Truth Nation: Hopsin
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 .
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
