Shady Cypher 2.0

Posted on by

Here’s the actual uncut video of the Shady 2.0 cypher from the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards.

No joke, this was the most fun awards show I have watched in a long time. They kept the show moving with great performances: Young Jeezy and TI, DMX, Lupe, Big Sean and Roscoe Dash and closed the show with old school legend, Heavy D. They worked in 8 minute freestyle cyphers featuring different “crews” from all over the country. Even Chris Brown took time out of smacking bitches to flow. And of course they saved the best for last.

Here’s Eminem and company proving that a white, 38 year-old is still the one of the goats.

And speaking of goats, LL Cool J was honored and he read one of the greatest acceptances speeches (raps) of all time. OK, enough hyperbole. I am getting sleepy. Watch the video…and the throne.

Skillz aka Mad Skillz aka @skillzva has easily become one of my favorite tweeters. He doesn’t hold back. His tweets are just as raw as his freestyles and punchlines.

Skillz has been ghostwriting for most of the biggest stars in hip hop for much of this decade. In 2004, he wound up in mixtape beef with the big Fu Schnicken, Shaqtus Diesel . At the end of every year, Skillz drops his “rap up” freestyle, recapping the years biggest events.
