For the fifth cypher of the night at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards, Snoop Dogg brought out the battle rappers for a live performance in front of the awards show audience. The rappers included Arsonal, Couture and Calico. That's really obligatory information, though. This cypher was really about Murda Mook.
Throughout his career LL Cool J has been famous for putting other rappers on in his video. From 'I Shot Ya' to '4-3-2-1,' LL is not afraid to share the microphone with his fellow rap peers. In his new video for 'I'm Nice,' he gives Raekwon and battle rapper Murder Mook some shine over Ron Browz's head-nodding productions.
After hinting that he was doing something real big for the battle rap scene, we now know what Snoop Dogg is up to. The veteran rhyme-slinger is hosting a battle rap event called Snoop Dogg's Gladiator School.
Fresh off defeating Loaded Lux in what some say is a battle that'll go down in the books, Murda Mook drops the Mills Miller-directed visual to his introspective cut 'Preach.'
