The BET Hip Hop Awards just ended and as usual the cyphers are one of the main topics coming out of the show, and since we like you here at Thoughts of a Jeanius, we’ve got the videos of every cypher from the night!
We already knew some of the roster for the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, but now we have the full list. In all, over 30 rappers will rap for the cypher, including the likes of Snoop Dogg, T.I., DMX, and Kendrick Lamar to name a few. Check out the full list below:
According to tweets from Funk Master Flex, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy got into an altercation back stage at the BET Awards. Funk tweeted that at one point shots were fired in the parking lot and the gunman was arrested. He didn’t mention whether or not Ross or Jeezy were involved in that, but one can assume they were.
BET announced the nominees for their sixth annual BET Hip Hop Awards and my boy Kanye West leads the nominees with an unprecedented 17 nominations in 11 different categories for so many different things. A few other artists with multiple nominations are Jay Z, 2 Chainz, Drake, J. Cole and oddly enough, Ca$h Out.
Don’t forget we’re giving away tickets to see Kendrick Lamar, who will no doubt be nominated for Rookie of the Year next year, in Orlando. Get all the details here.

It looks like BET is losing another popular duo, after it was announced that Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall, AKA Derwin & Melanie from the popular TV show, The Game, would not be returning to the show. It is now being reported that Terrence J & Rocsi Diaz are on their way out as hosts of BET’s popular music countdown show, 106th & Park.
