This MMA community has many non-MMA threads already.  Music, Jokes, baseball, football, etc.

So, I thought it might serve a purpose to create a thread for all the other contributions to each other's lives that don't fit anywhere else.

Do you have something that would enrich the community culturally?  Maybe dance, comedy, nutritional, inspirational, arresting visuals?  But please let's keep this positive, and appropriate to the general public.

Maybe a video clip of a movie, broadway show, highly unusual, utterly creative, a cutting edge piece of information, a new computer application, or something that would make someone's life better or richer.

He has a style that I just don't like at all, some of his beats are the only thing that makes some tracks listenable.  He has the same problem as Gucci and waka did. I just don't like their flow.  Although that one track Swick posted was ok.  

Since I used to produce the actual music itself is 70% of the track to me.  Lyrics not so much.  But that just proves how much I dislike his style.  He probably has a bunch of good tracks too, but my stubbornness won't allow me to try him out more.

Talent with most rappers is mainley based on opinion though.  He is obviously talented enough to start a damn movement on a mma website.

Insect Wars: Giant Centipede attacking a snake

Who would have thought?  A centipede?  Yet, here is the biggest one you ever saw, killing a snake.

Centipedes have venom glands and huge pincers to inject their prey with.  They can grow up to 12 inches long.

@Brazilian Jitz  If you reported his post, then you're a complete, 100% *******.  And your opinion offends me so much, that I just reported your post!  Touche, amiga.

Since when were you appointed subjective opinion police?  

If someone were alone on an island with only one tapology thread to read for the rest of their life, how could anyone choose any other thread and not go insane.  This thread is the broadest, widest, deepest, most interesting thread on this site, and has no close seconds.  Only those with closed minds could say or think any different.

When the **** would I be alone on an island and have only one tapology thread? That is beyond the most ridiculous things I've ever heard in my life. This is an MMA site. If I could choose one thread from Tapology, it would be MMA related, not a bunch of copy and paste links from Wikipedia on Jim Thorpe...

Since when was I appointed subjective opinion police? I'm calling out Tapology members for help. If you think this thread is stupid - or - not stupid, but totally pointless, please give me a thumbs up.

If you think this is the greatest, most in depth thread on Tapology, please, I implore you to downthumb me.

Of course this is ridiculous.  But why would anyone report a post for lauding a thread?  

But I'll play your silly nonsense.  If anyone thinks that reporting a post for complimenting this thread is silly and dumb, please up-vote this post.  If you think he was justified to report this thread for lauding this thread, then down-arrow this post.

Now his victory is complete!  We're in the kindergarten sandbox, eating mud-pies. My mud taste better than yours.

And if someone were alone on an island, where would they get wifi or a computer, and why would they have just one thread available?  And if they had just one thread available from an MMA site, why choose an MMA thread?  Just doesn't make sense.
