Duck Down Cipher In The Park - Union Square, NYC

At the very core of the Hip Hop art form, removing the money, flare, jewelry, and fancy marketing schemes, is the ability for an MC to rhyme. Taking it a step further is then the ability for that MC to showcase his/her talent publicly in front of a large audience and WIN THAT CROWD OVER. Duck Down Record's artists Buckshot, Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Naledge of Kidz In The Hall, Torae, Skyzoo, Steele of Smif N Wessun and members of Team Facelift gathered at Union Square Park in New York City and started a classic Hip Hop Cipher demonstrating the embodiment of what it means to be a true MC.

Leave it to Bootcamp to rep the culture right. Anyone hating on this is a fool, Duck down been keepin' it real from time. If this cipher isn't real enough peep "Session at the doghouse" or virtually any other video's from Duck Down/Boot Camp from the 90's.

@hlholden yeah, its fine if its just a group of people rapping, but not if they pretend its a cypher.

[hlholden]

I liked it

but it isn't so much of a 'Cipher' as it is a 'Showcase'.

[hlholden]

@doc7114 They shouldn't have named it "Cipher".

[CadiKid101]

skyzoo killed that though

[doc7114]

This is a pretty fake cipher. Nothing like the real ones. I mean, it was all organized by a record label, and half of them are rapping into the camera.
