FlipTop Battle League is the first and largest professional rap battle conference in the Philippines, founded by Alaric Riam Yuson (known as Anygma) in 2010.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, King of the Dot and Don't Flop, which inspired the creation of FlipTop and other battle leagues around the world. The league also branched out into several divisions after its success.
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.

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.

Fliptop is the new modern balagtasan of filipinos, but in fliptop, it is normal to hear harsh and bad words. It is a battle between emcees. Profanities and insults are allowed in the battle. It's up to them if they will take it seriously.
The Sinio versus Shehyee match has become a trend because of Sheyhyes and Sinio's exchange of insults. Sheyhee started insulting Sinio's wife, saying she was ugly and fat, and Sinio make his rebat to Sheyhee through an insult to Anne mateo, Shehyee’s girlfriend.

Shehyee:
"Kaya kapag sinabi kong pangit asawa mo, real talk yun, pati si Zaito nagtataka kung bakit ka na in love don. Yung mahal ko mukhang taga South Korea mala crystal jung, yung sa'yo mala North Korea ala Kim Jung Ung."
"Buti nalang pangit asawa mo, paano nalang kung naiputan ka sa ulo."
"Yung pag ka proud ko sa Girlfriend ko pinuna niya ng husto, ikaw pinapagamit mo yung girlfriend mo wala nga lang may gusto."
Sinio:
Okay lang naman kung titirahin ko si Ann ‘di ba? Kasi hindi naman bago sa ’yo kung titirahin siya ng iba.”
“Oo mataba asawa ko pero at least may unan ka na, may kama ka pa. Di naman siya katulad ni Ann Mateo eh, pang kama lang talaga.”
“Paano ba nagging sexy ‘yon kung binababoy ng iba? Pinagpalit ang puri para sa papuri nila? Oo, may maganda siyang image pero ang laswa ng imahe niya. Maganda nga siyang modelo pero hindi siya magandang modelo para sa iba.”
“Sana kapag nagka-anak ka, maging babae, tapos kay Ann magmana. Ewan ko lang kung maging proud ka pa pagdating ng panahon na sabihin sa ‘yo ng anak mo na: ‘Papa, pangarap ko pong maging katulad ni mama, p*ta.”
It has all started because of Sinio's rebat. Anne Mateo's mother has filed a case against Sinio and he reacted with this statement, " Demandahan na ang gusto. Yari na. Mahirap lang kami." Sheyhee also also posted to his account that he will help Sinio sort things out between Anne's mother and him.

Fliptop battle is full of rude and harsh words. It is a nature of Fliptop, but for others, fliptop provides entertainment for them. Like for an instance, for me. I am a fan of Fliptop battles and for rappers fliptop is important to them because it's their talent and I think it is life for them.
