It is always a surprise coming to class and seeing what we are doing for that day. Last week we were pleased to find two guest speakers, Invincible and Wajeed. Two very talented artists with what seemed to be a long resume. Both are in the rapping industry but chose to not go with record labels and to basically take the “under ground” route. Invincible even turned down the chance to do a song with Madonna, which I cannot imagine but major props to her for turning that down because it was not the path she wanted to follow. I was very impressed by the way Wajeed and especially Invincible presented them. They were both very sure of them selves which made them interesting to watch because they knew what they were talking about. I thought it was great that we got to hear about how social networking has helped them promote their music. It gives us in the class another perspective of what we have been learning for the last couple months. Invincible also shared with us the struggles that she had while trying to promote one of her songs to mtv U because of the “content”. The content that they were referring to is a serious subject with most people and it needs to be addressed which she does beautifully in her song “Ropes.” When the song finally did get on mtv U it was amazing how her fans stuck by her to help her do it.
