When crew sections were WAY more active then LL and actually cared about their place. Sure, caring about something on the net was kinda whack, but the fact that everyone worked their ass off in every battle and actually battled and improved at a fast rate was dope.

Strange enough, I think it was when everyone switched to audio that the site started getting whack. It was no longer in your control to show exactly how dope you were just by your material, but then you had to have the best equipment and quality and people put more hype into that than the music itself. That's not the only thing of course but it's a commonly overlooked point at which the site fell.
