Chicago’s own, Twista, known for his chopper-style of rapping and chart-topping hits, performs in his hometown alongside hip-hop icons to cover fan-favorites and take concert-goers on a trip down memory lane.

Performances by the reigning queens of hip-hop, Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, and Shawnna, will shut down the building with their legendary hits for the real hip hop lovers.

On Tuesday, October 14, Uncle Snoop will host the BET Network’s 2014 Hip Hop Awards show at 8 p.m. EST. The “biggest night in Hip Hop” will kick-off with performances by T.I., Bobby Shmurda, and Ty Dolla Sign.

Each year, the Hip Hop Awards pay homage to the genre that changed culture forever. BET delivers hip-hop performances for the books, and makes tributes to those in the industry that continue to make hip-hop one of the driving forces of global cultural change.

As usual, Common brings social responsibility to the stage and the hip-hop community overall, reminding us that hip-hop can be a voice for the voiceless, a name for the nameless, and a beacon of hope in rough times.  Other performances slated for the evening include Birdman, DJ Premier, DJ Mustard, Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug, Vince Staples, Jay Electronica, Migos, YG, Rae Sremmurd, Yo Yo, MC Lyte, and Brandy. For the first time, someone will perform a live cypher on stage—audiences will just have to stay tuned to find out who that will be.

Whose performance are you most excited to see? Check out a sneak peak at a cypher to be performed by Remy Ma and Papoose here:
