Hopsin speaks on the lyricism of 2 Chainz and others, during Vlad TV Interview.
According to Los Angeles lyricist Hopsin, 2 Chainz’s lyrics are clever and catchy “for that world that he’s in.”
The topic of 2 Chainz’s lyrical prowess came about when a 2013 interview Hopsin took part in with XXL magazine was mentioned. In the interview, Hopsin claimed that a majority of Atlanta rappers “ain’t even really dope.”
Vlad then rattled off the names of Atlanta rappers who are lyrical. Andre 3000, Killer Mike, and 2 Chainz were among the artists named.

“For that world that he’s in, yeah, it’s very clever,” Hopsin said while addressing 2 Chainz’s lyrical ability. “It’s catchy…I’ve learned to appreciate the different types of genres within Hip Hop itself. That’s something I wasn’t doing when I first came out…A lot of these songs are just not popping in my opinion. But I understand times change. Times always change…There’s a lot of songs that I like now that I wouldn’t have liked two years ago or three years ago.”
Hopsin also touched on last year’s “No Words” record. In regards to the song, which quickly went viral thanks in part to its humorous nature, the rapper explained that he didn’t aim to call anyone out on the song.
“It’s not trying to call any rapper out,” he said. “That wasn’t the objective of the song. I just hear a lot of trap music and they’re using the autotune verses and all that, so it just has that feel to it…A lot of this trap music, it’s just the beats. It really is.”
