words // Brandon Richard
Taped a little more than two weeks ago, BET will finally air the 2013 Hip Hop Awards tonight. The show will feature performances by Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz and Future, though most of us will be tuning in to see the always anticipated cyphers. Hosted by Snoop Dogg, the event will air on BET at 8:00 p.m. EST.
With the event being pre-recorded, we had the opportunity to get an early look at the footwear that hit the green carpet in Atlanta. Continuing a trend with these shows, there were plenty of terrible looking 'high fashion' sneakers being worn, with a few gems sprinkled in the mix. Check out the spotlight and let us know which rapper you think rocked the best pair of kicks at this year's awards.
