지난 8월 5일에 애틀란타에 위치한 컴파운드 클럽에서 거행된 제 6회 Billboard-AURN R&B/Hip-Hop Conference & Awards에서, Usher와 50 Cent가 각각 3개 부문을 거머쥐며, R&B와 Hip-Hop 부분에서, 다시 한번 세계 정상임을 인정 받았다.

총 5개 부문에서 후보에 올랐던 Lil\' Jon이 2개 부분에 수상된 것이 이변이었고, Mario와 Alicia Keys가 2관왕에 올라 변함없는 인기를 과시했다.

평생 한 번 뿐인 ‘신인상’은 Fantasia와 The Game에게 돌아갔으며, 최고의 레이블 상은 Interscope가 수상하였고, 최고의 ‘인디 레이블’ 상은 2년 연속으로 Lil\' Jon이 소속된 TVT에 돌아갔다.

이밖에 ‘공로상’은 Chaka Khan과 A Tribe Called Quest에게 수여되었다.

이번 제 6회 Billboard-AURN R&B/Hip-Hop Conference에서는 Ying Yang Twins, Fatty Koo, Chris Brown와 Keyshia Cole이 축하 공연을 펼쳤으며, Donell Jones, De La Soul, Jagged Edge와 Essence magazine 등이 시상자로 나섰다.
