It’s a known fact among fans that rapper Hopsin got his career start as an actor in films like Fame. Now, in a recent interview with Nardwuar and iamOTHER via Nah Right, the Cali rapper digs deep into his prior acting career.
Hopsin revealed that he actually acted on the children’s series “That’s So Raven” for a number of years. He says he also had jobs as an extra in a number of other shows and films, including John Tucker Must Die and “Lizzie McGuire.”
“The ‘That’s So Raven’ thing, I was actually a day-player on there. I had to audition for it, but I’ve done like hundreds of shows,” he recalled. “That was my job, being an extra, from like 15 up until age 22 years old. That was my job until I actually got an income from rapping…I was on a lot. I was on ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ I’ve done extra work on ‘That’s So Raven,’ I’ve done extra work on ‘Even Stevens,’ I’ve done it on the movie John Tucker Must Die.”
Hopsin also discussed his love of skateboarding and his favorite skateboarding rapper. Hopsin began by trashing Lil Wayne’s recent foray into skating, but did praise Yelawolf’s skating ability.
“My favorite skater rapper of all time who’s like, really killing it, is my nigga Lil Wayne. He be shredding – psych. He’s fucking whack,” he said. “Yelawolf is a [good] skater rapper. He’s super dope. That’s probably the only one that I’ll co-sign.”
Check out the full interview below.
If Lil Wayne participates in every skating event possible, just show up and do a manual here and there a 2 inch ollie maybe, sheep niggas are gonna think he’s the best skater out like he did with his wack rhymes.
he still cant do a proper ollie after like 2 years on the board
fashawn got skills on the board too though
Birdman has already deployed the goons.
yeah birdman’s goons (Drake and Tyga)
^ softest goons ever deployed.
I would seriously smack the shit out of this clown if I ever saw him
Thanks dude for backing me up!
But Hops is right, I suck balls!!!
no you wouldn’t bitch you’re only saying that because you feel TOUGH behind a computer like a punkass bitch ethug stfu and say that come to my city earlimart california you bitch ass shit talking imbecile
Yea thats right wel show u how we get down in metropolitan cali!
HAHA WHERE THE FUCK IS ERLIMART…THE BOONS.
Haters be hating though. Hopsin is right, Weezy can’t skate.
Young cats copy any and EVERYTHING rappers do! I see all these young Black dudes on skateboards now. Do what you do but damn, cats WERE NOT into that shit before Wayne got into it. I bet if Wayne started ice skating you lame cats would go lace up your figure skates.
They had black skaters for the longest, and they were called oreos, nerds and everything else in the book. Heard of Stevie Williams?
stevie started dgk but he sold it to the white guys
Mr. Blackman either you stupid, being ignorant on purpose, or just living in a box… If stupid ass noticed Lil Wayne jumped into skateboarding, us black people that do skateboard have been doing it way longer and are actually good at it…
what mr blackman said is still true though. niggas be dickriding what other niggas do. like niggas changed their personalities over night and shit.
if wayne started doing pottery tomorrow guarenteed niggas would be saying that is whats poppin next week lol
whoa whoa whoa whats wrong with triple axles on the ice dawg?
i dont think wayne has a talent for skating. yea hes passionate about it but i dont think hes one of those guys thats a natural. Wayne still looks like he has a hard time balancing on the board and its been damn near two years since he started.
I know right. Every time I see him on a board it looks like he’s gonna flop
Wayne is trash on the mic & on his 4 wheels. Yelawolf is better. Not sure about the skateboarding because i’ve never seen him on a board but i’m sure he has skill. It’s wild to think Hopsin was on disney shows as a background actor.
so people get mad at each other over something like this?
Unbearably wack rapper discusses unbearably wack rapper
You know the world is fucked up when skater and rapper are in the same sentence. SMDH.
YEAH! rappers should only play basektabll all those other sports are wack. dumbass
This cornball sitting here with contacts in his eyes admitting to being on disney channel and calling somebody else wack. Fucking dumb ass nigga.
lol for real
I cannot believe this nobody trying to get some fame. The thirst
Not really sure what he’d be thirsty for…getting interviewed by Nardwuar, owning his own label & having a huge fanbase for an indie rapper is probably good enough for him. Lame ass
is it just me or is his nose fucking HUGE? damn that things looks big
you know this world is fucked up when someone could live off this income for 7 years.
LMAO SO MANY DUDES MAD. GO STICK ON YOUR GIRL OR MOMS LEGGINGS AND A LIL WAYNE CD AND CRY FOR THIS DUDE BECAUSE HOPSIN TOLD PEOPLE WHAT HE THINKS… FAGGOTS
wayne fans are mad hes tellin the truth about your boy weezy

haha thats cute
That being cute is cute. Awwwwwwwww. :’)
Get a room faggots
remember not all of these anonymous’s are dudes some are females too who like grabbing hopsin’s nuts

Hopsin is the GOAT!!
HOPSIN stay sonning lil wayne.
1 ugly motha fuka
Who is this dude?
Dis nigga just jealous cause his albums goin wood. weezy goes platinum in 1 week. swag
Beware for “Goulish Part 2”.
@Mr Blackman, semi true, only about niggas switching to ice skating if Wayne did it.
“My obligation, expose all you funny bunnies
Rappers acting slash fudge packing for the money
‘Cause next week if the new fad was hip hop fags
You’ll find a lot of these thug niggaz in drag, believe that”- Ras Kass
Disney Ass Nigga! wearing contacts n shit! Fuck Lil Wayne too!
You’re hating cuz he wears contacts? Really? Is not being able to see more gangsta? Maybe you would prefer glasses? really?
@Waldaeo im sure The Wigger Hater meant all white contacts and yeah thats fucking gay. And I find it funny that he doesnt cosign Wayne as a skateboard rapper but people dont respect him as a rapper at all this is hip hop not the X-Games niggas dont give 2 fucks about no goddamn skateboards Hopsin is for the crackers, weird black kids, and faggots
and PS he has a fucking eye ring…..
@ Waldaeo I meant the color of his contacts, the only people who should wear colored contacts are women, homo-sexuals and those ACTORS from Twilight lol
He said Hopsin is for the crackers, weird black kids, and faggots lmfao thats too funny but true
ctfu Wayne is a trash ass skater though….
Fuck Lil Wayne !! He was good but does trash for what ? 5 years ! He just got the mass media who want to daze people behind him !!
The jig is up !!!!!
hopsin is talented but he never stops talking shit about the rap game. to the point where im bored of him now, cause he just sounds like a hater. im not a lil wayne fan, but atleast he made it, he’s making money, and living his dreams. if hop keeps going down this road he’s never gunna make it, so much talent gone to waste.
thats the real dude right here.. he got meaning behind his words.. his not hater, he just hate fakeness.
