The State Of Online Battling
I've realized that the shit is dying out...it's not just LB, its everywhere. There might've been 20 websites dedicated to battling online 5+ yrs ago & now there's a handful
What does this mean?... I think the online battle rap era...although we still get newcomers, passed...there was a certain window of time in the 2000's where it was at its peak
with live battling becoming so much more popular/mainstream I think people would rather try their hand @ a local league or a big stage like KOTD/URL if they could
the same way live battles are evolving & bigger names are getting involved, and bigger purses are being awarded... online battling has to take a similar step to push it to the next level
back in the day it was hotlines and phone battles, then text battles in chatrooms or w/e, then sites like letsbeef...and now the closest thing to live battling are the tinychat battles. we see the progession of online battling but nobody's pushed the envelope since the tinychat battles popped off
what can be done to push the envelope?

Online battle leagues? Multiple websites battle each other to represent?

we've battled people from other sites on tinychat, i forgot the name. @ PeacefulW4RRIOR prolly remembers, he use to go in there too. If they were dedicated to promote, an responded if someone did try to contact a admin or someone who could make it happen i bet it'd boost up the promo a lil.. i mean i still find reddit a badass way to advertise,

yeah its strange in this day and age
because [censored].com is dedicated to video audio and text battles
the most traffic comes from text battles which is like taking 3 steps backwards
---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
if LB started its show case in 2006-2007
maybe LB would of been an established brand by now

The trend might be dying but I feel like every 15 yr old n their mom is tryna rap. With the right marketing n shit I think we'd get a lot of newcomers. But the stakes need to be raised.. ie more cash prizes, maybe some LB radio time, or a verse from Lil Flip like LB had way back in the day except with a different rapper. Shit, maybe even get established battlers like Hollow Da Don etc to rock LB clothing in their battles similar to how UFC fighters ha e sponsors on their gear

God after your basment debut and non showing at the showcase anything you say should fall on deaf ears. Your lame and nobody really respects you anymore. STFU!!
@ Jason understand (ur smart) there's levels to this shit .. Back when online was at its peak LB was young .. There were not members here with the capital or the vision or drive to make things happen like what are happening now. Had we did a showcase for LB back in 2007 LB could be what KOTD and URL are now.
Shit cost money and most times that money is out of your own pocket .. If God has all this money why didn't he contribute to the showcase?
We are taking the steps to get LB noticed again. PUGZ doin 2 showcases next year .. Only LB members. Muggz is promoting on the basement and he has increased the followers on spreaker using IG and FB. I have started the DEFCON 5 group w/ 2 LB members battling in Nov and also set up a online battle site vs a live battle league event in March where LB will have 6 of its members Repping in a battle event .. NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT EVENT TOO (wtf) has God done nothing .. Those are three examples of people contributing to the site
Some people just need to fall back and understand how illrevelant they are ..

If you weren't a painfully average rapper with dickriding tendencies maybe your words would hold weight
getting shitted on in live battles doesnt make you relevant it just makes you a clown
i was gettin talked about at the showcase, on LB radio..etc without openin my mouth...THATS relevancy..
& you're a clown because if you know you're not fuckin with the best on LB what makes you think you can do it live?
but thats none of my business :grass:

Heh.. The battle niche isnt large that is true.. This is why we are trying to brand and make LetsBeef not just about the battling.. Yes theres not a lot of battle rappers.. but there are a hell of a lot of aspiring rappers out there... We are working on ways to better cater to them as well.. I also do not think its too late to get into the live battling circuit.. We want to bring something different to the table with these showcases.. Showcase not just battles but performances and allow our users who are serious about it... to put on.. So thats what we are doing :P You never know what the future holds until you jump head first into it.. Fuck with us!
