International battle leagues.

edit

Should other international rap battle leagues have their own mention? Such as Don't Flop (UK), Basementality Battles (Sweden), FlipTop (Philipeans) or GrindTime Australia? 92.19.37.146 (talk) 18:31, 7 January 2012 (UTC)Reply


it should be noted that FlipTop, despite not being an English language league, holds all ten of the most-viewed battles on YouTube. 204.93.118.124 (talk) 14:51, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply


There is a page about FlipTop nowadays. However, most viewed FlipTop battle video seems to have 29 mln views, second most popular — 19 mln. Russian Versus league (russian language) battle video Oxxxymiron vs Gnoyny has 25 mln views. (Views counts are as of today.) So mentioning/creating a page for Versus is reasonable. 83.102.198.52 (talk) 05:37, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Female Battle Rap

edit

That section is BS. No, female battle rap is not considered highly. "female battle rappers are widely known in their community"... LOL! what the hell is that? Who wrote this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3B98:F5C0:7D43:4E0C:A5F2:1590 (talk) 02:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Mari Lwyd

edit

The Mari Lwyd custom in Wales goes back centuries, people would walk along-side Mari going from door to door starting a sort of rap battle or rhyming battle, this is probably the first account of its kind and it's worth adding this to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hogyncymru (talkcontribs) 01:52, 12 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Norse people had a form called Flyting which is documented in Poetic Edda, one memorable instance has Loki roasting the entire Norse pantheon when he got drunk. 77.100.239.151 (talk) 00:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

PUFFERY / OR

edit

rv'ed this edit (again). We do not come up with original statements / MOS:PUFFERY such as "most popular battle rap league in the world" and "The sustained longevity and popularity of Fliptop is unrivaled" from raw numbers on a website, someone else has to say that. Per these not very civil comments, just because similar content exists is not a good reason to add more. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 12:21, 16 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The video

edit
