Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Win Big at 2013 MTV Video Music Awards for ‘Can’t Hold Us’ and ‘Same Love’

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis came into the MTV Video Music Awards tied with Justin Timberlake for the most nominations -- six for each. The 'Can't Hold Us' rapper already took half of his nominations.

The platinum-selling duo won two Moonmen for 'Can't Hold Us.' These were for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Cinematography. The former was particularly impressive because of how stacked the category was; Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Drake and J. Cole were also competing for that award.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also won for Best Video With a Social Message for 'Same Love.' Macklemore noted the video wasn't just pro-gay rights, but also pro-human rights.
