AceShowbiz - 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.
