Tragic Decline of LB Audio
After the interruption of one of the smallest Audio GCs due to the player buggin' out, and then the disappointing cancellation of LetsBeef's Bars4Bling Video Tournament…..
LB Audio is clearly on an increasing decline…. which has been going on for a while, but picking up momentum like a snowball effect.
Also, almost nobody shows on Friday night cyphers/battles on tinychat.com/letsbeefbattles
As an active member that tends to lean towards audio, I find this concerning.
Is LetsBeef going to die out completely or just decline into only a text battle site?
How will LetsBeef audio compete with other popular audio battle sites such as Rapf.fm ?
Thoughts?

I think it's going to go straight down hill, Too much talk of upgrades and other stuff that is just slowing the site down. I remember when I logged on and there would be shit loads of open battles on the audio side..now days, you'd be luccy if there was 1 battle on the opens. We need more traffic and people coming to the site and actually staying..instead of just signing up and then never logging bacc on. This is my site of choice for battling, So I hope something gets done that brings in traffic and brings this site bacc to life.

It may pick back up, but it's slowly dying as of now.

Simplicity and perfecting the basics is the key component in revitalizing the Audio side and LetsBeef.com as a whole. This is a small niche market with little competition and what is needed is simple. PEOPLE WANT TO EITHER IMPROVE OR SHOWCASE THEIR RAP ABILITY IN TWO WAYS a) BY TEXT BATTLING or b) AUDIO BATTLING and then of course post tracks to showcase as well. All I utilize are the battle platforms and the chat/discussion forums and could care less about what sneakers my emcee is wearing. How can there be talks of spending money on nonsensical frivolous additions when the backbone of the website has so many current problems and is in need of an overall cleaning and a few screws tightened here and there to improve accessibility and the interactive overall feel. Since making the switch over to Audio I really have no desire in switching back to have a go with the text unless i get the hankering for an occasional cypher because that seems null and void on the audio side. Any funds need to be directed into cleaning up all the outdated piles of irrelevent emcees, battles, threads and so on and so forth and then all the extra gadgets and crap should be deleted and focus soley pinpointed on finessing the basics. All the audio needs is a dependable easy to use recorder with the ability to input any beat to record over...
Heres another question, if I start up an audio cypher or two will people jump on it?

I agree with this statement overall, especially about the basic features needing to take highest priority in being fixed (particularly making audio cypher section, tournament and crew battle pages operational so they can stop being run through the forums).
Also, yes, I definitely promote you using the tinychat.com/letsbeefbattles site to start some online live cyphers. I have done impromptu cyphers this way before and its a good time.
Thanks for contributing to the discussion homeskillet.

I would love to do a brand new audio cypher wit cha Freak but unfortunately the Audio cypher part of this site was never updated wit the recorder so now one cant even do a cypher at all...BASICS! PERFECT THE BASICS THAT IS ALL WE NEED! A DOPE EMCEE WILL BE A DOPE EMCEE REGARDLESS OF HOW BIG HIS AVATARS BELT BUCKLE IS...PROVIDE US WITH THE TOOLS TO ELEVATE, COMPETE AND MAKE LETSBEEF THE BEST FUCKIN SITE OF ITS KIND! Keep some tournaments for challenges but get rid of everything old and start fresh and new and simple! I hate seeing potential be wasted, its worse than watching Bnas battle the sillouhette icon on the top right corner of the page cause he figured that dude wouldnt be tough to beat...

When I first started on Letsbeef back in 08 Letsbeef was poppin. I would log in and there would be 4 or 5 battles open at all times I would go away and come back and same shit. It was more about crews and family makes tracks and diss other people. It's gotten to be more about tracks then anything as of late. Audio side is completely fucked and I think that's why no body fucks with it anymore. Text well it seems to still be doing good. I just don't wanna see the site go to a text only thing with me myself and a lot of others prefer audio more.

Man when I first started on LetsBeef back in 1962 rap battles were a nickel and kids had respect and used to use a belt with their slacks. On the real though we should bring back pay-phone battles, i was always good at those...MC Operator Alias
