The nail was hit exactly on the head in a previous thread I read over. I decided to piggy back and have sort of like a town meeting for the LB members to voice concerns, make suggestions and brainstorm
COLLECTIVELY in the event that we can achieve something great.
We all care for LB (some more than others) but we always find ourselves looking at the same screen for a large portion of our days/nights. So we as LB Members need to start bringing people back to LB. Things are getting fixed around here (Crew Battles & Audio Cyphers) I recently was privilege enough to get a glimpse of v4 and you all will be very satisfied with the time and effort it took into its creation. BARE W/ the Staff .. all are working hard.
Personally, I feel that the #lbshowcase on the 20th will be a huge launch for LB and the progression of it's activity. However it can't stop there .. there are people on LB that have made the scarifies and dedicated a lot of time to ensure that LB starts to get recognized as a platform for Hip-Hop. If you listened to Vicci's interview last night on @
Muggz Basement segment .. you would know that LB has created a buzz within the community and the showcase is a fresh look for the site as well as the culture.
So what can you (LB Member) do to continue the movement ...
Promote LB as well as yourself. Word of mouth is the cheapest form of promotion .. it allows the consumer to interface w/ you and see if you are selling some bullshit to them. If you have access to a phone show them the website .. highlight certain features such as
- crew section
- crew battles
- audio/text cyphers
- audio/text/video battles
etc ..
Don't expose potential members to the negativity that sometimes plagues this site. Instead shine LB in a different light. Nobody (Race, Gender, Religion, Age, Skill Level) should be exempt from being a potential member of LB! We should welcome anyone with open arms .. being that LB is a "platform" it is only right that by joining our site will you eventually get better.
For those of you that are in high school. If you are free styling or talking or know of people that like hip-hop introduce them to LB. Just the other day I had some of my students as if this was me .. I look on there phone and they are watching one of my
Bad Blood video battles .. the information is out there we just need to streamline everything back to LB for LB. That could be some future members on LB.
- Help new members set up a profile
- Approach anyone that listen to hip-hop and mention LB
Use catch phrases like "LB is just another audience to get your music heard, as a member of LB you will get your music heard by thousands of people" or "you liked to Live Battle .. there is a section on lets beef.com that could ensure you get footage to show live battle leagues - and it works"
- Reach out to the artistic types mention that there is a section on LB (Topical Lounge) where you can get your poems seen and feedback provided.
Those LB members that are in college .. mention GFX Forum to the graphic heads. Military members should be reaching out to brothers and sisters in arms that do music (there are a lot of talented artist in the military)
We all live in different parts of the world as well as different countries .. think how many members we would bring just if all the current members that respond to this thread brings (10) new members .. what if the new members bring in (10) members
the possibility are endless
What are your thoughts LB
