Kanye West almost grabbed Beck's best album Grammy onstage

Beck surprised Grammy viewers and musicians alike Sunday night by beating out Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, and Pharrell for the show's biggest award — best album.

As soon as Prince read Beck's name ...

Kanye West — who notoriously rushed the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards after Taylor Swift won best female video over Beyoncé — then jokingly began to crash Beck's acceptance speech. 

But he quickly turned around and went back to his seat, with a big smile on his face.

Let's see that again.

Beck was left onstage alone and confused. "I need some help!" he quickly said into the microphone, before his collaborators joined him at the podium.

Jay Z seemed mortified when it looked as if Kanye were serious, but he broke into laughter when he realized it was a joke.

At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech, saying, "Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."
