West scored for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, and also grabbed a win in the Best Collaboration category with T-Pain for their work together on West's song "Good Life," which appeared on his most recent studio set, last year's "Graduation."
UGK--also known as Underground Kingz--took home the prize for Best Group and also won in the Video of the Year category for "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)," which featured a guest contribution from Outkast.
