I never knew Donald glover and childish gambino was the same person a comedian slash rapper that’s a first
meh shit was boring and shouldve changed the beat up or something. only one with replay value was Trae
Talib killed it!!!
“No one in this cyph has swag like I do”
Gambino killed it.
AB SOUL KILLED IT!!! HONESTLY, that’s the only person I was looking forward to. Dope shit.
@Dashboard
Have you been living under a rock?
kinda disappointed in these..
….. Im Frank Ocean at a chick-felet, Ill never get served! Funny shit!
wat about the cassidy and dmx cypher
haha they dont let the youngins sit at the table in the west coast one
Gambino >>>>> anyone else in the cyhpher
shouts to this dumb nigga @dev for saying Trae was the only one with replay value hahahahahahhahahahahah
A$AP spat the worst verse by far. Dude is beyond medicore.
Anyone see A$AP’s face after Childish finished. He gave a face as if he was saying,”That was corny.” 3:49
YAWN, thoes cyphers made me sleepy
Ab-Soul, Gambino, Kendrick, Hopsin, Sarkodie, and, as much as I hate to admit it, Mac Miller, all had great verses!
All autoplay? Why though?
right what happened to the ruff ryders cypher??
Gambino a beast!!!
ah, yes, right on time
@Austin i seen that lolol rocky mad he had the best verse
when xzibit dissed frank ocean for being gay the little respect I had for him was completely lost
DMX!!!!
FUCKING UNDERWHELMING!!. Yawn. Cassidy, Childish Gambino, and Talib were the only ones that stuck out and none of them could even hold a torch to the Shady Cypher last year. I hate rap more and more , it’s really dying.
i was just lookin at eve’s sexy legs
@bigErn that was Talib Kweli
Who the fuck are Angel Haze and Dricky Graham?? They were both wack as hell, and I’ve never heard of them. Lol
@bigErn … and that wasn’t a diss…
Soulo, Ho! And for the longest, I wanted a Angel Haze/Gambino track, then she gon post a pic of them on Facebook. -_-
*The Man With the Iron Fists Cypher*
Ayo… let’s be honest Driicky Graham surprised the hell out of ya’ll niggas… just like me. I’m not saying he spit fire but I will say I expected trash. But Joey won that cypher. Childish takes second.
*Ruff Ryders Cypher*
DMX conquered… especially when he started sniffing the air hahah.
*Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, Ab-Soul and Sarkodie*
They were all decent, I was proud (and honestly a bit surprised) Ab-Soul held his own actually.
*Mac Miller, Mystikal, ScHoolboy Q, Hopsin and Sprite Hot 16 Winner Jay Bird the Purdi Boi*
Mac Miller was cool. Mystikal won this one. WHAT THE FUCK was Schoolboy Q doing!? Nigga was sleeping while reciting his shit honestly. Put some heart into it cause I know he can go harder. Jay Bird and Hopsin held their own.
*West Coast Cypher (Xzibit, YG, Kurupt, E-40, DJ Quik, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg)*
See what I loved about this cypher is technically no one dominated. They were all so unique that really you can’t say one was better than the other. Great balance of old vs. new as well. Shit… even YG held his own.
Man dat nigga jaybird had the wackest vers ever
(dopest in order)
iron fist cypher: childish, a$ap, joey, driicky, angel haze
ruff ryders cypher: dmx, cassidy, eve, mook
3rd cypher: talib, ab-soul, jean grae, sarkodie

Yo why do these BET videos just start fuckin playin without me starting it?? Shits annoying af gettin like 5 videos goin at once BITCH I DECIDE WHEN IM GONNA PLAY THAT SHIT
ScHoolboy Q on those StruggleBars
Why ain’t the Grand Hustle up?
how did xzibit diss frank ocean!?
How do some many people sleep on Cassidy… dudes got punchlines for days
Why y’all saying ScHoolboy didn’t rip it? Kidding yourselves with that one.
i was gonna comment on the verses…
then i saw @bigErn’s comment
i refuse to add my opinion and be included with that foolery.
getcha rapper right foo
TRBL
Cassidy, Kweli, Ab Soul, Gambino, and the dude Driiky had the best verses. B.O.B and T.I.P, Kendrick and Jean were cool.
And I liked Mac Miller as well. Thought he did his thing. And Hopsin surprised me a little.
check out my favorites from the cypher. see if you agree. misfitminded.blogspot.com
@ThaHustla because all he has is punch lines gets annoying after a while. every other line he has in his song is a “Like” or “as” im not denying hes good im just saying his flow will never change he just keeps riding on them punch lines
Talib Kweli & Kendrick Lamar gave it justice tonight.
Big up to Rocky for the Affirmative Action/Cormega nod in the beginning of his verse. Joey was dope, I think I’ve heard that verse before though. Angel was meh. Everyone in the WestCoast cypher held their own, big up to Quik! Wtf was up with Ruff Ryders? Murda Mook, really? I’ma shout out Cassidy though. Jaybird need to button up. I liked Mac though, shout out to Lord Finesse ha! Femcee is not a word! Jeanie!
E-40 Killed it!! The Whole West Coast Cypher (Minus YG), Ab-Soul,Hopsin, SchoolBoyQ, Mystikal!!!, DMX, Cassidy, Mook
Shake we need those dl links for these dude!
currency was wack as fuck! couldnt bare to even watch.
fuck the bull shit! Gambino had the best verse then Badass, Talib, Kendrick, E-40, Ab-Soul
Upset that joey just done his verse from suspect. Where’s that fresh shit?
Cassidy killed ruff ryders cyph.
@hippaToDaHoppa
@koke
No. Xzibit dissed him on Twitter. All it takes is a simple google search to look that up.
@pop
Curren$y wasn’t in any of these ciphers, what you talking about? You mean Cassidy?
Curren$y was wack? He wasn’t even in this shit..
Very mediocre cyphers this year.. whether you hate him or love him, Mac Miller was def top 5 among everyone in this..
joey bada$$, cassidy, talib, kendrick, and e-40 were the only ones worth listening to
Mac Miller was mediocre as fuck in this. I don’t remember a single thing about his verse. And Jean Grae disappointed me.
West Coast cypher was ill though. X to the Z, Kurupt, E-40 and Kendrick ripped it.
Also liked DMX, Talib, Ab-Soul, Mystikal, ‘Bino, ScHoolboy.
Illest MCs in the cyphers: Jay Bird the Purdi Boi, Murda Mook and Angel Haze
Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, Childish Gambino, Talib, Jean Grae, Mac Miller, and Kendrick Lamar. That’s it.
soul kendrick and CG
@smarty mcsly
the comment was made on this page. why whould it be taken in any other cntext?
Talib, Gambino, K.Dot, E-40, Xzibit, Bada$$ & Mystikal (semi-disrespectful to put him in with those youngins, not that they were all bad or anything…) were the best…
West Coast cypher was dope… I love that Snoop and Kurupt were actually FREESTYLING..as in “off the head” rhyming. Freestyling is a lost art…
mp3 links?
the dmx cypher was better than his whole new album…or mixtape…or whatever the fuck it was supposed to be..also c’mon with the “i;ll murder you” references every song, every cypher , every year…
jesus. these cyphers are terrible. Ab-Soul disappointed. Kendrick disappointed. Schoolboy disappointed, CASSIDY DISAPPOINTED. Honestly Gambino had the best verse.
X went in…suprisingly
damn DMX needed a fake mic so he could rap. bet he didn’t know how to do it without
@you
word
tde cypher. thats all that was needed, n throw in bino n bada$$
Wait, people are still butthurt and actually took Xzibit’s tweet as a Frankie diss? The guy just hashtagged pause..
Joey Bada$$ killed it. Kendrick, Ab-Soul, Hopsin and Kweli stood out too. That Jaybird dude wasn’t good they shoulda picked someone else.
‘Bino.
He on BET and he got white people problems
Like… Whole foods doesn’t have the juice I like so I have to go to, you know… Trader Joe’s
And have it shipped to me
Victory, History
More G than a kid’s movie
Royalty
sarkodie killed it
