The 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards took place yesterday and there was much to speak about. Cardi B led the night with impressive wins, but I think the biggest talk is Eminem's fearless cypher which called out US President Donald Trump. We're also here for the Insta Booth cypher which had some strong and really weak features on there. I mean? First start by checking out the full list of winners before you hop into the videos.
