it is a dope music and video. congrats!!! it is a real hip hop. it is dope!
but… well… i´m a video editor and a mother as well. i´ve thought a lot about tv´s stuff, you know? i was a potential suicide when teen. among crisis, suicidal people needs to grab onto something to keep living. if we find something that fits with our anguish, so, man… it is hard to stay alive. tv spreads ideas but people doesn´t think about that they see. everyone knows that, sure? people just “eat” that they see. it is pretty complicated to put this video on morning or afternoons tv´s schedule. BUT… under advises at late night, so, it will be pretty good! maybe, MTV gives you a letter of recommendation stating you to a big recorder. ask them it.
plus… if you think about… this case already helps you spread your word. i´m from brazil and i got knowing about you and your good work!
keep strong and talented as you really are!!!

Leave it to MTV to push wrath, greed and lust and neglect those who need support…N.O.T.W.

There’s no question about the moral and artistic value of this video. The real debate is why MTV wants to bamboozle people with this fake hand wringing moralizing. They clearly care about money not morals.

it wud’ve been dope if mtvu played the video because it wud give folks who consider suicide hopefully drops of hope to hear someone speaking to them directly and to know that there are others who understand and people with open arms. i believe in “ropes” because it’s sweetly bullhorning the unheard; dealing with one of many shadows that folks avoid. we need to hear invincible’s words; she always comes with the necessary! without giving the video any air play, on mtvu which is seen nationwide on college campus’ televisions or even simply mtv which is also seen internationally, prolongs festering wounds; mtv’s standards department mind as well pour some salt on it.
