The ever popular cyphers from the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards aired last night (October 12) after they were taped on October 3 in Atlanta, Georgia. Among the highlights include the public welcome of latest G.O.O.D Music artist CyHi Da Prynce, joined by fellow summer signing Pusha T and the existing family of Common, Big Sean and label founder Kanye West.
Another thematic cypher took place in the form of father-and-son duos Reverend Run and Diggy Simmons, joined by Ice Cube and his son OMG. Cube and Run, both 1980s Hip Hop pioneers were joined by their sons, who have recently pursued the family trade, with Diggy signing to Atlantic Records.
Also involved were veterans such as Raekwon, Royce Da 5’9″, and D12’s Kuniva, all joined by buzzing younger acts including Yelawolf, Mickey Factz and Young Money’s Tyga.
The 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards Cyphers are posted below:
Kanye West x Pusha T x Big Sean x CyHi Da Prynce x Common
Raekwon x Bones Brigante x Wiz Khalifa x Yelawolf
Tyga x Kuniva x Diamond x Royce Da 5′9″
Rev Run with Diggy x JoJo x Ice Cube with OMG x Doughboy
Reek Da Villain x Zawcain x Mickey Factz
just holy fuck at GOOD music
Rev Run with Diggy, JoJo, Ice Cube with OMG and Doughboy killed it.
Def the best performance of the whole show! Diddy f’d up Ross’ bmf. I’m feeling some Flocka right now..BUT he was a hot mess!!
G.O.O.D. music was the best by far – Kanye! But Diggy killed his 8 bars and Royce, as always, was nice!
truly the best moments of the show…would have like to see a full ladies session though – MY MIC SOUNDS NICE!
ROYCE MURDERED IT
To Me GOOD Music had the Best Overall Cypher, because Kanye West and Big Sean Went Crazy with the flow! The Family Cypher was good with Cube and OMG goin in, and Diggy killed his Bars, and JoJo even held his own and the Rev did his thang. Then Bones, Yelowulf and Tyga also ripped they bars, and The Music Matters Cypher was good too!
Why is it that BET can have these cyphers, but none of their music or videos are never played on BET?
They have Raekwon in a cypher, CuBan Linx 2 a classic that was never played on BET.
I know these dudes want the exposure, but dont be guinea pigs. Rappers need to say that if you dont play my music on your station, dont want me for a cypher?
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A STAND SOMETIME
Thank you for only highlighting the cyphers, other than that the ‘awards’ was a waste of time. kayne and his good music killed it
first time hearing a few of these new cats spit cats dope bringing that real hip hop back. Respect.
Only Yelawolf, Royce, and Rev Run spit off the top, I guess no one else felt like freestyling. Big Sean went in though, I didn’t know he was that nice.
Actually get ya knowledge up a freestyle doesnt mean just a verse off the dome it means a verse that doesnt have a certain subject just flossin type shit and Royce Run and OMG bodied that shit
Dude, No One, and I repeat NO ONE came off the top. Everbody had written lyrics. that’s why it’s called the cypha and not the freestyle cirlce..
Freestyle rap has only 1 definition :which are improvised through acapella or , i.e. performed with no previously composed lyrics, or “off the top of the head”
da phuk u know about any of this ish? yelawolf?! fukupouttahere!
Is it me or were DA HELL IS VADO!!!!! in this Cypher Huhnnn!
GOOD music killed it. They made everyone look like amateurs. I love that Pusha is finally getting some much deserved exposure. Diggy gets better and better. Loved Yelawolf and Royce. Everone else kind of had the same style and flow.
G.O.O.D. music killed that shit straight up! Big Sean a beast and kanye almost broke down near the end of his shit ,. he a true hip hop fan , watch him smilin in the back ground when each dude had their go. Pusha T so crazy in a cyper, reminds me of grindin. just dope
How can people say Kanye was the best? His flow sucks, lyrics are mediocre. Definitely others that was way better. Rae, Royce, Rev Run, Cube …
Get of the horse.
lol,Rae,Rev, and Cube did better than Kanye,Kanye is the dude thats keepin hiphop alive and Creative and Exciting,so respect the dude,quit hatin.
Kanye was far from best though, I don’t care what he’s doing to hip-hop today, guys were still better than him in many ways.
Fact. He’s a good producer, not rapper.
never fucked wit kanye, nor will i ever…..Raekwon was godfather of that shit hands down..
How can you love good music and hate on G.O.O.D. Music?
i just love R&B rhymes and beats. first off that girl is so hot but she aint that good this time round. the legens and there sons where good diggy was fuckign fantastic. reek da villain took the first one incredible. wish busta give it tho. royce showed class as always. kuniva not bad tyga wow cant even say how bad he is. they where all good in the other sessions yelawolf doing well and kalifa even though i dont like him. but props to kanye and pusha t on the final session it was fantastic. royce was beastly
Royce,Diggy, all of GOOD Music was tight,Raekwon is lame and dude and wu swear that they are Tight, they the most overated people in Hiphop period
You must be a fuckin idiot to call Wu the most overated people in hip hop and then shout out Diggy in your comment… your a fuckin joke Wu is LEGENDARY and if u disagree u aint done ur research check the classics, 36 Chambers, OB4CL, Luquid Swords, Tical. Track record speaks for itself
this guy is a fuckin idiot…..lame???? really mothafucka…..u obviously dont know shit about music….u gotta have soulja boy on ur ipod faggot….
ironman…supreme clientele OB4CL1 & 2….36….forever….the list goes on and on….
b4 u make an ignorant comment do ur research dumb fuck…
Respect WU! Best group of alltime,B. The Gawd paid homage to Decks ole earth.
wu overrated??!! hey dickhead, u was born in 1997…do us all a favor…stfu
the cyphers was the only thing i watch. im pretty sure the awards was wack x4
Couple of those GOOD music dudes were straight for the most part i thought the cyphers was kinda weak.
A lot of punchlines were kinda corny..
REV RUN WAS THE BEST IN THE CYHPER
STUNNIN , CUNNIN , RUN BE RUNNIN THIS ART “
should of had like vado, joell ortiz or someone like roc marciano up in there. This year was weak compared to last year. Good music camp had the best session for sure
Vado went in wit fonzworth and VADO type in fonzworh bently cypher they didn’t show it for some reason
I guess these cyphers were alright for a bunch of mainstream artists who are mediocre when it comes to spittin. If people really wanted to hear some next-level lyrical shit they should have had cats like eLZhi, crooked i, r.a. the rugged man, and the legendary Kool G.
Bothin even worth watching from the looks of it………. And Last years cyphers were so dope to, *Shrugs*
I’ll Youtube the one with Royce in it
Catfish Billy. that’s all I got to say. Oh and Roll Tide mutha fuckas.
royce/bigsean/reek/yeezy/diggy killed it. every one else was wack in my eye’s i got a.d.d. just making words rhyme.
Royce killed that shit!!! and Reek too…everyone was nasty but cant touch Royce!! Em woulda destroyed them lol….
that was such an ill idea props to whoever came up wit it

i agree with everything you said,, G.O.O.D music is gearing up to drop SOME REAL CLASSIC SHIT
aaaaaawwwww first thing i saw busta rhymes and then he didnt even rhyme
cypher is my favourite thing..
but i like those real famous rappers get back to the roots on cypher..
not too many this time
GOOD Music smdh… They all went in except Common he did ard..Like i been sayin since the uknowbigsean mixtape back in ’08 dis nigga deserve more airplay he be rippin shyt…cyHi iz a beast ima have 2 download his mixtape…wiz iz ard..tyga ard..diggy gon be a star..an jojo did good 2…FUCK DIPSET!!!expect juelz…
These Niggaz Aint Fucking With The Batman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvktUsUL6G0
royce, rae, common and pusha were the nicest.
it’s pretty lame that you can tell most of those weren’t freestyles. at least cube fuckin freestyled.
In No Order, Mickey Factz, Rev Run, Kuniva, Bones, Yelawolf and all of the G.O.O.D. Music squad had dope flows. Rev Runs Son’s sounded like they’re shit was dubbed over.
i think busta rhymes crew killed it..
royce da 59 killed that shit too…
i feel that kanya coulda been better,, idk why.. and so couldd ice cube.
big sean KILLED THAT!!!
pusha did his thang,, kanye coulda been better and common also..
OMFG AND WHERE IS BANKS????
HUH HUSTLER OF THE YEAR LLOYD BAnks should be on this fucking shit wtf
I gotta baby cannon on my bigger than the one Mariah got in her stomache.
DAMN
Cyphers were cool. Honey Dip in Cypher 3 is cool but she needs to change her name. I thought it was going to be Diamond as in Diamond D not some chick.
Part of Kanye’s freestyle was from his freestyle at Kid Cudi’s concert. Nevertheless, GOOD Music killed this shit.
Wooooowwww….
Veterans and youngn’s together.. a thing of beauty
the awards are always wack as fuckk,,, the cypher is a great idea and the best thing about b.e.t since rap city the basement.. but thats my point of view….
diggy=tight he is dope i fucks with him.
rev run=he was ssayin some sick shit i love how he still has it, and was better the ice cube.
royce=of course he is gonna kill it!! he is underrated smdh
G.O.O.D music= was magical hah exccept common..
them niggas with busta ryhmes went in hard..
but WHERE IS LLOYD BANKS!!!!!!!!
i would of had, lloyd banks,,, kanye, J COLe, cudi, GFk (ghost face killah for u dumb fucks), T.I if he wasn’t being dumb with the drugs and shit,Drake (only cause i wanna see him fail at freestyling) FABOLOUS, the game, JAY-Z ( since he is the so called king of hip hop nigga can show some love to the art) LUPE, LUDA,METHOD MAN, ANDRE 3000, big boi,and fifty cent…..TELL meTHATS NOT A GREAT GROUP OF RAPPERS!!!
LMAO @ the Drake comment. I can just picture him reading off his Blackberry, Primo cutting off the music and everyone escorting him out of the cypher.
ummmm lmao ur funny…jus wanna say that HOV most certainly has respect 4 the art form thats evident, thats why he does it! DUDE is just fuckin nice! he would eat a cypher alive, and hopefully one year he does get on it
Royce’s crew hands down
I didnt feel the Cypher much this year, most them are overrated or just straight hot garbage. How Crooked I hasnt been in any of these Cyphers yet is just embarrassing.
Royce killed it overall
Royce’s verse OBVIOUSLY went over peoples head u could tell from crowd reaction..Go listen to that verse fam…Ridiculous.
1.Royce
2.Big Sean
3.Diggy (I think?)
Then everyone else
ALL THESE DUDES ARE WACK SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH WIZ KHALIFA SUCKS THIS DUDE IS SPITTIN A VERSE FRM A SONG. YELAWOLF IS THE BEST HANDS DWN NIGGAS JUDGE HIM BKUZ OF HIS SKIN COLOR BUT HE KILLED EVERY SINGLE PERSON FUCK EMINEM ASHER ROTH ITS YELA TIME
Anybody count how many detroit Mcs were in this shit? What i tell you niggas.
Royce, Kuniva, Big Sean, Reek, Mikey Factz, OMG, Diggy, Bones & Yelawolf… Thats it….Nobody was actually “freestyling”. But those guys went in. Everybody else kicked FastFoward flows….LOL
G.O.O.D. Music did it all
– tyga says “unh” when he cant think of shit and everybody else wasnt even amusing. especially since wiz spit a verse of his tape WOW
G.O.O.D. Music went in! I’m expecting some fucking classic albums from them
Royce, Kanye, Run. Thats it. In Common’s defence, he isnt suited for this kinda rap tho, hes never been raw, more soulful. But yeah Run surprised me, he still got it.
I’m sorry, but despite the great performances from Diggy, Royce 5’9, and Pusha T…this years Cyphers don’t have shit on last years (remember Eminem, Black Thought, Mos Def, Joe Budden, a lyrical Nicki Minaj, etc from last year’s cypher? If you don’t, I heavily suggest you google that shit!)
Nicki is still lyrical, stop being a DX drone.
Nicki Minaj was never lyrical, stop being a Young Money dickrider.
This is coming from a fan…..Reakwon was straight ass!
And what was Busta Rhymes purpose?
Raekwon a monster….everybody else….ehhh…never listen to kanye…wix kalifa boring…royce was good…that bout it…shoulda brought ghost too
Are u serious? You are obviously a biased Wu fan…. Nuthin is better than Wu,right? ..wrong. Look,I respect raekwon,but he was weak on this.
Man, Rae get respect cus he’s an icon, he aint saying nothing special no time soon
1.Yelawolf
2.Wiz
CyHi Da Prynce looks like a lil version of KOOl G LMAO
Man..Nas should have been on here. Would’ve been d-o-p-e.
Forgot to add: Come on Busta.
ok take “money references” and “I’ll take ya girl” lines away from the new cats, and what do ya have???? NADA!!!
You are the prime example of someone who NADA about hip-hop. Get lost!
the cypher was ok nothing just blew me, but people gonna say he sound like em ,but next year give me crooked i or joell and skillz and ra digga and the mikes will be broken
joell did the 1st year. He was spittin with Ras Kass, Cassidy and some chick

Rev run had the best but it was def rehearsed, so i give it to Ice Cube.
Big Sean dude int the one with kanye was dope
and that chick Diamond in the one with Royce had some ill lines, like” you wonder why im so arrogant because im a mouse in a room full of elephants” “I got that gohnorrea flow that shit burns you”
50 wouldaa been ill,
************Dras Higher than the Stars (NOTMIX/NOTMASTER) Snipt************
http://rapidshare.com/files/424936705/11_Higher_Than_The_Stars_7.0.mp3
GOOD music was ridiculous! I think majority of them came off the top. Common definitely was.
Yelawolf killed it.
Royce always kills it.
Rev was cool with the classic deliver,but rehearsed.
The rest were just, bla…. nuthin unique.
wat u talkin bout Bones killed it……
Dang! Why all y’all sleepin on Yelawolf? He straight massacred his section of the cypher! Everybody came hard on this one. But G.O.O.D. Music is straight shittin on the game though. Great to see all the rookies on this one, it truly shows that Hip-Hop is still alive.
rigjt about yelawolf
Hold the fuck up though, where is J. Cole????

The Simmons fam has crazy talent
last years was better.
oh and i forgot to add that rev run put all of them to shame. including ice cube
1st one was cyhi da prince .. he fukin killd
2nd one was a tied .. rkwon n yelawolf.. killd
3rd shady fam royce n kuniva
4th man whoever pikd diggy over cube is absent minded ..hands dwn cube than rev than diggy thats all .. omg dissapointed me he shud of came lil harder rev there or not . its hip hop .. doughboi n jojo jus there lol
alot of ppl sayin that cube could have came harder but he actually freestyled rev ripped dat shyt but rehearsed
they’re all rehearsed dumbshits
what? fucking bones killed that shit.yelawolf was wack as shit,wiz is ill as shit,and rae is rae. always on point. it’s all about the bars not no fucking nonsense like wolf was saying. it’s a freestyle, not a gibberish session
this freestyle with run and cube’s sons give me hope for hip hop. diggy was ill as shit.better than jojo. both of cube’s sons was fire but omg was better by a little and run straight rippin it at the end and throwin up the deuces. took me back. gave me fucking chills. heard the awards show was actually good this year
i make ya team transform like shia labouf-royce is a muthafuckin animal yo. and kuniva is a beast.diamond was wack as shit, tyga flow was good but the bars was weak. people need to listen to everything instead of one thing in the freestyle
if you take out rev run’s and raekwon’s cyphers it would of been good, but it’ll never beat last year
i go with big sean and common on this one. big sean had the flow, the witty bars and poise. that’s an mc. cyhi was good but the bars lacked a punch to them. kanye was decent, pusha t was ill, and common did it like he do. just intelligent rhyming
Ol’ boy ZAWCAIN killed his session on Cypher! When u ever heard a man wit flows like dis comin from the lost but always found EL PASO, TEXAS huh?! Shit big uPs Zawcain u doin yo thing.. . . reppin the 915 $Life!
all wack except Royce & Ice Cube
best line, i burn more rappers than Kat Stacks hahahhahahahahahhaahhahahah!
I like Rav Run’s verse he killed it even though people say it’s rehearsed it’s still FIRE Diggy was ill, Jojo did his thing, Cube alwyas come hard,Common Genius,Mr. West flawless,Pusha T was ill too,Raekwon had the best overall though
its all rehearsed and that fact Rev Run would even rap was cool
2011 BET CYPHER MUST INCLUDE !! J.COLE, VADO, DRIZZY, JOEL ORTIZ ,NICKELUS F ,FABOLOUS
AND JAY ELECTRONICA!!!
Wheres the love for Bones Brigante he dropped a insane verse, best out of all these niggas. Yelawolf, Common,Big Sean, Pusha T, Royce (second best), OMG, Ice CUbe, Diggy, Rev Run, Reek, and Zawcain ALL killed it. Some of these less known niggas arent getting any love.
jcole outshines all them dudes in the rookie section
hadnt heard big sean before and dude is niceee but this CyHi dude surprised the heck out of me, that man had the best verse on all the cyphas
Check out the cyphers this is the best thing BET does.
If not what is ?
so this how this shit went:
the G.O.O.D music cypher was the best overall
individually:
diggy surprised me..he did better than jojo(not surprising) even though jojo did better than i thought he would
the duded bones was dope ive never heard of him till them but i am now looking
same goes for the cyHi dude..he was spittin knowledge
Royce killed is shit..almost as good as joe budden did last year
the dude kuniva and reek da villian had punchlines
everyone else was average except for diamond who was VERY UNENTHUSIASTIC and wiz for recylcing verses..he said the same shit in a song called “this plane” that he made a year ago…smh
Damn damn damn that whole GOOD Music set was insane! My man Royce went in, Yelawolf I been telling heads to check for the Alabama boy goes in…Wiz was on point and I never heard of Bones Brigante but he came off hard too
Royce, G.O.O.D music and Yelawolf didn’t disappointment me, Wiz was okay, Diamond was good, the rest, especially Raekwon, disappointed.
Felt like Slaughterhouse, like G.O.O.D music, should have gotten a whole cypher to themselves. Joell, Crooked and Joe along with Royce would have put everyone else to shame.

WIZ WE ALL KNOW THAT VERSE IS ON HOW FLY
THATS SOME SQUARE ISH
http://www.reverbnation.com/#/legitfigurez
funny how the article mentions father-son duos. cube x OMG…..run x diggy (no jojo?)
hahahaahaha.
Biggest disapointment: WIZ and that old ass verse
GOOD Music shut it down!!!
That was classic, Rev.Run and Sons, did the dame thing, Ice Cube could have left the curses home though, but he would.nt be Cube if he did’nt.
i thin Royce had the best verse from the Cypher
this shit was ill idea. they betta do that shit every year with new and different mcs.
