Video: BET Hip-Hop Award 2012 Cyphers

Last night was the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards and the highlight each year are the rap cyphers where BET handpicks a group of emcees to get together and spit some bars in traditional Hip-Hop fashion with DJ Premiere supplying the breaks.

This year saw cyphers with legends like Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli, Mystikal, E-40,  Jean Grae and more get in the cypher with budding young artists like Mac Miller, ScHoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, Hopsin, Joey Bada$$ and Childish Gambino with an extra special Ruff Ryders cypher as well as a Grand Hustle cypher at the end.

Up top is the West Coast Cypher with Snoop, E-40, Xzibit, YG, Kurupt, E-40, DJ Quik, and Kendrick Lamar. Check out the rest of the cyphers below.
