BY popular demand, veteran rap artiste, Snoop Dogg and BET have, once again, teamed up to present the 2014 edition of BET Hip Hop Awards.
With over 20 years experience, Snoop Dogg continues to set the trend and pave the way for both new and established artistes. At the 2013 ceremony, he opened the show, participated in the star-studded performances and revealed the persona of his moniker, DJ Snoopadelic, by spinning on the turntables for various artistes.
“I’m looking forward to returning to host the BET Hip Hop Awards after the success of last year’s show. This year, we are coming back with a bigger and better show packed with surprises for everyone.”
