So this year's rap cypher on the BET Hip Hop Awards was a breath of fresh air. I walk away inspired and ready to conquer the world! Isn't that the true essence of Hip-Hop though?
There were seven cyphers featuring 32 artists in total! 32, way to go BET! The "underground" repped for the "foreground" this time around.
After watching all seven cyphers, I was googly eyed like I finally found my soul mate. Yes, I'm in love with Hip-Hop all over again! He makes me mad sometimes though! Especially when he wouldn't shut up about "Tony Montana" yesterday. Side eye. Sometimes he makes a lot of noise but says nothing! We always make up though, I love em'. Pause.
Check out a list of all 32 rappers featured along with some of my fave verses they spit.
