Here's another example of the tightness of this community...

I was participating in a thread where someone had posted a picture of a very skinny woman. Some of the members were appalled and disgusted by the state of the woman and someone went so far as to say the person responsible for having her walk down the modeling runway should be charged with some sort of crime. I thought that was taking it a bit too far, but I chose to bite my tongue rather than get into a heated argument about the exploitation of the anorexic model.

I did, however, take the time to compare the woman to this insect...




Afterwards I took a stroll over to the Never-Ending Rap Thread and watched some of the boys do their stuff.

They were all there: quietstorm7, spitting venom, iaintnodj, mcee fyee, dj quik kid, spitting venom, and the rest of the group.

dj quik kid had just finished a particularly enthralling rap and I chose that moment to jump into the mix and post a picture of the aforementioned insect and asked him if he would be kind enough to compose a rap about said insect.

dj quik kid's response was punctual and polite. He wrote...




w/e sure i'll do it



its a lil insect that knows how to blend in
it's useful cuz it's life aint gon be endin
it can hide in trees and you would neva see where its at
it hides from all sorts of animals from birds to bats
it got slim limbs so you know it's limber
the thing dope at cammoflaugein against timber
only time it's in trouble is if somebody burns it to a cinder


sorry it's so short it's jus a weird topic

Not only a beautiful tribute to the insect but also a gentle reminder that all of the denizens of this community are there for each other when the time arises.

I thanked dj quik kid for his contribution and I would like to ask all of you to say hi to dj quik kid if you cross paths and to compliment him on his insect rap.

Thanks for listening.

Gustav.
