Tonight, the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards aired, and some artists went home with trophies while others were left empty-handed. One of the biggest winners tonight was Chris Brown, who won Best Hip-Hop Video and the Viewers' Choice Award for 'Look at Me Now,' which he recorded with Lil Wayne (who also won Lyricist and Performer of the Year) and Busta Rhymes (who took home an award for his mile-a-minute verse on Breezy's track).

LL Cool J took home the most prestigious award when he was honored with the I Am Hip-Hop trophy for his career achievements, and newcomers Nicki Minaj and Wiz Khalifa also racked up a couple of awards.
