BET Cypher 2012 Line-Up

[classthe_king]

I wish they would release the unedited versions

Could Schoolboy Q be anymore terrible? Holy shit, even Mac Miller murked him.

I thought Hopsin did alright, he had some good lines and some times where he dragged the multi out way too long and was saying meaningless shit just to rhyme.

That's all of them

[LIL_B]

Lil B, Riff Raff, Bronson and CH on the same cypher that'd be crazy

[BigBoss]

Out of all of them I'm liking Kendrick's tbh.


Hop's was ok but forgettable

My ****** 40 Water(E-40) went dumb

T.I/B.O.B were decent

Schoolboy q was great

Mac Miller was cool

The rest are meh

[CrashBand]

some times where he dragged the multi out way too long and was saying meaningless shit just to rhyme.

That's his biggest / only major flaw that I'd wish he'd snap the fuck out of.

My brother was saying Mac Miller had a cool flow.

I don't get it though. He didn't sound that great to me... in any aspect really.

[Slim Fiasco]

The beats were fucking horrible.

[CrashBand]

-first time I hear of this JayBird dude, had a good verse, enjoyed the way he rapped tbh, I know nothing about him.
Damn Hop! fucking killed his verse, "You can't touch me, like Pac's hologram" that line killed me tbh great verse

That JayBird was a fucking cornball and cringeworthy. "I'm way 'tupac'er than you".
Riiiight, Nice one.

and that was the only line I didn't like from Hop. Bit of a stupid simile.
Rest of his verse was dope though.

Mac miller actually did pretty good
Hop did great ( major fan ofcourse)
schoolboy q didn't really looked like he wanted to be there?
mystikal lol? and jay bird boy is not really a rapper

Liked the other cyphers too, just the one with the blond girl, she looks drunk or on drugs and her voice, it's so awfull..

[knockmathers]

Damnnn!!! THE RUFF RYDERS CYPHER went in..DMX and Cassidy killed that!

THE WEST COAST CYPHER was something X murked that shit, Kurrupt went in, E-40 was ok, boy did Kendrick ever go in and its time for Snoop to retire!

Mac Miller was a surprise!

My favorite was Hopsin out of everyone, "Truth is Yall cant touch me like Pac's Hologram" "When ur sleeping, Ill find ur window and just stare inside it" <----- Gave me goose bumps just thinking about it, "I know what you mad for, cuz im living my dream and urs"

Can someone Rip the audio for Hopsin's Cypher so I can put it on my phone?

Still SHADY 2.0 the Champions!

exactly this..

[King Lance]

for me, there isn't a better bet freestyle =p
Black Thought & Eminem were amazing.

Mos Def, Black Thought & Eminem - Freestyle - Bet 2009

Props to Snoop for going off the dome. I think all these cyphers should be like that, and with people trading off each other rhymes. It would give a more genuine feel and we could see a certain chemistry between the participants. It kinda feels dull otherwise.

[classthe_king]

Here are my overall views

-Jaybird was wack, his raps were more corny than his name, don't know how he got it.
-Hopsin did decent, I liked the tupac hologram line and the living my dream and yours line but those were the only stand out lines. The rest were either pretty good rhyming or terrible, bland rhyming.
-ScHoolboy Q was absolutely terrible. Worst energy and delivery ever. How embarrassing
-Just because Mac Miller did better than expected doesn't mean he did well, he was still terrible and has the douchiest persona ever, he just had decent rhyming.
-Mystikal isn't suited for cyphers, he's much better on studio tracks

Hopsin > * > Schoolboy Q


-West Coast Cypher:
-Xzibit did pretty well from what I could understand, way too much cussing for a cypher you knew was gonna get censored.
-I still can't get a feel for Kendrick Lamar, I'm starting to see why people like him so much but I'm not ready to get on the bandwagon just yet
-E-40 was terrible and annoying, he seemed like he was talking. I'm hot like the left sink handle, lolwow
-Everyone else was super average, however I loved how DJ Quik had to tap along with premo the whole time, shows how much Hip-Hop is a part of him

Kendrick > Xzibit > * > E-40

-T.I. did exactly as I thought he would, great delivery and flow with mediocre lyrics
-B.o.B. was that dude after the terrible first rhyme of self and self
-Why the fuck would they sign this terrible english dude lmao

B.o.B. > T.I. > *

-Jean Grae sounded almost as bad as Schoolboy Q, if you're gonna get a chance to go on BET and rap in front of the world you better make the most of it
-Ab-Soul is terrible, why is he rapping about pyramids and planet nibiru? I know that sounds kinda hypocritical because of some of the rap I listen to but Prince Ea is 100x more creative than this clown
-Talib Kweli slaughtered it like I thought he would. Best verse of the night. The last line was kinda corny but it sounded good at the time and the crowd went crazy so it worked

Talib Kweli > * > whatever the other dudes name was

-I had never listened to Joey Badass before, but I knew he had a lot of hype so I was expecting a lot but he let me down big time. His flow was all over the place, he seemed really nervous, lyrics weren't very good. He's way too young to be good atm
-I called that Driicky Graham would be dope. He killed it. And I know he's a swag rapper and it was kind of annoying at time but he stilled showed that he has a lot more skill than any other rapper of that style.
-Childish Gambino was great until the end when he went off on that tangent about nothing
-ASAP Rocky was also someone I had never listened to and but knew had hype who also let me down. Dude was absolutely terrible

Driicky Graham >Childish Gambino > *

-DMX was wack, he just is on legendary status and has a legendary voice
-Cassidy was dope as always, he needs to come back into the rap game
-Murda Mook did as good as he could, he'll just never be anything other than a battle rapper

Cassidy > Mook > *

There you go fellas. The other 3 cyphers were embarrassing and hard to watch

40 Water 4 life doe
