“Never been stated in the prophecy, a gleaming birth of the 80’s. Now strongly been devoted to
preserve its image from the sucker mcs”. Yo! Everybody’s indulge and die over to hear it but nobody
has the nerve to do it. However, things done changed until 1998, was the transitional for hip-hop
on our block. The birth of Flip-Hop Crew who started with only eight pioneers who unite in
order to prove what hip-hop is all about. Now it is gettin bigga and better as many heads
who wanted to get involve on the mission of the organization.
Straight up for good, hip-hop is already on us. We started it and made this kinda organization
for real. This is about us, Flipz who dedicated to preserve and represent the true meaning of hip-hop
against the negative view as only flashy jewelry, on branded outfit (sellouts) and violent
lyrics. FHC recognized the power of hip-hop to uplift the youth. Which inspire and support them
heads along with concrete facts and intelligent analysis about the importance of education,
avoiding into trouble and making good decisions. In part of our education, hip-hop stands as our
motivator and inspiration. So stay in school coz it is the only key for your success. You had
it all! Thus, because of FH organization, we experienced downright chemistry of friendship,
we improve our self image, know the value of life by developing our talents to get busy rather than
losin our life into vices. That’s what Flipz does; we’re cool of doing it. Something that can be proud of.. In behalf of my partner, Rolando Gadingan, Jr. a.k.a. “2snak”, co-founder of the Filipino Hip-Hop Society, would like to express our continuous support to the members (vetz and neophytes) of the hip-hop organization in Dumaguete City known as the Flip-Hop Crew. It is an honor for me to stand with y’all in continuing the organization’s existence, on it’s 6 years on the scene. Though I wasn’t be with y’all as my time has changed, facin the challenges in life. But I’m gratified that ther’s someone who can sit behind the table. I’m so eminent of knowing KimixII and his team’s effort of taking over the organization for this year ‘04. In addition, I’m thanking to the members for their cooperation, keepin FHC on the run. So let it be known and continue the artforms representation. Unfortunately, it’s time for me to pass it on to any of you. To continue what we have started, as you know I can’t stay with y’all for me to handle the organization. So many reasons to tell but one thing for sure are my career. I have to move on.. I can’t take away the degree that brought me here, and what I am now. But no matter what, I still be hip-hop till my heart stops. Heads up high coz I’m proud to be a part of it, ain’t no lie coz we did it, heads saw the way we kicked it. Word! Ironically, I can’t break the ice easily. I’ve been bothered and recalled the event of the FHC. I still missed our shows but I can’t bring it back. Eiyyo! For this remain true and I’ll promise y’all keeping my fingers-crossed that I still on y’all. I’ll never ever turns my back especially during hardtimes. And I never forget y’all, my brothaz and sistaz. Now it’s ya opportunity to blow up! Make use of your special talents coz it’s time to be Y-O-U! Hope you could make it in the industry, though it’s not our aim. Continue to diffuse hip-hop in every corner. It is now ya responsibility in bringing the organization on it’s direction. But keep it real through the guidelines from the FHC by-laws. Just want to remind y’all to make sure of your neophytes will not totally dump the word “loyalty” in the dictionary. And also don’t just accept new comers to our organization with out any insight of his/her personality and his-her understanding about the culture. So that you can control them heads whom really concerned about the organization’s mission. Because some of them are just makin fun of the org. they wanted to join for the sake of the name. Just to use it for fame anf money, knowwhatimsayin? We learned from our past. So be aware of our policies to keep you away from misunderstanding and rivalry. Till here just keep the peace! Keepin vices away, express hip-hop everyday! Much luv.

- is the kind of art which expresses in the form of MCing, 

Breaking, DJing, and Graffiti Art.

- These art forms as we know them today originated in the 
 South Bronx section of New York City around the mid 1970s. 
 Hip Hop has thrived within the subculture of Black and

 Puerto Rican communities in New York and is now just

 recently beginning to enjoy widespread exposure. From a 

 sociological perspective, Hip Hop has been one of the main

 contributing factors that helped curtail gang violence due 
 to the fact that many adults found it preferrable to channel 
 their anger and aggressions into these art forms which

 eventually became the ultimate expression of one's self

	This is the vocal side of hip hop! Understand this an emcee is not a "rapper"! Some do get offended. Emcee'n is poetry. This is a combination of rhymes, knowledge, vocabulary, beats, soul and rhythm. Emcee'n is an art like all other aspects of hip hop. One cannot become an emcee overnight. It takes practice and dedication.
	This is the acrobatic story of hip hop! The ultimate mixture of gymnastics(capoeria), flexibility and athletics. Just like a sport, it's to be practiced. Once the skill of breakin' is obtained, then other skills can be mastered and or conquered. It's poetry in motion for hip hop.

	This is where the actual music comes in! You all know that the party can't start without a DJ in any circumstance. The DJ has the job of lacing or sampling a track to bring any song to life with any sound made with a vinyl record and a turntable itself. Now and days there are computers that do the job, but real DeeJays are the ones suffering from the effect. So why not give them jobs also to make ends meet like those commericalized DJ's? Just a thought that should be considered though.
	This is the artistic side of hip hop (literally). For a true graffiti artist, writin on walls is like a piece of theirsoul lettin loose through the can. You have ya throw-ups, wild stylez, and bubble letters. Each artist knows about can control and all that. I know you've seen at least one tag on a wall, subway train, bus, where ever. Remember those are tags! The actual art comes in with the burners and the murals you may see of someone's name, a story, or a cartoon figure.
	This is the knowledge of hip hop itself. Existence within hip hop without graffin, emcee'n, deejayin or breakin. Just havin love for the culture!
