Despite some pretty touch competition Drake picked up the award for the Best Hip-Hop Video at the MTV's Video Music Awards this week. 

The Canadian rapper won the award for his HYFR video featuring Lil Wayne. The video beat Jay-Z and Kanye West, as well as Big Sean and Pusha T to scoop the award. 

The video pays homage to the rappers Jewish roots, as he plays out a bar mitzvah. When picking up the award, he brought up the entire Young Money crew , which included Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.
