Video: Invincible “Ropes” feat. Tiombe Lockhart

let it soak in 3 times… aside from Invincible’s sick flow, it’s great to see musicians and artists continue to push issues that get shut out by mainstream media. the subject is definitely haunting. we have to stop walking away from our battles if we want to make this world worth bearing children. even if we can’t all get together at a table and discuss, putting the ideas out there for people to intercept will subconsciously confront all of us on an individual level, and our collective conscious will ensure we stand up for what’s right in the end. can’t wait to kick it with this girl in Detroit at AMC.

LOCAL 782 REPRESENT!

RE: ‘that guy’

it’s fixed.. thanks

For real? We can get blasted with meaningless images of hyper consumption, women hatin and materialism but we can’t get 5 minutes of real talk? This video needs to be in heavy rotation. We need to stop hiding and instead seek talk about racism, sexism, and the rest of the isms. Too many want to pretend they don’t exist or that we are “post racial”..This video is on point..I see you Invincible!!

Wow… this is amazing. Nothing else to say. Thanks for speakin’ up for the youth who have mental health issues – not only is it largely ignored, but in many countries around the world it’s not even acknowledged .

This video is dope as hell. Congrats to Invincible on a great vid.

Keep up the good work. Did you ever need an MTV stamp to get to where you are?
Brazil is listening…

music with a purpose.

Guns and Glamor talk is always glorified by mainstream but something that is so real and personal that hits people on a mass scale all of a sudden becomes too controversial? The people of MTV have skeletons they don’t want to confront. They need more distractions with big booty’s and shiny objects. It eases the pain.

As always your work is amazing. I’m blessed by it.

My brother and I were just talkin’ about suicide in our hood. It’s real. Either people around Chester kill themselves using drugs, guns or careless sex. And not a single church in town will directly touch these issues. I could write about it all day but…

It’s a shame that quality music is kept underground by these big corporate rock heads! All the crazy, indecent and stupid videos they publish on MTV and they have a problem with somethin’ that is raw, real and thoughtful? Is that the best excuse they could come up with? They are probably more so afraid of your potency in meaningful lyrics.

Keep doin’ your thing.

I don’t get it. How the fuck can peeps talk themselves into this, I can’t believe that people actually believe invincible is good.

“eff mtv, for real. you don’t need them. when do they ever play music anyway – mtv is just a load of corporate bullshit and rubbish and monopolization” – Hena

We live in a capitalist society. Unless you forgot.

I am a young adult male and I have been dealing with depression personally. I didn’t start getting help until a year ago. I realized that everything I was feeling had been that way for years. I gave in to the accepted norms and was embarassed at first to get help. I thought about suicide but it wasn’t solution for me. People I know have committed suicide or attempted. As a black male if you cant deal with shit emotionally, the perception is your a punk or a pussy. Real talk your human. The only problem I have with the song is it doesn’t offer a solution. Maybe there could be a follow up to it or something! Great start this segment of our culture needs some light. Detroit Stand Up!!

Dope video!!!

fantastic effort. amazing song. dj crossfader can hum on these nuts..but, everyone is entitled to what they think.

This vid: Problematic? No. Poetic? Yes. Forget MTV. They try to mainstream everything, getting rid of the rough edges. But if rough edges exist in our society, they must be addressed. BIG UP for those who actually give a sh*t and step up to the plate.

PEACE,FROM THE BAY!

“ROPES”=SOUNDS HELLA GOOD

COME VIBE;
KIN CAMELL(GOOGLE THAT)

PEACE TO YOU & YOURS

solid like always, good work. mtv’s just as fulla shit as ever. i’d expect them to balk at running anything about palestine, but i’m really surprised this was “problematic” for them. and yeah, should be talked about.

mtv wants to avoid suicide lawsuits. http://tinyurl.com/c85kvh

Great content and delivery from Invincible as usual – keep up the great work and stay true to yourself! As for MTV… their priorities are so bass-ackwords. They’ll play an entire half-hour show glorifying violence (i.e., Bully Beatdown), yet won’t play a 3 minute video that can help open up discussions about this topic. Thanks for shedding light. Detroit is proud of you!

Suicidal overtones was not the reason MTV would not play this. This video could not get played on MTV for the following reasons:
1. The track is too dope – MTV doesn’t like real hip-hop
2. The subject matter is too deep for the average MTV brain.
(if a 10 year old can’t understand it, MTV won’t show it)
3. Your flow is too nice – MTV likes wack rappers.
4. You actually have a subject revolving around your song – MTV wants you to talk about rims, cribs, cash and chix.
5. The track is dope – (oops, I already said that:)
6. You didn’t have ONE BOOTY SHOT in your video!!! (an MTV standard!!)
7. The track wasn’t produced by Kanye, Neptunes or Timbaland, therefore MTV can’t hype it without the “regular sound”.

Feel good about your video because it’s original and it gets plenty OKP love.

Ashe. Thank you for doing your divine work and never letting the machine stop you. Much love and much respect.

mtv has lost all respect for me. i will never fucking support that trash again. one thing is never playing good music, glamorizing emptyheaded rich kids, then only playing shit music in 7 second intervals, etc. but actually putting down a real mc for such a shoddy, bitch reason? FUCK EM.

much respect to invincible, best female in the game. peace.

Definitely a banger! (but you know that) Love what you doing. Keep hittin em.
