Kendrick Lamar lands 14 BET Hip-Hop Awards nominations

Kendrick Lamar has dominated the nominations for this year's BET Hip-Hop Awards.

The US rapper is up for fourteen awards in total, including Best Live Performer, Lyricist of the Year and Track of the Year.

He's closely followed by Canada's Drake, who has received thirteen nods, whilst J.Cole bagged ten nominations.

Lamar said in a statement: "It's a privilege to be a part of it. For the most part, BET always acknowledges my talent and I always hold that as an honor, so I'm blessed."

The ceremony, which will be held on September 28 before being aired on October 15, will be hosted by Snoop Lion. He said:

"I'm excited to be hosting this year's BET Hip Hop Awards 2013. We're going to have fun this year and I will make it a show to remember, ya dig?! I'll be giving a ton of surprises, showcasing my exclusive GGN News clips and bringing all my nieces and nephews to the stage for an exciting night of hip-hop."
