The Real Husbands get really lyrical for Hip Hop Awards.

2013 Hip Hop Awards, Real Husbands of Hollywood Cypher

1 / 10

The Cypher Continues! - A$AP Mob, Black Hippy and Slaughterhouse are all well-known modern rap crews. However, given Kevin Hart's propensity for dropping BARS as Chocolate Droppa, we thought for a moment that maybe his Real Husbands of Hollywood crew would be up for the challenege of taking part in the Cypher. Sure enough, they were. (Photo: BET)

Nelly - Nelly's a platinum-selling rapper who made wearing Band-Aids on your nose cool even when you didn't have an injury. That doesn't take away from his legacy. We look forward to hearing the bars this veteran has to deliver.  (Photo: BET)

J.B. Smoove - J.B. Smoove sort of looks like Inspectah Deck from Wu-Tang Clan, so we expect that he would have some type of lyrical talent. Plus he's worked with Larry David, so any bars being dropped would likely be pretty funny.   (Photo: BET)

Nick Cannon - If Wild 'N Out is any indication of Nick's improv skills, then you can expect some greatness to come from him during the Cypher. Will he start "wild 'n'" on Kevin? Tune in to find out.  (Photo: BET)

DJ Drama - One of the top DJ's in the game, it's hard to compete when you got Drama on the 1's and 2's. He makes sure the energy is right and the Husbands are able to deliver nothing short of quotables. Believe that.  (Photo: BET)

Kevin Hart (Chocolate Droppa) - We all know Kevin enjoys the art of rap, so it's no question that he can deliver. Just look at the preview -- "I’m mad…I’m glad…at the same time feeling all sad. I miss my dad." That right there is the verse of the year.  (Photo: BET)

Duane Martin - Being that Duane is cool with Will Smith and did a movie with Tupac, we figure there must be at least one hip hop bone in his body that would allow him to shine. You can place your bets now.   (Photo: BET)

Boris Kodjoe - Boris isn't one to be associated with hip hop, but that might change when he's presented with the Cypher. The competitor in him (remember he used to play tennis) might feel the need to show up and show off amongst these other mitches.  (Photo: BET)

Oliver - Don't underestimate Kev's assistant! He might be used to getting punked but all that passive aggression might manifest itself into some serious lyrics.  (Photo: BET)
