The 2011 BET Hip hop Awards premiered last night and the highlight of the night besides the performances is once again the cyphers. Which has quickly become a huge viewer favorite.

According to HiphopDX.com:

The batch of rappers gang up to spit off the dome during a cypher.

Hip Hop veteran [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Tech N9ne[/lastfm] joined in the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards cypher with [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Machine Gun Kelly[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Big K.R.I.T.[/lastfm],[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] B.o.B[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kendrick Lamar[/lastfm].

The quintet each took turns spitting rhymes off the dome, with K.R.I.T. taking first verse duties on the freestyle. Tech Nino, clad in a tie and collared buttondown, came next, while Machine Gun Kelly, Kendrick Lamar and B.o.B closed out the cypher.

I must admit that I really only watch this awards show for the cyphers! I know I may be wrong but they are the hottest part of the show that is completely unscripted.
