Shady 2.0 destroyed all the other cyphers. These guy would give young money a run for their money! Damn eminem switch up personalities while he was rapping, that was so D O P E! I looked up the lyrics to the cypher and there were so many good and clever verses. Shady records is coming back and that cypher was the best.

He’s a geunine lover of hiphop and so thats thats but Royce 5’9 was the funniest like i enjoyed it but Marshall detroit killed it. It was the best the most memorable.

Lol, y’all wanna talk about Shady 2.0, and Eminem? Lol, they didn’t do anything but take up more time. Lecrae killed it, and if he would have wrote more and rapped as long as a lot of people did it would have been even worse than it already is. No fire can compare to that holy spirit fire.
