Hip Hop’s #1 rapper/songwriter Drake won the prestigious “Songwriter of the Year” award at the 11th Annual BMI Urban Awards last night at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles. Drake is most deserving of that honor. BMI collects licensing fees for artists and publishers for most of the music you hear on the radio.

In attendance were singers Christina Milian (pictured above), Dawn Richard (pictured below), Charlie Wilson, legendary funkster Bootsy Collins, rappers The Game, Wiz Khalifa, Busta Rhymes, Ace Hood, Lex Luger, and more!

Also wining top honors last night was rapper Snoop Dogg, who attended the awards with his wife Shante Broadus and daughter. Snoop was presented the icon award by super producer Dr. Dre.

It’s a sure bet that rapper Wiz “Smoked out” Khalifa will be diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s before he’s 65 if he doesn’t stop smoking that loud or snorting that yay.
