Lookback: FlipTop's Ahon

5/15/2014 6:54:18 AM

Since it’s already four years since this one was held at Guerilla Radio in Pasig City, let’s take a trip back to memory lane.

Let me guess: FlipTop’s Ahon was the biggest event (if not one of the biggest events) the Makati-based rap battle league has ever organized. They started in mid-February 2010 with the gracing event known as Grain Assault.

Chronicles Of A Radio Kid – Life and Death (November 8, 2010)

11/8/2013 9:35:53 PM

Sa nakalipas na labing-isang taon, isa akong bata na tagasubaybay na sa buhay at pakikipagsapalaran ng mga istasyon ng radio sa ating kamalayan. Oo, walang halong biro.

At sa isang pambhirang pagkakataon, eksaktong tatlong taon mula sa panahon na isinusulat ko ito, may mga pangyayari na nagbigay-signipikasyon sa kasalukuyang kultura ng mga Pinoy. Ang isa ay pagkamatay, at ang isa naman ang pagkapanganak, o pagkakaroon ng buhay (hindi siya resurrection o rebirth eh).

Playback: History Of Rap

10/26/2013 4:39:22 PM

Hey, wait a second. Let’s clear this for a while, folks (yes… before you complain about my content): We are not talking about music and history here yet, huh?

Damn it. I am not fan of Jimmy Fallon (I don’t even have a clear reception of channels 21 and 29 – which is Solar News Channel and 2nd avenue, respectively – to watch any foreign late night shows). And being an avid J.T. listener brought me here… in these 4 segments in an 18-minuter flick. By the way, forgive me for being a late-bloomer in terms of having such fascinations to several mainstream shits – like this.

NU 107 After 2 Years…

11/08/2012, 12:27 PM



Hindi ako isang masugid na tagahanga ng istasyong ito. Minsan lang ako kung makinig sa kanila, pero maliban kasi sa mga website na tulad ng YouTube, ito ang pinakaprimerong source ng rock music para sa karamihan ng mga Pinoy eh. Of course, maliban pa ‘to sa pag-attend ng mga gig ng mga banda sa underground man, o opisyal na concert.

Pero ang bilis ng panahon, ‘no? Dalawang taon na pala ang nakalilipas mula noong pormal na nagpaalam na sa himpapawid ng FM radio ang tinawag nilang “Home of NU Rock” – ang NU 107. Naalala ko pa nga ang mga hindi mawaring pakiramdam noon, lalo na sa parte nila na likas ang pagiging rakista sa sariling karapatan, na ang isa sa mga pinakasandigan nila sa musika ay mawawala na lamang matapos ang 23 taon na pamamayagpag.

Ilang mga personalidad ang nagsalita, mula sa mga dating nakasama bilang mga DJs, mga kilala sa larangan ng pakikipagrakrakan, at kahit ultimo ang mga DJs mula sa ibang istasyon na nakikinig din pala sa kanila. Mga kasama sa hanapbuhay ba.

The Battle Review: FlipTop - Dello vs. Target

08/23/2010 10:21 AM 

Perhaps one of the best local language-made rap battle videos I had ever seen.

If you're not a bit of fan of hip hop culture, then you better turn away from this page. 'Cause these two rappers seemed to have the right usage of words whether it's on cussing or just for plain teasing purposes.

When "Failing" Could Mean "Fun" Though

It was a Sunday afternoon of good times while the rest of time is quite frustrating.
