- www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with Hopsin at his studio. Part 3 of this very candid interview starts with Hopsin telling Nick Huff Barili what inspired him to write ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 6. "I had a friend that I grew up with...he was like one of the closest friends I ever had in my life...he got into crystal meth and he started hanging out with the wrong people...eventually he went down the wrong road...and overdosed a few times." Hopsin details how crystal meth not only effected his friend but those around him. Hopsin wanted to release this cautionary tail in memory of his homie and to awaken fans who might be going down the same road. Hopsin goes on to address RUclips comments that claim that he is "preachy" by stating that he is everything. "I'm preachy. I'm goofy. I'm looney. I'm emo. I'm a hardcore rapper. I'm a softcore rapper. I'm everything. I'm a f@#$ing Human. I have many emotions...Whatever my emotions are feeling that's what I do." Hopsin states that he produced all of the Knock Madness album and that the only non Funk Volume appearance on the album is Tech N9ne. While talking about features on the album Hopsin said that Macklemore was one of the artists that he wanted to get but that the timing didn't work out. Hop goes on to address Lord Jamar's statements that Macklemore is pursing some kind of "Gay Agenda" and that whites should not have a say in Hip Hop because they did not create it and should "stay in their lane". Hopsin says that Hip Hop has evolved. "Its about humans being equal. That shouldn't be brought up. That's racist...Its 2013 is somebody really talking like that?" Hop says that Eminem changed his life and inspired him to "become something more than what I was." When asked what he thinks of the new tracks Eminem has put out (Rap God, Berzerk), Hop states that he prefers the older Slim Shady but that he will like anything that Eminem puts out because that is how big of a fan he is.
We are just getting started. We talked to Hopsin for more than 2 hours as he opened up about a series of topics. Tune in next week for part 4 with Hopsin only at www.hardknock.tv

"I'm just about humans being equal. That shouldn't even be brought up."
Well said Hop.
You can tell Hopsin is a good person. I would love to have the opportunity to meet him one day
who wouldn't
niknatural I have it's on my channel
Sam Dorrell you lucky son of a bite
Crayzay 925 hahahha best night of my life man
Sam Dorrell alright, alright. I get it. It's not every day you get to hang out with a guy like hopsin, but come on.
You can definitely hear the eminem influence through his music but at the same time hopsin has developed his own style completely.. props to him
LOL, and you could hear Tupac through Eminem’s music and style
@@BrianSapp945 and? lol
"eminem is 50 percent of the rap game if you ask me."
LOL i fuckin agree.
i thought it was funny that his 3 fav eminem songs were on 3 different albums lol
He's 98% haha, and Hopsin was saying he wouldn't have it in him to diss Eminem, he's also thinking but too scared to say if he even tried to diss Eminem he Hopsin knows that it would be the end of his career haha ;)
WTF??? 50% OF THE RAP GAME??? R U KIDDING ME WITH THAT BULLCRAP???
Lifa Mngomezulu Actually 90% .
MMLP2 was ASSS though, and that's not just my opinion lol
Em and Hopsin need to make an album!
+How Not To Waste Ones Time and Stuff or Em's Sins
Steven Michael Hopsin wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for Em, you can hear how much Hopsin is inspired by Ems early albums. He talks about it a lot too.
no men they should not
That what I've been saying
That would be a dream come true!!!
Dude I have mad respect for this guy. Clear concise answers with real, visible enthusiasm and a huge smile all the way through. This is how it should be, not that comprehensible bs.
Quality guy.
Lmao
Man the both of y’all sound corny as hell 😂😭🤡
I like how down to earth he is! not fake
I have to agree on that ! ^^
Yea
I love this guy, he's incredibly intelligent, his social consciousness at large is refreshing, and he strives for excellence. Now THAT's dope.
You forgot he sags his pants low.
@@Flamingpiano wow
one of the few rappers that actually talk normal. its good it kinda makes them look smart
+TheHarslord he just does not look 'normal'
+TheHarslord Just not putting on a persona I guess
+R.G. Stentje he looks much better then just normal no one out there knows that tho... and they most likey never will :(
did the song he created with his friends ever release?
+williss11 not sure what you're saying but I think you want" the ill mind of hopsin 6"
the thing that most impresses me about hop is that he is always smiling during the whole interview, even when he speaks about fucked up situations, that's cool man
I cried when he said he was a die hard fan of Eminem, because I am too. Eminem has changed my perspective on life, been listening to him since I was basically born and I am 17 now, I know I am young, but with all the shit I have been through going to his music helps, and Hopsin is also very amazing himself, I don't listen to rap like that I only listen to Eminem, other then him I listen to country, and some types of rock.
He's so intelligent and has his mind in the right place. He deserves more recognition.
Nope he’s phony I knew he wouldn’t make it for long without the gimmicky colored contacts he done for life…
Hopsin is the man
Em should sign him to Shady Records. He perfect for the label.
I think this was the most honest Interview i ve ever watched ...the things he talkin about are serious And true man... Equality for everyone !!!
I just met him yesterday at Six Flags. I talked to him for maybe 3 minutes but my life is forever changed. He may be whack but he's a role model. One of the most down to earth people I've ever met. Do you Hop. I'll always be a fan
LOL "even if he collab with Soulja Boy"
If Hopsin, Eminem, and Tech N9ne made a song together, the world- no, the galaxy would catch fire!
Hopsin, Eminem, Tech, Crooked I, Logic,
+brandon goodwin logic is garbage
+brandon goodwin you can't have like 8 rappers in 1 song lol
+Josh DiBacco oldies by Odd Future did it 😂
+Josh DiBacco sure you can. nwa lookin at yall
i think that if eminem and hopsin made a song it would be the best hiphop song ever made.
I relate to Hopsins story and music so much. And I’m thankful for him as an artist. He’s not afraid to put his pain out there in his lyrics and musical works for the world to hear and relate to. And if you don’t relate, well guess what, he didn’t make it for you anyway. That takes courage you know. He is a true artist, in every sense of the word.
As someone who has seen many close friends take dark paths, many not just lost but buried, starting from when I was a child, then when my friends and I we were in our early teens and early 20s, I 💯 relate to what Hop is saying here. Many were lost to drugs and overdoses, many to illness and disease, one to murder, one to a car accident, one to suicide, one an ex husband who just died in January of Covid along with his mother within days of each other, and as someone who lost perhaps the greatest friend I’ve ever had, my father who died two years ago, I can tell you it never hurts less. The saying that time heals all wounds is BS. You just learn to live with the pain, and put it away, so you’re able to go on living. But those memories hurt forever. I’m teared up just writing this.
The first friend I lost was when I was 6 and he was 7. His name was Tyler Buckman. An only child, he was like a brother to me. My Mom babysat him when his mom was at work. So we spent every day together. Then he got sick. He died two years later from Leukemia. My son Tyler is named after him. Then the summer I was 14, a dear friend of mine who was 15, Chad Wyman, was brutally murdered. The last time we spoke we left off on a not good note. And then he was dead. And he died in a horrific way. It broke me at the time. It changed me. I mourn him to this day. Then it was just loss after loss after loss. Lost a lot if friends to heroin and cocaine. One to drunk driving. Two, brothers, lost to alcohol mixed with their lifelong diabetes which resulted in organ and kidney failure in their 30’s. They died just a couple years ago. Then one of the brothers wives died a year after her husband from an overdose that was likely intentional. A lot of friends and loved ones lost to mental illness, and one friend who just could not take the weight of clinical depression anymore and tragically ended her own life when we were 23, substance abuse and overdose, recklessness and disease. And the losses continued the rest of my life all the way to now. Almost all my old friends and all my family are dead. My Uncle died just this past December from cancer, two years to the day that my Dad passed.
But all is not lost. Because what it all taught me is, never leave things on a bad note with the people you love. You never know when the last time you speak to someone is the very last time you will ever speak to them. Life is short, tomorrow isn’t promised, love and live like each day is a gift, be kind and emotionally generous to those you love, tell them you love them, hug them, tell and show them how much they mean to you, live every day like it’s your last. Because one day, it really will be. And someone will be writing a RUclips comment about how much they miss you. 😢
The fact that you named your baby after Tyler shows how amazing you are, that is such a beautiful tribute to someone you loved. I am very sorry for your losses. You are very brave and a beautiful soul. I wish the best to you your loved ones
Hopsin seems like a pretty cool dude
It's impressive how he can relate every question to his music. That shows how true he is and his truth is what sets him apart from the rest of the industry. He is also really smart you can see it in him. Hop, keep doing you because you're doing it right.
Hop loves Role Model? That's tight! It happens to be my favorite track.
i actually like the contacts, it makes him different.
hopsin is seriously such a huge idol to me, he's all around amazing.
Hell yeah Hopsin... I knew I liked this kid, after watching this, I know he's an artist I can truly respect. Fuck the haters.
Eminem is like 50% of fucking rap game if you ask me"-Hopsin. I like Em and he is for sure one of the best (my opinion ).I like Hopsin he is dope as fuck and he is one of best rappers in the game right now (my opinion ).
+Alex Enceanu Copy that.
hyperbox100 ✌
***** who is "fucking dumbass"?
***** Yeah. 50% is too much. Hopsin is a huge Eminem fan.
***** I don't know. Rap is so fucking big.
hopsin ft eminem would be fucking sick
+Cruciator stfu loseer
+Cruciator you a dumb nigga
+Nuclear Brony he did one already its dope af
lol bitch where
William Cloutier haha lmao
Even if Em make THE wackest song collab with Soulja boy~~~LMAO
What?
+Allen Paul LMFAO this nigga really hates Soulja Boy
If Eminem and Hopsin make a song together
that would be really awesome
Eminem, Hopsin, Yela Wolf, Kendrick, and tech n9ne. i think the world might explode. #stan im a stan lol
***** Chance the rapper, Ab Soul, Earl Sweatshirt, maybe but not maybe Kid Cudi, Nas, Dizzy, MF Doom, and Joey Bada$$ have to be in it.
i take this back tbh hopsins not that good anymore
@@ScribbleAddictable what made you change your mind?
So his friend was called Jesse and he got on Meth, reminds me of Breaking Bad
Hexwy Crystal meth and meth are fundamentally the same thing. Crystal meth or 'crystal' is referring to the crystal form meth sometimes comes in, it is also found in pills,capsules and a bitter tasteing powder. Your best bet is to just say meth that way you can cover a broader scale of the different forms it comes in. It is usually snorted, a stimulant and legally prescribed as a drug for ADD under the name Desoxyn. It is illegal without a prescription.
Here's a link to more information.

*****
Methadone is in the opioid class of drugs, and is used to wean heroin addicts off of heroin and onto a scarier drug.
Methamphetamine is in the stimulant class of drugs and is prescribed to children for ADHD, or made in a trailer lab for adults to abuse.
totally different but I see where you might get confused in abbreviation
"In my knowledge"
Well, there's your problem right there.
Question: did you look up what I said before you replied with what you 'know' or can you cite your sources?
This is what drives me crazy: people assuming they know things without the slightest hint of humility or self-doubt.

I'm not being hard on you, you're just wrong.
Most ADHD meds are uppers.
i think hop has alotaa biggie in him. He's got that real old school flavour. Eminem and hop keeping it real like pac and Biggie!!
So refreshing to hear this man speak. I think everyone could learn something from him
This song actually helped me to get off meth..
Wow ... Rly ?
good for u man .
Great job !!
There’s a beautiful world out there 💕
Hopsin is actually a really smart guy
If Hop and Em did a collab I'd probably explode from the dopeness
Good response to that question about being, "preachy." Any other rapper would've been like, "fuck those haters, i'ma real nigga! But Hopsin straight up and honestly answered.
The fuck? Eminem is the best selling hip hop artist. Has the most awards. Not only that, he's got a radio station, his own label bring more good music into the industry. He put hip hop on the map when people started looking down on it. Do some homework
This is why hopsin is my idol. I don't rap or anything I just listen to the type of music that he makes. But I love the way that he has a message to not fuck around with drugs and alcohol. Hopsin keep up the great music and message. :)
I wish eminem and hopsin would get into beef just for the sick dis tracks between them.
o hell ya ,, yo that would be sick as fuck!!! :D
Kyle Gignac I love Hop and Em. no disrespect to Hop but we would be engulfed in flames and incinerated against em
Mad respect to Hopsin. It's so great to see someone continuing to push their craft forward with SOOOOOOO many haters. Keep doing your thing dude!
I find Hopsin hypocritical and indecisive in his rhymes at times, but this interview and his mindset in general gives me a lot of respect for him.
+008DREW We're all hypocritical.
but in a message to your audience, about what you stand for, you cannot be a hypocrite. I feel like hypocrite is a strong word being used here, but you can tell he still has a lot of room for growth.
he's only human
thank you ! im glad there is a real nigga in the game who preaches equality. he knows what hes sayin, he true to himself
hopsin should do a collab with eminem
Hopsin is true to himself, and its reflected in his music and might be one of the reasons we all can relate to it. "I dont really give a fuck if anybody likes, i love it"
That "stupid ass rapper dude" was Lord Jamar from Brand Nubian. I find his views abhorrent and ignorant as well, but he isn't just "some rapper dude", he's a pioneer to hip hop.
You make me happy
It's awesome when black rappers are articulate and can voice their opinions in a way that actually makes you think. If you listen carefully he definitley doesn't sound like your typical rapper. He rarely uses the words "you know uuhh and you know" repetitively like many rappers do. Kendrick, Hopsin, Drake, 50 cent, Kid cudi are the only ones that can come to my mind as being the most articulate
Hopsin is the fucken coolest guy I wish I would be able to chill with him just for an hour he has the illest mind I agree with is opinion over Macklemore and hip hop and eminem ! 🔥
Hopsin is so real he doesn't hide what he believes he's not 2 faced he says what he feels and i respect that
I like Hopsin man he's a cool dude
It was really nice in some way when he was talking about that "he was everything" and that he was just human. This dude might be one of the most down to earth rappers.. I really started listening to him like half a year ago, and now he is next to Em my favorite rapper.
I wish he would take those fuckin contacts out. ughh but I love him, and his personality.
ikr those contacts r nasty
He does, but when he wears them he's a part of hopsin.
And I personally love them.
He's a retillian
***** "so he doesn't look like every other rapper" you mean human?
***** "so he doesn't look like every other rapper" you mean human?
I really think Hopsin is lyrically the most inventive rapper out there and has his own opinions on things, props due.
Not really a Hospin fan, but he knows his shit here.
love his honesty the rawness in his music makes him better then most music out now
People here hating on Eminem cos of Hopsin and Hopsin loves him lol
I have heard of Hopsin but i didn't think he was like this. When my friend said Hopsin was a good rapper I thought he was just another guy who raps about money, cars, hoes, and weed (because my friend listens to that music). Damn, was i wrong. Turns out the guy raps about the truth and has nice flow and lyrics. I like him, he's a cool dude. Hopsin, you've got yourself a new fan!
damn hopsin looks like he got stung by a bee in his nose
hahaha...
How is it hating? It was a joke, gtfo.
shut up you just jelly
He has really bad acne, it’s just hard to see cause he’s black.
And that's a Real Emcee Hop, someone that touches on all elements of Hip Hop, also the forgotten element, "KNOWLEDGE" Which is also teaching, so if an Emcee doesn't teach in some way or another, then Truly that person has NO REAL REASON TO BE RAPPING, EXCEPT FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL SELFISH GAIN! But that Guy that puts the kids and listeners in mind when he is rapping, that is a TRUE EMCEE! Like Lupe Fiasco, Hopsin, Eminem, Common, Mosdef, Nas, and others! But the ones that only spit about cars, hoes, money, drugs, and killing, well that shit is bunk! Call me a hater, but I prefer that dude that actually THINKS when he writea!
Its true, Eminem is a very good rapper but to be honest , its not like it ones was. He can do better than what he does now.
You can clearly hear that he still has the talent just that his old stuff was better in my opinion. If he wants he can do it ones again.
Is his new lyrical flow too much for you? Or how about how lyrically strong he is now? Eminem has obviously changed over the many years that he's been in the game but i believe it was for the better. The fact that he got clean helps the message that he likes to promote in his music which is "you can do anything you set your mind to" if feel like he was better in the 90s than you probably just can't comprehend the words that he's using.
Talking about lyrical flow, i have an extreme flow myself, packed with rhymes after rhymes so im used to rapid flow packed with tons of rhymes. Of course im not on the same level as him but i still prefer his old stuff. I think he is a bit too mainstream now.
MC Taipan he may be mainstream but that doesn't affect his skill. That's like saying tupac or biggie smalls were bad because they're mainstream now
No its not the same, Biggie and pac rapped about other things, things that was more the deal back then. In the 90s the rap game was in general more relevant and even the mainstream had better standards (not always).Skills is within the message in the lyrics aswell and Eminem still have some good messages in his songs but i think the beats in his songs sounds too mainstream and i think he should have skipped to work with wayne. Hes has a more RNB like style now.
You're fucking stupid sir. Hiphop is not about the beat at all. If you want meaningful lyrics then pay attention to the lyrics. Fuck the beat. I've never listened to a rappers song and said "oh this song is wack asf because the beat is mainstream" its about the lyrics not the beat and if you want beats maybe you belong in dubstep not hiphop. Why would he work with someone as horrible as lil Wayne when he is lyrically better than almost anyone in the game? He should only be working with artists like Tech n9ne, Hopsin, Nas, ect. You've gotta realize that hiphop is changing and I'm not sure if you can tell but he clearly doesn't plan on changing with it.
Hopsin and em are my 2 fav rappers if they made a track today it would be the hottest track of 2016
all these idiots in the comment sections don't even know what lord jamar said, all he said is that hip hop is black music (which it is) and that white people need to respect the hip hop culture, he was dissing macklemore not eminem, he said eminem is in the good lane because eminem idolised 2Pac, Biggie etc, while most modern rappers just idolise eminem and act as if he is hip hop, and he also stated how macklemore was pushing gay agenda because it was a thing of the moment,
xPeriishHD hater don't get man because EminemVEVO . cool and u not
Dayton Buchanan what?
Blacks also need to respect the hip hop culture. Besides I don't think Macklemore doesn't respect hip hop culture if he has then I have yet to see or hear about it.
triston eliftris yes but what Lord Jamar was saying is, Eminem grew up in the ghetto listening to pure hip hop, that underground lyrical shit that had passion in it, while most rappers nowadays only listened to eminem growing up thinking he was all their is to hip hop and show no respect to past rappers, like what about other legends that were more lyrical than eminem, GZA gets no respect, Big L was more lyrical than Biggie, Em and Pac and he gets no respect and he's also Dead,
These modern day rappers are a bunch of money hungry people and their basically making Pop music with rhymes in them, Their lyrics and Techno beats attract white suburban kids who think they know hip hop and these lyrics are just degrading the youth
xPeriishHD I can understand what your saying, but Macklemore was inspired by Wu-tang and even says it in "Can't Hold Us" which is easily his most popular song, But eminem is my favorite rapper but i understand the culture and respect the legends like Pac, Dre, A tribe called quest, Biggie, Jay Z, Run DMC, and the culture of hip hop goes beyond rapping as you might know, But by rapping aren't you already respecting the culture? i have a hard time understanding why you think Macklemore or anyone don't respect the culture, i know that there's eminem fans, and that's the only rapper they listen too, but i highly doubt that one would wanna be a rapper souly for the purpose of eminem, granted Hopsin was mainly inspired by Eminem but he knew about The Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, which exposed him probably too like Proof, D12, Xzibit, Tupac, Jay Z.
It'd be hard to disagree with Hopsin because a lot of things he says is true. I was a hardcore Eminem fan since he was the first rapper I heard. The reason why I'm listening to thousands of rap and hip hop songs.
hopsin should callab with eminem
To be honest when I heard Ill Mind 7 when the "rant" was surfacing and brimming up i did see a lot of resemblances between this rapper and Eminem like the style and anger through his voice. To think he was inspired by him x"D, (btw not mocking just realising the coincidence) but wow both good rappers for sure. I truly love Hopsin.
I want to see an eminem and hopsin or yelawolf and hopsin collaboration
This kid is good for Hip hop and he can spit. Appreciate bro.
God damn it someone tell Em to collab with Hop
All the boys from the 606 and 304 "West Villa Killa Crew" Support Hopsin and Funk volume to the fullest!
i hope hopsin meets eminem :)
AND films it!
pretty sure he has no?
fuck eminem he is shit,
Bradley White nope. why you think? em is THE rap god.
Respect Hopsin for being a real human being color and sexuality don't matter.
agree with hopsin about eminem but if you think he's lost the only 2 people he ever trusted his uncle Ronnie & proof with the stress of his personal life all the beef & fame & hard drugs it nearly killed him, drugs & depression have damaged his physical appearance & internally, he looks like he struggles to talk let alone rap and with that in mind it's a miracle he can still put out fire like rap god echo living proof his radio one freestyles forever despicable don't front groundhog day etc etc he'll go down as goat when he's done
This dude is bringing back my love for hip hop! Someone needed to revive this dying genre...
Why does the majority of Emcees and cRappers forget about The Beasty Boys, House of Pain, Vinnie Paz, Apathy, Esoteric, Rick Rubin (yes RR rapped at one time), and all the other White emcees that did it way before fEminem? WITHOUT THESE CATS. The game wouldn't be what it is for them. NOT fEminem. People step your game AND bars up.
Mainly it was more of Eminem's back ground that gave him the recantation.
They aren't spoken of because it's a topic of revolutionizing Hip-Hop, and Eminem did that with his extraordinary lyrical approach that no other white MC had done before him. So it's not about who started it, but rather who made it better...
The reason Eminem is in a class by himself is because he was the first white man/MC to make black rappers want to rhyme similar or just like him. I'll say it again- Black rappers were IMPRESSED and wanted to rhyme like a white rapper in a black founded culture. That is a milestone of a humongous order.
I actually hear Beastie Boys brought up in conversations often when all time best are discussed on tv and in conversations. Besides, all it takes is timing for an artist to become timeless and remembered. So rappers are ahead of their time, and some are just good enough for a single or two. They def helped Eminem, but the anti-gay lyrics and explosion of the internet are just two random factors to his success and notoriety. If he would have come out a few years before or after, perhaps his impact wouldnt have been as big..Not to mention the reemergence of the Westside scene, which funded much of his early work. Dre had the beats to help Eminem, and Em helped save Dre's career.
Lol u forgot ice ice baby vanilla ice
*****
That's true. Eminem was rapping about problems white kids in the Midwest dealt with like depression, suicide, and drug addiction. He also talked about hating/wanting to kill his mom (which is a big change from the usual "I love my mom" rap that to this day is still a popular and safe theme. Wish Em still had that same delivery and passion...But I guess that would also be asking him to be miserable and hate-filled again. Maybe he is in a better place emotionally now...
Honestly the fact that he produced this all himself is amazing.
Hopsin and Eminem should do a song together
your an inspiration to humanity, and I respect you as a fellow human.
why is he smiling when he's talking about his friend who over dosed? jfc
It probably happened a long time ago, so he's probably over it happening. He's not dead he just misses him. js
Hopsin is always smiling. In every interview no matter the subject. That way the pain doesn't show. He Said it before.
well he looks like a friggin game show host or something
Hopsin has obvious talent, but for right now its totally wasted on me. I do look forward to hearing Hopsin in about 4-5 years from now.
George Strut
It could be just how his face is damn does it bother you that much?
its starting to
Amazing interview hardknock hopsin is real af
I thin Eminem evolved into a better artist. Hop said that his worplay was better in the past, thats totally not true. Ever since his comeback Em has been surpassing everyones 'technical' ability, metaphors,entendres,worplay,storytelling etc.
This was in 2013 though
Bruce Wayne Actually, Hop was saying that he likes the older works of Eminem not necessarily because of the word play but more because of his flow and sound. He acknowledges that Em's skill is still dope, and you're right to say he surpasses all in the technical aspects of rap.
+Bruce Wayne his wordplay wasn't really better tbh... He used to be a lyrical beast back in the past. Listen to infinite or biterphobia. Eminem is still good, but his lyrics used to be a lot better. Not only just in rhymes, but also the creativity he had put into it and the vocabulary with it.
+Bruce Wayne not in story telling. Em has gotten better but sound, story telling, and flow is not as good as they once were
Hah I'm so stoked (for some reason) that Hopsins favorite Eminem song is my favorite Eminem song. Just thought the Hopsin community needed to know that I guess.
I love Hopsin! ; - ;
Oh crap he said Jesse...Breaking Bad
"There are dope MCs, black, white, chinese.. everything" Shoutout to chinese people? lol
MUCH RESPECT for this dude,this guy is a Christian mann I am too,and dis guy been thru a lot but still he got one smile on his face no matter what again MUCH RESPECT
HOW CAN YOU NOT SAY "TILL I COLLAPSE" IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS LYRICALLY???? WHAT???
i always like watching hardknock's interviews they make them so well
I ended up here through the grapevine, I didnt like this guy, but thats just cuz Im older n stuck in my ways. Hard to embrace the new I guess. I gotta lotta respect for him now for sure.
Had me laughing till it hurt when the discussion of Eminem came up because i feel the exact same way.
eminem is OK I dont care if hes white... the black rappers these days say the n word too much !! I really miss the 90s rappers with intelligent rhymes....you know black power rhymes ....farakhan s teaching rhymes ...poetic rhymes wuts up wit all that ???
lol he better then ok
I fucking love Hopsin and the way he thinks ( everybody is equal ) + he's a die hard fan of Eminem!
i was agreeing with everything hopsin was saying until he start talking about lord jamar.
first of all hopsin shouldn't say lord jamar of brand nubian is a racist and compare an interview to what went on in the 50's. lord jamar works with all types of white people being he is in the music industry. He has real hip hop head fans that are white. lord jamar never said white people shouldn't rap and didn't contribute nothing to hip hop. He simply said Hip Hop started with black people and macklamore's video with grown men kissing each other, is pushing Hip Hop in direction it hasn't gone on before, on a mass scale. I like hopsin's music and will continue to listen to him, but I don't respect him as a man, for that bullshit he just said.
You probably feel this way cause you are ignorant and racist as well.
SHUTTERSHOT45 your full of shit. I don't see lord jamar putting burning crosses in front of white people's houses. So what are you talking about?
Bullet proof the shit jamar said was ignorant to say the least. If you cant see that then you are stuck in the past. Good day.
Jamaal Windom I'm 20 years ahead of you, stuck in what past? You don't have to like it jamaal but don't jump on the band wagon and call it something it's not, which is racist. How come r a rugged man . a legend in hip hop and a white rapper agrees with Jamar?
Bullet proof I still stand by what I said.
Great answers, he's a lot wiser than people give credit.
It sucks that he dissed tyler the creator. they have a lot in common
Nah, it doesn't suck that he dissed him, it sucks that Tyler didn't respond.
Competition is what makes rap good. Lack of competition creates posers like Lil Wayne.
CWG TheRealSkybear beef rap can leave to getting teeth capped as MF DOOM once said
RandomAccessMemory I really don't think so. Hip hop has evolved a lot. I think we're smart enough these days to keep the beefs on the tracks. I'm not saying everyone should be spitting shit at each other, just that there needs to be competition to weed out the shitty "artists".
CWG TheRealSkybear
you never really know with beef
RandomAccessMemory Fair.
its super dope to know that the fame and cash hasnt turn him into a robot hes still human thats dope!
Role Model is my fav em song to and brain damage.
hearing Hopsin talk this open-minded and real actually changed the way i look at him.
he should def colab with eminem
I feel like Hopsin and Eminem say similar things
What is "Hip Hop" other than a 6-letter-phrase that has been defined by the list of rappers to have come up since it's creation. Hopsin is one of the rappers who are redefining Hip-Hop, and is aware of it. Not to say that he makes amazing music, I simply respect the mindful perspective he has acquired and the resonant effects of it.
Eminem was just the first white rapper that hip hop really accepted and he can rhyme....but what has he done lately some fucking bullshit but I haven't checked the ep yet but just based of that first single idk
thanks bro imma check it out
Yeah, I'd say definitly do not judge the album by the singles. I hated the singles with a passion, but loved the album. For some reason he chose trash songs to be singles while the rest of the album is dope. Especially the bonus songs, check them out if you get a chance.
it's crazy how em sucks so much now.
naa not really haha
Jonathan Gaete You just contradicted yourself so much.
Its nice to see a interview with hopsin he is a pretty chilled person. Keep putting in that work and maybe u can take a bigger percentage of the rap game matter fact I know u can. And pleaseeee do a song with yelawolf that would be too raw
