Eminem Vs. Iggy Azalea: Who Will Win The Ultimate 2014 VMA Rap Battle?

Will the newcomer take down the veteran?

Well, isn't this interesting. A veteran rapper and a newbie MC will be facing off in the hip-hop categories at the 2014 MTV Music Video Awards. The full list of nominations has been announced and it's no surprise that Eminem clocked in seven nods for his Marshall Mathers LP 2 album, but who would've guessed that Iggy Azalea would be his stiffest competition? They're both tied for seven.

"Fancy" sent Iggy to new heights, landing her nominations for Video of the Year, Best Art Direction and Best Female Video -- where she doubled up thanks to her work with Arianna Grande on "Problem."

She and Eminem will only battle each other directly for Best Collaboration, where Shady got a nod for his work with Rihanna on "Monster," and the 24-year-old nabbed one for "Problem" as well.
