dateofdunbar asked: What happened to the art of "the cypher" in hip-hop? It feels like people don't simply kick it and freestyle like they used to. Also...how (if at all possible) do you think folk can get back to that...essence?

D.O.D.

Great question.  It still exists in pockets, but it’s certainly not as prominent these days.  I remember going to shows as a fan and being so excited to jump in a circle and rhyme.  I think it’s seen more as a novelty and a throwback now, but I always get a smile when I see a group of buys spontaneously forming a circle just to show what they can do.
