MTV Video Music Awards/Best Rap Video

Der MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video wurde erstmals 1989 ausgegeben als einer von vier in diesem Jahr eingeführten Genre-Kategorien. 2007, als der MTV Video Music Award umstrukturiert wurde, wurde die Kategorie gestrichen. Als 2008 zum ursprünglichen System zurückgekehrt wurde, wurden sie nicht zurückgebracht. Videos aus dem Rap-Genre sind heute unter Best Hip-Hop-Video zu finden.

Die großen Gewinner des Awards waren Will Smith (einmal davon als Teil des Duos DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince), Arrested Development, Dr. Dre und Jay-Z, die den Award je zweimal gewannen.
