Tonight marked the 2013 BET Awards, and like always, the annual presentation donned a bevy of memorable moments. Among those were show stealing performances by some of Hip-Hop and R&B’s top acts, including artists like Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, J. Cole and more.

The show also featured stellar appearances from legendary crooners R. Kelly, who took the stage to perform a medley of hits, and Charlie Wilson, the recipient of the Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award.

These moments of musical greatness were sprinkled in between sometimes funny moments courtesy of host Chris Tucker and others from a hilarious Kevin Hart.

See the good kid, m.A.A.d kid rapper give live renditions of “M.A.A.D. City” and “B**ch Don’t Kill My Vibe” below (along with Erykah Badu on the latter). Catch the remainder of the performance footage on the following pages.
