I remember when this came out and all the other Cyphers came out. No one knew what a Cypher was. And people always thought they were dissing the person they were calling out. hahah. good times.
In rapping - it's come to refer a chain of freestyles over one beat. Each rapper calls out the next person. Ciphers in general are obfuscated or methodically garbled messages but now it refers to the this phenomenon provided you spell it with a "y". Usually a big producer will come with the beat, give it to a rapper and start the chain.
After listening to DFD for so long...i feel like there isnt anything creative left to rap...but then he just keep making the dopest ish, and im surprised everytime...
@aznwaffle It's the LEGENDARY DENTED MIC!! They bought a new one cuz people complained or somm... lol but the people wanted the dented mic back so they brought it back and thats why you notice the dented mic! :)
Much respect DFD, grew up with you, D-Pryde and Traphik. You guys inspired me to start rapping, and I found a love for music. I hopped on this beat, I think I fucking killed it, and you are one of my most important inspirations.
DFD you killed it like always. Cant wait to cop your album it will be ordered friday on my first check of my new job. It would have been bad ass if i was able to pre-order it and got you to autograph it but oh well it will still be dope!!! Your at the top of your game right now and theres nowhere to go but up!!! Keep your bars up!!!!
holy shit, never seize the surprise me, plus that cypher came out like 2-3 hours before this video ... in that lil time he came up with this sick rythme
@K2kyd i got it for 99.00 bills at guitar center it came with the two mics the one hes using and a compressed mic for instruments, but im not sure if its still the same price i got it like 4 years ago
Why is everyone thinking there is beef between DFD and TPS. Calling them out means passing it on to them so they rap on the instrumental. It isn't dissing them, it is a compliment.
@afroguy78 they got a new mic and then people started commenting "bring back the dented mic!!". i dont know if that is why he is not using it.. i just find it funny lol.
@SilverSinspawn Hopsin is a rapper lol. He's been getting a lot of buzz lately. He's on Tech N9ne's track "Am I a Psycho?" and most recently he's been recognized for dissing Tyler the Creator in "Ill Mind of Hopsin 4." He's pretty good.
@TheJaceyCee I think its due to the attitudes of everyone being all pissed off and angry at each other, new generation tends to fight with each other alot.
IF y'all pay attention... His mic is somewhat dented in MC Showcase 2011! Either it's the same mic... OR he dents every mic he gets on w/ his HARD HITTING verses!

Cyphers have been around for a bit. But your right, I’m sure there are some people think that cyphers are dissin the person they’re calling out
Peak UA-cam right here.miss these days

High school days! When cyphers were 🔥

@GanBoi91 The dented mic was a thing Knocksteady is dealing with for a while, but it sorta became a trademark of their production.

saw this dude last night with watsky in Denver.. BADASS!!!
Damn, I don't know why. I read a lot of UA-cam comments while I watch the videos... I read this one and it actually blew my mind. Well said Crazy.

got my confirmation email today for the preorder, but i live in australia so i wont have it till next week... perhaps i will buy again on itunes....
I still can't get over dumbfounded in that newscast interview, priceless =)
If you watched this video the other times it was uploaded it wasn't synched that well. This one is MUCH better.
DFD is raw.
idc whoelse gets called out i already know DFD killed this cypher!!! killed it man!!
holy shit, never seize the surprise me, plus that cypher came out like 2-3 hours before this video ... in that lil time he came up with this sick rythme
I watched this like 5 times already! It's like your dope lyrics dented that mic! LOL! Amazing stuff!
dfd is the perfect rapper with some of the best lyrics!! definitively good pronunciation! and inpecable flow!!!
damn, i listened to this about 10 times... i wish it was longer.
@grindin574
Amen to you my friend. Good to see there are some people with sense my age.
Knocksteady should really become a record label! If that happened...oh lord...all in the world will be right again
I click the "like" button every single time I watch this (even if it doesn't register every single time)... and that's everyday hahaha. Doooope.
Holy shit, the cypher came out the same day he posted this. Sounds better than mainstream artists' that spend months just on one song!
DDay that his album comes out he spits a cypher. Unreal
Duke Westlake is that dude!!! dope beat, dope raps.. ive played this like 5 times today haha
DFD, palmer, and intuition. killed it. love watsky dont really know traphik
I'm so in love with this beat!!
@DaddyTrenddz nah. im not sure what mic is specifically, but i know its not a USB mic. you can tell that its an XRL cable into the bottom of the mic.
@K2kyd i got it for 99.00 bills at guitar center it came with the two mics the one hes using and a compressed mic for instruments, but im not sure if its still the same price i got it like 4 years ago
Just got my DFD album and its so SICK
this beat is... out of this world
Why is everyone thinking there is beef between DFD and TPS. Calling them out means passing it on to them so they rap on the instrumental. It isn't dissing them, it is a compliment.
i juuuust cant stop watching this.
TBH, Dumbfoundead always kills every single cypher no matter who calls him. It's simple: natural talent. DFD all day.
@pandappotamus I think it was a moving accident or something but it's become somewhat of a trademark for knocksteady
Dude you killed it and called out the Palmer squares?! This is too much hip hop win for 1 video.
YES! sick cypher and good choice by calling out palmer squares!
@ErikRAWR Actually, they held a fund raising campaign and it was a huge sucess, it was the fans who asked for them not to replace the mic
i check my mail box hourly waiting for DFD!!
about time you put out a video, i forgot all about being subbed to your chanel
daaaam Dumbfoundead always takes it to the next level!
One of my new favorite rappers now >.>
Yeah man... he still one of my favorite artist. he needs to get signed or something
i swear all of his shirts are dope as hell
Shit man! Every video you put out just gets better and better, just when I think I've seen it all you bring more and more. Keep it up man!! Respect.
This beat is just too dope haha... Dumbfoundead, you are going to be a legend
@afroguy78 they got a new mic and then people started commenting "bring back the dented mic!!". i dont know if that is why he is not using it.. i just find it funny lol.
OMG i just remembered somthin i can replay it
god damn man, im still shocked on how you dont have a major deal. Your lyrically one of the dopest dudes i've
ever heard.
@Manstudude To everyone their own. DFD's cypher flows hella betta
Ohhhh shittt he murdered thiss aghhh , fucking dope. Lyrics are great and flow is too good. I love this man
Yessss it's back up.

@perrylatour
i totally agree with you... you definitely don't get "the cypher thing"

DFD is a menace on the mic!
YOUR RAPS ARE SO INSPIRING I LOVE IT !
I love this beat

I came over from Watsky and watched all the other raps that other people have. I like yours and Watsky's best. You fuckin rock man like a boss!
god.. you are so good

@fetmabebis you're right, im not a scrub, as previously stated, you are.
I love this man
So glad Duke called out Dumb. Now we can hear him kill it
@KoMicAL thank you!
ONCE AGAIN, DFD Killed it, dayum, give your brother from another mother a lift man. Lol But for real you're bared up.
Of so effortless!!
@SilverSinspawn Hopsin is a rapper lol. He's been getting a lot of buzz lately. He's on Tech N9ne's track "Am I a Psycho?" and most recently he's been recognized for dissing Tyler the Creator in "Ill Mind of Hopsin 4." He's pretty good.
craziest part about this is that after following dfd for awhile you'll know that this is probably a freestyle XP
Dope stuff man. You need to put all your short freestyles on a mixtape. that would be bumpin hard in my car!
I'm about to get on this cypher beat.
Damn this beat is so dope!
WHAT A SICK BEAT !
DFD never fails to go hard.
KILLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont understand why DFD doesnt get maddddd views!
Yo Dumbfoundead, please respond to the raise the bar cypher!! I've been waiting for it man
I need this damn instrumental!
@TheJaceyCee I think its due to the attitudes of everyone being all pissed off and angry at each other, new generation tends to fight with each other alot.
My grand pop's grand pops was getting mad props
Thank you so much for the instrumental!!
@Doc41295 haha. They've replaced that mic with a new one now, but that was funny.
sick beat sick bars
one of the emcees at knocksteady allegedly spit a freestyle so hot the mic started to melt ;)
I give ya props.
I love it how people do a Duke westlake cypher without even being called out, and then call out well known people like Wax, and expect a reply
KILLING IT AS ALWAYS
nice dfd , P squaressssss gonna kill it
@KuroiOrb Haha, i see youre getting Versetyle out...
Ive been subbed to him for about 10 months now...Maybe longer o_O
IF y'all pay attention... His mic is somewhat dented in MC Showcase 2011! Either it's the same mic... OR he dents every mic he gets on w/ his HARD HITTING verses!
