MIAMI ? It's the only awards show where you'll see more stars wearing name brands like Dickies and Timberland than Louis Vuitton and Armani.

The sixth annual Source Awards took place Monday night with the absent 50 Cent leading the pack with two major nods.

Despite his on-wax beef with The Source's co-owner Ray Benzino, the voters couldn't deny 50, giving his Get Rich or Die Tryin' Album of the Year honors while his "In Da Club" took home Single of the Year - Male.

The other big winners of the night were Nelly, who won Artist of the Year - Male, and the Neptunes, who took home the prize for Producer of the Year. Lil' Kim came away from the ceremony as the night's top lady, grabbing Artist of the Year - Female.

Beyond the awards, the highlight of the night was the Dirty South medley, where Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, David Banner, Bone Crusher, Lil' Flip and the Ying Yang Twins hit the stage. The artists kept things crunk not only with their rowdy tunes, but by having strippers as backup dancers. The ladies flashed their bare breasts, showed their butt cheeks and gyrated on poles.

Ja Rule did not fare as well during his performance of "The Crown" and "Clap Back." Although he had people on their feet, he received some boos when he finished his performance. That was the second time during the night he heard it from the crowd ? earlier, the fans dissed him when he won R&B/Rap Collaboration of the Year for "Thug Lovin' " with Bobby Brown. Rule did not even go onstage to accept his award.

Other winners included the Clipse for Single of the Year - Group with "Grindin' " and Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz for Artist of the Year - Group and Video of the Year for "I Don't Give a F---." A spokesperson for the event said that additional winners will be announced at a later date.

The Source Awards will air November 11 on BET.
