Another day, another award show.

With the 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards right around the corner, the list of nominations has finally arrived.

Here’s something not surprising: Drake leads the pack with 12 nominations. Big Sean is hot on Drake’s heels with 10 nominations, and Nicki Minaj isn’t too far behind with nine nods.

What’s most interesting about this year‘s tenth annual award show is the new “Lyricist Of The Year” category, which features Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, Big Sean, and…Drake.

Oh, the irony.

All the action is scheduled to go down in Atlanta on October 13. Check out the full list of nominations below.
