Truth Nation: Hopsin


Captain Marin

1,891 views

Hopsin, the Black Slim Shady, Mister Oh-No, Pillow Man, the self-proclaimed Spider-Man of Rap, and the Crowned King of All Rawness, as all of his fans view him. His real name is Marcus and his last name is, coincidentally, Hopson (what a creative Stage Name). Anyways, I was just roaming through some Denace songs and videos, haters were accusing Denace of copying Eminem and as I rebutted their failed attempts of an insult, they redirected me to Hopsin.

The first song I checked out of Hopsin was Ill Mind 5, the best track Hopsin has ever produced. I thought of his lines, rhymes, and lyricism as child's play. He kept on rhyming one-syllable words, flow was the same, beat was awesome (sadly it wasn't produced by him), but he spoke the truth. At first, I thought of Hopsin as a good, not great, but good emcee. Then I heard of his history, checked out his old songs and the Raw Album. And my opinion completely changed about him.

I thought of him as a hypocrite, a Eminem Bite-Off, the Hero of the Cheesy Lines Association of Hip-Hop, the !@#$%-Ass Loudmouth, the Miles Morales of Rap. His fans take him as one of the greatest of all and the founder of a new era in Hip-Hop, but let us take a moment. Hopsin was first signed in to Ruthless Records, his debut album did bad, and accused the Queen of Ruthless (aka Eazy E's wife) of being such a bad manager. He, then, goes on to create a record label and disses the !@#$ out of her because his debut album did poorly. First off, he blames, blames, and blames. Accuses, accuses against others. He believes everyone, and I mean everyone, as the ones held responsible for corruption and is too !@#$% to take sole responsibility.

1. Please Dont Be A !@#$%* and Dont Disrespect the Wife of One of the Greatest (And Sadly Deceased) MCs of the 90s, Pay Respect

How in the flying $%&@ are you going to diss the wife of a legendary rapper that is dead!?!? Of course, maybe Hopsin didn't make as much money as expected and blamed Ruthless for its failure, but didn't Hopsin consider that maybe, just maybe, that his debut album sucked? İNah, that cant be, Hopsin is so $%&@in rad. Everything he makes is dope. Everyone sucks, everyone has issues bEsides Hopsin, you know why, because Hopsin is RAW! As he claims to be a hardcore fan of 90s Rap, that was mostly dominated by Dr.Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, those same artists that I've mentioned have made tens and tens of songs dissing Ruthless and was Hopsin's favorite rappers. Hopsin claims to be a conspiracy theorist, and all rap conspiracy theorists know that Eazy-E's beef with Dre settled down and he was thinking in leaving Ruthless (that is up until he coincidentally, at the time, got AIDS and died). Out of all the songs of his favorite rappers that were Anti-Ruthless and Eazy-E's trait of thought in departing from Ruthless, why in the flying $%&@ did he sign to $%&@in Ruthless in the first place!? If he was so intellectual as he claims he is, why didn't he read the contract, look at the amount he was going to be payed, instead of just signing in to the contract and complaining about the paycheck when you were informed on the spot. And Hop, dont complain how life is a !@#$%*, you diss rappers for no reason. You want respect? Earn it!

2. Hopsin Is A Coward

Hopsin dissed many rappers. Many many many many rappers, and about two of them replied. He and Tyer the Creator actually beefed. And to be honest, both put up a good fight, especially Tyler, but the battle was a draw since both rappers are equally fake and stupid. Then there is Soulja Boy. Hopsin called Soulja Biy cheesy and accused him of being a puppet, then Soulja replied. After Soulja replied, Hopsin did not respond to it. How in the flying hell can you start beef, then not end it? Hop called this guy out, Soulja, being a million times more whacker than Tyler, dissed him back, and Hopsin was pussied out. İFrom the words of the wise Pitbull, "do not start what you can't finish"!

3. Lyricism

The lyricism of this kid is as simplistic as that of a kindergartner could get. His rhymes are mostly one-syllable, and consists of the same flow as demonstrated in his Raw Album, and I'd bet my 10-year old brother can write better and more complex lyrics than him. Just because Hopsin talks about the illuminati and disses mainstream artists, it doesnt mean he is lyrical. Such as:

I'm the illest and that's fo' shizzle

My flow sizzles, yo boy Hop go hard like some cold nipples (İLyricism at its finest!)

You !@#$%* are making it so simple

My swag makes the ladies wave like fat stomachs with bold ripples (Oh the hypocrisy in this line!)

Cause I get buck like my Kool Aid's got way too much sugar in it (The worst. metaphor. ever.)

You better run like I'm booger flicking (Is this supposed to be funny?)

I'm the !@#$%* that Hollywood barely noticed

For pullin' cards, it's easy as sockin' on Gary Coleman (Your point is?)

I came and left but now I'm finna re-enter

Shiver-me-timbers, how the $%&@ can a !@#$%* be realer? (A !@#$%* can be realer if he stays true to his beliefs and does not overuse the same cheesy phrase he always does)

I don't know but my flow, is so cold, mistah oh no (Mr. Oh No? Hopstans, expect a song named like this. This is a poor clone to Eminem's Mr Dont Give A $%&@)

Anyone can rhyme words, but it rare that emcees invent smart rhyme schemes, awesome wordplay, and top it off with an impressive flow.

3. White Contacts

Hopsin, stop trying to make a fashion statement and cut off the contacts. We all know you bit that style from Method Man such as how you bit off Eminem.

*rolls eyes*

4. Do You Expect To Go Harder Than Eminem By Copying His Style?

If you think this statement is bogus, go compare the Real Slim Shady and/or Marshall Mathers LPs to that of Raw. It is funny how this guy tries to copy Shady yet he bites his own tongue trying to do so.

5. Hypocrisy

This man is the most hypocritical and fake rapper I have ever witnessed and heard of. He raps about violence, promotes it, then randomly, he starts preachng in Nocturnal Rainbows and Ill Mind 5 how the world is so corrupt and only through him will be how to revive the grace of Mother Earth and renaissance her. He first disses the $%&@ out of every mainstream rapper and Ruthless Records,makes ludicrous music videos that are so stupid (note: Hopsin directs his own music videos), makes horrorcore tracks like Kill Her, preach, and then go back in making horrorcore songs like Kill Her, Doo Doo Pants and Sag My Pants?

So drugs and sluts are a useless, stupid, and immature topic to rap about, but murder and rape isn't?

Hopsin, you remind me of my parents. You know your stuff, you know what is good for rap and what isn't, but the trouble with you is that you aren't man enough to set an example and whenever we commit the same mistake you do, you trip over it and become Grandpa Louis and rant how these youngsters are a pain in the ass. You want to fix the lives of millions? Then fix your own. You want these kids to be more mature? then mature up yourself. Stop !@#$%^&*ting us and set an example for us. You want to be a role model?then leave the rap game forever and never come back. In rap, it's all about who is the illest and hardest, and for one to do that, you need to make yourself look divine and make others look like idiots. And to top it all off, how can you spend one whole album and one song and your whole life vociferating that the mainstream sucks ass, and then make a song like Doo Doo Pants?!

Fun Fact: Hopsin got arrested three months after he released Ill Mind 5 :ehm: .

And just to sugar coat it all, you know how Hopsin says that he isn't in Hip-Hop for the money? He says he now wants out of the rap game, he experienced it and believes it is brutal, but then, he says that "there is too much money involved to leave". Hopsin, do you not trust Swizzle or Dizzy to handle Funk Volume? Were you not in the music, just for the music? It isn't hard to just walk away from a 500 thousand dollars, take 100k of them to go to college and finally be the role model you always wanted to be and make that same amount of money you had before.

Now, for the Hector/Captain Marin/Crusade Bash Festival hosted by the dickriders of Marchus :popcorn:

Let's be real, if this was true, you'd also have to say the same for Game's whack ass responding to Eazy's whack ass son. Eazy's wife pissed Hopsin off, and it isn't like there was no reason.

2. Hopsin Is A Coward

Actually, he just wants everyone's name in his mouth. And he's doing a good ass job of it.

3. White Contacts

Your comment here is dull as every rapper has bit off other rappers.

4. Do You Expect To Go Harder Than Eminem By Copying His Style?

Again, Eminem does not have a unique style. He is viewed that way because he's the first white guy to rap that way.

5. Hypocrisy

Next you're going to tell me Lil B has a horrible flow and annoying voice. You can say parody isa bad way to counter something, but Bioshock was a great portrayal of how libertarians work.

I hate repeating myself:

1.

And Hop, dont complain how life is a !@#$%*, you diss rappers for no reason.

4. I admit Eminem kind of bit off of 2Pac in the Eminem Show and Masta Ace in Infinite and partly Slim Shady LP, but I saw originality in Marshall Mathers LP (and Recovery, and Hell the Sequel, but that's irrelevant), and that is the album where Raw mostly bit off of Eminem. The dude should just grow some balls, stop being lazy, and invent his own identity; present something to the hip-hop world, something rap never experienced.

5. I mean this at the deepest respect possible, but I dont know how that comment is relevant with Hop being a hypocrite.

1.

If you only get one contract offer, then you have to deal with what you can. Ultimately, Funk Volume could have offered him less money and more freedom, or a larger cut in any tour sales.

4. Eminem has taken small pieces from other styles that you might not notice until you look deeper. Intentional or not, everyone bites. Hell, Kanye has made a living off a producing style where multiple samples appear on most tracks, only a lot are tweaked to the point you don't actually pick up on them being direct samples.

5. I'm saying that rapping about violence in a grotesque, humorous way is akin to how Lil B raps. It isn't promotion, it's parody. A lot of horrorcore is serious, but you can tell from his interviews that Hopsin is a smart guy who's just having fun with his raps and making fun of the !@#$ he doesn't like.

5. I know, but that is different. I am not seeing Lil B making one song dedicating in youth redemption and seriously considering preaching as a career as Hopsin is doing as we speak. It is ludicrous in dissing mainstream rappers because of their immature topics, yet Hopsin picks the topic that is the most crucial and pointless of them all to talk about unless it is rap battle: violence, murder and rape. I know Hop wouldn't seriously do all those things he claims he did/does in Raw, but there are some people that need that extra push to motivate them to act that way since music reaches a closer connection to a person better than anything else, and if it doesn't, it gets them thinking about that. I listened to the Marshall Mathers LP Album as a whole, and as I was hearing the LP there was a random thought of me raping some chick in my class that was sexy as $%&@, and that was when I was like "Woah" and just avoided that kind of music for a good week or so.

Eh, whatever. Hopsin isn't going to inspire the next psychopath (at least Hopsin by himself won't) unless Lil Wayne goes off the deep end and strangle him or something. It's a form of art, and you can do whatever you want with art, including parody the Chief Keef type rappers out there.

He's actually pretty good, and he raps about serious topics. Unlike most of the rappers of today.

Yes, but the countless amounts of hypocrisy this Hopsin guy has committed proves that he isn't as real as he says he is:

1. "A real !@#$%* dont brag about being real as long as he knows it"

I strongly agree with this belief Hopsin has said in Ill Mind 5, but if you dont follow what you say, dont say it at all.

"I'm Hopsin, I spit !@#$ so unfair and real."

"I been told you !@#$%*, Im real"

2. Ill Mind 5

I do endorse the overall subject Hopsin emphasizes in this song, with the topic being that sex and drugs are immature and overused topics to discuss in the rap game, but he is also emphasizing another topic. He is claiming that sex and drugs are immature topics to rap about, but not rape, murder, and violence? So in Ill Mind 5, he subliminally says that he'd rather see a bunch of guys who have been bullied upon rape victims and harass innocents than a bunch of swaggots (swag + !@#$%^) getting high and drinking booze from what he's been putting out lately. Is that about right?

Not to mention he got arrested 3 months after Ill Mind 5.

3. Doo Doo Pants

Joke or not joke, he isn't supposed to be releasing this type of music after Ill Mind 5. How can one make one song, and mention in various tracks and interviews, that sex and drugs are stupid topics to rap about and he who raps about it is whack and poisoning the souls of many, but then he comes up with this !@#$%^&* and goes back on his word? And even though if it was a joke, he dissed many many many rappers because of producing this type of music. As he said that rapping about sex, drugs, and money injects venom to a kid's/teenagers mind, why would he be doing that same exact thing he criticizes many rappers for doing?

4. Signing Dizzy Wright

Dizzy promotes the usage of marijuana and raps about that, along with sexual intercourse, in his songs. If Hopsin was so underground and was against mainstream, why would he sign a rapper that endorses the same products Hopsin despises.

5. Funk Volume

Hopsin has claimed that he isn't in the rap game for the fame and fortune, he's in it because he thinks he's the savior and believes he's been granted a power that can help the world. But as he is saying that, he also says that he despises what Funk Volume has become, wants out of the rap game, but he cant since there is too much money involved. Okay, so if he isnt in the game for the dough, wouldn't he be giving out his tracks for free and simply walk away from the moolah? Hopsin, you say your n sell-out, claim your not in it for the money, yet you hate what FUnk Volume has become and deny to walk away since your eyes and greed is stuck at the view of the stack of stache in your mom's basement?!

And to sum it all up, here is one song from the Jokerr that pretty much sums up this entry in under 5-6 minutes. Enjoy!

Dizzy is unique if nothing else. I can't be bothered to dissect the rest at the moment, but listen to Dizzy go in on Young Jedi by Logic. He's more like Wale, he sneaks high-quality bars in under the guise of swag rap. I mean, people thought Wale's Chain Music was really about his !@#$@#$ chains.

Really? Young Jedi was a horrible track lyrically. The instrumental and flow of Logic went H.A.M, but Dizzy Wright ruined this track. I heard his lyrics various, various, various, and various of times, went to rap genius, I saw nothing genuine nor creative in Dizzy's verse. Logic had an awesome flow, but his lyricism flopped all over the place.

Not to mention that Logic sees himself as Goku and Darth Vader's heavy breathing is used in this track, noting that this track is ironically titled "Young Jedi".

That track was nothing but a failed attempt of a song to catch the eye of the mainstream.

While I think anyone who says there not in the Rap game is full of !@#$, and that Hopsin has contradicted himself several times. You cannont deny that he speaks the truth in his songs. It's been a while since we've had positive rappers.
