Closing thread; everything you mentioned LB has already: video, audio (not just 45, but 1 and 2 minute rounds also, as well as cross-format topical and heaps of other features, tracks, crews etc) and live webcam battles through chat room.
Letsbeef is a 24 hour site that's been thriving for almost 10 years now, outlasting Goldmic, sixshot etc. We aren't struggling; our global member base exceeds most battle rap websites and the quality of our crop has been recognised on wider platforms, for example, URL's Conceited began battling here, as did KOTD's Real Talk and BodyBag's Illimit. We're doing just fine, and from personal experience the talent pool - across the board - exceeds most battle rap sites.
Just because we don't offer these ridiculous prizes at the end of tournaments means nothing; everyone is here to step their game up and prove themselves on - what I believe to be - the best battle rap site on the net. Our members are generally loyal, active and part of the community. Letsbeef is a tool for elevation of skill; a gym for those wishing to progress onto bigger platforms and arenas. Of course, it could be more, but we already have a few members working towards that behind the scenes.
Poaching members for rapt.fm isn't something we condone here: we've always had rapport with other battle sites - we've even hosted and visited other sites for cross-site challenges - but there's a certain "code", for want of a better word, that we don't try and take business from each other. This is like me setting up a coffee shop next to yours and asking you to advertise my latest promotion in your store.
Keep it moving. Good luck with your site.
