The following is a list of the sites most acclaimed and popular text cyphers. These have all been nominated and approved by a select group, and showcase the talent of the writing ability found in the text arena. Some are included for their majesty, whilst others for the impact the particular cypher has made on the site. A text cypher on this site is defined as a solo piece of writing, and can come in many different types and formats such as storytelling, diss cyphers and conceptual pieces amongst many others. A popular form of cypher in recent years in the battle compilation cypher, whichs sees a members archiving their best battle rhymes into a single piece. Although these style of cyphers have been well recieved and constantly grace the cypher hotlist, they will not be included into this list. Only original pieces will be eligible for this collection.


Artistic / Storytelling Cyphers

Jason - Questioned By Christ (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=37042)

This piece written by Jason shows a man challenged with the question of good and evil, and its many contexts and implications. This cypher with its religious tones is thought-provoking and touching.

KingOfSparta - Requiem Of Death (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=35147)

KOS was a polarising member of the site, and although many have no time for the man himself, this cypher has remnded popular dude to its intricate multis and spiritual overtones.

WAR TANK - Stay In School (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=7187)

This hardcore storytelling cypher details the angst of 'Warren Peece', as he proceeds on a ramage throughout a cleverly woven narrative. Considered one of the sites greatest ever cyphers.

UNKNOWN ARTIST - Trapped In A Disney Movie (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=23623)

This is a short yet poignant piece, conceptually comparing and uniting the story and reality of the pop singer Micheal Jackson and the childrens story of Peter Pan.

UNKNOWN ARTIST - BAD SHIT HAPPENS (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=40306)

A storytelling cypher based upon a real-life event, UNKNOWN ARTIST effortlessly weaves his recounting in a flawless style and has the reader sympathising with the tales protagonist.


Diss Orientated Cyphers

DaDDiO - The Rumble In The Jungle (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=35014)

This is a battle verse originally sent to MahVulus but never responded to. DaDDiO then proceeded to re-post it as a diss cypher and it has since been lauded as one of the strongest diss cyphers ever seen on the site.

RULE - How To Rob... A Lets Beef Textcee (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=39138)

Although this comedic diss cypher is a bit dated, its impact at the time was widespread and garnered its author the attention of the site. A letsbeef adaptation of the 50 Cent song 'How to rob', depicts the 'robbery' of a number of the sites members.

DaDDiO - Thrilla In Manilla (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=58209)

This could be considered a sequel to DaDDiO's other masterpiece - The rumble in the jungle. Again it is a 64 line battler verse that was never responded to, this time the original recipient being Jason. What makes this one stand out even moreso than its prequel in the fact that it consists of one rhyme scheme made up of a eleven syllable structure.

RULE - The ABC Murders (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=48572)

The planned sequel to RULE's 'How To Rob' cypher was changed into this piece that depicts the murder of a letsbeef member, taking a victim from each letter of the alphabet. Winner of the forum awards 'Cypher Of The Year' for 2011.

pULSe - Its Over Coree (http://www.letsbeef.com/cypher_details.php?section=tb&id=41612)

This was a battle verse sent to Coree Warpath but never replied to. pULSe then posted it as a diss cypher. Displaying his trademark wordplay and theme related punchlines, this cypher helped to legitimize pULSe as a force on letsbeef.

Unknown artist- Trapped in a disney movie
Will forever be the best cypher in my eyes. One of the first cyphers i took a liking to when i came across this site and I've kept the link ever since I first read it. Wordplay is dope, flow is dope, and the last two lines are the nicest twist in a cypher I've ever seen.
Well played UA. :guns::guns::guns::D
