The BET awards were held last night, and amidst all the pushing and shoving that comes with putting some of Hip-Hop's 'hardest' crews in one room, there were some real highlights.

Every year the awards showcase Cyphers, and they're usually the highlight of the night.  Last night was no exception, especially the West Coast roundtable which featured legends (DJ Quik, Snoop, Xzibit) and up-and-comers (Kendrick Lamar).

There was also a tribute to Chris Lighty, the legendary Hip-Hop entrepreneur, who was instrumental in the careers of some many classic 90's acts.  Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, A Tribe Called Called Quest, LL Cool J and others were on hands to lay it down in respect.
