For the 10th straight year, the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards solidified their presence of being the authority for current honorees in the rap community.
And like always, the round of cyphers was the biggest draw as several of today’s stars and OGs teamed up for some informal competition. With everything that’s going on in the country, a lot of the statements were created to be political, while some MCs just flossed in their artistry. All in all, it was an incredible display of unique lyricism across the board.
Uncle Snoop Dogg is not some “bitter, old rapper who’s mad because the young MCs is having it” and you shouldn’t be either.
Without further ado, here are the most engaging, exciting and flat-out best punchlines from the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards lyrics.
“Been with the shits/I was raised for the revolution/Because I’m a Black Panther like Cam Newton” — Consequence

“So post this on your ‘Gram or Snap/’Cause like Usain, I can’t be beaten on the track” — Consequence
“A black person can not be a racist, so let’s recite the tendencies/Racism is an institution, created by the lies that hide in white supremacy” — Locksmith
“I like a face like Rihanna/A body like Trina/And she call my d!ck ‘Martin’/I put it in her va-Gina” – Kent Jones
“We gotta bring the rap game back/’Cause all I see is colorful dread-heads that can’t rap” — John John Da Don

“Now it’s time to drop the window, slime/Toss out your demo, I ain’t even like your intro, slime” – Lil Wayne

Are lil Wayne’s punchlines going over my head? Is there a hidden meaning? Or are they are wack as they seem?

To me, Dougie Fresh Beatbox cypher from last year is the best BET Hip Hop cypher ever.
Wow. These lines mostly suck. And that Licksmith line is racist as fuck. Smh.
this site must really love drake!! the chick that spat the ghostwriter line n a shout out to drake ain’t included..Dame!!
Thats not Young MA in that pic. Thats Snoop from The Wire. All studs dont look that much alike.
Thats because they were showing Bre-Z in the pic….not Young MA….irony…
These lines prove that hiphop is dead, or these were the only punchlines the writer of the article understood
I think so
maybe it what he/she could process
wheres is token ? he had the best cypher innthe bet !!
The cyphers were good. It’s ironic that some of these artists freestyles are way better than songs they make.
This shit is a reach … “I like a face like Rihanna/A body like Trina/And she call my d!ck ‘Martin’/I put it in her va-Gina” – Kent Jones
