The MTV VMAs are just around the corner, and one of the most intriguing categories this year has to be 'Best Hip-Hop Video'. There are some big names up for the prize, but who'll be celebrating on the night? It could be the brilliant Childish Gambino for his video 'Heartbeat', or maybe Drake and Lil Wayne for 'HYFR'.

Other names in the mix include Kanye West (and Pusha T, Big Sean and 2 Chainz) for 'Mercy', Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz for 'Beez in the Trap', and The Throne for 'Paris'.
