One of the league’s most popular staples is Dos por Dos (two for two), a tag-team freestyle rap battle format. The other rappers who made it in the list are, in order: Loonie (2nd at 213 million), Tipsy D (3rd at 199 million), Shernan (4th at 189 million), Zaito (5th at 186 million), Shehyee (7th at 160 million), Abra (8th at 145 million), Smugglaz (9th at 126 million), and Dello (10th at 102 million). Sinio tops the list with more than 313 million views in his 21 battles, averaging nearly 15 million views per battle. With combined views of more than 2 billion as of writing, it’s not a surprise that FlipTop MCs almost swept the top 10 most-viewed battle rappers in the world in any language, according to battle rap music index site VerseTracker, with nine out of the top 10 list (the sole non-Filipino rapper in the list is Oxxxymiron from Russia). To celebrate FlipTop’s 12th anniversary, we’re reliving its 12 most-watched videos over the years. For so long, hip hop fought a seat at the table-so FlipTop made their own. In this writer’s opinion, its success is how it brought an entire community, culture, and craft into the conversation, disrupting the status quo. Hip hop in the Philippines has always been an outlier, rarely breaking into the mainstream. With a millions-strong community and fierce supporters as well as global recognition, FlipTop’s ascent is unprecedented.
