Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music collaborators Large Sean, Pusha T and two Chainz kicked off the 2012 BET Awards with a bang, delivering their most recent insta-hit "Mercy" then segueing seamlessly into West's "Cold."
Dressed head-to-toe in white, West proceeded to center stage where he captivated the Shrine Auditorium crowd that included his girlfriend of a number of months, Kim Kardashian, unapologetically rhyming, "And I'll admit, I had fell in really like with Kim / Around the identical time she had fell in adore with him / Well that is cool, child girl, do ya thang / Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team."
West followed up the Kris Humphries dis and group efficiency with a free-style rap of his personal, at the end of which he hailed, "In Jesus' name," dropped the microphone and marched off to stage left. The camera then panned to the audience exactly where Kardashian was giving a standing ovation to her man.
The BET Awards opening was practically completely Kanye-themed. It started off with a efficiency by Samuel L. Jackson named "Negros in Paris" featuring Spike Lee as unique guest. Minutes later, the very first award of the night, for very best group, went to Jay-Z and West's The Throne.
But Kim and Kanye weren't the only superstar power couple in the house. Jay-Z, who produced a surprise look with the Very best Group win, and Beyonce Knowles were seated down the row in what can only be described as the ultimate multimillionaire date night.
Other winners so far in the broadcast contain Large Sean, for very best new artist, and Chris Brown for very best male R&B artist.
