MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip Hop Video)
The following is a list of the MTV Video Music Awards winners for Best Hip-Hop Video.
The award, according to MTV, is for hip-hop-inspired songs, not necessarily actual hip-hop music videos (which are instead honored by "Best Rap Video"). This explains the recognition of non-hip-hop songs such as "Thong Song" and "I'm Real (Murder Remix)".
This award was not given out in 2007, as the VMAs were revamped and most original categories were eliminated. In 2008, though, MTV will be bringing back this category, along with several of the others that were retired in 2007.
