Kendrick Lamar took home the award for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and gave a moving acceptance speech telling kids watching in Compton that if he can do it, they can do it!

”To my little home boys and my home girls back in the city, you looking at me on TV right now, I came up in that same county building, food stamps, welfare section eight … this is living proof that you can do anything you put your mind to. They call us the minority, Blacks, Latinos, but [you can have success] for sure if you keep love, God, and respect in your heart.”
