2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards Nominations
It’s safe to say Lil Wayne is having the best week ever. After news broke yesterday (September 6) that his latest album, Tha Carter IV, racked up close to one million in sales in its first week, it was announced this afternoon that Wayne has also earned the most nominations at this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards.
Weezy picked up a grand total of 19 nods, in such categories as Lyricist of the Year, MVP of the Year, Best Live Performer and Song of the Year.
Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa both tied for second place with nine nominations a piece, while Rick Ross has the chance of winning eight trophies. Busta Rhymes is close behind with six noms. [See the full list of nominations below]
For the third year in a row, Mike Epps will be hosting the event, set to go down on October 1 at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta.
The show will air on BET, nine days later, on October 11 at 8 p.m. EST.

Britney Spears, Lady Gaga Rule Billboard.com's 2011 Mid-Year Music Awards
Britney Spears and Lady Gaga proved the ultimate pop music divas in Billboard.com's Mid-Year Music Awards poll, which allowed fans to weigh in on their favorite songs, albums and performances of the first half of 2011 over the past week. Once the hundreds of thousands of votes were tallied after voting ended on Wednesday (July 6), the pop icons were declared the top candidate in a combined seven categories, with Spears edging Gaga in the First-Half MVP tally.
Spears' seventh studio album, "Femme Fatale," was named the Favorite Billboard 200 No. 1 album after topping the chart upon its March release, while her single "Hold It Against Me" won the Favorite Hot 100 No. 1 Song trophy. The singer's cheeky clip for "I Wanna Go" was also voted Best Music Video, and her recently started Femme Fatale tour was voted Best Tour.
Meanwhile, Gaga's eye-popping outfits earned her the most Best Style votes, and her set at Radio 1's Big Weekend was named the Best Festival Performance. Gaga was also the runner-up in categories like First-Half MVP, Favorite Billboard 200 No. 1 album for "Born This Way," Best Music Video for her elaborate "Judas" clip, and Best Tour for her Monster Ball trek.
Other leading vote-getters included Wiz Khalifa, whose ubiquitous single "Black and Yellow" and debut album "Rolling Papers" garnered enough fans to earn the rapper the Best Newcomer award; Jennifer Lopez, who used her seat at the "American Idol" judges table and new album "Love?" to lead the Best Comeback category; Beyonce, whose show-stopping performance at the 2011 Billboard Music Award was voted Best Awards Show Performance; and Chris Brown, whose "Good Morning America" tirade was named the year's Most Memorable Meltdown so far.
