Not to be upstaged by the theatrical giants 50 Cent and Kanye West, T.I. landed a whopping nine BET Hip-Hop Award nominations. The awards will be presented on October 13 at Atlanta's Civic Center and the show will air on BET October 17 at 9 p.m.

Kanye snagged seven nominations - maybe he'll do better than he did at the MTV awards. Meanwhile, 50 Cent is nominated in three categories while Lil Wayne has seven, Common snagged five, Jay-Z got four and Ludacris got three.

Rightfully so, UGK is up for Best Collabo for "Int'l Players Anthem," which features Three 6 Mafia production and Outkast rhymes. It's the jam.
