9ice was the biggest winner on the nite with 3 headies! I am really happy for omawumi, she has so much talent and boldness. i feel mode nine deseved to win the rap album of the year, may be they didnt want to fuel the "beef" with ruggedy. I dont know how and why Naeto c's Kini big deal got best rap single.
