiti on the
shores of Miami and those less fortunate than himself in the
community. Campbell is also a sports radio host, long-time
columnist for the Miami New Times and owner of several Wingstop
franchises. Campbell is currently in the process of producing a
biopic on his life with Lions Gate as well as several other
television projects.
And the hottest night in hip hop is only getting started as the
host and multi-platinum recording artist and producer DJ
Khaled is confirmed to perform; the first female rapper to top
Billboard’s Hot 100 chart Cardi B is set to bring the house
to their feet; as well some of the hottest hip hop performances by
Migos, Yo Gotti, Flo Rida, T-Pain,
Playboi Carti, Plies and many more. Also bringing the
heat for this year’s BET “HIP HOP AWARDS” for the first time
in Miami and representing the “305” is Rick Ross,
Trina and Trick Daddy in a historic “305” medley and
special appearances by Irv Gotti, Keyshia Ka’Oir,
Blac Chyna and Devonta Freeman.
The BET “HIP HOP AWARDS” will also be an opportunity to
support relief efforts aimed at communities in South Texas and
South Florida hard hit by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. BET
Networks and Jesse Collins Entertainment are teaming up with
Miami-based non-profit Make the Homeless Smile and Houston-based
non-profit Angel by Nature on hurricane relief efforts.
Jesse Collins, CEO of Jesse Collins Entertainment, will serve as
Executive Producer of the BET Hip Hop Awards along with
Connie Orlando, BET Head of Programming and Jeannae Rouzan–Clay,
Vice President of Specials, Jesse Collins Entertainment.
