Actor-rapper Ice Cube

Comedian Mike Epps is hosting this year's show.

Atlanta's own DJ Drama sported an amazingly large "Barack Odrama" chain.

Not sure why Christopher "Kid" Reid and Chris "Play" Martin showed up. But they are hip-hop pioneers, as the recent TV One "Life After..." special reminded us.

Singer Mario

Rapper Trina was back in Atlanta for the awards. She's been seen partying around the city recently with newcomer Angel Lola Luv...

Rapper Nicki Minajis ... we'll just let the fashion blogs handle this one. We can say she was one of many little known artists in the mix this year.

Atlanta rapper Yung Joc channels the days of Run DMC and "My Adidas."

"Atlanta Housewife" Sheree Whitfield donned bejeweled blue Versace heels for the occasion. When PeachBuzz asked when the show's reunion special might be taped, she replied, "I'm not going to tell the AJC!" Hmm...Meanwhile, cast mate NeNe Leakes, who was on the attendee list, was M.I.A.

Tiny & Toya hit the red carpet looking pretty hot. At the show, Tiny read T.I.'s acceptance speech for CD of the Year. In it, he said, "I'm coming back with a vengeance!"

Snoop walks the red carpet with a parental advisory for his ... let's just say it's an interesting fashion statement.

The BET Hip-Hop Awards hit Atlanta Saturday Oct. 10, for the 4th year. As usual, the red carpet arrivals are eye-catching.

Soulja Boy walked the red carpet in white at the 4th annual BET Hip-Hop Awards show in Atlanta. But after his arrest on Thursday, he apparently didn't have much to say to the media.

Angel Lola Luv, the video vixen turned rapper, got militant. If you recall, she performed at Atlanta's Luckie Lounge earlier this year with what seemed to be see-through lace leggings.
