Although Drake was not able to attend the MTV VMAs, where the rapper-singer won the “Best Hip Hop Video” award for “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” the emcee delivered his acceptance speech while on tour with Lil Wayne.
In his speech, Drake thanks God, his mother and Lil Wayne. He also responds to critics who said “Hold On, We’re Going Home” was not a Hip Hop record.
“I know this is a Hip Hop award,” Drake says in the concert clip, “and I know a lot of you are frustrated like, ‘this is not a Hip Hop song.’ And you know what? You’re right. I tricked you all. Rappers, better luck next year.”
The category also included the following videos: Eminem’s “Bezerk,” Childish Gambino’s “3005” Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead” and Wiz Khalifa’s “We Dem Boyz.”

that was song straight pussy juice
YUMS
Y’all muthafuckas done inflated this pussy ass niggas head now smh.
just goes to show you how f@cked up the game is and how dumb as sh@t the people in charge are
Just goes to show you that Drake is the ultimate troll and delivered one of the baddest one liners you’ll ever hear: “Rappers, better luck next time.”
No, that is a terrible one-liner.
You’re only going to see guys like Drake and Wayne do serious numbers because they value hard work and know how to move a crowd. That’s emceeing.
Drake basically told other rappers to go hard or go home, and judging by the way they’re slacking off in the rhyming department, he might be right. Sales are decreasing year after year, and pretty soon, if they don’t step their game up, Uncle Sam gonna repossess all their awards, their houses, everything they used to work for.
No, those guys do numbers because dumb kids with poor music taste buy their shit. There’s many rappers who’ve worked harder and rock a crowd better than those two.
Well, evidently, that crowd is rocking back and forth to sleep.
Yeah, Drake and Wayne really puts people to sleep.
Yeah, Drake and Wayne know how to move a crowd, toward the exit.
So Drake won a HIP HOP award for a song even HE ADMITS IS NOT HIP HOP.
Just more proof Drake runs rap, fools be throwing awards at him for no reason.
naw, just more proof you’re an idiot not worthy to speak on a public forum
now go back to class boy
drake is a genius. he knows what the fuck he is doing. he raps in order for people to call him hip hop, but makes R&B type songs like “hold on, we’re going home” and people still nominate him for hip hop because they really can’t place him anywhere else. same with others like nelly, ja rule or kid cudi. all you old hatin ass niggas should just accept that hip hop has changed for the better and drake is leading the way.
Wrong, stanley.
you again? love how you always say i’m wrong but never have anything else to say, which means i’m right.
Don’t have to anything else because you’re never right about anything. Drake ain’t shit and there’s a bunch of rappers who are superior to him.
no one is superior to drake. not jay electronica, not j.cole, not childish gambino, not kendrick lamar, not big krit, no one.
Those rappers you named are superior to Drake and so are legends like Jay Z, Eminem, and Nas.
sorry, but no one sells albums quicker than Drake. NWTS was the fastest selling album, selling 1.3 million copies in 2013. I’d like to see your favorite rappers sell that amount of records in that fast amount of time.
Since you wanna talk sales, let’s talk sales. There’s many rappers who’ve sold more and quicker than Drake. NWTS is NOT the fastest selling album of 2013, that title goes to Eminem for MMLP2, which sold more than 2 million to date. Aubrey still has some catching up to do. Even so, sales doesn’t make an artist better.
Nothing Was the Same debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 658,000. The album had the second highest first week sales of any album in 2013, at the time of its release.

^^^really?
Thanks for proving my point that Eminem sold more than Drake.
I wasn’t stating that Em sold MORE than Drake, I stated that Eminem sold much SLOWER than Drake. asshole. Can’t you read?
No, Eminem sold faster. Read what you post, dumbass.
Funny because you edited the information about MMLP2. Here’s the real info.
In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling more than 792,000 copies in its first week, becoming the second-biggest debut of 2013 and the second-largest sales week of the year, only behind the debut of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, which bowed at number one with 968,000 in March. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 logs the sixth-biggest sales week of the past five years. The album also marks Eminem’s seventh No. 1 album.[104] In its second week the album dropped to number two, selling 210,000 more copies.[105] In its third week the album returned to number one on the Billboard 200, selling 120,000 more copies.[106] In its fourth week the album dropped to number two on the Billboard 200, selling 199,000 more copies.[107] The album sold 1,727,000 copies in the United States in 2013, making it the second best-selling album of the year.[108] As of August 03, 2014, the album has sold 2,169,610 copies in United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.[109]

How can his album debut at #1, while also being his first #9 album, then drop to #2? Definitely edited.
A lot of albums in this time frame have sold in the ten thousands. Look @ Childish Gambino, French Montana, 50 Cent, and Tyler the Creator. They’ve sold tens of thousands in the first week. You anonymous pussies edited that information, not me.
I didn’t edit that information, you did, Drake fanboy.
DRAKE IS A REAL FUCKIN NIGGA, I FUCK WIT DAT NIGGA
You know what? You’re right!
Let’s go get some pizza and discuss our newly formed friendship.
drake ain’t hip hop. he’s just pop singer.
IF U REALLY THINK KANYE WEST IS A BETTER SINGER THAN DRAKE YOUR A DICKHEAD IN DENIAL
It’s not Drake’s fault that he is the second coming of Nas and Marvin Gaye rolled into one.
He’s not, though.
Nigga what is YOU smoking on? Not too many rappers can harmonize or rap as great as Drake can
Drake is an average rapper and he sings horribly. I can name better rapper/singers:
Better rappers: Jay Z, Nas, Eminem, Rakim, Big L, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, etc.
Better singers: Andre 3000, Cee-Lo, Bone Thugs, Mos Def, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, etc.
And yet, Drake has outclassed and surpassed them all. Thank you.
No, he hasn’t.
This guy really said 3k, Cee-Lo, Bone, Mos, Missy, and West are better singers. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
^ It’s true.
Cee-Lo “Free”, Mos Def “Umi Says”, BTNH “Tha Crossroads” >>>>>>>>>>> Drake’s “singing”
i cant believe you guys forgot Lauren.
That tells you how stupid MTV are.
Bobby Shmurda’s Hot Nigga should of won a VMA
Do you know how to do the Shmurda Dance ?
the king racking up his accolades while haters conthinue to stay mad at the sucess. Its only a matter of time before drake is regarded as a legend and the greatest of the new generation. Just remember haters you are a minority
You’re still wrong.
At least even drake admitted that wasn’t a hip hop record, when will these fucking retards including DX realize that r & b is fucking different than hip hop
We’re well aware of the difference. We don’t need you to point it out, Captain Obvious Prick
Drake is dope when he wants to actually flow. But lately, this motherfucka being such a damn pussy. NWTS was such a soft album, you can’t even call it hip hop. Drake better grow some balls and bring some heat on the next album, otherwise he might as well not even call himself a rapper, that bitch a singer.
Because it’s soft? It’s not Hip-Hop? I guess half of Common’s albums aren’t Hip-Hop either.
Two different situations.
Common actually RAPS,Drake SINGS.
Drake also has bars when he starts goin in
He sings and raps. What part of that confuses you?
drake is faggot
I tricked you all? No MTV just gave out a weak award.
Don’t be jealous because you’re a hater and Drake is a superstar.
Where’s the jealousy and hate? OP spoke the truth. MTV is a joke who rather show crappy reality shows than music videos.
Drake received an award because MTV recognizes and respects talent. Plain and simple.
No, it’s because of the opposite. MTV doesn’t care about talent, only popularity.
Yeah, MTV, the same network that gave Miley Cyrus video of the year for licking a sledgehammer and straddling a wrecking ball naked recognizes and respect talent.
Miley Cyrus is a gifted and talented artist. She has the guts to think outside the box, something other pop “artists” are incapable of doing.
dude, you’re arguing with a troll
use some intelligent conversation to make the loser troll stop commenting or start another conversation
Miley isn’t gifted and talented. She’s doing the same shit other pop artists are doing.
If Miley Cyrus can ride a wrecking ball without falling or tipping over, then that should tell you it’s a metaphor referring to how well she can ride the dick. She’s an artist of omnipotent and unlimited talent. Miley is on her way to becoming the next Madonna.
If thinking outside the box means shaking your ass and running around either half-naked or full naked, then almost every female artist is thinking outside the box.
There is no metaphor in her riding the wrecking ball. Miley’s an artist with zero talent or originality and she will never be the next Madonna.
Fuck you, son. Hannah Montana was Miley Cyrus’ magnum opus, her best work in her catalog. Growing up in the hood, we used to wake up 8 in the morning, grab our bowls of cereals, turn on the tube to Disney and sing the theme song, “Best of Both Worlds”. Before we went to school, Mom made sure we never forgot our sequined Hannah Montana lunchboxes. At night, before we went to sleep have niggas huddled up 6 in the bed(3 at the foot, 3 at the head) and we would ask our mothers to read us a bedtime story, and they would hand us our Hannah Montana dolls to cuddle with. You know, with the pink guitar. Miley has more creative talent and imagination than you do in your anonymous pinkie.
I don’t wanna see your sick, twisted fanfiction tales.
MTV may be a joke now, but their name still means more than you think. Drake won. Not a big deal, but still enough of a deal for millions to watch.
It doesn’t.
Eminems Bizerk??? lol song was the wackest song ever to come out in the history of mankind #WHITEPRIVILEGE
Nah, there’s worse songs out there.
Lorde won best Rock. So a big wtf to the whole show anyway
As a kid we couldn’t wait for the VMA’s see all are favorite rappers perform… Back in the golden age of hiphop!! Now MTV has no cred as a music station.. By the way Bone Thugs N Harmony had the best hiphop performance ever!! So fuck MTV
Damn, he a bitch nigga. But you know, that was a pretty good statement lol. Like a giant middle finger to his critics, can’t knock that shit lol!
love him
I hope this fool gets strangled
You better curb your tongue or he’ll strangle you.
He doesn’t have the balls to do it.
OMG! this is too cool, Drake is so cute, I can’t stop dancing when I hear him. #DanceFever
“Better singers: Andre 3000, Cee-Lo, Bone Thugs, Mos Def, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, etc.”
Andre sounds gay. Cee Lo sounds like he’s gurgling cat piss. Bone Thugs were gangsta rappers. Mos Def was more lyrical than Drake, but couldn’t construct songs to save his back child support non paying ass. Missy Elliot was annoying as fuck, and Kanye used Auto Tune to hide the fact he had no range.
Not true, not true, they still sing in their records, Mos Def can make a song, Missy ain’t annoying, and Kanye has more range than Drake, who also used AutoTune.
Name Mos Def’s last hit. Does he even have a hit? lol
So not making a hit means you can’t make a song? Where’s the logic?
I wish I could feel Drake deep inside of me, he’s a real man.
