FYI: Watching award shows without Twitter is like watching football without HD. It really makes you wonder how we ever lived without it. That being said, I’ve complied the best tweets from the celebrities, athletes and most importantly the fans from Tuesday’s BET Hip Hop Awards.

How long until Dame Dash endorses Gary Johnson?

We don’t need this.
I keep saying they need to have a "athletes" cypher at the bet awards before they ban the show

They need to blurr out Rick Ross nipples. that's not appropriate for television

who's the yes man in Fat Joe's camp that said naming his song "Instagram that hoe" was a good idea?
— Ashley Outrageous (@aoutrageous) October 10, 2012
I can’t argue with you, Sir.
#FACT : Rakim's verses from 25 years ago are lyrically more complex and contemplative than 98.9% of rappers in 2012. #BETHipHopAwards
— LEFT (@LeftSentThis) October 10, 2012
You know you want to watch. The hip hop monster won’t bite you.
While everyone is tweeting about the hip-hop awards, I'm bumping some country music.
