Following an incredible opening performance of 'DNA.' and 'HUMBLE.', Kendrick went onto win Best Hip Hop, Best Cinematography, Best Direction, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and Video Of The Year. Accepting the latter, Kendrick beamed: "Man, glory to God every time, you know what I'm saying? Giving us these amazing talents."
