The 2009 BET Awards is already the biggest awards show of the year with Jamie Foxx hosting and performances from Beyonce, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Maxwell and The-Dream. So how can it get even bigger?

Jay-Z.

With Shawn Corey Carter announcing that his highly-anticipated "Blueprint 3" album is on its way, his surprise appearance at Summer Jam and the recently released “Death of Auto-Tune” making waves throughout the industry, it is only appropriate that Jay-Z grace the stage at the 2009 BET Awards.

Having been nominated for a BET Award 15 times as well as collecting awards for “Best Male Hip-Hop Artist” in 2001 and 2004, and “Best Collaboration” with Beyonce for “Crazy In Love” also in 2004, it may surprise some that Hov hasn’t performed at the BET Awards since his duet with Beyonce in 2006. But with a new album on the way, what better time for the Brooklyn MC to make his comeback to the game than now?

The addition of Jay-Z proves that this will be hands down the awards show of the year.

In no way, shape or fashion should you consider missing the BET Awards.

The 2009 BET Awards will air live from Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, June 28 on BET at 8 p.m./7C.
