As I fast forwarded through the BET Hip-Hop Awards last night these cyphers were easily the highlights of the night.

Up top we have Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem. Ridiculous. I got goosebumps watching all three of these guys spit.

Below we have KRS-One, Wale, Nipsey Hussle and Gsan. Further down Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden (fuckin’ kills it), Buckshot and Crown Royyal.

The one and only DJ Premier on the 1s & 2s.

This is hip-hop people.

BONUS: DJ Premier, Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, Crown Royyal, Joe Budden, Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Gsan & KRS-One – 2009 BET Hip Hop MEGAMIX MP3

Nipsey Hussle – Bullets Ain’t Got No Names Vol. 3 (Mixtape)

A pretty dope mixtape from the face of the West Coast right now -  Nipsey Hussle. Definitely has that west coast feel.

Rick Ross - Lay Back 2 ft. Robin Thicke

Even with the bizarre past of Rick Ross I still find Deeper Than Rap to be one of the better release of this year. “Lay Back” was already one of my favorite tracks with a guest feature from crooner Robin Thicke. Well it looks like they put together a part 2 which is equally is dope. This is the next single off Deeper Than Rap.

Twista feat. Spice 1 & The Game - No Love

Twista’s new album Category F5, drops June 16th. Chi-town….

Bonus tracks of Relapse.

Fam-Lay - Get That Work Up ft. Pharrell

I’m always down with anything from the Star Trek/BBC fam-lay. Ha. Anyway Pharrell is indeed back on the bongos with this one. I always enjoy tracks like this.

+++

Ghostface Killah ft. Ron Browz - She’s A Killer

I mean yeah Ron Browz is whack but I’d feel like a goon not posting a Ghostface track.

+++

Nipsey Hussle - Good For Me (Produced by Scott Storch)

Slim Thug ft. Brisco, Nipsey Hussle, Yo Gotti & E-40 - I Run (Remix)

One of my favorite tracks right now just got the west coast treatment. Brisco kinda sucks but the rest of these dudes kill it. FOOOOOOORTY. Jim Jonsin on the production -  in case you don’t know who he is check out this collection of his work that has been compiled into a nice little  mixtape. You might be surprised all the songs this dude has had a hand in…. Lil Wayne - “Lollipop”,  T.I. - “Whatever You Like”, Trick Daddy - “Let’s Go”….I put the full list of songs that come with this mixtape in the comments of this blo post.

Bizzy Body featuring Webbie is the lead single off Paul Wall’s new album Fast Life, due out May 12th. Kinda like it too. I don’t really get why Paul Wall has so many haters, I mean look at the guy what were you expecting. His collaboration album with Chamillionaire back in 2002 was dope.
