BET 2009 Hip Hop Awards Freestyle Cypher: Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden, Eminem, KRS 1

Sandra Rose October 28, 2009

Lady Scoop at Project Scoop says the cypher freestyles were the best part of the 2009 Hip Hop Awards. Yeah, they were nice but the freestyle is the raw essence of Hip Hop and these kids don’t know what a freestyle is.

Especially that Hydrogel injected fraud Nicki Minaj. I know her rhymes were pre-written. Who is she fooling? KRS and Joe Budden were the best in my opinion.

KRS One, Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Who

Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem

@east AGREED!

I was sitting in front of the screen like WOW EM!!! He reverted to Rabbit. LOL!
LovelyLady

Em and Nicki killed it

Nicki just needs to let those facial expressions go quick
Anna

I got bored with the show. I am not into hip hop but I sure miss Charles. His comment would have been something like this. Who still watches the Flip Flop Awards? LOL.
VAALLDAY

I agree w/ you Lovely Lady. Minaj is a beast.

yes this was the best part of the awards show, but why was it even called an award show when they only handed out like 3 awards? they should just called it a hip hop concert. i didnt know half of the people that were up on stage rappin :confused:

BUT I AGREE EM AND NICKI KILLED IT.
kcicero

Black Thought Philly Stand Up! lol third video was the best imo…
Dhoward1913

Yeah those freestyles were hot. Em was on point. I’m trying to decide about that Nicki chick, that voice is killing me!
BayArea

I can not stand watching Rap performed live. It sounds like GARBAGE. Only a few MC’s can deliver live. Only a few. Not feeling that Minaj chick….NEXT.
KayCeiSoul

@Lovely – she IS animated isn’t she? Looked just like a cute cartoon.
Kamini

I refused to watch the BET awards last night, but just took a look at the clips. KRS killed it…but I did like Nicki even though that was no freestyle.

I fell asleep after I saw Kid n Play. I almost lost it. The excitement wore me out. LOL

I am mad that I missed Ice Cube.
Daisy

Nicki was WACK

Em Mos Def and Black thought KILLED it! I did not see KRS1

Bring back real female MCs please and thank you
missy

I still can’t get the hype of this nicki chick I felt like it was just so predictable(I predicted every word that was coming out of her mouth)

I can’t talk about the rest because I can’t watch all now but I like Wale and Em so theirs were probably good.
Shauny

Our damn AT&T had our tv froze for more than half of the show so I didn’t even see it. Can’t give me .02 on the freestyles but a lot of people say Em killed it. I wonder if it’s his flow or his actual lyrics because they say that on the song with him,Kanye,Wayne, and Drake and I think Drake’s lyrics were tighter but Em’s flow was.

Krs-One performed?? Wow, I love Krs-One. RIP Scott La Rock.
Shauny

Daisy and Missy (disclaimer….and anyone else who wants to join in)…

My tv was froze for SYTYCD too. I only saw a few of the performances but I noticed that Russell and Ariana was in the bottom 4…I call BS ESPECIALLY FOR RUSSELL. Who went home?
kcicero

Bring back real female MCs please and thank you

kwall

Dear MC Lyte….if you reading the game needs you.

cause nicki suxs maja.

team marshall all day….

krishna (krs-one)…still one of the greatest whoever did it.
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

Mos Def performed? I am so glad I have the DVR set to record.
Shauny

I finally had to sit through that 5 star chick video and Nicki is a HOT MESS. She irks the chit out of me and her lyrics are not tight, I’m sorry. She makes herself look retarded with all of the animation chit.
Daisy

KC they do go somewhere they left the scene L Boogie lost her mind so I still pray for her

Shauny n Missy Brandon and Ariana went home and yes I was PISSED Russell was n the bottom! The dances were just ok last night anyway. Shauny I sent u a tweet lol if u wld rememba to check every blue moon lol
http://twitter.com/LaydeeJustice LadyJustice =)

TEAM NICKI! its barbie bishes
Shauny

shut up LadyJustice…I didn’t think she performed the hip hop badly. I thought she did a good job. Who was in the bottom with Russell? I can’t believe he was even in the bottom. That was bogus.

KRS, Em and Mos Def KILLED THAT!!! Real Hip Hop stand up!

I said the same thing about today rappers not knowing how to freestyle. I didn’t know Nicki was from Queens, NY.

I also think her rhyme was written b4 she rapped because she said a line about a cig and had some1 on the sideline witha cig ready for her to take from his hands how do you do that with a rhyme off the top of your head.

I love freestyle rapping. I remember when Ja Rule (when he was still a nobody in that group he was in) use to always come around the way and freestyle.
mirsmommy

KRS did kill it indeed. Buckshot is my dude. Can I get another Boot Camp Clik album? I love that song with Buckshot and KRS-1.

Mos Def, and Black Thought are definitely slept on. Joe Budden is hot. I can’t stand Eminem. IMO, he has a decent flow, but I can’t get into his lyrics. Maybe because I can’t stand him. :confused:

I like Nikki, but I can’t take listening to her voice for a long time.

Okay I’m done.
Shauny

sorry Daisy you know I’m still getting use to tweets…lol
I have to get in the habit of checking it like I check SR.

So the dude who took over for Billy is the one who left huh? That is wrong that he and Russell were in the bottom. I saw the part where they said Brandon had like a day and a half to learn the routine and Russell’s partner is the girl who is injured but he did the dance with the choreographer and still did good. They better not mess up this season.

shauny
i cant think of his name. lol he looked kinda asian. and i love ariana also, i though their routine was pretty good.
Ms.kaylamomma

Hey everyone, I’m new here. Been lurking for about 3 years. LOL!! Anyway, I have been fans (in my head) with “iscream” (got to get that book, waiting on my next check), “Charles” (BANNED!!, hasn’t he been banned like 400 times LOL!! I love him) “Shauny”, “Daisy” (I’m a Rihanna stan), “attorneymom”, “starr”, mostly everyone. Not trying to form cliques.

Now on to the BET Awards:

Kinda got boring after Kid and Play. I like Nicki but her facial expressions kill me. LOL!!! Gucci Mane is everywhere. Everyone else including Mike Epps: blah!
wiggy2272003

Yeah I liked all of it the show went downhill from there even my tne and twelve year olds were unimpressed( they are bornNraised atliens and usually stand up to me on the NY/ATL argument.I agree Em killed even though I don’t like his tone never have he is a lyrical beast tho
I didn’t think I would but I liked that Nikkis flow and voice. Agree w Kamini that was no freestyle. She definatly has potentional.
Love Krs-1, Ice Cube, Black Thought and Mos Def but always have.
bk2atl

@mirsmommy…if you can’t get another Boot Camp album, you can at least see Buckshot “perform” live on Franklin Avenue in BK on any given day. LOL!! Dude is still ’round da way.

Memo to: Monnie Love, Queen Latifah, Salt n Pepa, MC Lyte, Roxanne Shante, Yo-Yo, Lady Rage, Finesse and Sequence, Sparkie D, Isis (X-Clan) Mia X- Please please come back on the scene!! I can’t take these wack azz female rappers.
missy

@Shauny And Daisy(and anyone else)

didn’t watch last night but thanks for letting me know I’ll watch it later but I didn’t think it was fair for the judges to kick off people but I don’t remember Russel(is he the krumper if so i’m mad)or Arianna gonna search it up.
ReadTheBlog

Who is Nicki Manaj fooling? She sounds like a squeaky toy Lil Wayne.
http://twitter.com/LaydeeJustice LadyJustice =)

queen latifah released an album last month

and yes missy, russell is the krumper with the dreads. im rooting for him
Daisy

Shauny the show was dry overall to me but I liked Travis piece and dave scotts hip hop piece and the girl out danced Legacy she was working it but him not so much. Yes brandon who replaced Billy got the boot. Russell was good last night!
Shauny

missy Russell is the krumper and he DID HIS THING and I thought Ariana did great too but the judges were hard on her.

I was really surprised at the girl who did danced to the black man’s hip hop routine to the Missy song(forgot her partner too but he’s good). She WORKED IT OUT. That girl who was in the bottom with Ariana was a hot mess. She should’ve left. Bianca did really well. I didn’t see the Maxwell looking dude performance or the other hip hop dude.

ladyjustice – then yes it was Brandon. He didn’t even get a fair chance.
missy

Thanks Lady but why did they bring the boy back and then kick him off I like Russell I want him to make top 4 anyway Ariana I thought she was good but was she that bad last night to deserve to go home.

(my conspiracy theory is that they kept their favs whether or not they did bad Arianna probably was at the bottom of the list)

yup she DID THAT!!! and right after she performed, missy was on stage accepting her award
dcwife1622

@Daisy.. I agree

I loved Mos/Black Thought/Em.. anything else was garbage. Nicki was horrible IMO…I remember reading an article where Lil Kim said she always thought the white Barbie’s were pretty. I guess Nicki is next. Barbie or Mattel don’t give 2 sh!ts about her. Get paid for your endorsements…

.. This was very entertaining….

on stage with BET*

missy i dont know cuz he only had like 1 day to get the routine down, he did well
Kat

i didn’t think that the awards were THAT bad!
missy

This show already starting off with drama the judges prob keeping their favs….Oh well

Legacy = philip 2.0 (imo)
http://twitter.com/sherita78 mizzdallas

I didnt watch the EBT Hood Awards! smh

I miss charles he would have us ctfu!
http://twitter.com/eastpointvet eastpointvet

actually nikki lyrics was on point i just dont like the way she deliver them she tweeted the lyrics last night they were pretty nice
Daisy

Shauny I said the girl out danced Legacy lol she did that he sucks anyway to me and the other girl n the bottom is good to me as well. Arianas piece was WACK last nite u know I can’t STAND tabitha and napolen UGGH they annoy me
missy

@daisy you really don’t like nappytab but they did get dave scott and shane …….in every routine he does he has him a booty pop (I can tell a routine by shane on that show even if I miss and pass the channel and don’t see the choreographer)

Can’t wait to see a Mia routine if she does on this year and my girl Sonya (I Love her routines)
Shauny

Now you know that Travis is my ALL TIME fav SYTYCD dancer so I was a bit giddy that he’s still doing so well after his season. YES his piece was GOOD! I also liked Sonia’s piece and the non Tabitha and Napolean hip hop piece (the other dudes). That’s right, that girl danced with Legacy. I REALLY don’t like him.

Wait a minute…Missy got an award on the BET awards last night….for what exactly?
Shauny

I’m no longer a Shane Sparks fan after this season of ABDC. He is infatuated by sex moves over talent. He disrespected a lot of females this season while slobbering comments to those Afroborike women who looked average AT BEST. He kicked off the best team (Rhythm City) and kept bonk ass Massive Monkeys while his flunky Lil Moma followed suit. Sorry, for the short vent but he lost me as a fan and I LOVED him.

I think both Tyce and Mandy Moore gives Mia a run for her money with the choreo. Their contemporary routines be ON POINT too.
http://twitter.com/LaydeeJustice LadyJustice =)

@50…
I DONT EVEN KNOW. LOL i just saw her up there thanking aaliyah for letting her write music for her

icecube was honored also, but i dont know what that for either. he was looking mighty fine though
missy

i liked Massive Monkeys and i did think Shane was a little to sexually explicit for me also.He has always been like that i guess since this season had more females you see it more.Also when Artistry in Motion was in the bottom with Afroborike he called them(afroborike) the sexiest girls on the show i was like no this dude didn’t just say that with a whole group of other girls on stage .

I like Mandy Moore and Tyce he made me cry last season(Ade and Melissa routine crazy) but i love Mia even more i’m sorry.
Shauny

missy – EXACTLY regarding Shane. I was done when he had all of those ladies (sistas mostly) on the stage and he’s going to say that the Afroborike girls are the hottest girls he’s ever had on the show…WITH THEM STANDING RIGHT THERE!!! I was STEAMING.

You’re right, he’s always been into the booty popping and all of that but this season it was like times 10. He got criticism everywhere I saw (MTV, twitter, etc.) for his actions this season from kicking off the wrong groups to his comments.

Now I LOVE Mia too but I think when she’s gone next year that Mandy and Tyce will still hold it down.
kcicero

“He kicked off the best team (Rhythm City) and kept bonk ass Massive Monkeys while his flunky Lil Moma followed suit. Sorry, for the short vent but he lost me as a fan and I LOVED him.”

Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought Rhythm City should have been around much longer than they were! And those chicks were average!

@ Daisy yeah Lauren went crazy and I do hope she can recover but Mos just release another album, so did the roots in 08 and their always touring, common also just released. So they are there but how many people buy them? I got common’s I need to def cop the other two after I have a listen….
missy

Mia leaving next season I didn’t know that I love her routines but I think Tyce and Mandy will hold it down….Any one else will have to prove to me there better (j/p)

Hold on but am i the only one who think Shane and The-dream are related……….. been thinking this for a while
Daisy

Shauny I still like Shane as a dancer and I agree he was wrong for saying those girls were the hottest eva on the show he sure got a sideye that night BUT they were killing the hot sexy moves lol

Missy I CAN’T stand napptab YUCK they SUCK I want to see Laurie Ann do a piece

Shauny u know I Will and Danny as far as males go Travis wld be my 3rd pick
Shauny

I wonder what Danny is doing now? You know he and Travis are brothers right? I’d say that Travis, Danny, and Will are in my top 3 as well but Travis is my baby. LOVE HIM!

I’m more on character (which is why Jigga lost me as a fan) so when Shane did that, he lost me. I still love his routines on SYTYCD and will look forward to them but I don’t want/need to hear him talk anymore.

Afroborike did have some nice routines at time but Daisy, come on, even when their chit was dreadful he still found a reason to praise them. I didn’t like that.

@kc – We Are Heroes winning this season was the WORSE thing EVER!! They were in the bottom 2 like 4 times and most of the time rightfully so. This season was just jacked up.

Rhythm City was ON POINT!!! Them and Southern Movement were the best crews this season IMO
ELove

I WATCHED the NBA last night …
Didn’t watch the vid yet BUT Black Thought, Em & Mos Def ARE Legit Top-Notch at their craft (No Questions About that!!!)

@Shauny
You KNOW Em killed that damn song and my God-Son and his boyz can RAP-Circles around Drake but I WILL ADMIT that he be on some Hot-Tracks… But IMO he’s the weakest part of the equation
missy

I like we are heroes i just didn’t want afroborike to win.And i did wish southern movement stayed longer but hey it was in the judges hands.

But the best ABDC crew is Quest crew with my fav SYTYCD alum’s Hok and d-trix(Dominic) :yea:
Daisy

Shauny I am big on character as well but I have more of a forgive and forget mentality (hence my love of CB lol) I am just big on 2nd chances and ppl redeeming themself Shane liked them and that was his opinion so I was never that offended but I did give him a side eye that night and talked about him with my gfriend. I was MAD when Donyelle and her crew were sent home they were ROBBED!
iyonah

I agree on Joe Budden being one of the best, em &Blackthought also killed it!

Budden is one of the most underrated.
Shauny

E, are you talking about that Forever song? In my opinion lyrically it was Drake, Em, Kanye then Wayne. I was SHOCKED at Wayne’s part when I REALLY listened to the song….WACK! Now you may think that Em is a better lyricist than all of them but on that song I think people be like Em killed it MOSTLY because of his delivery.

I’ve listened to Drake AFTER listening to the Best I Ever Had song (which irked the hell outta me because it was played so much) and dude has some nice witty lyrics. I don’t understand why people say he’s soft or he’s faking. I don’t hear him talking about anything crazy. He’s Jimmy from Degrassi. Everyone knows that so what does one expect him to rap about?

Iyonah Joe Budden being slept on. I like him and Slaughterhouse
