Peeeeeeeeeeeeeero, this is where one of the most frequently asked questions in the history of freestyle battles and that no one has been able to answer, and possibly will not be resolved.
Which question? A simple one, but one that has a lot of history to explain: Is freestyle sport or music? If we go back to the origins, freestyle comes from rap/hip-hop musicbut it is adapted to sports competition.
Slow down, brainiac! It will not be easy to answer this question, because both the musicians will defend their position, and those who say it is sport, will also do their thing.

Why can freestyle be a sport?
Although everything is focused on the music, from the beat to the bars of each rhyme, there is no denying that the essence of freestyle battles has more sport than music.
The simplest and most forceful quality to define whether it is sport or music, is the sense of competition that battles have and that is that, between the two, only in sport you compete, while in music you don’t.
In a freestyle battle, There will be a winner like in soccer, like in American, like in boxingas in basketball, as in swimming, diving and all sports.
Point defended by Chuty, one of the greatest Spanish exponents and in history: “I think that freestyle, as such, I see it more as an art, and I see battles more as a sport“.

And why is it music?
We can close the debate with the basis of the battles, as we already mentioned, is the musicbut we do not want this to end without controversy.
Yes, like all sports, it has rules and regulations, but Mau el Aczino said it well, the main thing is art: “I feel like it’s an art competition. It is a competition because it has rules, it has duels, it has leagues, but what we compete with is an art“.
