Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz to Perform at 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards




The line up for the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards is starting to take shape. In addition to MC Lyte receiving the lifetime achievement honor (the I AM HIP HOP AWARD presented by Sprite), Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, and French Montana are now among confirmed performers; and Kevin Hart -- a.k.a. Chocolate Droppa -- is a confirmed presenter.

2 Chainz and French Montana have both had big years with the release of their albums. 2 Chainz' B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME, debuted atop Billboard's Top Rap Albums; and Montana's long-awaited debut, Excuse My French, entered the Top 200 albums chart at No. 4.
Lamar, a Music Matters star, has had a stand out year, as well, lyrically and visually continuing to push the culture forward with his videos "B---h, Don't Kill My Vibe" and "Poetic Justice," and lighting a fire in hip hop with his verse on "Control," garnering responses from OGs and up-and-comers alike -- even Chocolate Droppa dropped a sweet 16 seconds. 

He will be joined by fellow breakout TDE artists and scheduled performers, ScHoolBoy Q and Jay Rock. Q and Lamar collaborated for a current 106 & Park favorite, "Collard Greens" and Jay Rock appears on Lamar's major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city, which went platinum this year.

The "hip hop crew" theme will also take center stage to set off the awards. Taking on one of the art form's oldest and most cherished traditions, squad members of hip hop's finest groups and indie labels will battle it out crew vs. crew-style for the much-loved Hip Hop Awards Cypher. Those participants, however, will not be announced until after the Sept. 28 taping at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center.

The HHA will have its premiere broadcast Tuesday, Oct. 15, 8 p.m., and will air on BET's international network in the UK and Africa Friday, Oct. 18, reaching more than 17 million households in more than 50 countries.

#HealthMonday: The challenge of lung cancer

The challenge of lung cancer November marks lung cancer awareness month. Lung cancer is a leading cause for cancer deaths in the world and is strongly correlated with smoking. Although the rates of lung cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is lower vs. the rest of the world, it is still important to discuss especially as the rates of tobacco use in Africa is on the rise - if the smoking rate continues to climb, dealing with tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer will become more common. Furthermore, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked themselves. Symptoms Lung cancer may not produce any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. In many people diagnosed with lung cancer, diagnosis is made after the disease has advanced. As many of these symptoms are general, many people don't suspect lung cancer. And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread. Risk factors While the...
