Lets Beef - Battle Rap Forums - View Single Post - The problem with LB text battles (and why multi's will always win over bars)

So, I don't think multies are the only thing that wins on letsbeef, they do make your bars come off a lot harder. If you're using one or two syllables to rhyme, you seem very nursery rhymish and your style just comes off as easy as fuck to manipulate/work with, and you'll lose a lot of points because of that. Especially in a type of environment where flow isn't exactly the most important thing. If you're going on at least a 3-5 syllable multi you should be golden.

Think about in live battles, if your opponent is rhyming basic things/simple rhymes. such as Knife, life etc. You feel like he already can barely rap right?
Now say your guy says things like, Dartin to smack, Chargin attack.
It just sounds like his rhymes are more thought out and put more effort into his work.

Also you have to account for things like if your punch is set up well, and if your multies work with your punches. I've fallen victim to this where I had a dope concept for a punch, but at the time I didn't have the skills to properly set it up to deliver the message I needed. If you're going for lets say and Aggressive approach ALL YOUR MULTIES NEED TO BE AGRESSIVE/WORK TOWARDS THE PUNCH.

Lots of textcee's don't realize this, as I said I was like this at one point. You can't just throw things out because they rhyme.

I can add more to this later if you want, but I feel like this was a good amount of info already. Letsbeef to my understanding is a pretty fair site. Most of the guys I know here don't sway and are very cool guys. They vote accordingly and I'm known to do the same. Getting salty to a loss you feel you should've won is inevitable. But learn to improve from your losses, rather than be upset that they happened.
Hope this helped some.
