== Battle ==
In general, the contest consists of three rounds with a time limit for each contender set by the referee. Overtime is applied if the battle is a draw. The first turn is determined by a toss coin. Written or non-written lines are allowed. Both sides can also bring props for the event. [[Filipino language]] is the primary medium although other languages or dialects can be used. The winner is determined by the decision of the judges. The criteria for judging are the usage of words, audience impact, delivery, and rapping style.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news5.com.ph/top/D6951240FA74434/1001/fliptop-rap-battles-paano-pinaghahandaan|title=News5 Everywhere - 'FLIPTOP RAP BATTLES,' PAANO PINAGHAHANDAAN?|website=News5 Everywhere|access-date=2017-02-11}}</ref>

===Lawsuits===
===Controversies===
====Sinio vs. Shehyee post battle off-stage====
Due to the nature of the league and its mechanics, bashing or shaming emcees' relatives is inevitable in the battle. The league has a long history of mocking emcees' relatives during the battle. However, during an undercard match between Sinio vs. Shehyee on Ahon 7 that happened on December 16, 2016. Shehyee threw disrepectful lines on Sinio's wife Bie Sarmiento during the battle, which Sinio rebutted hard by dissing the internet sensation Ann Mateo, who is the girlfriend of Shehyee, that lead to Sinio's victory in the match. Their match was uploaded on FlipTop's YouTube channel on February 2, 2017 and went viral with over five million views within four days, and some part of the clip was also uploaded and shared on Facebook. Sinio's harsh words on Ann Mateo in the second and third round of battle sparked mixed reactions and controversy especially when Ann Mateo's mother watched the video, when she threatened Sinio with a legal case. Because of this situation, many netizens bashed Shehyee for being unprofessional in the battle, he was also blamed for not explaining to his girlfriend's mother about the mechanics of league. It became a hot topic on social media. Sinio made a clarification to his fans that Ann Mateo's mother plans to sue a legal case against him and Shehyee was not to blame, and that he understood Ann Mateo's mother's point-of-view. Shehyee also made a clarifications about the allegations, he said that he helped Sinio in addressing the issue with Ann Mateo's mother. Ann Mateo has not yet formally expressed her reaction regarding the match.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://entertainment.inquirer.net/214513/ann-mateos-mom-wants-sue-fliptops-sinio-offensive-rap-battle-lines|title=Ann Mateo’s mom wants to sue Fliptop’s Sinio over offensive rap battle lines|last=Abanilla|first=Clarizel|website=entertainment.inquirer.net|language=en|access-date=2017-02-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://manila.coconuts.co/2017/02/07/fliptop-star-sinio-might-get-legal-trouble-because-offensive-lines-rap-battle|title=Fliptop star Sinio might get into legal trouble because of offensive lines in rap battle|date=2017-02-07|website=Manila|access-date=2017-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/trending/02/07/17/models-mom-plans-to-sue-fliptop-star-over-rap-battle|title=Model's mom plans to sue FlipTop star over rap battle|last=News|first=Rhys Buccat, ABS-CBN|newspaper=ABS-CBN News|access-date=2017-02-09|language=en-US}}</ref>

==== Reading lyrics during the battle ====
When the battle between Pistolero vs Luxuria was uploaded to FlipTop Youtube Channel, viewers noticed Luxuria reading her written lyrics on her smartphone in the middle of the battle instead of memorizing it, raising concerns of unfairness and cheating.

Besides Luxuria, there have been other instances of rappers reading their lyrics. Dopee and his partner Snob was caught in their DosPorDos battle reading their lyrics on a piece of paper for a few seconds. In another instance, rapper LilWeng pulled out an earphone to listen to his verses.

FlipTop Rap Battle League is the first and largest running professional rap battle conference in the Philippines founded by Alaric Riam Yuson (known as Anygma) in 2010.[1][2] The league promotes Pinoy hip hop. FlipTop is heavily influenced by the original rap battle leagues in the West founded in 2008 – Grind Time Now (US), King of the Dot (Canada) and Don't Flop (UK), which inspired the creation of FlipTop and other battle leagues around the world.[3][4] The league also branched out into several divisions after its success.[5] The league is currently under management of a self-produced events and artist management company, FlipTop Kru Corp which was established also by Yuson.

Format

[edit]

FlipTop has three different battle formats which sometimes combined with Freestyle

  • Written – This format allows use of written lyrics along with freestyle and is now the standard format used in battles.
  • Freestyle – At first the most common in all FlipTop tournaments, this format is now rarely done and has generally been replaced by the written format. Lyrics must be thought of during the battle.
  • Old School – Is essentially the freestyle format but is accompanied with an instrumental and is commonly used on tryouts.

There are also different variations of rap battle within the FlipTop tournament:

  • Dos por Dos – Tag-team freestyle rap battle. It can be Emcee or Femcee, Freestyle or Written.
  • Five on Five – Five-member team freestyle rap battle. It can be Emcee or Femcee, Freestyle or Written.
  • Femcee Battle – All-female rap battle. It can be Freestyle or Written.
  • Intergender Battle – Male vs. Female battle.
  • Royal Rumble – A rap battle consists of more than two emcees randomly attack or bash each other.
  • Secret Battle – Same as the other battles but with limited audience. Sometimes it surprisingly appeared in the day of the tournament unannounced.
  • Won Minutes – Strictly one-minute per round format.
  • Promo Battle – A rap battle without any judging occurred. For theatrical performance and entertainment purpose only.

Impact and criticism

[edit]

FlipTop initially gained criticism for its use of strong language, mockery and bullying, prompting the city government of Makati to ban rap battles in the area.[8] As time passed, the events gained acceptance with the help of official FlipTop YouTube channel[9] gaining more than one million subscribers for which they received the Golden Play Button Award, and over two million likes on its Facebook fanpage.[10][11] Some emcees in the league recently are more focused on line delivery, hyping the audience in the battle, and gimmicks rather than dissing to attack the opponent; emcees also improved their penmanship.[12] After it gained success and reputation via social media,[13] many amateur and other rap battles arose such as Sunugan, Word War, Bolero Rap Battles, Bahay Katay, Flipshop, Flipcap etc. Due to its freestyle and rhymed content, some academics consider it as modern-day "balagtasan" although some rap artists discourage the idea. Some educators consider FlipTop as 21st century Philippine literature.[14][15][16][17] Some emcees involved in FlipTop have gained commercial success like Abra,[18] Dello, Loonie, Smugglaz, Shehyee, and others, which caught media attention. Some lines spoken by the emcees in battles became popular phrases used in the Philippines.[1][19]

Controversies

[edit]

Sinio vs. Shehyee post battle off-stage

[edit]

Due to the nature of the league and its mechanics, bashing or shaming emcees' relatives is inevitable during the battle. However, in an undercard match between Sinio and Shehyee during the Ahon 7 event on December 16, 2016, Shehyee threw disrespectful lines against Sinio's wife, Bie Sarmiento, during the battle. This led to Sinio aggressively rebutting Shehyee by dissing the latter's girlfriend, internet sensation Ann Mateo. Their match was uploaded on FlipTop's YouTube channel on February 2, 2017, and went viral with over five million views within four days. Sinio's harsh words about Ann Mateo received mixed reactions, and became a hot topic on social media. Controversy arose when Ann Mateo's mother saw the video and threatened Sinio with a lawsuit. Because of the situation, many netizens bashed Shehyee for being unprofessional for his failure to explain to his girlfriend's mother the mechanics of the league. Sinio felt that Shehyee was not to blame and that he understood Ann Mateo's mother's point-of-view. Shehyee tried to help Sinio in addressing the issue with Ann Mateo's mother. Ann Mateo did not share her reaction about the topic.[20][21][22]

Reading lyrics during the battle

[edit]

When the battle between Pistolero vs Luxuria was uploaded to FlipTop Youtube Channel, viewers noticed Luxuria reading her written lyrics on her smartphone in the middle of the battle instead of memorizing it, raising concerns of unfairness and cheating.

Besides Luxuria, there have been other instances of rappers reading their lyrics. Dopee and his partner Snob was caught in their DosPorDos battle reading their lyrics on a piece of paper for a few seconds. In another instance, rapper LilWeng pulled out an earphone to listen to his verses.
