Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.
The whole 2 Chainz robbery fiasco. The culprits. Tit for initially denying it and you fuck boys on the Internet who made him feel like he should. Ain't no shame in defending yourself by fists or by feet. It ain't safe in these streets.
Trae Tha Truth, Chipmunk, Iggy Azaela, B.o.B., & T.I.
As always, the highlight of last night’s Hip-Hop Awards were the cyphers. Personally, there weren’t any “oh shit!” moments this year, but I took the liberty of bolding the best spitter of each group. Here are the rips courtesy of yardie. Let the great debates begin.
Jaybird, Hopsin, ScHoolboy Q, Mac Miller, & Mystikal
Jean Grae, Sarkodie, Ab Soul, & Talib Kweli
Angel Haze, Joey BadA$$, Driiky Graham, Childish Gambino, & A$AP Rocky
Xzibit, YG, Kurupt, E-40, DJ Quik, Kendrick Lamar, & Snoop Dogg
Murda Mook, Cassidy, Eve, & DMX

Kendrick Lamar killed that shit
huh? he was off beat.
Kendrick probably was the best and after that I gotta give it to Joey Bada$$
Trae and tip was fire…. boo to the rest
i agree with b-dot. kendrick was off beat and joey badass is overrated. rambling a whole bunch of nothing.
NIGGAS IS STILL WATCHIN’ BAMBOOZLED ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION???
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
mac miller looks like a class A drug addict/douchebag
Cassidy,Ab Soul & Talib >>>>
40 had the best verse. point blank
Childish Gambino was dope! Ruff Ryders was the biggest dissapointment
Cassidy killed it.
@citylivin’ Cassidy was garbage they should of put Jadakiss instead of him.
JoeyBadAss/Cassidy/Dmx/
You will never see J. Cole or Drake in a cypher cuz they take 9 weeks to write there rehersed veres
Talib Kweli > Ab Soul. Listen again, B.Dot
What was so special about Cassidy? Joey BadA$$ the best
need to hear the unedited versions i thought mook had the best verse in ruff ryders cypher but now listening back to it i think X really got off if i can hear what the bleeps were. gambino was best in his cypher and talib in his. mac miller was correct and snoop was correct simply because he freestyled.
1. Childish 2. Mac 3. Cassidy
Childish Gambino WAS THE BEST SIMPLY CAUSE HE CLEARLY FUCKED UP BUT THEN GOT RIGHT BACK WITH IT. HE WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE.
i had to listen to Joey verse like 3 times to make sure i didnt miss nothing and i didnt its still was weak as i though the first time i heard it and i like the kid but those bars are pretty half assed for him.
GRAND HUSTLE CYPHER?
E40 gambino Cassidy Talib
1. Ja Rule 2. Tah 3. Charlie Blatimore
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan
talib dissed BET in his verse…its funny yall want me to spit but never play me
EASY . MOOK!
Why didn’t they just do a Black Hippy Cypher? Shit woulda been better than the GOOD Music Cypher
Damn compared to the previous years…all these shits was weak!
Rocky and Cassidy MURDERED THAT! did you hear what they said?! what?!
Joey BadA$$ and Gambino >>>>
The Rza cipher had the best line for line MCs, they all burned it. the kid Joey Bada$$, Dricky Graham really went in, but all of em were nasty. Mac Miller and Hopsin showed out (loved Mystikal too), Kweli & Sarkodie killed it, the West coast rocked (Kendrick wasnt off beat, he was just kicking advanced flows, some of yall are just too basic to follow), and TI & Grand Hustle had a respectable session. The Ruff Ryders one kinda disappointed ’cause most of the RR heavyweights were absent (Eve & Mook were impressive, Cassidy & X killed).
@B.dot ……..dude childish gambinos verse was more original than Asaps, and it gotten crowd reaction.
But if anything angel haze shoulda got bolded, Asaps verse was boring and typical.
I
Kendrick Lamar’s ( and E-40 but Kendrick was more lyrical) verse was the only one that really stood out. Snoops wasn’t that impressive. -_-
Hopsin is dope lyrically but he overdoes it with the voice impressions, Highlight for me was seeing one of my top 5 D.O.A. artists, The Quiksta himself, spittin his rhymes permed the fuck out while poundin the beat on the domino table. That shit was dope.
T.I. might be dopest one IMO and b.dot always gon take a shot at Kendrick we understand u don’t fuck with him
mystikal killed it
CASSIDY KILLED, DMX VERSE WAS TOO REAL FOR TV, LOL
i rememba 2chainz got his shine in the cypher last year…this’s some weak ass shit….
BoB, mystikal (his delivery had me dyin), talib, Joey, dmx, Kendrick…Kendrick wasn’t off beat at all, don’t know what you were listening to.
And I lost a lot of respect for people today…I’ll admit I listen to some of his stuff if I see it on a website…but childish gambino?? He wasn’t even close to being one of the best.
Unfortunately the shady cypher will never be matched!
Just remember the name Chip!!
Weak sauce for the most part. Yes Snoop that means you too, at least I see why he wears that hat now. Niggaz wasn’t sayin’ nothin. Childish had some shit. Mac miller flowed but he ain’t snap. E40 repped proper. Tip got wack juice on him I can’t put my finger on it. Wasn’t no Good music cypher that’s for sure. Wasn’t no Nicki Minaj /Joe budden cypher that’s for sure. Wasn’t no Rev run Ice cube cypher that’s for sure. Yeah shit was just weak this year.
Talib Kweli was the highlight of the night. Childish killed, 40 Water killed, and K. Dot killed. Hopsin was good too. Everyone else can fall back. Jean Grae seemed like she didn’t even wanna be there. Very disappointed in her verse.
yup!!! i think chip KILLED IT!!! “about to do like al-qaueda an blow up the states” whaaattt! fire!!
Best
Mac Miller
Kweli
ASAP Rocky
Kendrick Lamar (was ON beat, re-listen to it)
Cassidy
Gambino ended his verse well, but otherwise was not as tight as Rocky’s.
Most disappointing:
Jean Grae
She looked like Obama in the debate, no energy, didn’t try that hard.
Most style: Mac Miller (to my surprise)
Most substance: Kendrick Lamar
lol @ the Audacity of London rapper Chip
“al-Qaeda bout to blow up in the states”
suprised BET didn’t edit that part out
Joey BadA$$ look at A$AP Face while he spit
It wasnt that great, but the west coast killed it.
Kurupt prolly freestyled something different every take hes crazy!
E-40 did his thing and got smiles the most to me
but i gotta say….why is no one talkin bout Xzibit!?!?! dude is crazy
you young niggaz go do ur history and listen to 40 Days and 40 Nights, At The Speed Of Life… feel sorry for this generation…Napalm is sick!
Talib was solid too as was DMX and Cass
