Wow. YouTube awards … not sure if it’s a mess or if it’s just pure fun.
amei muito mesmo bjs,ana
Biggest disaster ever! Censored half of Tyler’s performance and can’t even keep 200k views. The hosts are horrible and the performances are boring.
The hosts are retarded. Just watching for EM’s performance.
Sometimes it looks dull.
Yeah that’s mainly why I was watching. He kinda killed it but his mic was too low… in fact everyone’s was. Just an overall terrible award show.
Fuckk these hosts are a retarded fuckks. EM won youtube artist of the year. BOSS.
Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Wale have all gone gold and goes no.1 each time while 50 cent and g unit can’t even an album out.
50 Cent sold more records than each one of them. Suck it up loser.
No he didn’t.
Yes he did. Look it up u idiot.
Ross didn’t go gold every time, Wale only went gold and went to #1 once, and Meek Mill never went gold and never went to #1 at all.
eminem looks sick.
Damnnn Eminem rapped the WHOLE Rap God song.. Damn thats hard. DOPE.
He looked high though…
Eminem did a good job. but he looks back on drugs. His eyes were huge.
Anyway, still nice to see him perform rap god live, was dope.
He fucking killed it…….
