    1. Drizzaveli got all those nominations and he ain’t even gonna rap in the cyphers? What the fuck are they thinking? #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife

      1. the cyphers are known to have real mc’s participating, not beat biters or those who jack others verses and try & pass them off as their own without giving recognition to the original artist. where’s the ghostwriter of the year award? [quentin miller] #drakeisfakedrakeiswack

      2. I’m very sure the others participating in the cyphers have bitten beats or verses before. It’s nothing new in hip hop. Get off your high horse. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife

    2. Do BET knows what a lyricists is, they got few people right and the rest are saying sh*t just to be saying sh*t. I don’t think I’ll be watching, BET hip hop awards usually is worst than MTV awards.

    3. Lin-Manuel Miranda???? I mean he’s sorta dope (haven’t heard him as a raw hip hop artist tho), but how/why did they add him to the circle?
