Bieber tried to get on the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher using a verse penned by Ludacris, only to be denied by DJ Premier.
The annual BET Hip Hop Awards has become known for showcasing various emcees in its various freestyle cyphers. DJ Premier has become somewhat of a curator in the cypher sessions, along with executives at BET. During a recent interview, DJ Premier spoke on how emcees get selected to participate and explained why he had to deny Justin Bieber from entering the cypher.
"They'll give me the list," Premier said of the emcees slated to be in the annual cyphers. "We have arguments upon arguments. Shout to Stephen Hill. Shout to Jesse Collins. Believe me, we be arguing over who should be on it and all of that. Lots of big fights over the phone."
While Preem acknowledged that he has some pull, he also noted that he doesn't have complete control of the cypher.
"Trust me, if I had a lot more pull through the whole situation, there'd be a lot of other emcees on there. But again, they look at it more with ratings and stuff like that. So, when you get some of the artists that people may be surprised to see on there, they're all more current in the Hip Hop world of today. So, they make sure they're in the cyphers."
Still, thoughts about ratings didn't come into play when dealing with Justin Bieber's request to be on the cypher. According to Premier, Bieber was not allowed to enter the cypher once it was learned that he planned to use a verse penned by Ludacris.
"Justin Bieber even asked if he could do the cypher. Everybody was worried that it might mess up the integrity of BET but I was like, 'Long as he got a dope rhyme, let him spit.' But, then we heard, 'He wants Luda to write his rhyme.' I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no, no, no.' If you ain't writing your own rhyme, you can't do it. So, Justin, you gotta take a backseat on that one. Write your own rhymes, honey. You gotta call him honey on that one."

Ive said it before but I cant respect an artist's craft if he's not writing his own lyrics.

Singing is different, the main talent is singing not writing. Rapping your talent is the pen, if your nothing with the pen you should let your ghostwriter rap.

Based on the Otis "Freestyle" he did, it's pretty sad he has a better delivery and more *clears throat* "swag"
than some actual rappers. Luckily my cpu/ipod isn't loaded with those types of rappers.

So is everyone in this post saying they'd buy a Justin Beiber rap album. Where has Hip-Hop gone?

hell no. Just recognizing that he honestly didn't sound bad, at least on the song I heard.
I guess you can point to how subpar the average rapper is now that Bieber is even in contention

If you can say that Beiber is better than the average rapper that says a lot about how unbelievably BAD Hip-Hop is. And you wonder why people don't take it serious anymore and reminisce about the old days. Let's not forget Hammer and Vanilla Ice could "rap" too. Doesn't make them worth listening to.Originally Posted by Peep Game
