You can't escape Kendrick Lamar in hip-hop at this point in time. After claiming to be the King of New York on Big Sean's "Control" and name-dropping a bunch of his colleagues, thus getting the rap world in a tizzy, he continues his domination with the upcoming BET Hip-Hop Awards.

The West Coast native leads the nominations this year with 14, among them, Lyricist of the Year, Album of the Year, MVP of the Year and Best Hip-Hop Video for "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." Following the announcement, K. Dot said of the awards, "Itâs a privilege to be a part of it.Â For the most part, BET always acknowledges my talent and I always hold that as an honor, so Iâm blessed."

For Album of the Year, Kendrick is up against Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, Wale's The Gifted, J. Cole's Born Sinner and Nas' Life Is Good. Best Mixtape of the Year includes Big Sean's Detroit, Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap, Travis Scott's Owl Pharoah, Trinidad James' Don't Be S.A.F.E. and Stalley's recent Honest Cowboy.

Drake follows K. Dot with 13 nominations, and then J. Cole with 10 nominations.Â

Snoop Dogg is lined up to host this year's event, which will be taped on September 28th atÂ Atlantaâs Boisfeuillet JonesÂ Atlanta Civic CenterÂ and the show premieres on October 15th at 8 p.m.
