There's this thing called rap battles, which I came to love. I have been a fan of Spoken Word myself, and have made and perform spoken word poetry pieces myself, and when this Flip Top rap battle became famous, I loved it!
One thing I don't like about it though... they use their words and wits to bring down others... Such a waste of poetic talent! Sayang! The makata Filipinos have been reduced to whining losers intent on making their opponents worse losers than they are...
Those talented poets could have just removed themselves from the world, instead of doing nothing but defacing each other...
OR... They could use their flair to lift people up! To lift our consciousness to a higher, better and more sensible level!
That's when it hit me! Why not use rap battles the opposite way!? Philippines, with all its political corruption, poverty, junk-food entertainment media, and all other things Filipino whiners whine about their motherland, is in dire need of positive energy!!!
So we decided that we make our own version... "Lift Up"!
And this Lift Up thing has been going on for a while! Check it out! We're still on the process of moving it to a higher level... thinking of other "modes" for it... tournaments, etc...
Catch Lift Up on YouTube... subscribe to www.youtube.com/user/ernikaiein
And once a video of it hits 20,000 views on YouTube, we will feed a community!
