id say we're avarage

but from my point of view, this site is FAR BETTER than the majority of sites from a Web Design point of view

since most sites suck ass, there just a forum with members that battle

where as am tryna develope the site into more of .. well a site, rather than just the basic forum i started with

most sites stick with a forum, maybe add a couple mods here or there, but they never do it them selfs

and there always so hard to navigate (specially InvisionBoards)

like people have always said to me: LAs easy to use/navigate, everyfin is in reach etc

from a web design point of view, i like parts of GoldMic, but its rather hard to use really

and i personally wouldnt like LA to be one of these sites that has like 10,000 members and 100 new members aday, cose then its more likely we'd have even WORSE members (lyrically) and even MORE n00bs and 'abandoners' etc
and i liek the 'close' feeling, i like the fact i know members and dont think "who the fucks that?"

meh well just my opinion

^ I agree... but then I dunno if there's any "ill" site... and if there is it's WannaBattle... but considering the egos there... I think we're better off... GoldMic is overrated... even the best there are overrated text-wise... Our top heads could beat any of them... So yeah... I've only seen one site which might be classed as ill... but it's a shit, shit site so I'm content with LA...

As for LA's traffic... Traffic is pretty good... I think double traffic wouldn't do much harm though and wouldn't be "overburden"... we just wouldn't pay as close attention to detail as we do now... And I'd still like more "top 5" MCs here... other than that it's as good as you could as for...

. . . Now who said they fuckin' with me?
They just said that FUCKIN' with me
They didn't mean it
Nah . . .

i only commented on the ACCTUAL site of GoldMic - am a web designer, so i look at the site

but lyrically id look at it from a 'balance' point of view

the top dogs there i'd assume are better than ares (they have like x100 the member base we do, chances are its true but i dont go there so i dunno)

but the lower end is SOOOOO much worse than LA, the worst here id say would be middle on GoldMic so on scales - GoldMic isnt that good, as you want a more consistant site, not really REALLY crap and REALLY good, you want more on the scale we have

oh and i think Egos would ruin a site, we dont have many egos here but other sites like on MSN or InvisionFree prob have LOADS of self-rated egoistic ... people

note: dont mean to offend anyone by my comments, i aint a 'MC' so i dunno really the level people are on

GoldMic's top dogs are all good no doubt, but overrated like I said. People like Triple Six are very much beatable. They have more "dope" MCs OBVIOUSLY... but not necessarily a higher standard.

I think text-wise this site is very much like all the others in terms of all the others skillwise...jus on a smaller scale, coz we got a handful of dope emcees lyrically, a whole buncha ppl that aint that good and sum ppl that think they r better than they r...so I dont see any difference there...

In terms of design, this shit is easy to use...so its coo...nuff sed on that

I think where LA lacks is definately the audio department - places like Goldmic have some fukin crazy audioheads which this place really lacks...even WannaBattle doesnt have that many good audioheads, and the 1s they got tend to surf the boards a lot so WannaBattle isnt there home...textwise, WB is by far the best, it has a range of text styles that are all ill...sure there are egos, and ppl sayin they better than they r but thats bout the same as every other site - only thing bout this site is its smaller so ppl wit egos dun really care to stay here long (unless they can back themselves up )

But yeh, lyrically I'd say there are only like 5/6ppl on the site that can say they are lyrical...but waheva

havnt seen many site's but i do know a few which "can" be sick but on a lot of sites the dope heads arnt even active so i'd say this site is on the same scale because we have dope heads average heads and then elevating peeps which is all a site needs i think
style wise this is the best ive seen much easier to find your way around and well i just like it lol

i think we bring something different to the table - lots of fresh styles... and stuff that wouldnt necessarily traditionally transfer to audio..

but i enjoy it

i reckon lyrically this site is pretty decent, i do know of sites with mc's far better than any1 i've seen here, but they are really really inactive, and although they aint over egostistical, they only really acknowledge you once they feel u are worth the effort, this site has some pretty dope emcees, and they are all active so in my opinion, the site aint doin bad at all by any stretch of the imagination. plus, the site is very well put together, i've been on so many sites where you dont even know if you've been called out or not coz they had 6 billion (slight exaggeration) forums for different degrees and types of battles, also the member level is tight coz u can actually follow the battles and callouts and shit without them dissapearing 5 pages down in 4 secs, its a nice site with a nice environment, and what i been searchin for for mad time, so i think its pretty damn tight

this was the first battle site i ever visited, but i checked up on other ones, jus to compare, and while the "elite" on sites like "goldmic" and shit like that are probably a step ahead, the middle and lower parts are very weak. This site has a more solid base of talent. So i would say "very good" in comparison.

Sorry but the GoldMic elite are so overrated. A few on this site could murder all of them. The good GM vets (Intro, Metaphive, One Der) have either retired properly or just given up because the site's so overrun with retards.
