On YouTube, freestyle rapping burgeoned into a popular video genre with the rise of YouTube Cipher Battles and All Hip Hop All the Time (AHAT) videos. The format first became popular in the 1980s with active participation from commercially successful hip hop acts and saw a period of resurgence in the 2000s when it was adapted into mainstream music programs like BET's 106 & Park Freestyle Friday and MTV's Wild N' Out, as well as Eminem's 2002 hip hop drama film 8 Mile. Battle rapping has been a traditional component of hip hop music since its emergence in the East Coast hip hop scene circa late 1970s.
