As I fast forwarded through the BET Hip-Hop Awards last night these cyphers were easily the highlights of the night.

Up top we have Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem. Ridiculous. I got goosebumps watching all three of these guys spit.

Below we have KRS-One, Wale, Nipsey Hussle and Gsan. Further down Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden (fuckin’ kills it), Buckshot and Crown Royyal.

The one and only DJ Premier on the 1s & 2s.

This is hip-hop people.
