Starting in 2006, BET began doing its now-annual Hip
Hop Awards show to honor the biggest and the best names
in the world of rap music. The 2007 show is the second awards
show so far, in what looks like it will become a top-rated
event on BET for years to come. ***
The Hip Hop Awards follows the format of most basic
music awards shows. Numerous performers are nominated for
various awards (best album, best video, etc.). and often
between the acts, performers are featured. ***
Performers at the 2007 ceremony include Nelly, Ludacris,
Busta Rhymes, and Wyclef Jean. Award recipients include
TI, Chamillionaire, Jay Z, Yung Joc, and Young Dro. ***
Paramount has now released the complete 2007 show on
DVD. The presentation is shown in its roughly 90-minute
commercial-free entirety, with all award presentations and
musical acts intact. Representing the finest that rap music
has to offer, if you're a fan of the genre you'd be wise
to add this to your music DVD collection. ---
Image And Sound:
Let's be realistic - if you're a rap fan, you're probably
mostly buying this DVD for the performances. You'll they
both look and sound great on this DVD. Audio and visual
quality here are, for the most part, outstanding. The DVD
format does this show justice.
