Elevation (positive site suggestion we can all help with)

One of the few things that still seem to instill that dope feeling this battle shit used to give me is helping random emcees elevate. I'm not necessarily more experienced than most of the dudes here, but I do tend to break things down in a supremely mechanical form in my brain & that usually allows me to explain some of the mechanics of this shit to people fairly alright, so I'm bringing back my group Elevation Temple.

But here's the shadow-motive of not only my group, but this public thread:

I think that one of the best ways to keep people interested in this website is to make it a place where we can literally change the course of their Hiphop careers, I know I'd never be doing the shit I'm doing today if EtH didn't stringently mentor me when I was super young in this bitch. And I also know one of the easiest ways to become great at something is to have a mentor more experienced than you helping you out, no matter what level you are at. So if you're a vet, or just think you have some really dope insight into the inner workings of this shit do what I'm doing & help some of your new heads out.

If you're an old head and you aren't helping the newer generation of LB emcees out, you're doing it wrong imo. Be a person that in 2 years a dope rapper can be like "Bro without you I wouldn't be where I'm at" and I guarantee the entire concept of "Fuck the old heads" fades fast. That, AND if we make elevation a good Niche of Letsbeef we will get a wave of rappers looking to improve their craft coming in. It's a win/win in most aspects, and an alright method of beginning to stop saying shit like "MODS FIX THE SITE WAHHHH WAHHHHH" and start actually improving this community.

Though the group system is still pretty terrible, its definitely more structured than IMs, to me, so it should serve as a consistent place to return for elevation help. So, if you'd like to elevate within an environment specifically designed for elevation, amongst a group only there for that purpose, feel free to reply here or PM me for an invite.

#HigherElevation Too bad the peeps that need improvement don't hit up forums lol...jk, sort of. I agree though...good to watch people elevate

^Def true though, most of the people I'm currently assisting in elevation hardly ever use the forums lol. I just hit up random people I think have potential as I see em in battles, mostly.

Most people that suck are also stubborn to advice and would rather talk shit and pretend they can beat people 1000x better than them, like Bnas, oso slick, .. etc

Or you.

@Babylon, totally agree with this, we all obviously have an interest in this rap shit, why not make everybody better at it. I think it starts off with voting. You have folks like @Subreal, who are part of the fvc , who only logs into call people faggots in chat. Why not add a couple fvc members who vote audio as well. Leave great descriptions about the battle, and what the battler can do to improve their delivery/wordplay. #signmeup
#alwaystaylearnin'.
P.s- smarter voters = more people will want to battle

^Because of this comment I'm going to go vote on every open audio battle existing right now, if anyone reading this would do the same it would be beneficial to activity.
