PUNCHLINE GROUPIES

Instead remove all the wins from their account, and make them public ally apologize to the winner, and make them admit the winner is better than them. Make both participants have text consent. This method embarrasses the loser, crowns the winner and provides hell of a lot of enterntainment. It also provides fair ground for each of the rappers to stand on.

Eh. I don't see the value in tinkering with the rankings (removing wins) based on a bet but I do like the idea behind 3 styles being used in a competition though, if enough people are interested we could bring back the LBTT (LB Text Topical) monthly competition where people drop cyphers to run alongside the LBA & LBT. There could be a LBAT (LB Audio Topical) as well.

Yeah I messsaged edgeworth about that. Cyphers are a bit underrated on here so I think a tournament could bring that light back.

Nah, I see what you mean, like I used to say this, but I realized this is where the skill level comes in, you're supposed incorporate all the other beautiful parts of rapping WHILE punching.

This is spot on.

The type of bars I'm talkin' bout would be considered 'struggle bars' or the 'street shit' that aren't so much punchline based, but more hit em' where it hurts type shit.

Can't remember the exact battle but Chess is goin against somebody who hits him w 'Bet you never cut a plastic bottle to make a bowl' or something along those lines. & that shit hit hard cause Chess is somebody who's known for those type of bars.

Now, that approach does not work on here, even if done right because people are punch drunk. You'd be lucky if a few people fucked w it, when it's actually dope. Idk, I know it's just my opinion but figured I'd throw it out there.

Tay Roc vs Chess maybe? seems like that's where that bar came from.

All you need is a punch to win. I’ve tried so many different styles just to be told I’m not following the format lol. But that’s really why I don’t battle much.

Me experimenting will grant me a loss.

This is unfortunately true. It's weird to cuz I could write a verse here that people think is dope. Then head over to Netcees and drop the same verse and they will all say its ass. It does pidgeon hole your style and that's unfortunate.

Agreed, but end of the day, this is battle rap, you are supposed to be targeting your opponent, i'm sure there's a way to make a struggle bar hit, just flip it creatively in the build up and turn it on him at the point where the punchline hits.

I am not completely blind to what you guys are saying though, like if i'm ever writing bars for anything other than LetsBeef, I am writing completely differently, so you guys aren't wrong per say.
