Here’s the second freestyle set from the BET Hip Hop Awards. But we all know which one we’re waiting on…
OTHERS: Nicki Minaj x Joe Budden x Buckshot x Crown Royyal x DJ Premier (Video) | Eminem x Mos Def x Black Thought x DJ Premier (Video)
KRS-One x Wale x Nipsey Hu$$le x Gsan x DJ Premier (Video)
Hip Hop, Video
Nipsey killed that shit
JEAN GRAE > NICKI MINAJ
…
pause it at 3:15 to watch the happiest gang sign ever thrown!
Most female rappers > Nicki Minaj. Anyway.
KRS-One!!! He was the only one actually going off the dome and killed it on the real…
wales shit was wack until that last line…
wait its still wack, just the last line was tight.
“I put rappers down like the Nike sign, you gotta overstand, man, the Nike sign. Put the camera down so they can feel my rhyme.”
Niiiiceeeeeee
Krs killed that shit
KRS-One needs to stop.
Wale’s whole freestyle was sick
LOL Kareem you’re right… the happiest gang sign EVER thrown. Word… dude looks like it’s his 9th Birthday and the cake is coming his way…. still, he wasn’t that bad. They HAD to include at least ONE West Coast cat… but why him though?
No hating, but Pac Div > Everyone who were in this (2nd) cypher… yeah KRS-One is a legend and all, but Pac Div are better than him lyrically and delivery+flow-wise… wish those dudes were there. And it’s sad that in the other one Asher couldn’t come so they called wackass “i recycle wack verses and call em freestyles” Buckshot. Also sad that Rakim won’t be present during the 3rd Cipher.
Anyway, just one left… the most important one… so far, Joe Budden still had the best verse, let us sit back and watch how Mos Def, Black Thought AND Eminem all top that. Eminem will be on last, right? Good, he shuts shit down good (e.g. Forever). Shit’s nice this year.
BET is mad wack and all, but this is always amazing to see. They should have more shit like this, great camera work, best DJ’ing (Preemo you’re a beast) and just… the atmosphere man, true Hip Hop. The dude who rapped in his own language was cool in his own way too, and had truth in his lines yo.
Anyway, enough of me essay-typing, good looking 2DBZ for putting this up! Can’t wait for the 3rd one, 1
cuz KRS always flows off the top, stayin’ true to his fundamentals. wale didn’t do well cuz his flow was boring, he shoulda got more into it. disappointing. ANYONE GOT THE AUDIO RIPS OF THIS AND THE 1st CYPHER? I neeeeed these!
Gsan kills it!
We needed that dose of old school, thanks KRS.
Is it me or are the BET Awards getting progressively worse. I hope this wasn’t supposed to represent what Hip Hop is about. Stupid black people acting silly
KRS killed this mafakka
Too bad I seen the 3rd cipher a week ago..told yall Black Thought and Em kill it..even better than Buddens
Ciphers da only reason y I even watch the award show
mos def spit his verse over the brooklyn go hard beat months ago.. i totally recognized it when he started spitting it. rapped along as well lol
“Black yukon (uconn), know what the hell i mean (el-amin)?”
wale is crazy with the sports references.
KRS-ONE!!!!! 4get dat chart n get witcha art!!! THE BEST!!!
You remember the cypher with lupe, styles p and papoose, think of the 3rd cypher being 10000000000 times better than it
wale was dissapointing this nigga looked wired and tired ass hell that nigga should of took a nap before he did this cuz it made him look bad
this was the weakest it was cool though Nipsey & KRS came the hardest Wales was kinda dissoppointin but over cool couldnt follow Gsans though
Dat nigga Wale look mad as fuck in the backround
Wale is this year’s most overrated rapper. This guy was fuckin whispering the raps. He has no personality. He’s’ just some guy. Nipsey was OK considering. When they add some foreign rapper to jump in the freestyle, if the rapper has no personality to make up for the language barrier then it just sounds like a foreigner instead of a rapper. KRS wasn’t even goin in hard and he still outshined everyone there! This is obviously the weakest cypher cause we all know who is in the final cypher.
krs killed it
Take it back to BOOM BAP!!!
Can we get mp3 rips of these videos? Before they get taken down?
every1 was weak on this..
^^^Basically !! The performances are so corny !! They’re trying to rep for the new generation but you see where they lack in stage presence and
crowd control as well as spittin’ their verses fully. Jay-z, Luda,Snoop and Goodie were the only ones who spit straight up !! They need to recruit emcees who can hold a crowd, not just having a “hot” song or just a newer face.
wale in the background looked hungry like he was gonna kill it on some eminem 8 mile type shit then he spit that dissapointing rhyme
” You remember the cypher with lupe, styles p and papoose, think of the 3rd cypher being 10000000000 times better than it ”
cut your ears off please that cypher was ridiculous
This one goes out to the man
with his hand on his cannon
right at this moment
the malcolm is dead
the martin is dead
gun is the barber
let me know who want a part in they head

KRS killed that shit…………nike sign put the camera down man so they can feel my rhyme…..this nigga is crazy
omg…as always with wale….he throws out maaad sports references..you have to understand them though!!! …if you caught all those sports metaphors you would see…KRS OFF THE TOP!!! killed that ish
Wale’s flow was mad lazy here…but the el-amin UCONN reference was NASTY…UCONN STAND UP….RIP JASPER HOWARD….STRONG ISLAND STAND UPPP
WOW WALE looked like a lost boy, dudes is WHACKKKKK MAN.
big ups to tanzania!
too bad i don’t understand swahili though haha
I like how when Gsan spit
everybody nodded there head like he spit a god verse, when they can’t understand him
When Wale the only other african, and he “still faced” the entire show
also, if they can closed caption your freestyle, it wasn’t a freestyle*
*i didn’t see this on tv, so i don’t know if these were filmed live
gsan was the best hands down LOL
LOL at Wale’s face when Gsan spit
“I hate this mother**** he spit nicer than ME? I knew i should have gotten least 9 hours of sleep so i wouldn’t sound so dead this morning HOLD UP CAMERA MAN REDO REDO!”
Wale straight, people never catch the sports references he throw… It’s just over they head as quantity out-weighs quality nowadays… KRS killed it
Hard to get into Wale’s flow with seeming so bored.
Its called the ”BET Cypher” series….and so far, the only MC I seen actually freestyle (ya, that used to be what really happened in Cypher’s believe it or not) is KRS-ONE!! Kris lets all the young bucks go at it 1st, then he comes in and cleans up the mess!
lmao@ Gsan.
US immigration policies, FAIL.
WADUFUCK WAS DAT NIGGA SAYIN?
—a dying metaphor—
my man wale could have at least tried to act like he was into it, smh
im disappointed in my duude wale
that fact that krs one killed every one coming off the top shows how booboo everyone else spit. wale….after that verse….what the fucks a wale (dissapointing my motherland)
that nigga wale need to speak up. could barely hear him.
Everyone was dope but seems like only KRS was truly off the top
fuckin camera man! was he even listening to krs? that last line would have been even MORE effective if they ended it where he intended it to
im startin to go off Wale a bit. he drops too many names including his own too much :/
@ Boog.
Just listen to I’m a Champ; it’s the same verse. Sounds a lot more enthusiastic on there at least lol.
