BET Hip Hop Cyphers & Tribute [VIDEO]
I admit, I didn't sit down and watch the BET Hip Hop Awards last night. (I was busy making money). But today I obtained footage from the most important parts, the Violator tribute to Chris Lighty and the rap cyphers! Tune in and rate the freestyle sessions from Rough Ryders, The West Coast, ASAP Rocky & Company and Grand Hustle Pimp!
When I announced that the founder of Violator Management Chris Lighty had passed away, I got about 10 calls asking "who is that"? After watching this emotional performance, maybe now you'll understand what a profound impact his life (and death) had on the Hip Hop community.
And now onto the Cyphers. Watch them all and then vote for your favorite.
First up, Grand Hustle camp. Check out Iggy looking like Paris Hilton! If this was a battle, T.I wins this round hands down
Up Next, The West Coast crew including Xhibit, E-40 and Snoop Lion
Truth School - "Veterans getting better every year" - AB Soul spittin #KnowThyself Knowledge @2:22

And last but certainly not least, it;s the Double R Beast from the East - Rough Ryders!! Eve, DMX but where's Jadakiss?
