The BET Annual Awards have been showing the world that urban entertainment is loved and appreciated since the early 2000’s, before which there was not much love given to the artists of the urban community. It was necessary for BET to form their own awards show to give the praise to the urban entertainer that was needed. Since the BET Awards began, it has continued to grow each year to become more than just music awards but an award show for an entire community, that community is the urban entertainment community.
