Hopsin says that his subject matter makes him stand out.
“The difference between me and other rappers is i actually care about earth and expanding our minds,” the Funk Volume rapper says in a series of tweets posted yesterday (August 12). “I’m probably the only rapper genuinely hitting subjects that will make u think about what the hell is really going on in this world.”
Hopsin released his Pound Syndrome album last month. The album features the song “Ill Mind of Hopsin 7,” which includes the rapper questioning religion in general and Christianity specifically. In another tweet posted yesterday, he mentions his willingness to discuss such polarizing topics.
“I’m the only rapper who had the balls to publicly question God and religion without being afraid of what it would make me look like,” he writes. “I’m truly the hip hop sinister in the eyes of the mainstream world. I’ve seen them turn you all into dumb assess one by one.”
Elsewhere, the California rapper-executive examines Drake’s status in rap.
“Drake is the hottest rapper in the game,” Hopsin writes. “He got exposed and we saw that he has a ghost writer and he’s still at the top. This ain’t hip hop.”
Hopsin also compares the Rap and porn industries.
“The rap and porn industry are the only professions where you don’t have to have skills to get in it,” he writes.
Hopsin’s Ill Mind of Hopsin 7″ and his tweets are as follows:
For additional Hopsin coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
honestly..i’m not even a hopsin fan..he’s got a few good songs..but i don’t really like his style much..its like eminem meets tech n9ne..but the dudes real as fuck. and i respect him for what he does and what he says. he really is one of the only ones keeping it real with us.
i feel the exact same way as you dude. i dont like hopsin either, but i at least respect him.. sort of. haha. but he was on point with his tweets above.
Same respect i got for tech 9 i got for hopsin,i play their jamz all day,they’r few of the real skillful rappers we got arround
The problem is, Hopsin does shit for attention. He’s the much less street 50 Cent. Remember when he dissed Game and then quickly backed off? He has very little merit and his last single for pound syndrome is exactly what he hates, he is just angry that his bullshit isn’t on the radio when he hasn’t made anything worth a fuck since Raw. Hopsin is the Epitome of MySpace Scene Girl except he raps.
Hopsin is a self-made Millionaire..how is that not succesful? Why would he be mad?…hes talkin from a HipHop Head point-of-view, hes saying what everyone is thinking…
A hip hop head point of view? No he sounds retarded. How are you gonna criticize something you tried and failed at? How are you gonna bitch about a trend when he’s a horrorcore rapper over cartoony beats? It’s him going on a “I’m not famous and rich because everyone else” rant. I also doubt he’s a millionaire let alone self made.
Nikkaz always get like this when they don’t pop off
man Its sad.
The only rapper to publicly question religion and God? How about Ras Kass, the nature of the threat circa 1996 nigga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just about EVERYTHING Hopsin has rapped about that these fans call ‘deep’ has been said better musically by a huge number of emcees throughout hip-hop history. A lot of his fans claim ‘real hip-hop’ but don’t know shit in the grand scheme of things
That was more of about the origins of racism.
U mean on earth as it is… same album tho soul on ice >
I’m with you, Hopsin. Drake most certainly got exposed for having a writing tutor. This ain’t Kumon, this ain’t the Sylvan Learning Center, Drake. Nigga thought he could Spark Note his albums…please! You’ve been expelled from Hip-Hop for plagiarism.
Jst cuz u question god existence don mean u intelligent nigga! Drake actually has more talent in his lil toe dan dis lost soul.
SO a guy who gets ghostwritten for has more talent then a guy who writes and produces his own music…you’re the problem with Hip-Hop kid, get the fuck out please an go to Punk Rock or somethin with your fuckery
Drake is very talented but he uses his talent for bullshit he has no real substance!
Fake rappers made the innocent weak.
I never thought I’d say this.. but spot on Hopsin
Hopsin is always the man of integrity. Damn this blows my mind away mr truth. This fake rappers rap about how they have a stack of money in the roof then we think that will magically happen to us. This rap is very brainwashing. Some people say it helps get women.
Hopsin, this fucking music of Americans is now depressing. Some of the music in America is all about sex. Very degrading to control human minds with sex instead of art. F*ck Americans with their music. I’m sticking to listening to this African drums. or else I’m gonna listen to the sound of music while I have a hot iron prodded on my ear.
I still hail this guy. After taking some breath I just popped to history then here again. Hopsin just say it all. Americans are reflectors of their culture. Same thing repeating everyday. Damn
Dismissing God & Drake’s authenticity Mr ‘Another Twitter Finger’? haha
Did u call benton up and tell him to stop making trap lol na he’s one of the good ones right hypocritical theres trappers on FV!

Damn son…the only thing I like about twitter. You can tell who’s real or just a hypocrit
Weirdo rapper #1=Hopsin
Na that would be lupe
Respect to Hop he just dropped a turd on commercial rap/artist. Some rap is a result of souls empty of moral standards let alone talent. Let’s elevate music that has emotions thought an is uplifting to the culture.. Be the change
Truly! That song “ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 7” is a record I doubt will ever be beaten. Even by Hopsin himself can’t beat that record. That song was a slap on the face of humankind!

@Chuck D says: Exactily! Kids acting like Hopsin is the only one who addresses real shit.
Garbo ass nigga
Keep Telling yourself that you are the only one to open up your mind. Gtfoh
He’s good but not good enough to talk that bad about his own genre come on. He doesn’t have a classic album and he’s thirty now.
Another silly child. The messenger is never bigger than the message and truth is truth regardless. lot of you are out in society as zombies acting like youre scientists and you better fix that asap
if rap is like porn then your definitely gay bukkake.
Let’s be sincere here,how many rappers in the game truly raps better than em,tech,crooked,hopsin…they are far better than most of the rappers we glorify,that’s the truth
nas, Kendrick, ab-soul, lupe fiasco, Kanye, mac miller, killer mike, el-p
He talks nothing but truth! One of the realest out there!
Lol
Oh man… I like a lot of Hopsin’s music. So many of his verses are fire, his flow is always on point and he has the perfect voice for it.
Just a shame he has to be such a retard at times. Spends so much time worrying about “wack MCs” and other bullshit. Like dude, ignore the shit ones, there are hundreds of good rappers around, you aren’t the savour. Yeah you are just decent at rapping. but theres plenty of other good ones out there.
The only rapper to question god?
PLEASE.
What planet is this dude on. It’s like the only thing else he listens to is pop-radio.
Is this dude saying all the pple are idiots for liking his so called wack rap songs. I do admit tht most rap out there sucks but the reason they on top is because the “real rappers” out there aint doing nothing bout it or not doing enough. Some may argue the system this…, illuminati that…. if thats the case, what is the use of statements like ”nothing is imposible” etc.
The reason why the ”real rappers” are not making it is coz they are not doing enough for us to like em. Tru hip hop these days is mostly trash but dude, step your game up. Stop talkin bout other rappers
is blackberry classic good device or nah? i just wanna know.
Better than any Apple product, but nowhere near the Note 4/LG G4/Nexus 6/Lumia 1520 quality.
It’s not that great as a multi-media device. If you don’t care about that go with Blackberry. To say that its better than any Apple product though is ridiculous.
The bbOS is light years ahead of other OS’s in terms of usability and speed. Crapple can’t keep up with the speed even if millions of idiot buy them instead of BB.
If this guy wasn’t so gimmicky, I would take his words seriously.
Okay so how did Hopsin diss Drake? That didn’t seem like a diss to me, he was just stating facts.
WHO’S THAT COCKSUCKER??? ANOTHER FUCKIN NOBODY THINKIN HE THE SHIT FOH!
Only rapper to Discuss this? Maybe check out Beastcoast Hopsin.. Because that’s who’s taking over and who’s actual goal is to spread enlightenment and self growth, Funny how he acts so righteous when he’s really not, and based off his old work a bit hypocritical, I liked Hopsin when he started but you’re not the lyrical genius and God of rap you think you are
