Flippa Mafia and Elephantman war of words

The war of words between Bounty Killer and Flippa Mafia may have subsided somewhat since we have not been hearing any new material from these artiste targeting each other. Though Flippa had his differences with Bounty.. there was some amount of sound off with him and other alliance members ..namely Mavado.
There are now diss songs from both Flippa Mafia and Elephantman targeting each other. Its very rear that a new artiste comes in the dancehall music business and starts by disrespecting one of the legends of dancehall Bounty Killa, and now he is moving along with more confrontation by dissing the likes of Elephantman.
I have always said this kind of technique usually works one way or the other in terms of getting the attention that an artiste really needs. Bounty for years accused Beenieman of living off his hype and vice versa, the same with Vybz Kartel and Mavado... and the more obvious Monster Hemp Higher vs Bounty Killa. The monsters appear to be in some dire straits and made a desperate attempt for some well needed attention and Bounty Killer gave it to them.
Flippa who recently declared that his flossing will be toned down and he will be donating towards charity instead of tossing cold cash at stage shows not because he wants a hype, or the people cussing and saying "just throw the money num man", and not because the people are fighting for the money and all these things... It was just the proper thing to do.
Flippa has called Elephantman's name in his tune.. "nuh gyal cant lef me chu money" implying Elephantman are not treating the ladies and children well..in terms of financing.
In his counteraction Elephantman accused Flippa of being informer, dashing away money and his mother is living on captured land ...etc etc.

Here is a clip of the tracks
