If you guessed that last night’s BET Hip-Hop Awards was business as usual, you deserve a bag of Cheetos and an autographed copy of the Internet for being right on the money. The same names won the same categories. Most of the performers could have easily been replaced with dry ice. The only bright moment, aside from Ice Cube’s “I Am Hip-Hop” award, was seeing Kid ‘N Play sneak in and steal some dance steps. Despite the show’s pitfalls, there’s a segment that continues to stand out every year – the Cypher. The setting is perfect and they always seem to pick the right combination of MCs. Forget an MTV Top 10, Eminem is seriously making a case for all-time Top 10.

Peep high quality clips of the cypher bits below:

Eminem – Warning (Nick Carey Diss)

Bodies will drop. Venom will fly. And then we’ll all call in to Hot 97 to vote on the winner.

Eminem dons his motivational speaker hat on this one.

Anytime you can get the Teacha to discuss other MCs, you’re in for a delight.

How’s this for randomness? Ron Artest quietly debuted a tribute track titled “Eminem” on his GooTube channel. Please excuse me while I go file this one under ‘unintentional comedy.’ I blame Lil Wayne for this f-ckery.

There has been a ridiculous amount of speculation on this, so let’s put the guesses to rest once and for all. Bruno’s crotch-landing on Eminem at he MTV Movie Awards was 100% staged. Funnyman Scott Aukerman said so himself. OK, you’re probably going, “Well, how would he know?” Turns out Aukerman was the head comedy writer for the award show. He says that both parties were in on the joke. And, yes it went as far as it was supposed to go.

Scott Aukerman writes on his Tumblr page:

“Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!”

What does it say about our country when a superstar has to arrange beforehand to have an ass shoved in his face. This is not American at all.
