The first Filipino Battle League popularly known as fliptop or fliptop battles, is the Philippines rap battle contest that was joined by amateur rappers. It was founded by Anygma in 2010, it became a trend and gained prominence through video sharing site YouTube. Fliptop was described as a modern day "Balagtasan". The format of the competition is 2 competitors, each battle have 3 rounds and theres a panel of judges who will decide and determine the winner.
Most of Filipino's enjoy this unique kind of competition especially teenagers ot's different way of expressing words they are able to use words regardless of the grammar which give them the freedom to express themselves in a artistic way. It may sound easy but if you watch one of battles, you will be amazed because of their distinctive intelligence in using words. Competitors use any kind of languages: Tagalog, English, Spanish and native languages with vulgar and harsh words and usually delivered in freestyle lyrics and with rhythm. It is very important that they must catch the crowd. But this is not recommended to be watch by everyone especially children because of some words that are used in Fliptop was too bad and some videos promotes bad behavior. So parents must strictly guide their children in watching it. And if you are interested to watch it you must be open minded on what you're going to hear.
Here's one of my favorite battle, hope you enjoy the way I enjoyed it. :)
