VIDEO: Brandy, Common, Rae Sremmurd and More Perform at 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards

Brandy joined forces with Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo to perform the remix to her debut single 'I Wanna Be Down' while Common, Vince Staples and Jay Electronica pay tribute to Mike Brown.


Some biggest names in the game performed at 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards that aired on Tuesday, October 14. Brandy was among those stars, celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut single "I Wanna Be Down" by reuniting with Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo to sing the hip-hop remix to the song. 

Another notable performance came from Common, who tackled "Kingdom (Remix)" with Vince Staples and Jay Electronica while being backed by a gospel choir. The performance ended when the parents of Mike Brown joined them onstage. 

The crowd at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta later put their hands in the air and there was a moment of silence in remembrance of the unarmed African-American teen who was killed by a white cop in Ferguson, Mo., last summer. 

The 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards was taped Saturday, September 20. Newcomer Rae Sremmurd kicked off the festivities with an energetic performance of his hit "No Flex Zone". Also taking the stage at the event were T.I., host Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Boosie and Bobby Shmurda.
