Tuesday night (October 10) the BET Hip Hop Awards 2023 aired and brought out all of Hip Hop’s hottest and rising stars.

The show was packed with performances and appearances by the likes of Sexyy Red, Glorilla, City Girls, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, a tribute to the legendary Marley Marl featuring Rakim and LL Cool J, and a star-studded So So Def 30 Year anniversary performance featuring Jermaine Dupri, Bow Wow, Da Brat, Chingy, Ludacris, Lil Jon, and much more.

Get into the performances, the legendary cyphers, and the winner’s list below.

Kendrick Lamar was the big winner at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards, winning in four categories – hip hop artist of the year, best live performer, lyricist of the year and, with his creative partner Dave Free, video director of the year.

Lamar made history with all four of these wins. He is the first artist to win hip hop artist of the year three times. He won best live performer for the fourth time, tying Kanye West and Jay-Z for the most wins in the category. He won lyricist of the year for the ninth time, extending his lead for the most wins in the category. Lamar and Free won best video director of the year for the second year in a row, becoming the first directors to win back-to-back awards in that category since Hype Williams won four years running from 2009-12.
