The 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards were recorded last night in Atlanta and will air on October 11, with T.I. and Young Jeezy opening up the show. My favorite part of the awards are the cyphers, where some familar and unfamiliar rappers get to freestyle and show off and finally get some play on BET.
Watch below for the first cypher which showcases Sprite Hot 16 winner Chris Sutton from Durham, NC, XV, Jay Rock & Gilbere Forte. Let me know what your favorite lines are in the comments, and hit the jump for Cypher 2 and a full list of the upcoming cyphers!
Watch below for Part 2 which features Rico Staxx, Wais P, Termanology, Sean Cross, French Montana, and even Mike Epps!
Upcoming Cyphers:
Cypher 3: Estelle, Nitty Scott, Laecre, & Saprano
Cypher 4: Maybach Music (Wale, Pill, Meek Mill, Stalley, & Rick Ross)
Cypher 5: Big K.R.I.T., MGK, Kendrick Lamar, Tech N9ne, & B.o.B
