i know ya'll probably watched the awards and concluded that this was one of the best cyphers of the show, but my question is, why are we only doing stuff like this for award shows? i'm sure all these "freestyles" are pre-written, which is cool because sometimes when i hear one of my favorite artists freestyle, i hate that i am sometimes disappointed at their skills. some people are just meant to write shit down vs. rhyming off the top of their head. we can't all be Jay. i just wish BET would have a show or SOMETHING dedicated to cyphers...i always loved Rap City: The Basement where the artists would come through and shut shit DOWN with the freestyles in the studio. i love to see the raw talent that gives reason why these artists are in the famous positions they are in now. for me, i think freestyling comes hand in hand with being an emcee, and i'll admit that i do judge those certain artists who dont have the ability to do so. so much of this culture has do to with showing off your skills at the drop of a dime, with nothing written, just a beat and the bob of your head. and dont try and fool us, most people can tell when you're spittin something you've written prior. Tashy aint no fool!
