Snoop Dogg and Neptunes producer Pharrell Williams performed during the evening. Williams called Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s death a shame and said that the Hip-Hop community should stick together.
Roc-A-Fella CEO Jay-Z won the Favorite Male Artist in the Rap/Hip-Hop category.
Jay-Z’s artist, Kanye West was unhappy about the night’s proceedings.
He was nominated in three categories and was shut out of them all, including best new artist, which went to country singer Gretchen Wilson.
"I feel I was definitely robbed, I was the best new artist this year," West said. "I don't know if I'll be back at this award show next year."
