Hopsin: I Like Drake's Music, But I Can't Respect His Lyrics After Ghostwriting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- After Drake's ghostwriting scandal broke Hopsin took to Twitter to reveal his thoughts on the situation, telling followers that Drake having a ghostwriter was "not hip-hop." The West Coast rapper expanded more on his thoughts during a recent interview with VladTV, where he told us that while he still really likes Drake's music, he can't respect his lyrics after the ghostwriting claims.
We also asked Hopsin about his thoughts on Royce Da 5'9" telling VladTV that he wrote Dr. Dre's verses for "The Message," and the former Funk Volume rapper told us that he has too much respect for Dre to hate on him for having a ghostwriter.
Check out more of the interview up top, and hear Hopsin share his thoughts on what he believes is true artistry.
this is how vlad interviews.
Vlad : what's your name
person: My name is Paul
vlad: yeah but don't you think that Carl is better?
paul: yeah but my name is..
vlad: I mean there are other names besides paul, ya-kna-mean?
paul: that's fine but My name is ..
vlad: no I feel ya, but don't you think like Ceasar is more powerful than paul?
W
W. if you get someone as passive aggressive as vlad and a good debater against him, he'd probably shit bricks
+T Cooper if its for Weak +100000
LMAO
Yeah paul is a great name
Vlad: you're not making the beats?
Hopsin: actually I am.
Vlad: All the beats?
Hopsin: anything I rap on I made.
Vlad: damn... (calls Drake explaining he has to give the money back as he can't make Hopsin look bad)
haha
Hahahahahahhahaha. I don't see why Hop even talks to this fool.
Favorite part of the interview.
Hey 25 g!rl K♠K meaghan055
Brian Snow fast forward a couple of months he has got a producer now
Yeah but there's a difference between the Dre and Drake situation. Dre never thought of himself as a rapper or a lyricist. Everybody knows that Dre uses ghostwriters. He acknowledged that. How many time did Drake say that he's the greatest, the best etc. ? You can't call yourself the goat if you don't write your own shit. End of.
Emil Lončarevič that's what I mean like with easy e to Noone clowned him cause everyone knew cube was writing his shit if not cube than someone else but if ur saying ur the greatest and than get exposed for not writing ur lyrics and lying than ur a fraud and fake and u shouldn't b a rapper I would have more respect for drake if u always admitted he had a writer but he hasn't probably never will
Emil Lončarevič amen.
Agreed. If someone else is putting their words in your mouth the most you can say is you're the best performer or frontman
*@Emil* completely agree. That’s what Hopsin was attempting to say, but couldn’t find the words.
@@damiencurran2928 Also Easy E said in a track "Ice Cube writes the lines I say". Dre never claimed he wrote everything he says on a track. Drake clearly has denied ever using a ghostwriter. There is a big difference between the two.
vlad hold an L for this interview.
He's expecially annoying here
VLad is always trying to imply something by trying to trip an artist up on something and RARELY shows his face.
I just don’t like him period.
Arthur McClinton so literally don’t watch him then😂
@@von1626 - I really don't know why you think it's funny but in order to find something out I figured that you would have to watch it first. I guess you think you said something worth listening to. Keyboard thuggery.
what do you expect from somebody who thinks 2Chainz is s lyricist
"the Idea of Drake" is a genius way to put it
+Sidenotez hopsin is a sharp breh
It doesn't make much sense
it does when you break down what he said
Troy Daniels should I cut it up into bitesize chunks for you?
+ivanduvok
Hopsin says "unless hes writing the lyrics/contributing in some way". Drake writes majority of his rhymes.
"idea of Drake" would make sense if someone else wrote ALL of his music for him like Dr Dre, P Diddy, Eazy E, etc.
vlad just be interviewing himself frfr
This shit made me laugh so hard haha
Lmaoooo
+HeyIKeepSeeingYou jr BWAAHAAAHAAHAAHAAAA!
lol
lmaoo
“The idea of Drake” is the best way to put this.
Vlad just doesn't get it lol
Yea he do.he just a bitch dat don't wan admit dat Hop is right
Nope he doesn't smh
Maybe Vlad doesn't write his own questions... #Exposed
+Bloodhunter0408 lollololol
+Bloodhunter0408 I cant respect that, I like the concept of Vlad but I cant respect that.lol
+Bloodhunter0408 I hope Vlad sees this lmao
who's this imposter you aint Vlad
who's this imposter you aint Vlad
Yo WTF is Vlad talking about man? Do you want Hopsin's opinion or do you want yours?
for real
Yup
Bingo.
He sound like he just tryna argue with hop the whole time lmao
rns.. who's getting interviewed ?
Vlad is pathetic on this interview. I love Hop saying "I'm makin the the beats..." haha. What a boss.
Vlad just let me know he is a CULTURE VULTURE. A person who doesn't understand this is called Rhythm and Poetry. This started with the LAST POETS. A true emcee has lyrics, flow and tone
"Quincy Jones doesn't play instruments" every jazz musician watching this video cringed at that moment
Dude I cringed too
EXACTLY! I WAS LIKE VLAD, SHUT IT UPPPPP!
The only thing VLAD knows is what Black people HAVE TOLD HIM. I've watched Chuck D school.him, too...Nigga, you ain't got the answers, Vlad!
Riiiightt
Damn Vlad is salty asf. Hating on Hopsin is opinion man. Let him finish his sentence, You interviewing him. You trying too hard to cover up Drake and step on Hop's opinion.
Alex Malefactor yea IKR
Thank You !!!!!!
Because he doesn't want to hear the truth. All the radio is .. is one big watered down business with Melody's to appeal to the masses and empty lyrics written by corporate:
I agree with you like vlad really need to stfu sometimes let the man speak damn.
I told somebody about this auto mechanic who does good work for the low. I hope day I’ll be respected for all the repairs he did.
Vlad, you’re a complete idiot in this interview.
"In that same regard, you have to make your own beats, right?" "I make all my beats. Every single one of them." Hopsin fucking buried him😂
+Brennan Ferris was fucking hilarious when he said that.
My nipples look like milk DUDZ.
+Brennan Ferris Hopsin's beats are wack af doh
+Brennan Ferris by far the best part of the video!!!!!!!
+Yomamas Nekst your telling me crown me wasn't fire?
Emcees that have ghostwriters are just not respectable to real emcees 🤷🏽♀️
Ppl with ghostwriters r not emcees
Hopsin was 100% ABSOLUTELY correct in EVERYTHING he said💯💯💯💯
He literally took the words out my mouth and the thoughts out my head! 💯💯💯💯
Straight facts! I rock with Hopsin so hard after seeing him handle this shit like a real one!
He shit Vlad up quick like naw homie "i make my own beats all of them"
Shut
+SEAN “S DOT” HARDISTY he should get a producer.. most of his records weak
+SEAN “S DOT” HARDISTY XD
DJ Gary hopsin tracks need better production
straight up all of a sudden its a bad example.
Vlad is no longer an interviewer lol he's trying to force his perspective all in the interview and shit lmao wtf
Right?
Exactly this fool just can't let the shit go
+poetmm I feel like it's gotten worse lately. I feel like he doesn't want to be behind the scenes anymore. He wants to be a star or something like that
word
I'm thinking the same thing. It's lowkey annoying when he does that. I understand what Hopsin is saying. I think we need to separate the terms "lyricist" and "artist".
I can't stand the interviewer. Logic doesn't get to him quickly, does it? 😂 Someone give him a rap lesson. If you are a rapper, you write raps. If you are a producer, you make beats. Is it that hard to get that people respect an artist more that do their own stuff?
Yeah vlad is super lame
You need a rap lesson. A beat maker makes beats. A producer, creates them, takes samples and clash them, blends, does the mixing, overall crafting of the work and often help rappers better things such as delivery and flow, etc. Consider yourself enlightened. Don't correct, if you're not going to correct fully.
TB RC this was 3 years ago, I can assure you I’ve learned a lot since then haha, listen to my new song 😂❤️
@@jaguirretorres This was even questions it was trying to disprove his completely valid opinion.
@@lyrics2challenged Often producers create beats as well just depends on the person.
Vlad you graspin for straws a little man. the topic was Drakes ghost writers. not who put all the beats down. Drake has a ghost writer and doesn't make his own beats. Hopsin killed you with that debate
I mean Hop could just walk out and Vlad will still be talking to himself
lol!
+Andrew Carlos Esqueda lmao
Lmao
Not just talking to himself, he'd be arguing with himself.
Hed start arguing with himself and then argue with that fake ass drumset
Jesus Christ quit splitting hairs. props to hop for keeping his cool
Bruh. Vlad was trying haaaaaaaaaaaard, too...
Difference between Dre and Drake.
Dre-Him and Easy E both acknowledged a long time ago that Ice Cube wrote most of their music.Hes acknowledged threw out his career that he has had people write for him.
Dre has built most of his career as a producer,but he can still rap and write.And finally hes never claimed to be the greatest lyricist ever.
Drake-claims to be the greatest lyricist ever,that in itself is a huge L
Never acknowledged people writing for him until Pusha dissed his ass.
Hopsin said it perfect here,music is good.But you cant claim to be the greatest and have a helping hand,no way to justify this one at all.Vlad is tripping.
Jevon Burke bro what lol he acknowledged that people write for him after the meek situation not the pusha situation lol we been known drake had ghost writers since 2015...
@WAKANDA NAKER Dre has always made it clear, he producers with others. He's a producer. Music production involves putting together all the elements together. This includes overseeing recording sessions, picking out samples, getting musicians to play instrumentals, making sure the tracks are mixed and mastered, making sure samples are cleared and so much more.
Producers produce records/tracks/songs, they don't necessarily make the beats.
@WAKANDA NAKER no one pays attention since '96? Another casual
Sooooo Vlad is telling me if I get Picasso to paint a picture for me and I put it out and say “This is mine”. That makes me a great artist??
If you got Picasso to paint anything for you now a days, my first thought would not be "did a person who has been dead for over 46 years paint this"? It would be ""AAAAHHHH, ZOMBIE PICASSO, RRRUUUUUUNNNNNNN". But if you had an original Picasso painting, before his pre-dead days, you would be better off to just say that it is Picasso's work. You'll get far more money for it. However, zombie Picasso has never made a single painting, so maybe that would be worth more. Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔
Law 7: Get others to do the work for you but always take the credit. For some reason people say the big 3 is Drake, Kendrick, Cole, but the big 3 is actually Drake, Kanye, Travis, each of which have ghost everything. The opposite spectrum would be Kendrick, Cole, and Push who are anti-fame and old school and what not.
I see Drake sent bottles to Vlad also
lmfaoo exactly
right tho
W
+King Kid lmfao
Oh shit hahaha
I agree with Hopsin 100%, you can't be considered one of the greatest rappers if you don't write your own lyrics in my opinion
100%
ABSOLUTELY!
100%
+Jollytapestry .C He is a product liek some of them pop bitches.Just a puppet on strings.Fuck drake
if anyone disagrees with that i would love to hear their argument. a rappers writing ability and ability to be consistently making hits is implicit in his ability to WRITE and respect as an MC. You could shave off all the dogma that comes along with hip hop and this honor code would still stand. it isnt prejudice or closed mindedness as far as i can tell. What drake has going is more like how singers produce records. or how Mad Men and other tv shows get made. any given mad men episode, there is three or four people piecing together life events. I do understand to keep a million dollar entity profitable, this is the way to do the shit.
word
Honestly you were being way to hard on hopsin about this topic.
Right?! I wanna hear about Hopsin!
Whole interview summary: "As a lyricist I am unable to respect Drake's pen game IF it is true that he's not writing all his own content, but I am still a fan of his music and can't judge all his business decisions."
I like how Hop stays true to what he says. I totally agree with him. Vlad making no damn sense lmao, trying to use beats to validate his opinion. The reason we all respect Dre is because he's a producer first, that's his art form. The rapping portion is just complimentary. BUT when you paint yourself as an MC, and it turns out you don't write your own shit.. you have no art form, you get all the credit for the shit you didn't even write yourself. Anyone can learn to perform lyrics, but not everyone has the ability to write good lyrics.
ikr 💯💯
+Sebah X real shit bruh.
+Sebah X you right
Word up!
+Sebah X exactly
I think of Dr. Dre as a producer not a rapper. If you a real MC you write your own rhymes. You can't be a lyricist and not write your own rap
W
+Natalie Colbert I concur.
+Dan12:13 Morrissey.
i can agree with you to an extent..... i wasnt much into n.w.a., i started really listining to rap when the chronic came out. i like dre's beats, never really cared much for him as a lyricist. all i know is everything should and usually does EVOLVE! but w the so called rap and hip hop nowadays that just isnt the case! im not saying al rap is garbage in 2016, but i will say at least 85 % is....... i miss the death row days and the gangsta rap days.
+Dan12:13 Morrissey don't be mad and big and puff for the bling era. They were trying to make hip hop happy again. I rather have teens running up their moms credit card. Then shooting each other.
Yea Dre has never been looked at great rapper because he's not
Always been Cube
Hopsin I like this guy...expresses himself well is an actual artist
Vlad lost points today for me HOP you just gained a whooolle hellava lot man so much respect
Drake is a group not one person it's that simple
L for that stupid shit
good way to put it
L
L for drake L for you
no
This nigga Vlad compared ghostwriters to trainers in boxing lmaoo
Lmao he tryna push Drake down his throat
+Elvin P LMAOOOO
+Elvin P naw ghostwriting is more like having somebody go in to fight for you.
Excatly. The Trainer analogy if being used would be symbolic of the MC's inspiration or mentors that he studied and learned from. Like i grew up from 8 years old to 20 listening and studying the greats, then he goes out creates his original expression based on what he has learned.
lol Cause hes half a jew Vlad aint shit
Smart man.. I I swear he was trying to force him to like Drake LOL
"I'm making the beats"
Give it up Vlad.
A rapper with a ghost writer is the same as a comedian with a writer
so completely normal?
+Michael Rowley
Completely bullshit
+Woosh Stand up comedians? Absolutely not.
That's not true at all. Don't make stupid statements if you don't know what you're talking about. Most comedians write their own material.
HubsDrunk did he say standup comedian? no he did not. and yea, stand up comedians do help each other out with shows and jokes for them. In the music industry these people would have to get a percentage of the song. In comedy they don't share royalty in that way, so it becomes alot less obvious. It seems you are projecting
VLAD gets caught plagiarizing and tells the teacher he should still get credit because although someone else wrote the paper, he wrote the name and date at the top.
+PUD NUK gbam! there it is, fam!
lol
Yeah, he "made the decision after looking at the answers, yes, this is the paper I will cheat off of."...smh
Lmfao this is the best comparison every.
wish this was at the top would've been great to start my adventure into the comment section with this comparison. fuckem
hopsin speaking truth back in the day you couldn't get away with ghost writers cause most ppl battle rap which you had spit on the spot i feel like half the rappers today wouldn't last 2mins in a true battle session 💯
Haha. Hopsin like "I make my own beats.." 😂😂 he's the man.
VLAD... let the interviewee finish his thought. Please. Its painful to see how many times you cut him off in mid-sentence.
agreed.
He was too busy trying to paint him in a corner and back him against the wall with his questions to get his own point across. Still failed....
MyZ001 EPIC FAIL
I've said it before... Vlad is not one of those interviewers that allows you to forget his presence. Sometimes he rides roughshod over the interviewees and it's so freaking annoying. And especially a guy like Hospin who is obviously quite intelligent.
I think Vlad was trying to get Hopsin to see how contradicting he is. Hopsin says he can't respect ghost writers, but doesn't care if Dre ghost writes because of his cultural impact to him personally. So, because Dre has contributed to his life (by starting LA hip-hop), it is okay for him to ghost write, but anyone else (in this case Drake), because they haven't effected him like Dre, it is not okay to ghost write. That, on Hopsin's behalf, is very contradicting/biased.
Hopsin is so smart. I wish Vlad would shut up.
AC Wyatt it’s his show...
Vlad talking over people isn't a good method of argument. Hopsin is spot on, mostly because of your poor arguing skills lol.
Hahaha Vlad trying to say ghostwriting is respectable when being an MC. Haven’t laughed so hard in a while
Hopsin is 100 right, I don't know why Vlad is trying to change he's mind
Thats cuz Vlad and Drake is of the same Ilk as his momma and Lyor Cohen. The suppression is palpable
Just learned a new word, "ilk".
Vlad just does not get it lol
nope. lol
+CoolKash Ali thank you! it aint rocket science.
he's an outsider. a culture vulture just here to take what he can.
+William James he seriously sit there and come up with all these arguments like art painters and dr dre verses all to argue his drake point to someone who grew up in love with eminem...
+William James He really doesnt lol
Hopsin has a green light to diss Vlad on a track. Haha
He absolutely needs to because this dude is stupid!!!
I respect Hopsin.. Good interview brotha
This is the most unprofessional interviewer i have ever seen. He doesnt let Hopsin finish his sentences and tries to argue with him. He wont let Hopsin have his own opinions, instead forcing his own opinions on Hop
I feel like I learned A LOT about the interviewer, just as much as Hop, if not more actually. Not exactly who I'd want to be around or what I expected when I clicked on a video with Hopsin in the headline and thumbnail :P
😂😂😂💯
Exactly. Vlad doesnt even know music history. If u pay attention he does is research on site at the moment. Quincy played trumpet and wrote many song before vlad was even born
he wasnt trying to interview him he was waiting for him to spazz out and say something negative about drake so he can milk the clip for clickbait
VLAD gets fuckin schooled at 10:02
HAHAHAHAHA
Bang'd on him. DOn't know why Vlad is attempting to make the kid agree to his perspective... Can't be bullied..
Hopsin solid as an oak
yeah game over right
Gunsmith Clothing it's totally silent at 10 minutes into seconds what are you talking about he's like clearing his throat
Im an artist, I paint/sketch, and NOBODY aside from me has or ever will paint something that I would sign. Artists that have workshops like Warhol lose a ton of respect from me because it isnt their art, they just supervise. Either that or they are just pumping it out for money, and that art is a lot less valuable than the stuff the actual artist created.
Vlad tried to quickly move past hopsin saying he made all of his own beats so fast lol
Vlad no one cares if u collect art. Foh
LMAO
lol
+Joseph Hardmon Drops Andy Warhols name like thats supposed to make us think he's into art now.
I like drakes music personally, I just don't see him as a rapper I see him more of a pop star. I just don't agree when people compare him to Kendrick and Cole
J Park he acts as a rapper. His music doesn’t mean anything.
@@chavez349 you are right I never ever noticed that point Drake never made a conscious song ever not saying thats at all his lane but he never made anything that meant anything dam is that why he so successful cause niggas don't wanna think about nothing just fun and pussy no responsibility
@@davingrant9747 Before he went pop he was a conscious rapper go back to so far gone and his thank me later album and stuff his early days he was that type of rapper but went pop and became bigger I miss the old drake
If you don't write your own bars you are not an artist you're a performer !!!
@@davingrant9747 He is an industry puppet: He has to follow the protocol !! Drake is pop not Hip Hop !!!
If vlad asked Leonardo Da Vinci that question about Andy Warhol. Da Vinci would slap the fuck out vlad and walk the fuck out.
"You've never heard a hopsin song that wasn't MY beat". Then I thought about some of his songs. Damn this guy's been putting in work he needs to get his prop
Drake should always be seen as an actor first. Nothing more, nothing less.
I say the same thing
true.
Foolish to define and limit someone's identity by their first job, especially when they switch out of it in their teens and go on to do something as massive as what Drake's accomplished.
I feel You on that. I just think Drake is portraying something that he isnt. he got a come upp from degrassi like what nigga?..
loli remember wheelchair jimmy
Rap is different... Rap has always been based on the fact that you are writing about your experience. Not someone writing about your experience.. I will never call Drake one of the best rappers of all time. EVER.
yes sir. even if he sells 100 million records. he wouldnt even make top 20 in my mind
Billy Mech faaaaacccctttttttsssssss. He's a total fraud, fucking up the culture. Nothing but a stand.
AGREE 100%!
Rap is something you do Hip Hop is something you live !!!
Why does Vlad always bring it back to crappy Eminem !!!
If we found out someone wrote some of William Shakespeare’s poetry, he wouldn’t be seen in the same light & seen as one of the greatest poets in history.
Can't possibly respect Dre as a rapper and have never looked forward to a Dre verse.
He's a terrible rapper, that's why he's always been a producer first, and a good one at that.
dude...dre can rap...ever heard chronic 2001?
Dre can rap.
drake isn't even a rapper, he is a pop star with ghostwriters
this is somewhat true.
W
+willemdee because everyone needs to write their own shit he's a pop star and always will be
Pop star literally means Pop'ular star.. Who in the mainstream with a record deal doesn't wanna be Pop'ular?? Hip-Hop is Pop now because it's everywhere.
+Morpheus Bott pop and hiphop are 2 totally different things and genres
I feel like dj vlad's example's weren't good examples, because in every situation Hopsin still felt the same way about ghostwriting..
His point wasn't good to begin with.
or because vlad was wrong and he wasnt gonna change his mind. I dont even like hopsin music but his opinion on ghostwriting was on point.
None of Vlads points were valid
This is ALWAYS the case smh ..
right Michael Jackson is not a rapper
Dr.Dre is looked at like puff mainly a producer and a sometime lyricist nobody looks for him to be a lyricist so its ok
No I don't look forward to a Dr Dre verse. I look forward to a Dr Dre song or a Dr Dre beat but I don't care much about what he says because I know he don't write his own rhymes.
Vlad is pissin' me off in this interview. He seems to be on the Drake defense team.
Vlad needs to tone it down and let Hop speak
Vlad: your not making the beats
Hopsin: im making the beats
Vlad: All the beats?
Hopsin: All the beats.
Vlad: oh! Like my boy Slim Jesus ?
100% agree ghost writing is a type of disrespect to the artform somewhat. I've been offered $$ for verses before but never excepted out of respect for true lyricism.
Why does Vlad always talk more than the person he's interviewing?
vlad you suck.
He used to not really talk all that much. I don't know what happened, but recently, he's been talking A LOT. Really annoying.
MattyMuffins Haha he's feeling himself he's always bringing up how many views his interviews get or when they trend on twitter lol
because i can
+MattyMuffins lmao then get off my channel bro. your not forced to come watch idiot
Vlad biased as hell. How can you undermined his opinion and act like yours is fact? lol.
+LAVI BELLE
You have ignorant person's mentality.
You are speaking for an entire ethnic group.
I bet you're the type of person that pulls the race card at work. You get fired because you're missing days and says it's because I'm (whatever ethnicity). You probably did it in middle school and didn't get suspended by using the race card. Nobody popped your hand and said that's bad. You grew up with a sense of entitlement. You have much maturing to do. Try getting out more.
that's not racist
+levtick J +LAVI BELLE what are you two talking about? I'm white and I agree with Hopsin you're taking what one white guy said and basing it off a whole ethnic group? Everyone here hates vlad and agrees with hop and most are white folks, what if Hopsin was doing that and I said "black folks mentality. They're right .. u R wrong lol" see that would be wrong, everyone is different I can't base one thing I white person said and say all white people do that. You two are the reasons there are race wars so quit pulling the race card and the other guy quit putting the 100% acting like he's talking real your fake asf with your bs
Vladimir the type of guy that takes all the credit for what his team does.
Hopsin is explaining his opinion so politely and Vlad keeps interjecting and posing all these non equivalent comparisons to discredit *Hop's personal opinions* on what a respectable lyricist does. Its like talking with someone who's not listening to a damn thing you're saying and just waiting to force out stuff they've been prepared to say for a long time.
"I wanna know the person that put the pen to the paper" perfect way to end
Awww. That's where Drake got it.
vlad doesn't do his own journalism, so he feels the need to defend drake.. he doesn't know which questions to ask, so he takes polls on twitter on what to ask people.. he didn't come up with the interview format or the camera angles and he doesn't know who to interview.. all he does is read the cards, so he feels he's a real journalist.. same with his DJing, back in the day.. someone chose all the songs for him and he just stood there with headphones
Brian...I agree fully and not just with Vlad...in all aspects of life fake have been allowed to thrive under the guise of real...its game over for that mess...real and real only is whats up....
Real boxing Fan1 always one person off topic and making foolish claims when they don't even know to whom they're responding.. if you don't care, then don't comment.. no point in trying to convince us that we shouldn't care about what's real, when we clearly do and are justified in doing so
Real boxing Fan1 lol but you do realize that you're essentially doing what you're telling us not to do
Lol, I don't think anyone here got there feelings hurt by your comment. Based on the original comment, sounds like vlad is basically exactly the art he tries to defend. Ironic
Real boxing Fan1 It matters to artists, that's the point that Hopsin is making. Clearly you don't care, but what if it was you in his seat? For example, say you were a painter and to mild success, then there is another painter who presents the work of others as his own. If he calls himself a "painter" (yet all he does is use other people's work), wouldn't you be pissed off that he be compared to you as a true artist? I sure would. If Drake or anyone else is going to call themselves an "artist" or "musician", then they should be the ones producing their own work, or they are just fakes. Or at least call themselves entertainers. There is a much bigger issue altogether about using ghostwriters as an "artist" because this sets a presidence in music that blurs the meaning of being an artist. It infects the industry and it destroys any sense of authentic artistry.
The interviewer is tryna push Hopsin into a corner , within a circle ⭕️ but Hop is just to smart for him
Vlad is speaking like a real music industry person, and he's speaking to a rapper who writes his own lyrics lol
There is 100% a disconnect here
Vlad thinks that 2chains is a lyricist, soooooo
right??
exactly
"she got a big booty so i call her big booty"
that's lyrical genius, fuck you mean.
+Darrian Nelson You can do that with anybody.

Greatest
Great topics and I love how Hopsin answered the questions. He was very careful not to sound like a hater or be persuaded by Vlads opinions. I Happen to agree with Hospins opinions on all the topics here.
This guys who’s asking the questions is not stupid, he’s just mad dirty trying to distract Hopsin from stories here and there to make him finally admit it’s fine to have a ghostwriter. I’m glad Hop handled him well and preached lessons in this interview!
Write your lyrics, rappers! Simple and easy. Respect comes first, fame comes second.
Drake been mediocre for a long time and he will continue to be mediocre for a long time
This.
exactly
Stay Schemin & Aston Martin Music verses still his best tho
+Brian Best drake is a good voice over. Nothin more nothin less.
+AsylumBeats
Drake is this generation's Michael Jackson and Prince. Multi Talented
vlad wtf are you talking about beats for? the debate was about writing your own lyrics not the fact rappers pick there own beats lol, most frustrating interview to watch ever, big up hopsin tho..
Right like what did he swerve left for. Hopsin was cool about it, but I know inside he was like, why is he asking about this.
The whole idea of being a genuine artist is having a sense of integrity, the authentic approach of taking your own ideas and composing them into tangible means of expression. Hopsin is an artist, Drake is a second-hand artist at best. You're never going to convince or persuade someone that takes the time that Hopsin does to put his music and his brand together on his terms to truly respect what Drake does. It's a disheartening trait. Music is subjective and a good song is a good song regardless of where it came from, but as an artist, you can agree to disagree just because it's a good song, but there's no true appreciation or real regard towards the artistry of a record if it's second-hand. A catchy record is going to sell, and it's essentially "junk food" music, something you listen to while working out or cleaning your house, but it's never going to be a song that you sit there and close your eyes to enjoy. Elevator music, for the lack of a better term. It is what it is.
"I snuck in Drake's house when he was alone inside, you could say I have a bogus mind. I dimmed the lights down and closed the blinds, around his neck was wear my rope was tied, I yanked on it till it broke his spine!"
Tf!!?! is this an interview or a discussion with yourself? ? lol
omg amen
true story man. I relate with hop.
I really don't know why y'all giving Drake a pass. The number 1 rule in hip-hop is what? Write your own shit. I'd be damn near heart broken if I found out Nas, Biggie, Pac, Hov, DMX, Jadakiss or Eminem has a ghostwriter. SMH I understand people get hooks thrown or given to them at certain times but come on B...
+87_Michael They wont see it clearly. If Eminem had a black ghost writer...people would flip.
This! I'm mad that the legends in the game giving these sorry ass muthafuccas a pass. Drake, Young Thug, Why? Because they're successful? Because that's how the rap industry works? Politics as usual...
People like Jay, Nas, 50, Eminem could go at these clowns and not brake a sweat because they've already had success, and they're respected. Plus, if Meek vs Drake got that much attention.. imagine something like this...
W
Eminem who?....... He's not significant to hiphop or black people.
Baked Bean Sigel Yea... But only because he's white. That's a little racist, right?
Plenty of non racist blacks fucked with Em during his time
Hops is about the true art form of hip hop. His content sometimes gets corny but, he has respect for the craft and work that's put into different technical things. Nothing but respect for the culture💯
Holy shit vlad he doesn’t have to agree with you. Respect the mans opinion
Truest shit he ever said. I thought I was the only one who felt this about Drake. He's an idea, not a rapper & yet people love him. He's not real.
Seriously I been saying this forever the idea of Drake is great on paper. A nigga that can rap and sing. Now if only he wrote his own music and dropped bars more often
Rooney He probably can't write his own music. I can't hate on him because he make some great hits or in his case Quentin makes great hits.
+corey jinks Quentin is only one gear in the machine. D.R.A.K.E is a machine made of many gears, not a man. Now that machine cranks out fire tracks, but people need to acknowledge the fact that a rapper named Drake doesn't actually exist.I'm sure he can write.He didn't always know QM or PND.He never could have come up in the first place if he couldn't.I'm sure he wrote his first album,but when the super lyrical shit came outta nowhere that's when you know
+corey jinks drake bit off somebody style that's something people don't know
+transcendentmuzic what do you mean with super lyrical like what songs for example
the word they are looking for is integrity
Mike drop
The writing is the most important part of rapping if you're not the writer you're not the rapper
Gotta luv Hopsin. He stood his ground the entire interview.
