" 2102 BET AWARDS WAS GOOD AND I MEAN REALLY GOOD! "
The BET Awards didn't begin with a bang but an extended bleep, as the censor police worked overtime during a performance by Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music group, Nicki Minaj and Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee's parody of Jay-Z and West's hit song "... In Paris." There were extended moments of muted silence as West, Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz kicked off the show with a performance of "Mercy" (though not all the offending words were bleeped out). Moments later, Jackson, the show's host, was joined by Lee as they did their rendition of the West-Jay-Z hit, to laughs."Two distinguished Morehouse men," Lee joked after the performance, referencing the alma mater of the two.
West and Jay-Z won the ceremony's first award; at first, West arrived onstage alone, and alluded to his many awards-show mishaps."I wish Jay-Z was here to say something politically correct for me," he said, before his mentor came to the stage. Other early winners included Beyonce and Chris Brown for best male R&B artist, his second consecutive win in the category. Kevin Hart — who hosted the awards last year — also won for best actor, Big Sean was named best new artist and Wale and Miguel's smooth hit "Lotus Flower Bomb" won best collaboration.
