This is the video from the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards Freestyle Cypher. The feature begins with the newer emcees of the group, like Nicki Minaj, and then gradually works it's way up into the Gods of freestyling, Mos Def and Eminem, all over live Premier beats. Even Wale and KRS-One make cameos. By the time you finish the video, you can't help but stand there open-mouthed for a minute trying to get your mind around some of the later verses. Of all the shit coming out of BET these days, it's features like these that redeem them.
