Gucci Mane, Travi$ Scott, Young Thug and Quavo just opened the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards and shut down the stage.

Guwop started things off iced out in chains and a black fur while the stage was filled with smoke and the TV screen was all black and white filtered. As the ATL legend rapped his verse from "1st Day Out The Fed" and Zaytoven, played a white grand piano, Gucci then beckoned Travi$ onstage for their collab "Last Time."

Gucci then bowed off stage and things got really colorful when La Flame called on Young Thug and Quavo for "Pick Up The Phone." The three jumped around stage while some 3D style graphics morphed the images on screen. La Flame bounced around and almost broke his telephone booth onstage.

It was reported earlier today that "Pick Up The Phone" just went certified Gold in sales by the RIAA. The auto-tuned banger currently sits at No. 17 on Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B charts and No. 43 on the Hot 100.

Check out Gucci, Trav, Thugger and Quavo get things lit early with their opening performance at the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards above. And in case you haven't already, peep the XXL Fall 2016 cover story featuring Young Thug and Gucci Mane, The Protege and the Professor, here.
