Über Talk: 2011 BET Awards Nominees

As you may or may not know this past week BET announced their nominees for this years 2011 BET Awards! The nominee list needless to say had both listeners and some artists *cough* Trina and Keyshia Cole*cough* in an uproar. Some say the Female Hip Hop artist category is a joke without Trina at least featured on it. Some say it's only fair as she hasn't had any hits lately [which isn't true as she has came out with Always ft Monica earlier this year]


This uproar over the nominees eventually trickled down to BET themselves where Stephen Hill sat down with The Juice of Billboard.com to talk about there decision making process when choosing nominees. For the article click here.


Take a look at the nominees and let us know what you think!
