Tonight the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards aired. As much as Im not typically a fan of award shows, the Cyphers of the BET Hip Hop Awards always end up being the most captivating view - this year was no different. As usual just about every region was represented with a thorough lineup of emcees from coast to coast.

First up we take it to Philly with the State Property Cypher featuring Peedi Crakk, Freeway, Beanie Sigel, Omillio Sparks, Neef Buck, and DJ Premier holdin down the decks.

Next up we get up with Jersey Citys Sam Black, Phillys own Ms. Jade & Kur, Harlems own Dave East and closed out by Brooklyns Young M.A.

Jidenna, Consequence, Rain 910, 3D Na'Tee, and Aaron Cook$ hold down the next cypher.

For a dose of ridiculousness we get Lil Wayne going head to head with Kevin Hart as his rapping alter-ego Chocolate Droppa for this cypher.
