Mos Def Black Thought Eminem BET Cypher 2009 + the rest
Easily the best of the Cyphers that dropped during the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Each MC came off and has a mean argument as to why they were the best. I say it’s a draw.*
The real winner is the random, bridge and tunnel looking white dude who got into like every shot. There he is, 2nd from the left in the pic below.
*I’m leaning towards Mos Def > Black Thought> Eminem

1st Place Winner => Black Thought
Runner Up > Eminem
3rd Place => Mos Def
Side note: I felt sorry for Joe Budden who had to “battle” with weak emcees in his cypher. I mean come on ‘Nicky Minaj’?
