Since I was working all of last night in the studio, I missed the BET Awards. I probably wouldn’t have been watching them anyway. But while I was finishing up work in the lab, I did read a bunch of feedback on the cyphers they aired during the show featuring Mos Def, Eminem, Black Thought, Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj and more.  Some verses blew me away. Some didn’t. I’ll let you be the judge. This reminds me how important lyrics still are in this game of fashion and trendiness.
