The BET Hip-Hop Awards finally aired earlier tonight, and while I personally am not a huge fan of the show, there’s one segment that I eagerly anticipate every year: The Cyphers. The Cyphers are really where the event truly shines, bringing together some of the most talented emcees in the game, underground and mainstream. This year’s lineup is certainly a formidable one, featuring the likes of TDE, A$AP Mob, Slaughterhouse, Action Bronson, Travi$ Scott, Rittz, Jon Connor, and even some jokes courtesy of J.B. Smoove, Kevin Hart, and Nick Cannon. Check out the cyphers below, and let us know who you think went in the hardest (we’re guessing the popular answer will be Kendrick Lamar).
Top Dawg Entertainment (ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad, Kendrick Lamar)
A$AP Mob (A$AP Ferg, A$AP Twelvy, A$AP Nast, A$AP Ant, A$AP Rocky)
Slaughterhouse (Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce da 5’9″, Joe Budden)
Action Bronson, Starlife Breezy, Travi$ Scott, Tiffany Foxx, Lil Kim
Wax, Rapsody, Emis Killa, Rittz, Jon Connor
The Real Husbands of Hollywood (J.B. Smoove, Duane Martin, Boris Kodjoe, Nick Cannon, Nelly, Kevin Hart)
