Posted by Shamz on Oct 28, 2009
Without further adieu here is the much talked about cypher from the 2009 BET Hip-Hop awards. Black Thought x Mos Def x Eminem x DJ Premier, nuff said... just watch. After the jump watch the other cyphers including rhymes from KRS-One, Wale, Buckshot, Joe Budden, and more. Then there's the 10 minute megamix mp3 of all cyphers put together. As a bonus, check out Goodie Mob's performance of "Cel Therapy" from the show as well. All respect due to Dre for the vids and audio.

J. Period always has the most amazing mixtapes and this one is no different. Nneka is one of my favourite artists i've discovered in a while, she has got so much soul in her music.
I think they should give her a spot on Nas & Damian Marleys album Distant Relatives. Definitely going to cop her album when it drops, hopefully they put it out on vinyl.

One way to increase the effectiveness of collagen is to provide real injections of collagen. These plans are not only painful, but are very costly and must be administered by a professional. These treatments can cost anywhere from $375-$700 every three to six months as the effects are not permanent. This can add up to an overall cost of $750 nfl jerseys

I like your theory. It explains a lot about Holmes/Watson too (both old and new), which, while not incest, always has turn-century-homophobia giving it a charge. Even if the writer doesn't choose to deal with the question of transgression directly, there's always going to be a reason that H&W can't be open about their relationship.

1. KRS-One - pay him every time somebody actually freestyles
2. Black Thought - passionate written, but says something, and "bipolar like Phyllis Hyman " = ill.
3. Joe Budden - actually said something. sober but hard-hitting
4. Eminem - overcompensated, too much of a great thing !
5. Buckshot - same as L but with less style and flair
6. The African guy - original, yet easy, no deer in headlights
7. Mos Def - Daunted ? Maybe. Half-assing ? Def (initely) !
7. Nipsey Hussle - true to his Coast stylistically. Easy !
8. Everybody else but...
Last. Wale and that girl - Wale did stink it up. The girl sucks, but she'll probably make a decent commercial album

True, Mos, Thought and, Em held it down! KRS is legendary! I just wanted to mention how fucks out there like Jay-Z claim to be the greatest MC in our era. I didn't see his fat lipped ass spit no freestyle or nice shit for that matter. What I DID see was a sick ass white kid from D (one of the sickest period) who has made millions upon millions in the game stand next to Black Thought and Mos Def two of the most under-rated MCs. The (commercial)world is fucked up.

Gotta agree Wale and NH;s Energy kinda chill and it would have worked had KRS not been batting Clean -Up. KRS - ONE KILLT (yup i said it) It. He's 5th on my top 5 MC's but First in the HIP HOP CYPHER... keeping the most tenets of HIP HOP and the Cypher intact. I did like Em's Flow very impressed, and Mos n BT that is guaranteed Milk. Nicki Minaj ...Only one Lady MC!?...
I wanna like her more than I do but her piece was just 2 convenient. (maybe it was the cigarette)
Much respect to all who flow in there first language... That is as real as you can be.
Awards:
Best Overall Cypher - Mos, Black, Em
Best Cypher MC - KRS ONE
IMHO
Peace and Passion

no doubt! even though it was pre written for all of 'em it was DOPE!
I have noticed that if people here someone in a cypher like this or on say Hot 97 spittin' and they haven't heard the verse before, they assume automatically it is a freestyle off the top and not a pre written verse when most of the time its not off the top!
Geez are people that DUMB? LOL!

...'nother thing. A cypher is about coming with fresh rhymes. If they're off the top and they're fresh it's a bonus. Rhyming a written on the spot can be challenging too. You gotta come to the cypher with energy.
KRS's verse was much simpler but he came from the old school of injecting power in his words and really moving the crowd. He also did this at Hip Hop Honors for the Beastie Boys set. A true MC. Wale wrote something with a lot of sports allusions as VA said, but he didn't come with a lot of energy. Mos, Em and BT had the illest verses. The alliteration and clarity of their lyrics made for a super dope cypher.

All of these were definitely pre-written, only a vet with nothing to prove like KRS would really freestyle in a cypher with talent like this on something for a major TV event, haha.
Still it was sick, BT killed it with Mos and Em a close second.

And I know this is going to rub the DMV the wrong way, but Wale is a fucking TURD!!!! The DMV can get behind this dude all day, but this ain't "The Matrix," so he's not "The One." How can you get on "The Funky Drummer" and sound like a complete SUCKA!!!!!

But beyond that...I echo everyone's thoughts. Black Thought, Mos Def, Eminem, always flawless...

Black Thought,Em, and The Blastmaster are legends; I wouldn't expect anything other than jewels from either of them. Was disappointed in Mos Def and mad proud of Joey.
Joey's a lyrical marvel who doesn't get the props that he's deserving of (probably persona related). Nonetheless, he held it down.
