BET HipHop Awards Cipher #1: Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, CrownRoyale
Posted by Miss Info under concerts , crony-ism , quotes , things I like , videos[58] Comments
Loved this clip, these ciphers are always one of the highlights of the HipHopAwards. (Along with the hilarious fashion faux-pas of the main show) (thanks to Dre for the quick rip)
Here’s a couple of the instant reactions from the twitter-verse…

Nicki Minaj facial expressions kill me softly…You saw the 5 star chick video? She is nice though. She could eat some dudes!

Thanks Joe… Serena Will line was nice. But Nicki, Wayne and Drake all use that syncopated ‘Yeah’ after the line is dropped. Who cares?

She do, but she raps like if Drake and Wayne made love and had a baby. And she was that baby. All I ask is be original and creative with your flow.

What can we say about “Ken Budden” that hasn’t already been said. The refreshing thing to see what that Nicki Minaj spazzed on this. Could have done without her robotic movements from her but I was sincerely happy to see some female represention in the cipher. Throwing shots at Jigga…we off that!

Budden should of been in the cipher wiht EM and my man from the roots. Off skill alone. Nicki came a long way from the come up dvds wih fendi but the robotic shit is killing me lol

I watched Nicki’s part like 3 times, don’t know why but it made me smile.
Joe killed it as usual he takes top gun.
Nice!!

SMH @ Drake…..clearly Young Money?Cash Money is a lil bias on who they think is “the best”
Anyway, if Joey just did THAT and not webisode soap operas he wouldn’t need Nicki to boost his Twitter follows.

I love Nicki…she’s so animated and live. That was her cipha.
I also love Joe…I have all the Mood Muziks and I support the Slaughterhouse move to Shady Aftermath (yay Royce!) but he took shots at Jay.
COME ON JOE! Taking shots at Jay is like complaining about the weather…NO ONE CARES. It’s to the point that taking shots at Jay just makes the other person (YOU, Joe) look lame.

I wish nicki minaj got a Tracheotomy that ended with nerve damage & she loses her voice so she can just freestyle in sign language. Her voice makes me wish i was deaf.

Joe Budden killing it is no surprise. Alot of people focus on everything but the music, but the fact of the matter is Joe Budden is NICE!! He’s one hell of an MC. I will admit Nikki took 2nd best verse for me, but only cuz the other 2 didn’t seem like they tried.

Who said Joe took shots at Jay…? Y’all are all just jumping to conclusions. He could be talkin about anybody.
But Joe did rip the cypher somethin vicious.

I assumed he was talking about Wu. Whatever, why do people get so emotional over what rapper A says about rapper B?

This is what I’m saying. The shit he was saying (except for the OG’s mad/student of the game line, which was Rae reference, not a shot) was just generic stuff. It had nothing to do with Jay.

Are you kidding? Joey damn near dumped a whole clip on Hov:
top back, top cats get a beating,
saying you the best, just stop it, its misleading,
‘cuz i might cock back to get even,
it’s not a wet dream, you just getting shot at while you sleeping…
wanna play, it ain’t worth it,
maybe why I’m feeling like, “Yeah, you probably won an award, but you ain’t deserve it”…
you past your prime, I ain’t spit Ether yet
you need a major, I just need a Ethernet.
Were you even listening?

I was listening. Were you comprehending?
top cats get a beating…/shot at while you sleeping… is generic.
It’s actually I’m feeling like (Kan)Ye “you probably won the award…” What award did Jay win that he would be refering to if they recorded the cypher prior to the awards? Again, generic.
Ether yet/You need a major…Ethernet. What major does Jay need? He just bought his own damn album cleary showing he doesn’t need a major!! How does that apply to him at all?
Joe calls himself the best rapper in the world wide web. An ethernet connection connects you to the web. Ether is apart of the Hip Hop lexicon now. I have a rhyme with ether in it too; am I taking shots a Jay?
At this point, anything Joe says will get over-analyzed. Sometimes a dope line is just a dope line. Ultimately, I don’t know what goes through Joes head, but if this was a court of law, that “evidence” would be thrown out as hearsay.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Nicki actually killed it. Not a big fan, but have to give credit where credit is due. Budden was sick wit it.

*sigh* Not this shit again. Remy Ma doesn’t freestyle. The only one that freestyled in all of these cyphers was KRS. Freestyling is not required in a cypher. You showcase your talent in a cypher period. If you can freestyle and you’re amazing at it, you do it. If you can’t freestyle and you’re an amazing writer, you do it. It’s as simple as that.
