Kanye West won twice at this year's annual Black Entertainment Awards (BET), scooping best male hip-hop artist and best collaboration for Good Life featuring T-Pain. Hip-hop act UGK (aka Underground Kingz) also took home two awards - best group and video of the year for International Player's Anthem featuring Outkast.
Never one to hide behind modesty, Kanye had this to say when picking up his second gong: "I am one of the kings in this game right now and my opinion counts - that's why I did a song with T-Pain".
Other victors include Alicia Keys and Chris Brown for best female and male R&B artist respectively, Missy Elliot for best female hip-hop artist and The Dream for best newcomer. Lil' Wayne picked up the public vote with the viewers' choice award and Al Green was honoured with a lifetime achievement.
