The nominations for the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2013 were announced on Aug. 22 and Kendrick Lamar leads the pack of nominations with a total of 14 nods.
Lamar, whose full name is Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, made his major label debut in 2012 with his album "good kid, m.A.A.d city." The album has since gone platinum and earned critical acclaim.
The 26-year-old rapper also made headlines recently for calling out some of hip-hop's top-selling artists in a verse for Big Sean's "Control."
Lamar picked up nominations for Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Live Performer and Lyricist Of The Year.
Drake is a close second to Lamar with 13 nominations. The rapper received nods in categories like MVP Of The Year, Sweet 16 (Best Featured Verse) and the People's Champ Award.
