Tyler, The Creator, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj were just a few of the performers to win at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
The show, which featured performances from Jay-Z and Kanye West, Beyoncé, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, broadcasted live from Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, taking an alternative approach and airing without a host this year.
Tyler, The Creator beat out Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Foster the People and Kreayshawn for Best New Artist, lacing his acceptance speech with a string of expletives.
Nicki Minaj nabbed Best Hip Hop video for “Super Bass,” edging out Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now,” Kanye West’s “All of the Lights,” Lil Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot” and Lupe Fiasco’s “The Show Goes On.”
Kanye West scored a moonman with Katy Perry for the remix to the chart-topping “E.T.,”

whats the point in your existence? go sit in a corner and think about that for 10 minutes….
Anyone noticed that Tyler’s mom was saying, “Thank you, Lord! Hallelujah!” during the acceptance speech? #IronKnee
LOL, yeah man. Imagine if you were the mother of a fucked up kid with behavioral problems who ditched college and rapped all day in his basement about killing and raping bitches. You would be thanking the lord too. She looked relieved as fuck right there. Imagine all those teachers and child therapists who told her that her son wasn’t gonna amount to be shit. Golf Wang bitches!

hometown winner gotta respect it
Look at the competition he had to go against. Wiz Khalifa who at this point just sucks. Big Sean, who’s monotonous tone makes even strip club anthems sound like lullabies. Kreyshawn who’s an embarassment to both Hip Hop and white people alike. And whoever that no name last guy was. Tyler you got this cuz everybody else sucked harder than you. Congratulations
this^
He will be killed an an unfortunate chain of events.
to be honest i just really hate his fanbase. the dude is actually not bad and has potential, but the kids who listen to him are fucking white faggots and make you not want to be apart of it.
if other people impact on you liking something you should just kill yourself
stop with the fucking race card pulled in hip hop, who gives a fuck really. its all about the music.
Thank you
