Kanye West to Win MTV VMA's Vanguard Award

Shoutout to Kanye! Earlier this afternoon, MTV announced that this year's winner of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award will be none other than the Louie Vutton Don himself, Kanye West. West will be joining the list of some of music's finest that have won the prestigious award in the past like Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, The Beastie Boys, and David Bowie just to name a few........

With videos such as the ever-changing "Jesus Walks" (because there were 3 different versions of that video), the cartoon-inspired "Heartless", the incredibly symbolic and artistic "Power", and who could forget the movie that was "Runaway"? Kanye West has proven to be more than worthy of this award. He has truly grasped the concept of making art rather than simple music videos. Not to mention his performance is sure to be one for the books! This time around, when Kanye walks on stage, the world will be expecting it, and might even be pleased. The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards will air live this Sunday (August 30th) at 9pm!
