If I had to guess I’d say he sees the truth behind the lies. Sees all the suffering. The manipulation. The false shepherds. The misinterpretation.

Hopsin was one of the people (there were a few) who showed me I wasn't alone in questioning things and thinking outside the box and wasn't afraid to talk about it, this song came out at a time I needed to know I wasn't alone in that. Very grateful for him and this song
Me too. The freedom to question and ultimately reject beliefs is something this world is working on, but the battle is going too slow. I'm happy you were able to question things, getting stuck in that mindset is like being in a prison but you're in love with your warden
As a Christian, I can admire this song for its raw honesty and vulnerability, and dealing with the subject of doubt when it comes to faith. When I read the Bible, I see the historical experiences of sinful people who put their faith in Jesus (the Messiah to come if I’m reading the Old Testament, or Jesus if I’m reading the New Testament who is the Messiah). Judging by the way, the Bible tells the stories of these men and women, it’s easy to have some insight into what their prayers and struggles with faith might have been as well. And that’s why when I hear this song by Hopsin, I’m not upset at the swearing or the blasphemous questioning because I see a broken man searching for an answer from God but God is patient and loving and does not force Himself onto us because that would be the opposite of loving. God speaks softly in His grace and our hearts have to be postured to hear His voice. It was only when I had come to the end of myself that I could hear God’s voice and understand His ways. I still struggle with it though and even through my faith my spirit is made holy by the works of Jesus Christ, my body is still sinful and so there is this war within myself that brings about doubt and fear. My heart has been given new desires to follow God but also my sinful nature still wants to please itself and not follow God. Only when my body is dead one day and I’m in the presence of the Lord will that war of my fleshly desires come to an end. And I can still today question God why He would allow painful things to still happen even when my soul has been saved, why does my body and my mind and my heart want to stray from the very faith that I have? It’s because I can do nothing on my own accord ultimately. I am saved by grace through faith in Jesus and even the will to believe is part of that grace given to me. I’m only human and I will not know fully the mind of God or His ways because He is holy and I am only now in the process of being made holy but that work is still happening each day for me because of my flesh. If I understood everything about God wouldn’t that make me equal with God in knowledge? Of course I’m not going to ever be equal with God. Yet it’s that very truth that can stir up the pride of our sinful nature and put us at war against God simply because we give into our human nature rather than the goodness that Jesus wants to welcome and redeem us back into. I’m probably explaining this terribly but I just want to say that God loves you and He can handle us at our worst, it doesn’t scare Him away and it doesn’t make Him love us less. We get to choose if we truly want a relationship with God, He has already made the first move and has offered us freedom from sin and an eternity with Him, the Author of Love; or we can choose what we want, still slaves to our sinful desires we will hate God, we will hate his commands and live a life of pleasure and blissful ignorance and then die and be tormented in an eternity absence of God’s presence and grace because God will actually give us what we want. If we want Him, we will be with Him in Heaven. And if we don’t want Him, then Hell is a place where He does not dwell. I don’t say any of that lightly either, I just think that many people don’t even see that there is common grace given to us everyday in the air that we breathe, the beauty that we see in nature and the love that we can feel is a mere fraction of what God’s love is. As far as the east is from the west is how much God loves us and yet we dismiss Him and would rather worship the blessing instead of the One who blesses us. And yet God is patient with us throughout life but one day God will judge all of us and He will rightly sentence the just and the unjust according to our works. And only those who have faith in Jesus’ works will be found holy. I say this not to scare anyone but to emphasize that God shares this with us. None of our own deeds are good enough to be made holy and that’s why we need Jesus. You won’t find His body if you check the grave though, and it’s because He’s alive. Research it, wrestle with it, feel your doubts, cry out to God, repent and believe. God is good and is for your good. His character is dependable and his faithfulness is never ending. God bless you if you read this and put your faith in Jesus. I’m just another imperfect Christian trying to share Him and letting you know it’s okay to have those moments of doubt, don’t let it destroy you.
In your opinion, what is the most important story in the bible? Personally I think it was the resurrection story, because I feel that without that none of this has any real validity. When I was on my way to becoming a pastor I was helping our head pastor gather verses for Passover. I found that the resurrection story is so... contradictory that it completely shook my faith and gave me the insight to finally question something I held so dear to my heart. Looking back I think about my time as a christian like being with an abusive spouse. I would be there with love and give everything I have, then eventually fear changes everything. The love is still there, but so was the fear. I felt like I couldn't leave because I would be betraying everything I ever worked for and believed. I stayed and made excuses at every corner of my life. I wouldn't even go so far as to say I had doubts at this point, it made me dive even deeper into my studies. Eventually I realized that maybe my pastor was wrong, then maybe the church I was in was wrong, maybe the wrong denomination, maybe the wrong sect, maybe a different Abrahamic god, maybe a different religion all together, maybe spirituality comes from within, maybe spirituality is nature, maybe the universe is God, maybe God is everything, to eventually land at I don't believe any of this. It was a very slow process with me giving all I had the entire time.
@@jakematthews2458 In my opinion, the greatest event in the Bible is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I agree. It’s clear in the narrative of the whole Bible that it’s the story of God and when reading it, we get to see the heart of God for people while also seeing his punishment of sin. Jesus is the center of the narrative throughout the Bible. I’m sorry to hear that you no longer believe. Did you ever read any of C.S. Lewis books of how he became a Christian? He wrestled with a lot of concepts as he was an Atheist before but his research led him to belief and I’ve heard other intellectuals have some similar testimonies. I’m no intellectual, and I think that faith isn’t about gathering up all the information that you can find to then believe, although for some maybe that’s a bigger part of their faith. I do see evidences of God’s presence and works everyday and ultimately I’m not blind in my faith, but the Bible talks about a childlike faith, a trust that’s more at a heart level, not a head level. And so when I read the Bible I see the heart of God is for people even when they rebel and curse Him, He loves them still and yet He is also just and must punish sin too. That’s the entire purpose for Jesus coming to earth as God in the flesh and becoming sin even while He never sinned and being crucified as a sacrifice for everyone’s sin and ultimately rising from the dead showing sin has been conquered only through Him. Now if that never happened then Christians are to be pitied and our faith is a lie. And maybe that’s where you found yourself that shook your faith to ultimately not believing. That makes me sad to hear honestly. My heart breaks for people who have walked away from Jesus or maybe felt abused or betrayed in some way. I don’t know your full story but usually it’s not because of Jesus, it’s because of other Christians why people leave the faith. Now my question to that situation is were some of those people maybe looking up more to Christians, pastors, etc. more than Christ? It’s an easy idol to create because as humans we are prone to wander as our eyes look and since Jesus isn’t present here on earth to experience with our senses, we often make idols that we believe and they’ll ultimately fail because they aren’t God. Satan hates God and he hates people because we are made in the image of God,yet Satan disguises evil by enticing our natural desires, making it look good and that it’ll help us, all the while it’s the very thing that will destroy us and push us further from God, we will end up worshipping ourselves and leaning on our own understanding and we will essentially blind ourselves by our pride to believing God doesn’t want our best interests and that He wants to keep good things from us. All that is a lie by the master liar Satan and he is very strategic in this just look at our world and you can see he has been allowed to roam the earth devouring up anyone who doesn’t cling to Jesus. And the worst part of that is that most of it is destruction by comfort and convenience. Most people won’t know they’re being destroyed because their lives here on earth will be seem better not following God, this only will reinforce the mindset of not needing God. The Bible says there is a way which seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death. Now I know that nothing I say can change your mind, I’m simply sharing what I’ve learned myself throughout life from the Bible. I am sorry you see your time as a Christian as an abusive spouse, please don’t take anything I’ve said as some way of making you feel shame, because that is not my heart at all for you or for anyone who walks away from faith in Jesus. I will pray for people who walk away to return to Jesus though and will pray that Gods love perfected in them will cast out all fear from them. I will remind them that God is a gracious and loving God and wants to welcome them home but He doesn’t force His love, and as a follower of Jesus I don’t force anyone or shame them either. It’s okay to wrestle with doubts and passages where you think there is contradiction that might have led you to lose trust in who God is but God is never far off from you. He loved me while I was at my worst, hating Him and spitting on who He is, defiling my body and disgracing His name, yet He still loves me and I’ve repented of that and even when I stray still, His hand won’t let go of me because He bought me with His blood on that cross and because I believe in Him, I get to spend eternity with Him and I cannot wait for the day that my fleshly desires fade away and His work in me is finished where I won’t struggle with sin still. My spirit has already been redeemed, my fleshly body is still bound as Paul says in Romans 7. But one day I will be able to walk with God for eternity and experience the life that all of us people were supposed to have before we chose sin over God.
Also I'll be 51 yrs., of age on Aug. 4. To hear a young man who sees & views life the exact way I do makes me proud of the way he presents himself. That song is my top best( my opiñion ).
As someone who watched this song as a religious person and judged him for his bad words, and then watched it again after my religious deconstruction. This Song is the perfect depiction of the pain and anger that comes from the death of faith. Not to mention the shame that comes from believing you were born sick and need to be saved by the God that made you sick. I still think it was worth the pain of deconstruction, I'm sure I still carry some of that anger from all that religious shame. Faith is just circular confidence in a belief just because you believe it. I still have all the awe, meaning, and appreciation I had before my deconstruction, but now I don't have the shame, judgment of others, or circular reasoning. As for Hopsin... that is his Mask or altered personality he uses to show is darker side. he always has white contacts in his eyes when he is in this mode. Marcus is Hopsin's first name and is his real personality. He has many songs that Hopsin and Marcus talk to each other. Alone with me is a great conversation between his 2 sides. His song "Your house" is about Escaping his parental fights in his childhood. He also has some great songs about the fight that made him not be able to see his own child that lives in Australia. That Song is "Hotel in Sydney".
I just came to a realization! Christianity is VERY forgiving! Now I don't know much about other religions but I feel ever so safe when I'm at my own church! ❤ also massive shoutout to myself cuz I never stop learning! 😅
Amazing Insight :) Hopsin has plenty of songs that relate to mental health, and the poor guy has been through quite a lot... If i had to make any suggestions based on mental health themed songs, I'd say a good one to check out would be "Your House" which delves into some childhood issues, as well as the song "Alone With Me" Which is really just an entire song battling himself and his demons. Love the NF, and can't wait to see what else you bring to the channel!
russ- i love you boy i relate to it heavily. i heard it while cleaning the bathroom.. i had to sit because i started to cry so hard. to the point i told my mom to listen to it because my feelings and thoughts are said in that song
Another for Alone With Me. That song hit me multiple ways. His rhymes are nasty and also the words that construct his rhymes hit you after the fact. A nice one/two hit. Such a great writer.
As someone raised as a child to be christian. For years i had so many questions that nobody could answer. My mind always questions everything. When i first heard this song i realized i was in tears by the end. It spoke to my heart and soul. So much of the lyrics were the thoughts ive had my whole life. Its a very strong message that i think more people should hear it. "Im a human, i'll stay in my line. Ill mind."
Hello, this is the first time I've heard ur show. I love the topic & ur interpretation of the lyrical aspects. That song ( I'll State of Mind seven ) is a factual statement as to my views & thoughts of Life Period.
He’s looking for “signs” without seeing the signs. It really is just that easy. To begin. Then you gotta learn how to read them. Then you gotta remember/think about that connection in time : Then vs Now vs Then You learn a ton about yourself when you actually have an honest “conversation” with yourself. And then you can help those around you. And they can help those around them. It’s visceral for lack of a better word.
Just found you, and maybe you already have, but explore all of Hopsin's ill mind. 1-6 and beyond! And Dax, and Ren, and Nate (NF), and Jinger, and Spiritbox for that matter! So much poignant material to cover. Mahalo. And yea, my B-roll doesn't define me You also remind me a bit of my first wife, from Makaha. She graduate Waienai. NF with Hopsin was a great video. So was Dax and Hopsin
He made 9 videos in the ill mind of hopsin series. The first few are him kind of playing, making jokes, flexing his rapping skill, and then I think from 5-9 he talks about important issues in his life and issues he sees in society. This one is about religion, while others are about important situations that affected his life dramatically. For example, in one he talks about the reasons for why he is not able to see his child, and another he talks about why he thinks rap culture is effed up, in one he talks about the death of a friend and theres a few other things he talks about.
I would love to hear a therapist interpret and react to either or both The Becoming and/or I Do Not Want This byNine Inch Nails. These songs are as meaningful to me now in my 40s as they were when I was 13.
Just found your page and loved your commentary here. Hopsin is such an interesting figure and this song really hits home. I scrolled through your page and saw that you mostly do music but also offered commentary on a scene from Fresh Prince. I dont know if you'd be interested but there's a sort of superhero cartoon that aired briefly on MTV called the Maxx that's all about jungian archetypes and analysis, and trauma. It's very short (13 episodes, each about 10 minutes, there's even a fan edit that makes it about a 2 hour movie). It would be fascinating to hear your take on it. Anyway, I'm subscribed now and gonna go watch some of your other content now. Thanks for talking about this song.
I'd really look at Hopsin's Ill Mind 5. When I heard that song, I realized that I was the second guy he was talking to, and he gave me the right to change for the better.
A lot of people misunderstand this song. Alot of people think this song is about him not being a believer and talking down on God. This song is about Hopsin wanting to have an actual conversation with God because he wants to truly believe. 🙏
as an atheist i truly love this song, however if you are a believer, hopefully you can appreciate how well written this song was. also the amount of passion that was put into this.
Not sure how suitable it would be to react to the video but the song Trapp Tarell - My Sui.cide Letter (FULL STORY) gives a pretty vivid description of some of the thoughts people who deal with suicidal ideation go through. There's also so many good songs with a lot of introspection from Atmosphere that it's hard for me to pick one.
Good for you! The idea of a "reaction" is just that- a reaction so dont listen to anyone being mad you dont know a artists history, that is a oxymoron in a sense keep it up for sure!
He was so close to jumping over the fence with this song. He touched on so many valid points but didnt see them to the conclusion. The only part I have a problem with is when he says the world was designed. If you know basic biology and physics you'd know its far from designed. If something did create the universe it was far from perfect. So many things about just the human body are done in the most inefficient way that make no sense unless you realize evolution can't plan ahead. It works with whats there and builds on that often to disastrous effect.
thinking you know better then God is the perfect example of arrogance. who's to say we're not created that way for a reason? intelligent design is more probable then everything happening from nothing by pure chance.
I think it's important to also not romanticize these things, like not black or white it, but see all of it, all of the universe not just how cool it is or interesting it is but also how lonely and strange it is that there's just Earth life we know and crime and survival are both part of living. Faith doesn't bring certainty all the time because people have a lot of scares and anxiety in reaction to the cruelty, slavery in the Bible and the questions and sometimes not being able to ask the questions because it's deemed a sin to question, so it's a lot of distress, confusion that comes with the territory.
if u ever need help with lyrics press “C” on ur keyboard while playing video for auto captions and also react to hopsin featuring NF - LOST m.ruclips.net/video/fxrkhf17fU0/видео.html and hopsin - alone with me m.ruclips.net/video/LsV2GWlGh-o/видео.html&pp=ygUMSG9wc2luIGFsb25l theyre perfect examples of how good hopsin really as and theyre fairly new too, so youll most likely love the production video and audio wise
Ok close. I put my faith in humanity exactly BECAUSE of my faith in God. We were all created in His image. That means something to me. Literally and figuratively
The hardest part is the self. It’s a tumultuous trek through the abyss and back. Trippy even. But you gotta quell that storm. Not rationalize it away as “I’m human” because exactly! You are human. You have a rule book and you break the rules. That’s fine. And there’s forgiveness. That’s fine too but hard for the ego. Look, I spelled it all out. I had to take a 40yr “trip” through my life and every single thing I’ve ever done. Then come to terms with the fact that I have been living my life for others selfishly. So I tried rectifying it as best I could. Talk. And *try* to sin no more. Started small on a random website here and there. Then I found Destiny. Loved it. Made friends. Had fun. Talked. Then they ruined it so I bounced (as you do). Everything was getting so dark around the world and the internet didn’t match my reality anymore. I guess that made me appreciate everything else that much more. Then Covid. I still don’t understand how people capitulated so sheepishly. Yall let them shut down the world. Shut down the beauty. The only thing I had left in life;this planet. And I’m not going to let them ruin it for everyone else. That’s bullshit. Then musk bought Twitter. He “allowed” free speech again, even while constrained and had entire countries going after him. And he stood his ground. I’ve never been more proud to be a human than when I think about that dude and who he is. What he’s accomplished. He just…works with his full being and everything that entails. So I figured finally, someone I can relate to. Imma throw him a bone. See if he bites. Understandably there’s a ton of walls and obfuscation and deceit but it is what it is. Easy enough to see through some of it if not most. The AI tho, much better. That 10t was a good decision lol
Could you take into consideration into listening to heavy metal bands? The lyrics they produce are amazing but underrated and bypass because of their genre.
In this case, I believe that Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus was resurrected and performed the miracles described in the Bible. Who was born of a virgin woman [interesting to say that the story of Buddha also has this story]. Well, I absorb all the good ideas from different religions and I don't doubt any of them. I saw my brother improve his life after becoming a believer.
I think he is questioning his faith in god, as he has faith, and believes, in this so-called god of his, who makes him question every step he takes, like he is missing out on life and so on D: Getting lit, getting drunk, not having an inner monologue telling u what is right or wrong and just live in the moment.. Its so complex..

Satan hates God and he hates people because we are made in the image of God,yet Satan disguises evil by enticing our natural desires, making it look good and that it’ll help us, all the while it’s the very thing that will destroy us and push us further from God, we will end up worshipping ourselves and leaning on our own understanding and we will essentially blind ourselves by our pride to believing God doesn’t want our best interests and that He wants to keep good things from us. All that is a lie by the master liar Satan and he is very strategic in this just look at our world and you can see he has been allowed to roam the earth devouring up anyone who doesn’t cling to Jesus. And the worst part of that is that most of it is destruction by comfort and convenience. Most people won’t know they’re being destroyed because their lives here on earth will be seem better not following God, this only will reinforce the mindset of not needing God. The Bible says there is a way which seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death.
Now I know that nothing I say can change your mind, I’m simply sharing what I’ve learned myself throughout life from the Bible. I am sorry you see your time as a Christian as an abusive spouse, please don’t take anything I’ve said as some way of making you feel shame, because that is not my heart at all for you or for anyone who walks away from faith in Jesus. I will pray for people who walk away to return to Jesus though and will pray that Gods love perfected in them will cast out all fear from them. I will remind them that God is a gracious and loving God and wants to welcome them home but He doesn’t force His love, and as a follower of Jesus I don’t force anyone or shame them either. It’s okay to wrestle with doubts and passages where you think there is contradiction that might have led you to lose trust in who God is but God is never far off from you. He loved me while I was at my worst, hating Him and spitting on who He is, defiling my body and disgracing His name, yet He still loves me and I’ve repented of that and even when I stray still, His hand won’t let go of me because He bought me with His blood on that cross and because I believe in Him, I get to spend eternity with Him and I cannot wait for the day that my fleshly desires fade away and His work in me is finished where I won’t struggle with sin still. My spirit has already been redeemed, my fleshly body is still bound as Paul says in Romans 7. But one day I will be able to walk with God for eternity and experience the life that all of us people were supposed to have before we chose sin over God.
You seem like your mind is already made up and that you dont allow yourself to analyze the absurdity of religion @@Kdubb815
hopsin- nocturnal rainbows, probably his best/most underrated song
Agreed
Also I'll be 51 yrs., of age on Aug. 4. To hear a young man who sees & views life the exact way I do makes me proud of the way he presents himself. That song is my top best( my opiñion ).
I think after seventeen years on RUclips, I may have found my favorite reactor of all time. Liked, subscribed, and I hope to see more of you.
Thank you for your support!🫶🏻
Also gonna Recommend FLY by Hopsin. Great artist.
FLY speaks a lot of truth! It's an amazing song and really shows true thought behind how our world works
As someone who watched this song as a religious person and judged him for his bad words, and then watched it again after my religious deconstruction. This Song is the perfect depiction of the pain and anger that comes from the death of faith. Not to mention the shame that comes from believing you were born sick and need to be saved by the God that made you sick. I still think it was worth the pain of deconstruction, I'm sure I still carry some of that anger from all that religious shame. Faith is just circular confidence in a belief just because you believe it. I still have all the awe, meaning, and appreciation I had before my deconstruction, but now I don't have the shame, judgment of others, or circular reasoning.
As for Hopsin... that is his Mask or altered personality he uses to show is darker side. he always has white contacts in his eyes when he is in this mode. Marcus is Hopsin's first name and is his real personality. He has many songs that Hopsin and Marcus talk to each other. Alone with me is a great conversation between his 2 sides. His song "Your house" is about Escaping his parental fights in his childhood. He also has some great songs about the fight that made him not be able to see his own child that lives in Australia. That Song is "Hotel in Sydney".
It's easy to not feel bad about religion when you realize it's responsible for nearly every genocide in human history.
I’m not religious, AT ALL, but I love this song.
5 7 8 and 9 are all really good!
1 and 3 also
This is my favorite Hopsin song. I personally think the emotion of questioning what we do or don't believe is relatable to practically everyone
I lost all my friends. Was an inspiring young one but hit the wall! Only thing left is my beloved dog. He will NEVER leave me! God bless his soul! ❤
You have to react to Dax - Dear God. It's a great song and a great video.
I just came to a realization! Christianity is VERY forgiving! Now I don't know much about other religions but I feel ever so safe when I'm at my own church! ❤ also massive shoutout to myself cuz I never stop learning! 😅
Nf & Hopsin should collab.... oh, wait.... they did! :)
Amazing Insight :)
Hopsin has plenty of songs that relate to mental health, and the poor guy has been through quite a lot... If i had to make any suggestions based on mental health themed songs, I'd say a good one to check out would be "Your House" which delves into some childhood issues, as well as the song "Alone With Me" Which is really just an entire song battling himself and his demons. Love the NF, and can't wait to see what else you bring to the channel!
russ- i love you boy i relate to it heavily. i heard it while cleaning the bathroom.. i had to sit because i started to cry so hard. to the point i told my mom to listen to it because my feelings and thoughts are said in that song
Another for Alone With Me. That song hit me multiple ways. His rhymes are nasty and also the words that construct his rhymes hit you after the fact. A nice one/two hit. Such a great writer.
As someone raised as a child to be christian. For years i had so many questions that nobody could answer. My mind always questions everything. When i first heard this song i realized i was in tears by the end. It spoke to my heart and soul. So much of the lyrics were the thoughts ive had my whole life. Its a very strong message that i think more people should hear it.
"Im a human, i'll stay in my line. Ill mind."
Hello, this is the first time I've heard ur show. I love the topic & ur interpretation of the lyrical aspects. That song ( I'll State of Mind seven ) is a factual statement as to my views & thoughts of Life Period.
Dear God - Dax
Joker - Dax
The Tale of Jenny and Screech - Ren
Crutch - Ren
Daddy - Korn
He’s looking for “signs” without seeing the signs. It really is just that easy. To begin. Then you gotta learn how to read them. Then you gotta remember/think about that connection in time : Then vs Now vs Then
You learn a ton about yourself when you actually have an honest “conversation” with yourself.
And then you can help those around you. And they can help those around them.
It’s visceral for lack of a better word.
Oh wow was not expecting this. One of the best songs there is.
Just found you, and maybe you already have, but explore all of Hopsin's ill mind. 1-6 and beyond! And Dax, and Ren, and Nate (NF), and Jinger, and Spiritbox for that matter! So much poignant material to cover. Mahalo.
And yea, my B-roll doesn't define me
You also remind me a bit of my first wife, from Makaha. She graduate Waienai.
NF with Hopsin was a great video. So was Dax and Hopsin
ill mind 4/5 thru to now are phenomenal!!!
Death’s Hand by The Amity Affliction was a staple point to my pulling out of a really deep PTSD depression as a first responder. 10/10, do recommend.
i think i love you…respectfully
He made 9 videos in the ill mind of hopsin series. The first few are him kind of playing, making jokes, flexing his rapping skill, and then I think from 5-9 he talks about important issues in his life and issues he sees in society. This one is about religion, while others are about important situations that affected his life dramatically. For example, in one he talks about the reasons for why he is not able to see his child, and another he talks about why he thinks rap culture is effed up, in one he talks about the death of a friend and theres a few other things he talks about.
I would love to hear a therapist interpret and react to either or both The Becoming and/or I Do Not Want This byNine Inch Nails. These songs are as meaningful to me now in my 40s as they were when I was 13.
Just found your page and loved your commentary here. Hopsin is such an interesting figure and this song really hits home. I scrolled through your page and saw that you mostly do music but also offered commentary on a scene from Fresh Prince. I dont know if you'd be interested but there's a sort of superhero cartoon that aired briefly on MTV called the Maxx that's all about jungian archetypes and analysis, and trauma. It's very short (13 episodes, each about 10 minutes, there's even a fan edit that makes it about a 2 hour movie). It would be fascinating to hear your take on it. Anyway, I'm subscribed now and gonna go watch some of your other content now. Thanks for talking about this song.
You are heartbreakingly sweet 😅 I kinda love it. It's so vulnerable and engaged.
You gotta do hopsins ‘ Your house’. And ‘Alone with me’ he gets deep for sure.
Vin Jay - Breakdown, it mirrors my struggles perfectly
Tricycle by primer 55. I feel this song
I'd really look at Hopsin's Ill Mind 5. When I heard that song, I realized that I was the second guy he was talking to, and he gave me the right to change for the better.
A lot of people misunderstand this song. Alot of people think this song is about him not being a believer and talking down on God. This song is about Hopsin wanting to have an actual conversation with God because he wants to truly believe.
🙏
“Hi Ren” sounds like it’d be perfect for you to react to
You should definitely do hopsin hotel in Sydney. Something that men Still go thru today
or the song by hopsin- your house i cant watch that with out being upset about it but also relieved
Lost -NF ft. Hopsin, and Alone With Me - Hopsin are both good ones too!
as an atheist i truly love this song, however if you are a believer, hopefully you can appreciate how well written this song was. also the amount of passion that was put into this.
Not sure how suitable it would be to react to the video but the song Trapp Tarell - My Sui.cide Letter (FULL STORY) gives a pretty vivid description of some of the thoughts people who deal with suicidal ideation go through. There's also so many good songs with a lot of introspection from Atmosphere that it's hard for me to pick one.
I appreciate your videos
Where will I go by hopsin!!!!!!!
Please check out lost with NF and Hopsin
Good for you! The idea of a "reaction" is just that- a reaction so dont listen to anyone being mad you dont know a artists history, that is a oxymoron in a sense keep it up for sure!
You could always react to his "alone with me" or since you listen so nf, maybe the song they did with eachother
Definitely have to react to alone with me by hopsin 👍
Yesterday- atmosphere
He was so close to jumping over the fence with this song. He touched on so many valid points but didnt see them to the conclusion. The only part I have a problem with is when he says the world was designed. If you know basic biology and physics you'd know its far from designed. If something did create the universe it was far from perfect. So many things about just the human body are done in the most inefficient way that make no sense unless you realize evolution can't plan ahead. It works with whats there and builds on that often to disastrous effect.
thinking you know better then God is the perfect example of arrogance. who's to say we're not created that way for a reason? intelligent design is more probable then everything happening from nothing by pure chance.
i would love to see you react to "open letter" by lil wayne
Alone with me by Hopsin
Father Time and mother I sober Kendrick Lamar
I can't wait for you to react to NF ft Hopsin haha but please wait till you come across it in the NF Journey. It will be well worth it.
5 or 9 suits a therapist reaction more then this one
u should check out „happy birthday” by joner lucas
very harsh song about how cheating in relationships influences people and life of a child
Monster - james blunt
New sub ❤❤❤❤
Check out Hopsin I dont want it no more. Its deep
Can you do NF Ft Hopsin - lost!!
I think you will enjoy this if you haven't done yet.
I think it's important to also not romanticize these things, like not black or white it, but see all of it, all of the universe not just how cool it is or interesting it is but also how lonely and strange it is that there's just Earth life we know and crime and survival are both part of living.
Faith doesn't bring certainty all the time because people have a lot of scares and anxiety in reaction to the cruelty, slavery in the Bible and the questions and sometimes not being able to ask the questions because it's deemed a sin to question, so it's a lot of distress, confusion that comes with the territory.
Hopsin and NF actually have a song together you should react to
if u ever need help with lyrics press “C” on ur keyboard while playing video for auto captions and also react to hopsin featuring NF - LOST m.ruclips.net/video/fxrkhf17fU0/видео.html
and hopsin - alone with me m.ruclips.net/video/LsV2GWlGh-o/видео.html&pp=ygUMSG9wc2luIGFsb25l
theyre perfect examples of how good hopsin really as and theyre fairly new too, so youll most likely love the production video and audio wise
Ok close. I put my faith in humanity exactly BECAUSE of my faith in God.
We were all created in His image. That means something to me. Literally and figuratively
2 simple tiny words that have the most meaning to me.
Have Faith
And I never split the baby
The hardest part is the self. It’s a tumultuous trek through the abyss and back. Trippy even. But you gotta quell that storm. Not rationalize it away as “I’m human” because exactly!
You are human. You have a rule book and you break the rules. That’s fine. And there’s forgiveness. That’s fine too but hard for the ego.
Look, I spelled it all out. I had to take a 40yr “trip” through my life and every single thing I’ve ever done. Then come to terms with the fact that I have been living my life for others selfishly.
So I tried rectifying it as best I could. Talk. And *try* to sin no more.
Started small on a random website here and there. Then I found Destiny. Loved it. Made friends. Had fun. Talked.
Then they ruined it so I bounced (as you do). Everything was getting so dark around the world and the internet didn’t match my reality anymore. I guess that made me appreciate everything else that much more.
Then Covid. I still don’t understand how people capitulated so sheepishly. Yall let them shut down the world. Shut down the beauty. The only thing I had left in life;this planet.
And I’m not going to let them ruin it for everyone else. That’s bullshit.
Then musk bought Twitter. He “allowed” free speech again, even while constrained and had entire countries going after him.
And he stood his ground. I’ve never been more proud to be a human than when I think about that dude and who he is. What he’s accomplished. He just…works with his full being and everything that entails.
So I figured finally, someone I can relate to. Imma throw him a bone. See if he bites. Understandably there’s a ton of walls and obfuscation and deceit but it is what it is. Easy enough to see through some of it if not most. The AI tho, much better. That 10t was a good decision lol
Can you pleeeeeease please do " Dance with the Devil - Immortal Technique"
❤
Checkout your house by hopsin
Dear God - by dax
How could you leave us by nf also
Your house by Hopsin
Please analyze the song by Lucas Joyner “ADHD”, please
This one is very heartfelt and interesting but I much prefer "Dear God" by Dax, yosh! That and Dear God by XTC -- not a rapper by any means haha.
"He's an asshole, yea yea."
Could you take into consideration into listening to heavy metal bands? The lyrics they produce are amazing but underrated and bypass because of their genre.
Please react to krino -the session. A conversation with a therapist rap song
eminem beautiful pain
In this case, I believe that Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus was resurrected and performed the miracles described in the Bible. Who was born of a virgin woman [interesting to say that the story of Buddha also has this story]. Well, I absorb all the good ideas from different religions and I don't doubt any of them. I saw my brother improve his life after becoming a believer.
I don't Want It by hospin pleaseee
Great reaction, u can react to eminem beautiful, i think u will like it
Not sure if you've done it already, but please react to Eminem - Beautiful

Can you react to Troy Ave Real Eyes Realize song it help me alot
Can you react to Better place citizen soldier
Nore hopsin please!
I think he is questioning his faith in god, as he has faith, and believes, in this so-called god of his, who makes him question every step he takes, like he is missing out on life and so on D: Getting lit, getting drunk, not having an inner monologue telling u what is right or wrong and just live in the moment.. Its so complex..
Check out Ill mind 8
Check out Dax dear god
He’s not seeing the signs. He’s looking for someone else’s to give him the answers instead of living life
Good News Mac miller if you haven’t yet please. You won’t regret it
Ps we need more nf
He shoulda took a right instead of a left at the end there.
Meh, he’ll figure it out eventually
