in-class special guest

After being absent the prior week,I expected this to be a miserable day in class trying to caught up. Because I was casually late (chem lab across campus took too long) I walked in to see 3 people in the room. Invincible and Waajeed were a surprise guest. I was confused as to why they were here in our class until they began talking about who they were and where they came from and what they did.

Their work with their music was inspiring with how they presented it and what it was about. Watching the music video wasn't like other garbage rap videos. Most rap videos are now vulgar and profane, but they made their's to be a story. "Detroit Summer" was surprisingly catchy to me. About a week later, it's still stuck in my head with the toe-tapping beat. MTV's judgement on their other video was absolutely ridiculous. If they can put the crap they do on the air, I don't see how they can turn down a video because it has a message about a realistic issue.

On the YouTube page for their video, 99% of their feedback and comments say how good it was and how they were impressed. I never understood what the "underground" scene was or what it sounded like but by what I have witnessed, I may have to look into it.


"this is fuckin sick. Invincible is the essence of hip hop. Hard rhymes, original flow. Whatup doe, keep doing your thing. Shapeshifters was life changing, and this video clearly shows you aint steppin down for shit. peace out"


"I Love the one shot 2 shot beat remixed to this. Lyrics are amazing, flow is great."
