Seriously, the cyphers are the only reason to watch the BET Hip Hop Awards. Next year they should have only cyphers and just scroll at the bottom of the screen who won the awards. Or better yet, just throw out the awards show all together and just keep the cyphers. You listening Debra L. Lee?
The cyphers were mostly good this year (I think this is the most BET has ever had). The one thing that’s funny is that Ross & Maybach Music had the best one. Until Shady 2.0 came up. It’s kinda unfair though since Em’s crew got longer verses as well a different location and a different beat.
