The Cypher

Before the studio recording, the music videos and all the fame there was the cypher. The cypher is when there is a group of rap artist freestyling so in other words making up there rhymes as there going, and there is also a dj on the turn tables playing the beats sometimes they switch up the beats or they'll just keep the same beat going the whole time. You can still see this all over the world but now with the studios and everything you dont seem to see people having cyphers on the streets as much people are all trying to make demo cd's and send them to top named producers when really every ten cd's they probably throw out, sucks because sometimes they probably throw some good talent out just because they were too lazy to slip the cd in the stereo system.
