Siite talent level.
 

I realize I don't need to tell most of you guys, but...put frankly, the overall talent level on this site sucks nowadays. The hotlist is trash, and there are barely any cats on here who are legitimate heavyweights.

This being said, I (as do many others around here) feel that it's important that we in the forums take some sort of measure to at least try to help raise the overall talent level on this site.

So, in this regard, I'm going to ask YOU, O talented emcee...How, why, and what made you strive to become a better emcee??? How did you end up a here instead of becoming the next epic dickryder???

the vets that use to encourage me to up it has vanished round 08-09. now a' days its just us. lol. and we could care-less bout the next man. but should remember others helped us to get where we are.

Uhm, Don't know if I'm good or not but...I just started out as having fun and then read the vets lyrics and was feelin' their skill level, and the concepts they were on, so I just tried to improve to get there. I'd read their lyrics and punches and try to figure out how they set it up and came up with the punch. It's easy after that.

this thread will show up once every three months regardless of the era...

^^^ lol its terew , but letsbeefs a hard treasure map finding x aint ez round here lol SO many good ideasof revival or much need attention lost in pages of battle link and shit talk spam in the text lounge :( if only they listend i feal like a christian @ armegedon lol of letsbeef no disrespect god or christians :P

I battled pretty much everybody... and my skill level accumulated from it. Illimit, Real Talk, Conceited, WarTank, Left Field, TopNotch, Chizzel, Mahvulus, UA, D-Reppin, Mayneak, BrainStorm, Jason, Reefer, Oreo Boi, .. and numerous others.

This is how I evolved, don't sleep. Read some of their battle's and learn from'em. Period.

:pimp:

word... peep game... focus... period...

i still got to work on wording, but battling dudes who's styles i enjoy reading made me understand how to make verses spin off the way i'd like to...

being active helps...lol... i'm hit and miss lately, but yeah i know who to go to for battles when i'm building... coree speaks the truth...

You get better as time goes on. It took me a while to catch onto things, I been here since '05 on my first account. The earliest account I can find dates back to '06 though. Still, 4-5 years is a long time. I've seen a lot of people ( Conceited, LEFT FIELD, Illimit, DaDDiO) come and go. You sort of read their shit and learn from it. It gives you an idea on what you have to do to get better.

& tbh in our current form the site's skill level might suck, and the voting too, but I feel like LB is home to the most talented emcees on the net. You take people like

Beyond, Alien, Sinizster....all legends on their respective sites. I read their shit and laugh because I feel like our emcees could really fuck them up. badly.

You can compile a top 5 list of any textcees on a single site, it would never compare to LB's top 5. Which is something like... Illimit, Left Field, Conceited, Real Talk, UA..or somethin like that. Haha.

and thats another thing. LB really is tha most advanced battle system around. we got alotta sucky battlers. but we gotta remember Ill Kid we didnt just show up here dope off bat ourselves.


but another thing, we got tha dopest spitters to hit a battle site. even dope heads from other sites come here cos tha competition they'll face.


ohh yeahhhhh. we got tha most versatile top 10 list on da net period. most Sites gotta steady list those names'll stay on tha list. here we got so many dope cats till ain no way everybody list could be tha same. all depends on what era yuh was most active.

Well, even now, I still think LB has the best punchline battlers on the net. I've been around more times than Pulse's mom, and I still think LB got the dopest textcees.

But, in comparrison, the problem is not people, the problem is the world (strange, but read on...)

Everything has sacraficed it's legends.

Wrestling has one guy who is big, John Cena, and in comparrison to years ago when it had all the big guys everywhere, it seems so much worse now.

Music had Bob Marley, 2pac, Micheal Jackson, Ray Charles, Elvis, but now we no longer have any legends of the industry.

Letsbeef is just getting like everything else, and the imact people make are shadowed by the impact of better characters. This means that it is so much harder to establish a good vet, and so momentum and hype drops from people, making their verses less legendary compaired to the past people.

Now, this was other people off topicness, now mine.

I joined the good battler circuit because I was being told from people whom I knew were respected that I was a sucky dickrider, which was true. I knew Olde English was the man, so I challenged him and he said no, because I sucked. This made me beg numerous people to mentor me, lil midget, Lethal News (Impekable), Lil Dre (Student) and Askari all stepped up, but only Askari actually taught me how to punchline and told me who were the type of guys that were good. This propted several months of serious sucking up to Street Famous and other vets, before I joined 2smoking, then USS, established some decent texting.....then hiroshimaed and manifested EtH. Life story + 1!
