What if you pretended to be a black guy?? would that help your efforts??

I already tried that. It didn't help.

I honestly don't think that having a magazine about a fucking Internet battle site would interest people. I would either go all the way with a hip hop mag, or not do it.

I think the inclusion of hip-hop, and live battling news makes it more appealing. But, I mean, in order for it to be a LETSBEEF magazine it has to have SOME relation to the site, and site news. There's no reason you can't sprinkle stuff in about LB. There are a lot of things happening that aren't focused solely on internet battling on the site. IE: Crew mixtapes, and individual mixtapes. The radio shows, etc.

Still, a magazine centered around internet battling doesn't seem like something that would appeal to the public. You also have to consider that the online hip hop market is extremely, if not over-saturated. I honestly don't think that you could come up with anything that isn't already out there.

That's the thing, though, it's not ENTIRELY centered around online battling. Which I've just pointed out. Lol. Like I said, not only does this intend to include outside of LB news about the hip-hop culture, and the battle rap culture, but, there are also things outside of online battling that letsbeef is doing. Let's not forget that the site DID just recently host its first live event, which went fairly well. Especially so for its first showing in that form. There are also members of the site who do live shows themselves, with their music. Also, it's not necessarily about bringing something people haven't seen, as much as it is about doing what people have seen better. It's not something that's going to be a walk in the park, by any means. But, it is something that could flourish, given dedicated work, and a steady grind.

Bump. Let's get some more feedback.

Did I already get interviewed for this? And rant runs it? Dudes going to change my words around no doubt. If rant runs it, it'll just be some shit troll crap.

If done right, this could be a great addition. Been done before and died off, if both @Rant & @Subreal stick with it, i'd say this would be dope.
