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.

Ab-Soul held it

Last Tuesday, Ab-Soul appeared on DJ Tony Touch’s gig and showcased a few slick rhymes over the Shade 45 airwaves. Hopefully by now you copped Control System.
This was an interesting read, especially since it shows how music and pop culture can blend in unexpected ways. T-Pain’s use of Auto-Tune really changed the sound of modern music, and it’s cool to see how artists and even public figures get referenced in creative ways like this. It highlights how certain trends spread and influence different parts of culture over time. It also made me think about how creativity shows up in everyday things beyond music. Even in something like car ownership, small personal touches can reflect style and personality. For example, using honda acty seat covers is a simple way to add comfort while also protecting the interior, which is a practical upgrade that still ties into personal taste and care. Overall, it’s interesting to see how different topics connect, whether it’s music, culture, or even cars.
