Album de la semaine: Invincible - Shapeshifters

Diction's review:

@@@1/2

Lyrics: 4.0
Beats: 3.5


The fist time I heard Invincible was in 2005 at the jazzfest where the Platinum Pied Pipers were performing a free show. They brought their extended family and this included Invincible who was ripping verses while Waajeed was pumping beats out of his MPC. Waajeed then mentioned that Detroit had the hottest beats and at that time I didn't understand what he meant cause J Dilla was pretty much the only other producer from the D that I knew. He was right tho, cause now in 2008 no one is really fucking with the Detroit sound. It's the most original and effective sound, Detroit is where it's at. For her debut album Invincible brought a 100% Detroit sound as this is what she reps. There's a few beats by Black Milk and there's a few beats by Waajeed but everybody brings some dope shit and I'm especially impressed by the work of the Lab Techs (Athletic Mic League). The beats are phat and just up to date with what's happening, not lost on that 03' Kanye West sound like too many acts to count. Invincible might be a girl (lesbian too?), but she's just in a league of her own when it comes to rapping. Her flow, technique and wordplay is nearly flawless, she's just really good at rapping. She's got punchlines like: "I'm striving to be one of the best period, not just one of the best with breast and a period" but she's also got a political edge which makes the song very interesting to listen to on top of the dope beats. This is some of that '08 hip hop for dat ass, a record not to sleep on if you plan on complaining that the year was shit in december.
