I know, but I was definitely wanting to build this fortnightly battle into something quite big, so was hoping each battle would get a few more participants each time. The Stonesthrow battle group seems to get 80-100 beats each time, and they only have 5500 members on their forums compared to our 43,000.
I do appreciate their battles started a few years ago, plus they are are famous label etc, so it's nowhere near like-for-like, but it's nice to have a goal
TBH, I've not done anywhere near enough to promote this, so I will work on that. I guess in the scheme of things, it's still early days.
Anyway, I'm very happy with the quality of work being submitted, some real gems and hopefully more to come.
Sally made the suggestion that I put some kind of countdown timer at the top of the forum, so that people were always aware of the battle deadline - I think that will also generate some additional attention.
BTW, it would be nice to see some of the loudmouths from off topic/Ren forum join in on the next battle. Less talk, more beats....
Yeah, I heard that bass line and it caught my ear, then i noticed dude was talking about his sister and just started laughing
