The main attraction of BET's annual Hip Hop Awards each year are the cyphers, featuring various crews taking the rest of the rap game to task.
In 2011, the Shady 2.0 crew blew the rest out of the water, with Eminem's verse reigning supreme.

Though Royce da 5'9"'s "Hi, Rihanna" moment (also from the Shady cypher) was a close second. And in 2012, the West Coast cypher proved to be one of the highlights.
This year's awards show was taped in Atlanta last weekend, and won't be airing until October 15th, but news is already making its rounds about who owned whom this year.
This year, it looks like Kendrick delivers the biggest blow, calling out Drake during his verse in the TDE cypher.
In a clip of the cypher posted by All Hip Hop to Instagram, Kendrick can be heard saying, "Yeah, and nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control' / And they tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes."
He doesn't call Drake out by name, but the evidence is pretty strong.
"Yeah and nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control'..."
"... And they tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes."
Above is a photo of Drake from last year, all dressed up for the club in his silk pajamas and slippers.
Drake is probably the first person to admit that he's a sensitive guy in touch with his emotions, and facts are facts — dude wore pajamas out in public. We'll have to watch the full cypher when October 15th to find out if there's more to this diss, but hopefully Drake won't be too bothered by it.
