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]

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]

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 (talk • contribs) 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]

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 at the beginning of this article features a rap battle in Japan and is performed in Japanese. Could someone add english captions to it please? Purplelavendermidnights 17 (talk) 20:04, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
