A little over one year after Los Angeles, California rapper Hopsin revealed his plans to move to Australia, the musician has officially embarked on his move to the country. In addition to confirming his move to Australia, Hopsin announced that he’s also quitting rap.
In a post uploaded to Instagram today (December 17), the West Coast wordsmith thanked his fans for their support and concluded that music isn’t a profession that’s for him. He later added that he’s signed his half of his Funk Volume label to his business partner, and also wished the best of luck to fellow artists Swizzz, Dizzy Wright, and Jarren Benton.
Along with a photo of himself at the airport, Hopsin added the following message:
“I just wanted to take time out to say I appreciate all of u who have supported my music over these past few years. A Lot of u have told me stories about how I have changed your life. You too have changed mine in ways that u can never imagine. Unfortunately, tonight is the night that I am actually moving away to Australia. Over the past couple years I have come to conclusion that this profession just isn’t for me, so im going to venture out into new areas of life. I will always be an MC at heart, but this rap stuff just isn’t for me. I hope Youguys can respect it. I’ve signed over my half of the funk volume label to my business partner Dame. I also wished Swizzz, Dizzy Wright and Jarren Benton good luck in their careers. Thank u all! I’m out.”
In December of last year, Hopsin shared his plans to move to Australia to find himself.
“After the world tour I want to take a break for a year and just live—and I’mma move to Australia and just find myself,” Hopsin said during an interview with SKEE TV. “And just live a—cater to my personal life more than the career side of everything. Cause it’s kinda stressful right now… The people there are so cool. I like the vibe. I like new places and I like the fact that I’m gonna be there and I’m just gonna not really know anybody.
“There will be fans who know me and all that, but I’m just gonna be there,” he added. “I’m not gonna have any real friends and I can start from scratch. I’m gonna be in an area where nobody’s gonna know where I’m at. I’m just [gonna] walk down the street and just meet people. And just make new, organic friends off of me just being Marcus, hopefully.”
In the length of his music career, Hopsin has released a handful of albums including Raw, and most recently, 2013’s Knock Madness.
White boys go to Canada. Black guys go to Australia. Antarctica, Mexico, South America, Asia, Russia, and the Middle East sucks. We already left Africa and Europe. We can’t go back now.
hes pulling a reverse iggy. nigga gonna quit rappin and move to australia to be a white girl
And fuck you
LMAO
Of course this white boy would move to Australia.
I see what you did there…
Australia… First thing in my mind is that they have a terrible British-like accent. Bad choice, Hop.
Unlike your “AMERICAN ENGLISH ACCENTS”
P,S, After briefly reading all the comments below no wonder every other country hates your dumb asses
98% of the comments below are from the same (lonely troll) i.e Drake Runs Rap AKA Brotha Dee AKA Ricky Roza AKA that weird over 30 dude who should have grown out of TROLLING by now .Get a life creepy .LOL
yeah that accent is the worst
nothing against australians but their accent has to be the worst hands down.
Americans have the worst accents, You guys speak through your noses
“British accent” there’s about a 100 accents in the UK, idiot.
Americans just mad we fuck all there girls and can talk faster than there small minds can work.
When did I say I was American? I’m from a Nordic country.
And by the way… “Americans just mad we fuck all there girls and can talk faster than there small minds can work.”
“we fuck all there girls”… What? All “there” girls? It should read “their”! I’m not saying you’re stupid, but that might be just your idiotic accent that makes you spell wrong.
you got the headline wrong.. Hopsin didn’t quit rap, rap quit Hopsin.
LOOOOOOOOL…GOOD RIDDANCE. THIS FOOL THOUGHT HE COULD STEAL EMINEM’S STYLE, ACT LIKE SOME WEIRDO AND DISS EVERY TOP RAPPER IN THE GAME TO SELL RECORDS…GUESS WHAT…THE FANS SPAT ON YOUR FACE AND YOUR USELESS MUSIC. BE ORIGINAL IDIOT.
I GUESS ALL THAT WEIRDO ACTING TO APPEAL TO WHITE BOYS TO BUY YOUR ALBUM DIDNT WORK OUT. NOW THAT YOUR HOME BOYS ARE DISSING YOU, YOU MAD AS HELL AND YOU WANNA RUN T AUSTRALIA. I HOPE THOSE SKIN-HEADS-RACIST-CUNTS IN AUSTRALIA BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA YA.
{AUSTRALIA ACCENT}CHERIO MATEY!!
Hopsins youtube views copped more guac than you ever will and I ain’t even of fan of his
Take the caps lock off and stop yelling
Actually, as somebody thats lived in a few countries, I can tell you first hand thats not even close to being true.
This nigga did nothing but hate and act like a fucking cornball. It was only frail ass edgy white boys who liked this clown anyway. This is probably the best news in hip-hop all year.
na he was good… sounds like ur mad>?
He was good but his content was real weak. His first album was filled with literally %50 disses towards Tameka Thompson for a bad record deal with Tameka Thompson. He continued to be a Hip Hop troll and admitting it. He said he dissed Tyler the Creator for attention. He said the same thing when he dissed Kendrick.
I can’t be bothered to have dope MCs used their skills to perpetuate bullshit.
Nah a troll is someone who does something to piss other people off but is actually humorous this dude was 100% lame and corny.
Thank God. I’ve been praying for this day for the last 5 years. I hope them neo nazis in Australia lynch his blue eye contact wearing ass.
Australian Neo nazis? Get a map and read a book dickhead hahaha!
Neo Nazis are worldwide and Australia is very racist towards people of color too. Smarter you aren’t that smart at all and sound stupid as fuck.
Good. One less sorry MC to water down the ART. Deuces.
LOL
HAHAHAHAHA I’ve never listened to more than one song from homie but he accomplished his goals, traveled the world & gained much respect in the process. While I was living in Venice Beach my homie Alex used to skate with Hop all the time & described him as a good dude. People are actually hating when they are probably working a 9 – 5 with 0 goals or dreams. some of you people are so apparently depressed & sad. the comments sections on the internet are the most vile places in all existence.
Wow. Bunch of hatin’ ass dudes in here lol. Claiming they love hip-hop, but have not heard any of his shit besides disses. Lord have mercy. Enjoy that Carter V.
Lmao.
Yeah cause that’s the only Hip Hop album to look forward too right ? I think you need to put that “Hip Hop” fan thing up to your face.
What a delight to see someone leave show business with everything in front of them. Massive respect to Hopsin for following his heart – something many don’t have the balls to do. I wish him good fortune. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Respect to Hopsin for following his heart and not getting indulged into the wealth and fame like other rappers.
A few being two.. Hahah idiot! How well travelled of you.
Fuck!this guy is a much better rappers like tyler,sweatshirt,cole and so on.Could have been huge had he been signed with a major backing him.
this nigga quite rap every two months really lame
He was Eminem’s mockingbird for so long, I hope Em breaks your neck since you stopped singing. Feel me?
“psyche” he didnt actually quit though.
