The 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards stayed  full with entertainment with non-stop comedy skits coming from Hip Hop Awards host  Mike Epps, an opening  performance from Wiz Khalifa, and a tear jerking performances from Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, and 50 Cent as BET took a moment to pay tribute to Music Mogul Chris Lighty. And the audience stood to their feet to also honor Hip Hop Legend “Rakim” with the “I am Hip Hop Icon Award.” If you missed the show check out who went home with awards this year.
