(AllHipHop News) The MTV Video Music Awards has been a national past time of nipslips, pregnancy reveals, expensive performances and overall shock for over 25 years. This year’s 2013 MTV Video Music Awards was the first held in Brooklyn at the new Barclay’s Center and from the looks of the festivities, Brooklyn should be the home for the VMA’s from now on.
Check out AllHipHop’s Top 3 Losers and Winners of last night’s MTV’s Video Music Awards
VMA LOSERS:
Miley Cyrus’ #TwerkQueen Crown Deflates On Stage
Miley Cyrus’ 2013 (especially summer) was basically three things: left butt cheek, right butt cheek, gyration. The woman who even has Jay-Z asserting that ” somewhere in America, Miley Cyrus is still twerking” performed at the Video Music Awards dressed in flesh color underwear Besides the awkward (sometimes off beat) dancing which included backing her thang up on Robin Thicke during his performance of “Blurred Lines”, the internet took note of Miley’s butt cheeks which sagged out of her booty shorts and did not let her forget:
A$AP Rocky Reminds Jason Collins (and the world) He’s Gay
In late April of this year, Jason Collins became the first active professional basketball player to admit to being a homosexual. While presenting together at the VMA’s, A$AP Rocky decided to remind Collins and the world that Collins is a representation of “homosexuals”. Rocky even makes sure to point in case people were unaware of who he was referring to:
Kanye West Lets His Shadow Perform For Him
Kanye West enjoys being the anti-superstar, reveling in disproving expectations. Sometimes it creates masterful works (“Blame Game”, “New Slaves”, dating Amber Rose). Sometimes it’s over-sensationalized crap (“Guilt Trip”, “Drunk and Hot Girls”, dating Kim Kardashian). His performance at the 2013 Video Music Awards teetered between both but completely went off the deep end when Kanye opted to have a shadowy image of himself flail around(often out of frame) as he performed Yeezus standout track “Blood on the Leaves”.

Macklemore Silences Drake and Has Amazing Performance
Macklemore won Best Hip Hop Video for his and Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t Hold Us” music video beating out Drake’s “Started From The Bottom”, J. Cole’s “Power Trip”, A$AP Rocky’s “F*ckin’ Problems” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools”. After Drake’s priceless reaction to losing the award, Macklemore, Ryan Lewis and Mary Lambert delivered a soul-stirring performance of “Same Love” which included an unexpected duet between Lambert and surprise guest Jennifer Hudson.
Brooklyn
The biggest winner of last night and the entire weekend was the borough of Brooklyn. Katy Perry performing under the Brooklyn Bridge was not only the culmination of the MTV Video Music Awards but also a grandiose send-off for a weekend that included Afropunk Festival and a plethora of pre-VMA parties.
